Should the paleologists unearth the World building, they will find in the basement an imperishable object about the size of a bushel-basket, which will puzzle them not a little, but which his contemporaries could readily inform them was the gall-bag of Josef Phewlitzer's circulation liar.
The Day of My Death The incidents the author does not profess to have witnessed. But they are given as related by eye-witnesses whose testimony would command a verdict from any honest jury. Alison was sitting on a bandbox. She had generally been sitting on a bandbox for three weeks, or on a bushel-basket, or a cupboard shelf, or a pile of old newspapers, or the baby's bath-tub.
Finally he turned around, looked at me, made a dive for the bushel-basket and the hoe, and hurried out of the door. "I'll bring up a pail of whitewash," he called. I shall ask Althea again some time.

When Rob was dismissed, he found Teddy reposing in the bushel-basket quite used up, but unwilling to quit the field; for he flapped his hat at the thieves with one grubby little hand, while he refreshed himself with the big apple held in the other.
