But in a moment he began to whistle an old Scotch air he had heard in his childhood, and which had never recurred to his memory since; and five minutes afterwards he was too busily treating a case of white swelling in the knee of a little boy, and thinking how to relieve the poor mother, who went out charring all day, and had to listen to the moans of her child all night, to have any thought for his own cares, which, if they really existed, were of so trifling a nature compared to the hard reality of this hopeless woe.
"You knew that before, Harry," Mrs. Holl said severely, "for I told you over and over again that your mother was a lady, though she was in bad circumstances, and I think, after charring in respectable houses for the last twenty years, I ought to know a lady when I sees one. Well, there's nothing as you think I could do about it?" "I should think not," Harry laughed.
A great bird, an eagle, or one of the hideous mountain vultures, very busy of late, alighting in quest of food which it might find in plenty elsewhere, in the track of the invaders. Attusah does not rely, however, on a facile hypothesis with a triumphant enemy at hand, and a dozen towns charring to ashes in sight. As noiseless as a shadow, as swift, Attusah is on his feet.
As the boat swept under the burning bowsprit, Israel caught at a fragment of the flying-jib, which sail had fallen down the stay, owing to the charring, nigh the deck, of the rope which hoisted it. Tanned with the smoke, and its edge blackened with the fire, this bit of canvass helped them bravely on their way.
This stick should be very slightly larger than the pendulum rod, to allow for the charring away of the outside by the molten metal. Failing lead, tin canisters filled with metal scrap may be made to serve. It will in this case be necessary to bore the lid and bottom centrally and solder in a tube fitting the rod, and to make an opening through which the weighting material can be inserted.
I'd back posts without any butt at all to last as long or longer than posts with 'em that's if the fence is well put up and well rammed." He had supplied fencing stuff, and fenced by contract, and well, you can get more posts without butts out of a tree than posts with them. He also objected to charring the butts.
I taught them how to boil the kettle quickly, how to make tea, and also, more difficult, how to make coffee; how to cook bacon just enough, and how to cook fish for I had taken a few trout earlier in the day and how to make toast without charring it to cinders.
It is possible that the skin may be so hardened and thickened by such preparations that superficial charring might take place without the pain becoming great; but the surface of the skin would certainly suffer severely. After Home had recovered from the trance, I examined his hand with care to see if there were any signs of burning or of previous preparation.
They released their sister from attending upon the operation of charring the wood, which requires constant attention, and divided among themselves the duty of watching it by night, according to their custom, one always waking, while his brothers slept.
I can still see a photograph of one of them lying in my washbowl with pierced eyes, curling and charring under the avenging flame of a match. The last of the series, the young commercial traveller, longest retained his glory.
