It seems that you are negligent, and I hear of grave faults in your last soup, and a fatal mistake in the cooking of your ears. Take care, brother, take care; a single step in a wrong direction may be irremediable." The monk grew red and pale by turns, and stammered out an excuse. "Enough," said Gorenflot, "what can we have for breakfast to-day?" "Eggs fried with cock's combs." "After?"
Harry's father did first suggest said Peterborough, but her quickly-altered features caused him to draw in his breath, as she had done after one short laugh. My grandfather turned a round side-eye on me, hard as a cock's. Janet immediately started topics to fill Peterborough's mouth: the weather, the walk to church, the probable preacher.
Gretel is the first to awake, and she wakes Hansel by imitating the song of the lark. He springs up with the cry of chanticleer, and lark's trill and cock's crow are mingled in a most winsome duet, which runs out into a description of the dream. They look about them to point out the spot where the angels had been.
This is how Christmas was celebrated in some towns. First there appeared a young man half naked, with wings on his back; he recited the Ave Maria to a young girl who answered him fiat, and the angel kissed her on the mouth: then a child enclosed in a great cardboard cock cried, imitating the cock's cry: Puer natus est nobis.
Generally the Herr would be last. And when he was spied approaching, with a cock's feather in his hat and supporting himself authoritatively on his big stick, a chorus of acclaim greeted him, for craving appetites were now to be satisfied. The household would pass the evening dining al fresco and enjoying the landscape studded with historic and other enduring memories.
Just the tips, to tell what they would be like when grown, and not a little proud they were of them. The ruff is to the partridge what the train is to the peacock his chief beauty and his pride. A hen's ruff is black with a slight green gloss. A cock's is much larger and blacker and is glossed with more vivid bottle-green.
Then I dressed myself, thinking that I looked like a dead man, for the vinegar was very strong; but when I entered Monsieur Goulden's room, he cried out: "Joseph, what is the matter with you? You are as red as a cock's comb." And, looking at myself in the mirror, I saw that my face was red to my ears, and to the tip of my nose.
Make a toad sit upon a cock's egg, and he will hatch a scorpion which will become a salamander. A blind person will recover sight by putting one hand on the left side of the altar and the other on his eyes. Virginity does not hinder maternity. Honest people, lay these truths to heart.
Young Niederberg he who wears the finest carnations on his hat, but who then, it being cold weather, wore three cock's feathers gained in wrestling-matches strutted down the Edelsheim street, arm in arm with his great friend, the fair-haired Hansel of Heinwiese, a rude young churl, praising each other for their strength of limb and good looks.
Perhaps, too, the beauty and grace, the cloth habit fitting her slim, elegant figure, the beaver hat that looked so jaunty and had in it some long cock's plumes, quite a new fashion. Then there was the trim foot with its fine shoe and steel buckle, all gauds of worldliness to be sure, but they would attract a man's eye.
