"'Oh, no, sir; master's very careful of his cellar, sir. "The waiter went away impressed with the idea that he had to deal with a couple of connoisseurs.
Cover tightly, and boil five minutes; then pour out a cupful to free the spout from grounds, and return this to the pot. Let it stand a few minutes to settle, and serve with boiled milk, and cream if it is to be had. Never for appearance's sake decant coffee.
John Porter was young, handsome, and the tenant of the best farm in the parish o' Dalgarno; but he was nae frien to the vile curate, and a marked bird, as they ca' it, by Grierson o' Lag, in particular, who had been heard to say, that he would decant his porter for him some day yet, in the shape and colour of heart's bluid.
He was in such a hurry, though really I did not ask him to stay. Was that impolite?" "No under the circumstances." She cleared her throat a little, but the lecture on propriety would not materialize. "'Dear little Doris. Think of that wouldn't Cary be surprised to see how much I have grown! May I sit here?" Miss Recompense was about to decant some of her preparations.
All the darky's training came into play when his master was giving a dinner: what Madeira to decant, and what to leave in its jacket of dust, with its waistcoat of a label unlaundered for half a century; the temperature of the claret; the exact angle at which the Burgundy must be tilted and when it was to be opened and how especially the "how" the disturbing of a single grain of sediment being a capital offence; the final brandies, particularly that old Peach Brandy hidden in Tom Coston's father's cellar during the war of 1812, and sent to that gentleman as an especial "mark of my appreciation to my dear friend and kinsman, St.

An immediate lull followed, through which as instantly came strange sounds, as of a distant staccato thunder.
If we allow that Emerson is not a born singer, that he is a careless versifier and rhymer, we must still recognize that there is something in his verse which belongs, indissolubly, sacredly, to his thought. Who would decant the wine of his poetry from its quaint and antique-looking lagena?
But women decant their affection, sweet and sound, out of the old bottles into the new ones, off from the lees of the past generation, clear and bright, into the clean vessels just made ready to receive it. Gifted Hopkins was his mother's idol, and no wonder.
