Mark the scent of mimosa she likes flowers, and likes them strong. No clock, of course. Examine the bureau she is obviously always ringing for "the drumstick," and saying: "Where's this, Ellen, and where's that? You naughty gairl, you've been tidying." Cast an eye on that pile of manuscript she has evidently a genius for composition; it flows off her pen like Shakespeare, she never blots a line.
"Here's your turkey," pointed out the boy, giving the old man his first spoonful of cereal. "My goodness, did y' ever see such a drumstick! Now another! 'cause, gee! you'll be starved 'fore ever we git t' Niaggery! Mm! but ain't that turkey fine?" "Mm! Mm!" agreed the veteran. "Mister Buckle, I'll take some soda and some popcorn," went on Johnnie, spooning out his own saucer of oatmeal.
If I were to follow my poor Joliet through all his transmigrations and metempsychoses, as I have learned them by his hints, allusions and confessions, I should show him by turns working a rope ferry, where the stupid and indolent cattle, whose business it is to draw men, were drawn by him; then letter-carrier; supernumerary and call-boy in a village theatre; road-mender on a vicinal route; then a beadle, a bell-ringer, and a sub-teacher in an infant school, where he distributed his own ignorance impartially amongst his little patrons at the end of a stick; after this, big drum in the New Year's festivals, and ready at a moment's opportunity to throw down the drumstick and plunge among the dancers, for Joliet was a well-hinged lad, and the blood of nineteen years was tingling in his heels.
There she stayed, passively, till he came back. And then he told her kindly and gravely, that if she could be quite quiet, and firm, she might go and lie on the sofa in her mother's dressing room for the remainder of the night, to be at hand for any needed service. To-morrow he would see that they were otherwise provided. And so, to-night, here was Miss Sampson eating her drumstick.
And plenty, too, said the guests pleasantly. Genevieve hoped there were eggs and bacon for Marie and Lottie and Frieda. "I'm going to ask you for just a mouthful more, it tastes so delicious and homy!" said Alys. "And then I want to talk a little business, George. It's about those houses of mine, out in Kentwood...." George looked at her blankly, over his drumstick.
The bill is stout and the head crested, like the Bob White's; but the feet have little feathers part way down from the drumstick to the toes. The Ruffed Grouse, like the Bob White, belongs to the Birds that Scratch. The American Woodcock Length ten to twelve inches female larger than male. Upper parts variegated with brown, tawny, and black. Under parts plain warm brown.
"I sincerely hope it will be summer at the time," said Sam, laughing; "but we are grateful to you for prophesying that we shall return, even though in such light clothing." "That's what'll happen," continued the captain, regarding the other drumstick with some hesitation; "you may take the word of an old salt for it.
Just as they got downstairs again into the hall, Paul saw the weak-eyed young man who had given that mortal offence to Mrs Pipchin, suddenly seize a very large drumstick, and fly at a gong that was hanging up, as if he had gone mad, or wanted vengeance.
The ancients roasted millet and pieces of pork; they made a hole in the ground and scooped the water from it with their two hands, beating upon an earthen drum with a clay drumstick. Thus they expressed their reverence for spiritual beings. Such frequency is an indication of importunateness; and importunateness is inconsistent with reverence. Nor should they be at distant intervals.
"Didn't I?" replied Kate. "I had one of the drumsticks. That chicken has woke me in a very lusty manner more than once in the morn. 'Up, Up! cries the crowing cock. Oh, Mabel, it was cruel of you to deprive us of his clarion note." "Never mind. I saw that Loftie and Miss Meadowsweet had the breast to eat. I nearly died when I saw you attacking the drumstick, but I knew you wouldn't split.
