You needn't wish to be happier and merrier than those two lovers, as they gaily hastened to that bright and cosy corner of the town where those lovely ham-and-beef shops make glad the faces of the passers-by. Beauty used to calculate in her quaint way how much steel was worn away with each pound of ham, and how much therefore went to the sandwich. And what an artist was the carver!
What lay beyond, it now was his duty to discover. The three empty roads spread before him like a picture puzzle, smiling at his predicament. Whichever one he followed left two unguarded. Should he creep upon for choice Carver Centre, the enemy, masked by a mile of fir trees, might advance from Carver or South Carver, and obviously he could not follow three roads at the same time.
"Just as eloquent as you are, Frank," said the Lady Margaretta. "And as good a carver," said Patience. "Miss Bateson has lost her heart to him for ever, because of his carving," said the Lady Margaretta. "But perfection never repeats itself," said Patience. "Well, you see, I have not got any brothers," said Frank; "so all I can do is to sacrifice myself."
By the by, who's the gentleman across there just going up to the grave the gentleman who looks like an actor? Is he an actor?" "That? Oh!" answered Selwood. "No that's Mr. Frank Burchill, who used to be Mr. Herapath's secretary my predecessor." "Oh!" responded Triffitt. He had caught sight of Carver a few yards off, and he hurried his notebook into his pocket, and bustled off.
Efforts to explain by assuming a second marriage of Carver or a first marriage of Howland fail to convince, for, surely, such relationships would have been mentioned by Bradford, Winslow, Morton or Prence.
It was of such that the poor Indian was thinking, whom our host saw gazing on the shore of Nomabbin lake. He mentions the rise and fall of the lake-waters, by a tide of three feet, once in seven years, a phenomenon not yet accounted for. His view of the Indian character is truly impartial. They are in every feature Romans, as described by Carver, and patriotism their leading impulse.
"A bullet for that bull," said Carver; and I could see the grin on his scornful face; "a bullet for ballast to his brain, the first time I come across him." "Nonsense, captain! I won't have him shot, for he is my old school-fellow, and hath a very pretty sister. But his cousin is of a different mould, and ten times as dangerous."
In the middle classes this duty is not unusually taken by the wife of a man whom business may often detain from his home; and a skilful and economical carver is no bad helpmate for a hard-working professional man.
Now it was my great desire, and my chiefest hope, to come across Carver Doone that night, and settle the score between us; not by any shot in the dark, but by a conflict man to man. As yet, since I came to full-grown power, I had never met any one whom I could not play teetotum with: but now at last I had found a man whose strength was not to be laughed at.
The triangular piece of the neck between the shoulders is reckoned the most delicate part, and the ribs the next best. The latter are easily divided according to the number of guests, being commonly little more than gristle; there are choice bits also in the shoulders and thighs; the ear also is reckoned a delicacy. The portion of stuffing and gravy must not be forgotten by the carver.
