He had fled for refuge to his stateroom and was lying in the lower berth, chewing the pillow, a soul in torment. There was a tap at the door. Sam sat up dizzily. He had lost all count of time. "Who's that?" "I have a note for you, sir." It was the level voice of J. B. Midgeley, the steward.
This plant has been cultivated in Europe, where its seed is eaten preserved in vinegar, and its flowers are used to season salads." "Then the Mexicans do not know its value, for I have never seen it on their tables." Perhaps they find it too insipid after having been accustomed to chewing capsicums." "You have the seasoning, and I have the salad!" suddenly cried my friend.
That saint on earth, as the people uphold him to be, and as—I must needs say—he really looks! Who, now, that saw him pass in the procession, would think how little while it is since he went forth out of his study,—chewing a Hebrew text of Scripture in his mouth, I warrant,—to take an airing in the forest! Aha! we know what that means, Hester Prynne!
The kernel is white like the cocoanut. They wrap a bit of this kernel with a pinch of air-slacked lime in a pepper leaf, then chew, chew, all day, and in intervals of chewing they spray the vividly colored saliva on door-step, pavement and church floor. I often watched the natives climb the tall cocoanut trees, about eighty feet high, with only the fine fern-like leaves at the extreme top.
He was lying under a scarlet maple, chewing his cud, and lazily watching a rabbit scratching its ears some dozen paces distant. Suddenly a soundless gray shadow shot from a thicket and dropped upon the rabbit. There was a squeak, a feeble scuffle; and then a big lynx, setting the claws of one paw into the prey, turned with a snarl and eyed venomously the still, dark form under the maple.
He watched them having their fortunes told, the young women blushing and crying, "Say!" and "Ain't he wicked?" and the young men getting their ears boxed for certain remarks. He watched them standing open-mouthed at the booths and side shows with hands still locked, or again they were chewing cream candy in unison.
Now, speaking, Ravenslee smiled, with eyes as well as lips; beholding which, the Spider grew slowly upright, his knotted fists unclenched, and, staring Ravenslee in the eyes, he reached out slowly and by degrees and grasped the proffered hand. "Say," said he, falling to violent mastication of his eternal chewing gum, "who'd you have d'mitts on with last an' when?"
He could write better than his father or mother he wrote like copperplate, turning his head on one side and chewing his tongue, keeping pace with his lips, as the pen glided gracefully over the paper. His ambition was to make a bird with a card in its bill, and on this card, written so small no one could read it, the proud name, G. Peabody.
And when Sharon's sympathies are stirred sir, it will espouse a cause very warmly Give me that!" broke off the schoolmaster, and there followed a brief wrestle. "Chewing again to-day, sir," he added to me. "Abe lemme have it," shrieked Josey. "Lemme go, or he'll come over and fix you." But the calm, chilly Eastman had ground the tobacco under his heel.
Before he reached his apartment he was chewing away vigorously on a mouthful of "biltong" and having the time of his life. The contrast between Smuts and his predecessor Botha is striking. These two men, with the possible exception of Kruger, stand out in the annals of the Boer. Kruger was the dour, stolid, canny, provincial trader.
