No one I know ever had such beautiful presents. The cobs you told me of, and now this, and the pearls, and the tiara you gave me last week. I I don't deserve it. You give me too much, and I give nothing in return." "Oh yes, you do!" Richard said, flushing. "You you give me yourself." Lady Constance's tears ceased. Again she stared at him in gentle perplexity. "You promise to marry me "
"Canute, Canute!" she screamed in terror. Outside the door she heard a heavy sound as of a big dog getting up and shaking himself. The door opened and Canute stood before her, white as a snow drift. "What is it?" he asked kindly. "I am cold," she faltered. He went out and got an armful of wood and a basket of cobs and filled the stove. Then he went out and lay in the snow before the door.
That is all besides these things. Her bonnet-box frail ark of woman's pride was in the carriage, with a wrap and an umbrella, and her dressing bag. 'All right, ma'am. If you'll show me which it is I'll tell the porter to bring it. I've got the cobs outside. 'Oh, I am so sorry, how good of Miss Wendover! 'They wanted exercise, 'um.
It was a mad dream, born of the sea's roar and Tintoretto's painting. But this afternoon no such visions are suggested. The sea sleeps, and in the moist autumn air we break tall branches of the seeded yellowing samphire from hollows of the rocks, and bear them homeward in a wayward bouquet mixed with cobs of Indian-corn. Fusina is another point for these excursions.
Then presently they met three merry minstrels, all clad in red, who stared amain to see a Gray Friar with such short robes walking in the middle of the road, and two brothers with heads bowed with shame, riding upon richly caparisoned cobs on the footpaths. When they had come near to the minstrels, Little John waved his staff like an usher clearing the way. "Make way!" he cried in a loud voice.
Or they would take ears of Indian corn and bury them in wet mud, leaving them thus for two or three months; then the cobs would be removed and the rotted grain eaten with meat and fish, though it was all muddy and smelt horribly. Cartier also noticed that these Huron Indians had melons and pumpkins, and described their wampum or shell money.
We'll have out a smart pair of cobs, and you shall take them round the Park every morning, till you are fit to give all the other women whips the go-by." "Do you seriously believe such a scheme possible?" "It shall be if you say yes. Do you know that you have brought me luck? You have, 'pon my soul!
Instead of galloping over the countryside on frisky cobs, Nikolasha and Aleksasha were engaged in dreaming of Moscow, with its confectioners' shops and the theatres of which a cadet, newly arrived on a visit from the capital, had just been telling them; while their father had his mind full of how best to stuff his guests with yet more food, and Platon was given up to yawning.
Some few years ago a certain farmer was riding through this lane in the gloom of a winter evening. The farmer's friend, a dairyman, was riding beside him. A few paces in the rear rode the farmer's man. All three were well horsed on strong, round-barrelled cobs; and to be well horsed was to be in better spirits about Long-Ash Lane than poor pedestrians could attain to during its passage.
It'll be awful cold in th' mornin', and I do wish I could 'a' got home. Sadie's fires always go out." "Your cobs are closer to the house than mine; Sadie 'll get along all right." "How do you know where our cobhouse is now, Lizzie? You ain't seen it for over a year," Luther observed quietly.
