Under her father's directions and under his more drastic modes of encouragement, the little girl was of much help to him in his doily toil. Twice, the Master had caught him punishing her for undue slowness in carrying out some duty too heavy for her frail strength. On both times he had stopped the brutal treatment.
Peggy brought the great pink and gray blanket which had been Margaret's friend and companion for several months, and with it her own diminutive piece of work, a doily that she was supposed to be embroidering. Rita lay watching them with bright eyes, her eyebrows still nearer together than was desirable. At last, "Well," she said again.
The toss-up was rushed through and the two teams lined up, our team with the ball. It would have done your eyes good to see Rearick adjust it carefully on a small doily in the exact center of the field, mince up to it and kick it like an old lady urging a setting hen off the nest. A Kiowa halfback caught it and started up the field.
I called, putting down Miss Patty's doily and following him to the door; "good-by; better have something before you start to keep you warm." He turned at the corner of the path and grinned back at me. "All right," he called. "I'll go down to the bar and get a lettuce sandwich!" Then he was gone, and happy as I was, I knew I would miss him terribly.
For six lemons take one box of boneless sardines, six anchovies, and two green peppers, cut very fine. Wet with lemon-juice until moist; fill in shells after wiping dry; insert a pimento on top; put on cover of lemon; serve on doily with horseradish and watercress. Serve on a folded napkin, garnished with watercress. Shell and skin freshly roasted peanuts and proceed as in salting almonds.
A pincushion all over lace and pin ribbons, or something like that." "That will be lovely," said Laura. "I shall embroider her a tablecloth." "You'll never finish it," said Patty, who well knew how soon Laura's bursts of enthusiasm spent themselves. "You'd better decide on a doily. Better a doily done than a tablecloth but begun." "Oh, I'll tell you-what we can do, girls," said Polly Stevens.
Beagle pressed upon him a plate with a small doily, embroidered with the arms of the store, and its motto je maintiendrai referring, no doubt, to its prices. Mr. Beagle then introduced him to several more ladies in rapid succession. Gissing passed along the line, bowing slightly but with courteous interest to each.
Sitting on my folding-chair beside the stove, with a cup of tea in my hand and a plate of beans on a doily on a packing-box beside me, I was entirely comfortable. Through the glasses I could see the red-haired man on the other shore sitting on a rock, with his head in his hands; but Mr. McDonald had clearly located on the other side of his island and was not in sight.
At my father's place lay the Sabbath loaf, covered over with a crocheted doily; and beside it stood the wine flask and kiddush cup of gold or silver.
The ice cream mold is passed with the mold already cut, but retaining its shape, to facilitate the guest's helping himself. Together with the ice cream, the accompanying small cakes are passed. The appearance of the finger bowl service follows the removal of the dessert plates. The dessert plate is removed with the left hand, the plate, finger bowl, and doily served with the left.
