People have got enough to worry about, paying taxes, and buying strawberries and sugar, to can, without feeling that if they get a tax receipt the money will be a dead loss, or if they put up a cellar full of canned fruit the world will tip over on it and break every jar and bust every tin can.
First they began to sort out the things to be kept for immediate use. A saucepan, three tin cups, three tin plates, knives and forks, the teapot and kettle, a canister of tea, sugar and salt. The canned stuff, including thirty cans of vegetables, Cléo left untouched. She determined to keep it in reserve and depend upon the cabbage plants, one of which Bompard had brought back yesterday.
And, monsieur, all those barricades put up for nothing! They will not need the cattle gathered on Long-champs race-track and in the parks at Versailles for a siege. The people who laid in stocks of tinned goods till the groceries of Paris were empty of everything in tins they will either have to live on canned food or confess that they were pigs, hein?
It isn't much bigger than that old desk Miss Prue gave you, but it has everything in it, I should think; and there isn't an inch of waste room. I found everything I needed to set the table with, and we had canned things, and biscuit and cheese and coffee, and lots of nice things to eat. You don't know much about fishing with a jack-light, do you? It's good fun.
"Here we are for a purpose. The quicker we get our work done the better. Come on, let's get busy!" Stifling the homesick feeling that tried to win upon them they set to work. All the valuables they could recover they collected canned supplies, tools, instruments, weapons, ammunition and a hundred and one miscellaneous articles they had formerly used.
"Wireless!" she said. "What did I tell you?" That decided her next move, for that evening she put some tea and canned corn and a rubber blanket into the canoe; and in fear and trembling I went with her. "It's going to rain, Lizzie," she said, "and after all, that detective may be surly; but he's doing his duty by his country.
But what irritate me are the people who think that the education you get in a modern American super-heated, cross-compound college comes to you already canned in neat little textbooks sold by the trust at one hundred per cent profit, and that all you have to do is to go to your room with them, fill up a student lamp with essence of General Education and take the lid off.
When Ephriam Baskitt loomed up on the horizon with two freight wagons filled with the dust-covered canned goods of a defunct grocery store and twenty-four hours later was a fixture, nobody saw anything humorous in the headline in the Courier which heralded him as "The Merchant Prince of Crowheart."
Chillingwood laughed pleasantly. "We're Government officials," he said with meaning. "Yes," put in Grey. "But we've got plenty of canned truck in our baggage. I'm thinking you may find our supplies a pleasant change." "No doubt no doubt whatever. Cat's meat would be a delicacy after months of tallowy pork." This slow-spoken trapper surveyed his guests thoughtfully.
Daggett.... "I told the boys I guessed she was some relation of th' Grenoble Orrs, an' mebbe " "Well; she ain't," denied Mrs. Black crisply. "M-m-m?" interrogated Mr. Daggett, intent upon a careful search among the various canned products on his shelf. "How'd she happen to come to Brookville?" Mrs. Black tossed her head.
