He was aware of another strand completed in their mutual bond: the sermon had been a moral, an emotional, and an oratorical success; and in the expansion of the following morning Dr Drummond had remembered that he had promised his housekeeper a new gas cooking-range, and that it was high time he should drop into Murchison's to inquire about it.
Finding that there was no stopping him, I followed, in obedience, perhaps, to that great and no doubt beneficent, but as yet unexplained, instinct which causes sheep to leap after their bellwether. We were in a basement, or semi-subterranean story. I felt the walls of a narrow passage on either side of me, and can swear to a kitchen near by, for I smelt its cooking-range.
He moved here and there, constructing, by means of flat stones, a trough to be used as a cooking-range. At the edge of the clearing he met the Indian girl returning with her little birch-bark saucer. "Little Sister," said he. She raised her eyes to him. "I want the truth." "What truth, Little Father?" He looked searchingly into her eyes. "It does not matter; I have it," he replied.
Not on earth," said the doctor, with his back to him, clicking the lock of the medicine case. Nostromo slowly crossed the large kitchen, all dark but for the glow of a heap of charcoal under the heavy mantel of the cooking-range, where water was boiling in an iron pot with a loud bubbling sound.
"His temple is a little niche in the brick cooking-range; his palace is often filled with smoke; and his Majesty sells for one farthing."
"And now," says the O.W., "if three of you will go down to the flat and pick the browse clean from the two hemlock tops, Bush and I will fix a cooking-range." "A what?" asks one. "Going to start a boarding-house?" says another. "Notion of going into the hardware business?" suggests a third.
There was also a caboose, or galley, with a great cooking-range, and, indeed, every convenience the men could desire. We carried eight guns 9-pounders for we were going into seas where it would be necessary to be well-armed, and constantly on our guard against treachery; and we were also amply supplied with boats, which, I may remark, were always kept in good order, and ready for instant use.
The conductor then led them forward, where, on each side of a passage, were four rooms, each provided with a handsome, narrow bedstead, which the steward said were for the use of the lords and ladies in waiting. Forward of these, in the bow of the vessel, was the kitchen, a three-cornered room like that on the Young America, with a large galley or cooking-range in the middle.
Clissold started the cooking-range, Wilson and I walked over to the Black beach and round back by Blue Lake. The temperature was down at -31° and the interior of the hut was very cold. Tuesday, May 23. We spent the morning mustering the stores within and without the hut, after a cold night which we passed very comfortably in our bags.
But the kitchen was called dining-room, or even parlour at need; for the cooking-range lent itself to concealment behind an ornamental screen, the walls displayed pictures and bookcases, and a tiny scullery which lay apart sufficed for the coarser domestic operations. This was Amy's territory during the hours when her husband was working, or endeavouring to work.
