The smell of varnish on new furniture is as delightfully novel as the odor of the orange-blossoms; the brightness of the new carpets and the crispness of the new curtains both mark an era, even if the stove is obstinate about drawing or a man is called out of bed to put up the coffee-mill.
When Topeka and her mother were alone in the kitchen, Topeka grinding the coffee and all unconsciously working her jaw in an accompaniment to the coffee-mill, her mother bent over her and said: "Did you dream of anything last night?" Topeka simultaneously stopped working the coffee-mill and her jaw, and regarded her mother solemnly.
The last Gunkus was to empty the scuttles into the coffee-mill. In a very short time they had this plan in execution.
There's something wrong with the steering-gear, and it makes a beastly grinding noise as it goes along, so Maxton christened it the 'coffee-mill. Fellows are always chaffing old Jobling about it, when they go into his shop to buy bits of leather, and asking him how much he'll take for his coffee-mill, and the old chap gets into an awful wax." "Oh, I don't care!" answered Jack.
Camp equipage, in addition to that on hand in Gatling Gun Detachment: one buzzacot, small; four mess-pans, one dish-pan, one coffee-mill. Blanket-roll complete; revolver with 50 rounds per man; waist-belts and entrenching-knives. "It is recommended that Priv. Butz, 'G' Co., 13th Infantry, Corp. Robert S. Smith, 'C' Co., 13th Infantry, and Serg.
Hannah wants you to put a new bottom in her tin saucepan and a new cover on her umbrella, and to mend her coffee-mill; it won't grind at all!" said Nora. "Yes, miss; soon's ever I gets the time. See, I've got a well to dig at Colonel Mervin's, and a chimney to build at Major Blackistone's, and a hearth to lay at Commodore Burgh's, and a roof to put over old Mrs.
A coffee-mill affixed to the wall is far more convenient than one that must he held on the lap. It is best to grind the coffee while warm. Allow half a pint of ground coffee to three pints of water. If the coffee is not freshly roasted, you should put in more.
"Yes," answered Jack ruefully; "and we're bound to be back late pushing this old thing all the way. I wish old Jobling would try a ride on it himself." "Oh! is that the 'coffee-mill'?" exclaimed the prefect, laughing. "Well, look here! If you're late, I'll see whoever's on duty, and tell him about the breakdown, and see if I can get you off." "Oh, thanks awfully!" chorused the small boys.
Cosette came back with a tin of sardines, a piece of steak, some French beans, two cakes of the kind called 'nuns, a bunch of grapes, and a segment of Brie cheese. She put on an apron, and went into the kitchenlet, and began to cook, giving Henry instructions the while how to lay the table and where to find the things. Then she brought him the coffee-mill full of coffee, and told him to grind it.
Topeka held the handle of the coffee-mill in her hand; her jaw continued to work with the labor of her mental process. "I’ve thought hard, maw, and all he told was about the pup." Alida went back to her bedroom and again felt the brown bureau. "What’s the matter with me, anyhow? It’s the lonesomeness, and they bein’ agin Jim the way they are. God, this country’s hard on women and horses!"
