"I likes to keep it jist on the sizzle," he said in explanation to himself; "hard bilin' makes it tough I'll keep it jist a-simmerin'." Here his soliloquy was interrupted by the return of the dog. "All right, Five Bob," said the hatter, "dinner'll be ready dreckly. Jist keep yer eye on the sheep till I calls yer; keep 'em well rounded up, an' we'll yard 'em afterwards and have a holiday."
She hardly knew what she feared or expected; but her relief was great when he bade her a quiet but cheerful "Good-day!" and crossing the room, sat down in his great leather arm-chair. "Dinner'll be ready in five minutes, Jacob!" said the good dame, cheerily; "I've only to lay the table and dish the mutton."
Then I shall dive downstairs and discover the kitchen. They say they've got a cook, and the dinner'll soon be ready. Isn't that lovely? And I'm sure the cart'll be here directly. It's the most beautiful place I ever saw in my life! said Lucy, clasping her hands a moment in a gesture familiar to her, and turning towards the great prospect of mountain, wood, and river.
The dialogue was interrupted by a sledge-hammer-like blow on Sponge's back, followed by such a proffered hand as could proceed from none but his host. 'Glad to see ye! exclaimed Facey, swinging Sponge's arm to and fro. 'Get off! continued he, half dragging him down, 'and let's go in; for it's beastly cold, and dinner'll be ready in no time!
"Hours and hours ago," answered Mary; "dinner'll be up in two minutes. But I wouldn't say much for the potatoes, sir. When a gentleman's irreg'lar, it's hard laws on the poor servants nothink will keep, going on for two hours, and not take no harm; but all's quiet and comfortable in your room."
Dinner'll come on after a while; it's mos' ready." Patty went back to the parlour, laughing. "If anybody can hurry up Mancy," she said, "they're welcome to try it. I didn't realise it was so late, and I'm awfully sorry; but I guess we'll have dinner pretty soon, now." "Don't be sorry we're going to have it soon," said Frank; "none of the rest of us are, I assure you."
"Dear me, Sam, is that you?" she cried out in a voice closely resembling his in its cheery accents, although more musical by reason of its feminine ring; "I'm just dishing up, and dinner'll be ready as soon as the pasty's done." Her brother did not apparently pay any attention to this highly important announcement for the moment. "Come here, Jane," he said, "I've brought home a visitor."
It's been in my head for some time. How often do you come here?" "Once a month." "That's my game exactly. I'm a clerk on a small salary; but I must have one good dinner a month, if I don't have my hair cut. Now, suppose we dine together. One portion's enough for two, and the same dinner'll only cost each of us half what it does now. See?" Andrew did not take kindly to Mr.
Dinner'll be ready at half-past twelve. When, school's opened, it will be a few minutes earlier, so you'll have plenty of time to eat and get back. Dick, as soon as your examination's over, I want you to come right back here, so I can finish making my arrangement with you." "Yes, ma'am. I will return at once."
Turn out this fellow! do you hear me?" and he broke away from me, and flung into his study in a rage. "He's an ojous horrid monsther of a man, that husband of yours!" said Lady Drum, seizing hold of her elder grand-daughter's arm, "and I hate him; and so come away, for the dinner'll be getting cold:" and she was for hurrying away Lady Jane without more ado.
