Boil them in half a pint of water very slowly for half an hour, adding a bit of alum the size of a pea; or use beet root sliced, and some liquor poured over. For White, use cream; or almonds finely powdered, with a spoonful of water. For Yellow, yolks of eggs, or a little saffron steeped in the liquor and squeezed.
What has a knowledge of natural science to do with the construction of stoves, furnaces, and lamps? How are iron, silver, and copper ore mined and reduced? How is sugar obtained from maple trees, cane, and beet root? How does a suction pump work and why? Without a knowledge of such applications of natural science we should be thrown back into barbarism.
The doctor gave me a vial of little red pills about the size of beet seeds, with explicit directions as to how to take them. If I exceeded the dosage prescribed I endangered my life, for these pellets were of a high potency. They were little two-edged swords which might cut both ways. I took this medicine for perhaps a week; that was longer than I usually confined myself to one remedy.
The gardener was glad to sell him. "I hope he will enjoy his new work," said the gardener. "He never seemed quite happy with me." The tanner used the donkey to carry hides. These were heavy and bad-smelling. They almost made him sick. "Oh, dear!" the donkey groaned one day. "I wish I were back with the gardener. The vegetables were fresh and I was often given a cabbage leaf or a beet top.
Pryor leaned over the fence, dark purple like a beet now. "You tell me where he is, or I'll choke it out of you," he said. I guess he meant it. I took one long look at his lean, clawlike fingers, and put both hands around my neck. "He knew Thomas saw him. He went that way," I said, waving off toward the north.
I walked to the suburb of Blangy by way of St.-Nicolas and came to a sinister place. Along the highroad from Arras to Douai was a great factory of some kind probably for beet sugar and then a street of small houses with back yards and gardens much like those in our own suburbs.
Barley, oats, and rye, the turnip and the beet, the beetroot, the carrot, the pumpkin, and so many other vegetable products, leave us in the same perplexity; their point of departure is unknown to us, or at most suspected behind the impenetrable cloud of the centuries.
Some had scattered through the fields to dig up beet roots and other tubers, chewing with loud crunchings the hard pulp to which the grit still adhered. An ensign was shaking the fruit trees using as a catch-all the flag of his regiment. That glorious standard, adorned with souvenirs of 1870, was serving as a receptacle for green plums.
"It's a little beet!" cried Mab, clapping her hands in delight. "No, they're radishes!" exclaimed Hal. "Aren't they, Daddy?" "Yes, those are red early radishes. Here are some white ones over here for you to pull, Mab. They are called icicles." Mab gave a cry of delight as she pulled up some long, white radishes. They did look a little like icicles. "Radishes grow very quickly," said Daddy Blake.
If we can, sir! but we're greatly rushed with our new and patriotic Thrift orders. Good morning, sir." The just complaint of Madame Pavalucini, the celebrated contralto. "I would not want to creetecize ze gouvermen' ah! non! That would be what you call a skonk treeck, hein?" We are doing our beet, hein? We seeng, we recite!
