One of the best things in farming is gathering the chestnuts, hickory-nuts, butternuts, and even beechnuts, in the late fall, after the frosts have cracked the husks and the high winds have shaken them, and the colored leaves have strewn the ground. On a bright October day, when the air is full of golden sunshine, there is nothing quite so exhilarating as going nutting.
Perhaps," I continued, solicitously, "some pickled walnuts or a fricassee of Hungarian butternuts would do as well." Every one looked at me with a slight exhibition of curiosity. Louis Devoe arose and made his adieus. I watched him until he had sauntered slowly and grandiosely to the corner, around which he turned to reach his great warehouse and store.
Mother and I lived upon pigeons for I don't know how long. Barby wouldn't eat 'em she said she liked pork better; but I believe she did it on purpose." "Like enough," said Fleda, smiling, from her aunt's arms where she still lay. "And Seth has sent you plenty of your favourite hickory nuts, very fine ones; and I gathered butternuts enough for you near home." "Everything is for me," said Fleda.
When the great Memphis packet bore down upon him, he had, been seen from her guards, and rescued and made much of; and set ashore at the next landing, for fear her captain would get into trouble. In the morning he had walked into the country, first providing himself with butternuts and rawhide boots and a bowie-knife.
"Now, then!" said Mr. Crow a few minutes later, when Frisky had joined him. "There's the window wide open. And there are the butternuts, lying on the floor." Frisky could see great heaps of nuts. And without another word he crept out on a limb that brushed the window-sill and in another moment he was inside Farmer Green's attic. Frisky forgot to thank Mr. Crow.
This left only the window, and for lack of better cover he fastened over it a piece of muslin brought from home. But finding its dull white a jarring note, he gathered a quart of butternuts, and watching his chance at home, he boiled the cotton in water with the nuts and so reduced it to a satisfactory yellowish brown.
Alfredia Blossom, Jackson Montgomery Simms Blossom, and Burne-Jones Whistler Blossom had stored bushels of hickory nuts and butternuts in the cockloft of their mother's cabin, and they had promised to help fill the stockings that the girls' sewing class was to make. Every girl of Tess' acquaintance was going to do something "lovely," and she wanted to know what she could do?
"Would it be any use, grandpa, for me to jump down and run and tell them you don't want them to take the butternuts? I shall have so few". "No, dear no," said her grandfather; "they have got em about all by this time; the mischief's done. Didenhover meant to let 'em have 'em unknown to me, and pocket the pay himself Get up!"
The next morning Mrs. Temple looked out of her window and saw the militiamen on the lawn. "Pooh!" she said, "are those butternuts the soldiers that Nick went to fetch?" After that my admiration for Nick Temple increased greatly, whether excited by his courage and presence of mind, or his ability to imitate men and women and creatures, I know not.
"Why what are those bars down for?" she said as they came up with a field of winter grain. "Somebody's been in here with a wagon. O grandpa! Mr. Didenhover has let the Shakers have my butternuts! the butternuts that you told him they mustn't have." The old gentleman drew up his horse. "So he has!" said he.
