I may, however, record to our credit one righteous act the perfect and satisfactory anglicizing of a Spanish word, whereby we have made 'canyon' out of cañon. And I cannot forbear to adduce another word for a fish soup, chowder, which the early settlers derived from the French name of the pot in which it was cooked, chaudière.
There was that neatness about the abandoned cabin which must always be associated in his mind with Sheila Macklin, even had he not seen her sitting pensively upon a driftwood timber by the door. The ax had been doing good service, for there was a great heap of wood cut into stove lengths. The fragrant odor of something chowder, perhaps simmering on the stove, floated through the open door.
It was a sunny day, with a fresh, cool breeze blowing from the East, and when they were seated around the table, the big tureen filled with hot chowder seemed just what their keen appetites craved. Boiled fish, garnished with cress followed the chowder, and simple pudding, served with cream, furnished the dessert.
So everybody in sight had to walk up and have drinks on him. He took a fancy to me and asked me to dinner with him. We went to a restaurant in Diamond alley and sat on stools and had a sparkling Moselle and clam chowder and apple fritters. "'Then he wanted to show me his bachelor apartment on Liberty street. He's got ten rooms over a fish market with privilege of the bath on the next floor above.
She was gone home long before he put out the store lights and turned out the last lingering idler, for Cap'n Abe preferred to cook for himself.

How could it come among my peas?" "True. Besides, I saw Chowder, with my own eyes, yesterday, following a team; and George C hopes to recover him for me." "Indeed! I am glad to hear it. How these mosquitoes sting. Shall we go back to the house?"
"Ever since young Stiggs coming from that unfort'nt v'y'ge of his, when he was gone four years and a half, with only three barrels of ile, was found dead in my first floor back, with his harpoon in his side; ever since then I allow no boarders to take sich dangerous weepons in their rooms at night. So, Mr. But the chowder; clam or cod to-morrow for breakfast, men?"
Moreover, as the smoke climbs up the precipice, it brings with it a savory smell from a pan of fried fish and a black kettle of chowder, and reminds me that my dinner was nothing but bread and water and a tuft of samphire and an apple.
"Say, if yer don't believe me, may I never eat another clam chowder agin durn my boots if I ever will, thar!"
Todd were lenient, and we all took our places after William had paused to wash his hands, like a pious Brahmin, at the well, and put on a neat blue coat which he took from a peg behind the kitchen door. Then he resolutely asked a blessing in words that I could not hear, and we ate the chowder and were thankful.
