"Just what I thought," replied Boylston; "pity he couldn't hev lasted long enough for us to hev asked him. But I've been a-workin' some sums about different kinds of cans I learned how from Phipps, this afternoon he's been to college, an' his head's cram-full of sech puzzlin' things.
The majority are bitter and acrid, some merely insipid, and of the various nuts not one is satisfactory. Why all this profuse vegetation and the anomaly of tempting fruits and nuts cram-full of meat and yet no real food that is, food for man? Is it that man was an after-thought of Nature, or did Nature fulfil herself in his splendid purpose and capacities?
My eye much sooner affects, and much more powerfully affects, my heart than my ear ever does. Not only is my eye by very much the shortest road to my heart, but, like all other short roads, it is cram-full of all kinds of traffic when my ear stands altogether empty.
"I am afraid to-night it's going to be rather a difficult job." "I always feared it would be," Hunterleys agreed. "Frenhofer tells me," Roche continued, "that for some reason or other their suspicions have been aroused up there. They are all on edge. You know, the house is cram-full of men-servants and there are to be a dozen of them on duty in the grounds.
Whin we get the bill every man can take a shpade, an', begorra! can dig what he wants. The Phaynix Park is all cram-full o' coal that the Castle folks won't allow us to dig, bad scran to them! Whin we get the bill we'll sink them mines an' send the Castle to blazes." The coal under the Phoenix Park is a matter of pious belief with every back-slum Dubliner.
An' when I see'd the book open upo' the stall, wi' the lady lookin' out of it wi' eyes a bit like your'n when you was frettin', you'll excuse my takin' the liberty, Miss, I thought I'd make free to buy it for you, an' then I bought the books full o' genelmen to match; an' then" here Bob took up the small stringed packet of books "I thought you might like a bit more print as well as the picturs, an' I got these for a sayso, they're cram-full o' print, an' I thought they'd do no harm comin' along wi' these bettermost books.
A crowd still loitered around, and among it I noted several men and women in black ugly stains upon the pervading sunshine. The station platform was cram-full as we drew up, and it was clear at once that all the carriages in the train would be besieged, without regard to class. By some chance, however, ours was neglected, and until the very last moment we seemed likely to escape.
As thus: Kill and dress quickly a fine yearling wether, in prime condition but not over-fat, sluice out with cool water, wipe dry inside and out with a soft, damp cloth, then while still hot, fill the carcass cram-full of fresh mint, the tenderer and more lush the better, close it, wrap tight in a clean cloth wrung very dry from cold salt water, then pop all into a clean, bright tin lard stand, with a tight-fitting top, put on top securely, and sink the stand head over ears in cold water a spring if possible.
'Twas a pretty day, and there wa'n't hardly a boat on the coast within twenty miles that didn't head for Shell-heap cram-full o' folks an' all real respectful, same's if she'd always stayed ashore and held her friends. Some went out o' mere curiosity, I don't doubt, there's always such to every funeral; but most had real feelin', and went purpose to show it.
