The women moistened its lips with barley-water, and hushed its fretful whimper. "Come," said Philip, taking Pete's arm. "Let me lean on you, Philip," said Pete, and the stalwart fellow went tottering down the stairs. They sat on opposite sides of the fireplace, and kept the staircase door open that they might hear all that happened in the room above.
Hazlewood filled for himself a glass of barley-water and drank it, contemplating Henry Thresk over the rim. Then he went back to him, carrying his candle in his hand. "Why don't you get married, Mr. Thresk?" he asked. "You ought to, you know. Men run to seed so if they don't." "Thank you," said Thresk.

This is to make at least two English quarts of Emulsion.
The sea of blood rolls before our eyes, the roar of the mob sounds in our ears; we are carried along with the unhappy Louis to the very frontier, and just on the verge of escape are seized and brought back King Coach with him to Paris, in a cold perspiration. It is said that barley-water goes well with everything; if so, the epic is the exception which proves the rule.
She would sit at a sewing-machine and show old Mrs. Goodspeed how to turn a certain hem, she would prescribe barley-water and whey for the Barnes baby, she would explain to Mrs. Ryan the French manner of cooking tough meat, it is true; but, on the other hand, she let pale little discouraged Mrs. Weber, of the Bakery, show her how to make a German potato pie, and when Mrs. Ryan's mother, old Mrs.
Take crab-eyes, a drachm, cream of tartar, half a drachm; white sugar-candy finely powdered, weight of both; mix all well together and give as much as will lie on a silver threepence, in a spoonful of barley-water or sack whey. A Quieting Night-Draught, when the Cough is Violent.
It struck me as odd that her mother's artistic sympathies did not appear to be excited by the pictures.
