"He was a bad man, Daisy, and he richly deserves his punishment," said Noel, in an almost stern voice, for he wished to check any unhealthy sentimentality on the part of the delicate child. "You must think of what you and your sisters have suffered, and be glad he has been prevented doing any more mischief." "Drink up your beef-tea, missy," said Hannah. "Please, Mr.
The other meal, the lunch, in the dining-room, was of no importance to any one. If he could take his beef-tea it would do him good, they all said. It seemed as if a long time passed before the doctor came; from Sir Tom to the youngest kitchen-wench, the scullery-maid, all were in suspense. There was but one breath, long drawn and stifled, when he came into the house.
And she gave him some good beef-tea, a slice of mutton, a piece of bacon, and sometimes small glasses of brandy, that he had not the strength to put to his lips. Abbé Bournisien, hearing that he was growing worse, asked to see him.
"You may think yourself lucky you have not to adjust that question, Madame Nan." "There's the quarter chiming, Frank will want his beef-tea." Presently after Miles laid his hand on his mother's shoulder, and said, "Mother, here's a daughter who thinks you want to turn us out because she is too slow and stupid for your home child." And he drew Anne up blushing as if she were his freshly-won bride.
"She's very low," he said. "Is she a delicate girl naturally?" "She looked strong enough when she came to school," nurse answered; "but she soon went off, as so many of them do."

Rest and relief from lessons is the great thing."
For just at the moment, to this assembled group, entered Hannah, bearing in her hands a tray, on which was a cup of beef-tea for Lena. She was close to her little lady before she perceived the stranger, whom she would have shunned as she would a pestilence. The recognition was mutual, and to Hannah most unpleasant, and in the start it gave her she nearly dropped the tray and its contents.
She rose, and I rose, and she passed me with an inclination, stepping noiselessly into the house. "I want beef-tea!" bawled Halyard after her; then he gave me an unamiable glance. "I was a well-bred man," he sneered; "I'm a Harvard graduate, too, but I live as I like, and I do what I like, and I say what I like." "You certainly are not reticent," I said, disgusted.
And then I think you ought to go back and lie down for a bit.

'I should like to wait, Jane said, 'until Sir Edward arrives, and to hear what he has to say.
An' they'd swop beef-tea an' jellies with each other, an' Dan 'ud try an' coax a little port wine out o' Harry, which he 'ad to make blood with, but Harry 'ud say he hadn't made enough that day, an' he'd drink to the better health of old Dan's prognotice, an' smack his lips until it drove us a'most crazy to 'ear him.
Still, I know he's gone and all to that...." "It's when it's all over that you'll miss him," said my aunt. "I know that," said Eliza. "I won't be bringing him in his cup of beef-tea any me, nor you, ma'am, sending him his snuff. Ah, poor James!"
