She then wrapped him up in a gaberdine, bound his noddle with a goodly clean biggin, clapped over it a felt such as those through which hippocras is distilled, at the bottom of which, instead of a cowl, she put three obelisks, made him draw on a pair of old-fashioned codpieces instead of mittens, girded him about with three bagpipes bound together, bathed his jobbernowl thrice in the fountain; then threw a handful of meal on his phiz, fixed three cock's feathers on the right side of the hippocratical felt, made him take a jaunt nine times round the fountain, caused him to take three little leaps and to bump his a seven times against the ground, repeating I don't know what kind of conjurations all the while in the Tuscan tongue, and ever and anon reading in a ritual or book of ceremonies, carried after her by one of her mystagogues.
'Ye can almost see my bit biggin', said Si, as he halted and pointed eastward of Larriston Fell to a patch of black peat and heather high on the rolling moorland. ''Tis gey ootbye, said Meg; 'clean aff the map a'thegither.
While Adams was dispensing commissary tea in iron-stone china cups to his two guests in the "dinkey" field office, his chief, taking the Rosemary's night run in reverse in the company of Town-Marshal Biggin, was turning the Rajah's coup into a small Utah profit.
Coffee made in a French filter or biggin is considered better by many; but I have preferred to give a rule that may be used with certainty where French cooking utensils are unknown. The directions found on packages of these articles are always reliable.
"Now have your coffee!" she cried, with a great air of relief. "You must need it by this time," she said with a low cynical laugh "both of you!" "Did you always make coffee with a biggin in France, Mrs. Pasmer?" asked Dan; and he laughed out the last burden that lurked in his heart. Mrs. Pasmer joined him. "No, Mr. Mavering. In France you don't need a biggin.
"Don't mind me," said the lady. "Go on, please, 'biggin' your castle. That will be a pretty sight to see, when it lights up." Ruth liked crooked sticks; they held fast by each other, and they made pretty curves and openings. So she went on, laying them deftly. "I should like to be here to-night," said Miss Elizabeth, still looking at the fire-pile. "Would you let an old maid in?"
Say, that old fire-eater back yonder in the private car has got a mighty pretty gal, ain't he?" "The young lady is his niece," said Winton, wishing that Mr. Biggin would find other food for comment. "I don't care; she's pretty as a Jersey two-year-old."
Unless the public occasion appeals strongly to the sympathies or the passions, a picked-up sheriff's posse is not likely to have very good metal in it. Peter Biggin laughed. "Don't be no ways nervous," he said in an aside to Winton. "Them professional veniry chumps couldn't hit the side o' Pacific Peak."
Oswald's wife then put before him a large pie, and some wheaten bread, with a biggin of good beer. Edward helped Pablo to a large allowance, and then filled his own platter; while thus occupied Oswald Partridge had left the cottage, as agreed. "What do you say, Pablo? Do you think you can walk back to-night?" "Yes. Like walking at night. My people always do; sleep in a daytime."
Not to miss his opportunity, at the first curve beyond Argentine he passed his cigar-case to Biggin and asked permission to ride on the rear platform of the day-coach for inspection purposes.
