The walls had been once white-washed: but were now hung with cobwebs, and speckled with dirt of all sorts; and I believe the brick-floor had not been swept for half a century. We supped in an outward room suitable in all respects to the chamber, and fared villainously. The provision was very ill-dressed, and served up in the most slovenly manner.
The place looked dreary enough and cold enough with its damp brick-floor and its rusty range; but at least they were out of the air, and out of sight of the moon! If only they had some of that coal alight! "I don't see as we're much better off!" said Tommy. "I'm as cold as pigs' trotters!" "Then what must baby be like!" said Clare, whose heart was brimful of anxiety for his charge.
Though the first fits of the gout, I believe, commence with a torpor of the liver; and the ball of the toe becomes inflamed instead of the membranes of the liver in consequence of this torpor, as a coryza or catarrh frequently succeeds a long exposure of the feet to cold, as in snow, or on a moist brick-floor; yet in old or exhausted constitutions, which have been long habituated to its attacks, it sometimes commences with a torpor of the stomach, and is transferable to every membrane of the body.
In the Country it is frequently done by some to throw a Sack of Malt on a Stone or Brick-floor as soon as it is ground, and there let it lye, giving it one turn, for a Day or two, that the Stones or Bricks may draw out the fiery Quality it received from the Kiln, and give the Drink a soft mild Taste. Of Brewing in general.
"I don't know," giggled the boy, crouching limp on the brick-floor. He knew now what those rabbits he and Gwen had ferreted with glee felt, old Yellow Jack worming down the burrow after them. Yes: it was nicer to ferret than to be ferreted. Nicest of all perhaps to be the ferret and suck blood, suck blood, suck blood, glued between the eyes of your victim. Again the boy giggled.
