Most of the time the "coffee-mill," as the seamen called the paying-out machinery, ground steadily away and the cable sank into the sea. As the work progressed Field and Thomson, who had suffered so many failures in their great enterprise, watched with increasing anxiety. They were almost afraid to hope that the good fortune would continue.
Let it rise until you have prepared the filling; grind one cup of black poppy seed in a coffee-mill as tight as possible and clean it well, throw away the first bit you grind so as not to have the coffee taste; put it on to boil with one cup of milk, add two tablespoons of butter, one-half cup of seeded raisins, one-half cup of walnuts or almonds chopped up fine, two tablespoons of molasses or syrup, and a little citron cut up fine.
There was a clock without a case, the weights being visible, and the pendulum swinging in air, and a coffee-mill fixed against the wall. A religious newspaper lay on the mantel-piece.
The "coffee-mill" stopped, and Jack Vance pulled out his watch. "By me it's half-past twelve, and I'm four hours slow: twelve to one, one to two, two to three, three to four half-past four. Yes, it's time we turned round. Now, then, 'bout ship!"
Whether she was laughing at his arguments, agreeing with his theories, walking silently at his side through the woods, or watching the expressions that followed each other on his absorbed face, while he cleaned his gun or scrutinized the detached parts of Mrs. Carroll's coffee-mill, Susan followed him with eyes into which a new expression had crept.
The silence that followed was broken by the sweet voice of Sylvie. "Would you please let us out into the road?" "What! After that old beggar again?" the Gardener yelled, and began singing : "He thought he saw a Kangaroo That worked a coffee-mill: He looked again, and found it was A Vegetable-pill 'Were I to swallow this, he said, 'I should be very ill!"
"Acton saved us from getting into a row after that 'coffee-mill' business," remarked Diggory. "Rowland gave Noaks a dressing down when he hit me in the mouth," said Jack Vance. "And old Ally boxed Mouler's ears when they made me upset that paint," added Mugford.
I dare swear I have more of it in me than the student, and I'm only a poor tub compared to the huckster." Then the goblin put the tongue upon the coffee-mill, and, mercy! how it began to go! And he put it upon the butter-cask, and on the cash-box: they were all of the waste-paper cask's opinion, and the opinion of the majority must be respected. "Now I shall tell it to the student!"
With us the doctrine is, that each one should think for himself, be an individual mind and will, and not the spoke of a wheel. Every American voter or votress is allowed to keep his or her little intellectual wind-mill, coffee-mill, pepper-mill, loom, steam-engine, hand-organ, or whatever moral manufacturing or grinding apparatus he or she likes.
"I see an axe and a coffee-mill there, constable: levy onto 'em with your distringas. Experientia docet stultos! Pass out that pair of shoes!" A voice of a woman crying was heard, and Van Dorn and Levin both leaped out to look. Hulda also stepped down and disappeared.
