Ridiculous little pudgy Buddle how awful on a sudden are you grown the interpreter of death in this very case. 'My case, thought that seemingly listless figure on the bed; 'my case I suppose it is fatal I am to go out of this room in a long cloth-covered box. I am going to try, alone and for ever, the value of those theories of futurity and the unseen which I have quietly scouted all my days.
That Johnny certainly could cook! Served on china dishes upon a cloth-covered table, we had mounds of fried steaks and shoals of fried bacon; and a bushel, more or less, of sheepherder potatoes; and green peas and sliced peaches out of cans; and sour-dough biscuits as light as kisses and much more filling; and fresh butter and fresh milk; and coffee as black as your hat and strong as sin.

York gave a cry that went to responsive hearts in every home in that part of the valley. And she secluded herself, and sobbed for days. VI Sergeant York's Own Story When Alvin went to war he carried with him a small, red, cloth-covered memorandum book, which was to be his diary. He knew that beyond the mountains that encircled his home there was a world that would be new to him.
"I don't see the use of carrying two or three pints o' water along all day right past springs and over cricks," he remarked to his chum, as the two were examining the queer, cloth-covered cans. "We've got to take 'em, any way," answered his chum, resignedly, "It's regulations." On his entry into service a boy accepted everything without question when assured that it was "regulations."
