I and my tin box collapsed together in the corner. Yes, I was so surprised that my legs seemed to give way under me. People began to talk, but above the hum of the conversation I heard young Somers say in a low voice: "Woodden, you're a born fool." Also the answer: "That's what my mother always told me, master, and she ought to know if anyone did. But what's wrong now?
A few days before they sowe or set, the men with woodden instruments made almost in forme of mattocks or hoes with long handles: the women with short peckers or parers, because they vse them sitting, of a foot long, and about fiue inches in bredth, doe onely break the vpper part of the ground to raise vp the weeds, grasse, and old stubbes of corne stalks with their roots.
I suppose it will fetch a good deal several pounds." "Maybe, sir, can't tell. All I know is that I've got to buy it as you can bear me witness. Master, he ain't one to be crossed for money. What he wants, he'll have, that is if it be in the orchid line." "I suppose you are fond of orchids, too, Mr. Woodden?" "Fond of them, sir? Why, I loves 'em!"
And the time of the tryal of the strength is, when you incorporate the honey and water together, before the boiling of it. Keep them boiling an hour and a half after they begin to boil, skimming well all the while. It will be an hour upon the fire before it boil. When it is clear and enough boiled, pour it out into woodden vessels to cool.
It is true it never occurred to me that it would go for anything like £2,300 the odd £300 was more my idea, but Woodden only obeyed his orders, and ought not to be abused for doing so." "There's what I call a master worth serving," remarked Woodden. "Very well, young man," said Sir Alexander, "you have purchased this article.
Their walles are not aboue two foote thicke made of brickes: euery flanker hath diuers mastes and peeces of wood, which they vse when they are besieged by their enemies. The houses are made of straw and reedes, standing vpon 4. woodden postes.
Oh! come here, Woodden, I want to speak to you." The person called Woodden obeyed. He was a man of about fifty, indefinite in colouring, for his eyes were very light-blue or grey and his hair was sandy, tough-looking and strongly made, with big hands that showed signs of work, for the palms were horny and the nails worn down.
In the stewing it with butter, season it to your taste, with what you think fitting. Beat it exceeding well with a large woodden Mallet, till you may easily pluck it all in pieces, severing every flake from other, and every one of them in it so being loose, spungy and limber, as the whole fish must be, and plyant like a glove, which will be in less then an hour.
Woodden, get off down to Twickenham with 'O. Pavo. Keep it warm, for it feels rather like frost. Put it in the stove for to-night and give it a little, just a little tepid water, but be careful not to touch the flower. Take a four-wheeled cab, it's slow but safe, and mind you keep the windows up and don't smoke. I shall be home for dinner."
Quatermain, if anyone attempts to rob you, call for Woodden and he will knock them down. He's my gardener, you know, and entirely to be trusted, especially if it is a matter of knocking anyone down." "Aye, I'll knock him down surely," said Woodden, doubling his great fist and looking round him with a suspicious eye. "Now listen, Woodden.
