The nut cracker was shaped like a man's fist, with a hole in the middle of it to put the nut in. Then there was a handle, the end of which, when the handle was turned, was forced into the hollow of the fist by means of a screw cut in the wood, and this would crack the nut. While Rollo was paying for his toys he felt a small hand taking hold of his own, and heard a voice say, in English,
Then she croaked out an English phrase, which she had learned of the children, "Polly wants a cacker." "She shall have a cracker," said good-natured Mr. Bright; and Rosa and little Lila were soon furnished with a cracker and a lump of sugar for Poll. In a short time they were summoned to tea; and after enjoying Mrs.
"Can't I have something to chew at?" "Sure. How'll a cracker soaked in milk soot?" "Cracker!" snarled Ravenslee. "Doctor's orders!" Ravenslee muttered and took up his book. "Helen who, did you say?" enquired Mrs. Trapes, glancing up. "Mr. Geoffrey I mean Ravenslee, I'm surprised at you swearin' ain't good for a invalid; your temperature'll be rose if you swear."

Bucks reached into a paper bag that Bill Dancing had left on the table and gave the dog a cracker. Scuffy snapped up the offering like one starving. A second cracker and a third disappeared at single gulps. For the length of the dog, the size of his mouth appeared enormous.

To have some protection was a necessity; both armies were still in town, and for the past three days every Confederate soldier I see has a cracker in his hand. There is hardly any water in town, no prospect of rain, and the soldiers have emptied one cistern in the yard already and begun on the other. The colonel put a guard at the gate to limit the water given.
Then a nice salad, made of three lettuce leaves and a suspicion of oil, another cracker and a cubic inch of cheese, an ounce of coffee in a miniature cup, and behold, the man is fed!
The black dancing bear had always to be put to bed in a cracker box and covered with a piece of red flannel. One night he looked up gravely as he folded it around his treasure and said, "Robin tucks ze black dancin' bear in bed, an' Big Brother tucks in Robin. Who puts Big Brother to bed?"
A big box of chocolates; a scarlet Christmas cracker; a very flowery mug of thickest china, with "Love the Giver" on it, and tied to the handle a label with "For a Good Little Girl" in the best handwriting of Wally, who evidently considered it not sufficiently adorned by nature; a live frog in a glass-covered box; a huge bundle, which took her many minutes to unwrap, and was finally found to contain a tiny pig of Connemara marble; a Christmas pudding the size of a golf ball; and finally, in the very toe, a minute bottle labelled "Castor Oil; Seasonable at Any Time."
That is the reason, Silvy, why you must never eat Ruth Giant's cake until I have seen it. "Your poor Daddy ate a cracker one day, which was spread with salmon and rat poison. It was the cause of his untimely death. 'Water, water, water! he moaned. Oh, I shall never forget how he suffered! I helped him down to the pond and found a hole in the ice where he could get water.
Now that everybody is seein' that yo' can't make a negro jes' the same as a white man by givin' him a vote, thar's a chance fo' the po' white. I reckon the 'Cracker' as a 'Cracker' is goin' to be extinct pretty soon, an' the South is goin' to be proud o' the stock it once despised.
