"Now we'll make ourselves easy and fall to threshing things out," he remarked, filling a blackened brier-root pipe, into the bowl of which he packed the tobacco with his stubby forefinger. "Yes, I'm a lover of the weed, you see don't you smoke or chaw, suh?" Carraway shook his head.
For an instant Carraway felt strangely tempted to turn and run as fast as he could along the sunken road remembering, as he struggled with the impulse, that he had once been caught at the age of ten and whipped for stealing apples.
"Thar, thar, Saidie," Fletcher interrupted with a frank brutality, which the lawyer found more repelling than the memory of his stolen fortune. "Mr. Carraway doesn't want to hear about your fascinator. He'd a long ways rather have you make his coffee." The little woman flushed purple and drew back her chair with an ugly noise from the head of the lavishly spread table.
We thought you'd need 'em." Mrs. Carraway turned away to cough slightly. "Need them?" demanded Carraway with a perplexed frown. "When?" "Oh to-morrow," said Tommie. "What for?" demanded Carraway. "Why, to give to us, of course" said the children in chorus. "My dear," said Carraway, two hours later, after the children had retired, "I've been thinking this thing over." "Yes?" said Mrs. Carraway.
A rump steak stewed in the same way will be found exceedingly fine. Place a small piece of the rump of beef, or the under cut of a sirloin in a deep pan with three pints of vinegar, two ounces of carraway seeds tied in a muslin bag, salt, pepper, and spices, cover it down tight, and bake thoroughly in a slow oven. This is a fine relish for luncheons.
"Not only that, I'll add my own persuasion to it, though I fear I have little influence with your neighbour." "Tell him I beg him to come," insisted the boy, and the urgent voice remained with Carraway throughout the day.
His voice, for all the laughter, sounded brutal, and Carraway, gazing at him in wonder, saw his face grow suddenly lustful like that of an evil deity. The beauty was still there, blackened and distorted, a beauty that he felt to be more sinister than ugliness. The lawyer was in the presence of a great naked passion, and involuntarily he lowered his eyes.
"I confess that I once took the same view of it, my dear young lady," he returned, "so I ended by dropping the name and keeping only the initial. Your grandfather will tell you that I am now G. Carraway and nothing more. I couldn't afford, as things were, to make a fairy tale of my life, you see."
Then he said: "I want to say to you, my dear, that ah I want Christmas celebrated this year after my plan of selection. Instead of squandering our hard-earned dollars on things no sensible person wants and none can use, we will consider, first of all, practical utility." "Very well," sighed Mrs. Carraway. "I quite agree as far as you and I are concerned but how about the children?
Yes! it all depends upon whether the giant is as much bigger than the carraway seed, as you are bigger than the curious little insects that float about and fight in the drop of water from the Serpentine river for if he is, we may conclude from analogy that a giant could not see a carraway seed except through a microscope.
