Sometimes the rain beat down upon the decked over portion of the boat with the sound of a drumstick beaten upon taut calfskin. Again the wind blew in such sharp gusts that the rain seemed to be swept over the face of the sea and then, if I chanced to glance over my shoulder, the drops stung like hail.
The bill is stout for crushing seeds, the head has a slight crest, and the feet have no feathers on the scaly part that goes from the drumstick down to the roots of the toes. The Ruffed Grouse Length about seventeen inches.
What par-r-rt of the bir-r-d will ye have, Aloysius?" "A drumstick," announced Aloysius. "A drumstick it is polish that now, ye spalpane, and polish it well. And Alice, me dear, phat will youse hev?" pursued Mr. Murphy. "I'll take a leg, too, Mr. Murphy," said the oldest Roach girl. "Quite right. Iv'ry par-r-rt stringthens a par-r-rt an' 'tis a spindle-shanks I notice ye air, Alice.
They spake not a single word except that once the prince took a turkey drumstick from between his teeth to look up and repeat, "All well at home, you say?" To which Beniah, checking the course of a great wooden spoon to his lips, replied, "All well."
"And so very beautiful!" he continued. "Oh!" said she, and this time she did not look at him. "Say," quoth Spike, "I think I could go another drumstick, Geoff." "And in the second place, he is so unworthy and she so " "An' a bit more stuflin', Geoff," sighed Spike. "Can she help him?" enquired Hermione, stirring her tea absently. "She is the only one who can help me."
The leg must be removed in the same manner in the direction 2, 3, and the thigh, which is by many considered the best part, must be separated from the inferior drumstick. The merry-thought may be removed by raising it a little from the neck, and then passing the knife beneath, and the delicate neck-bones are taken off the same way. The rump is looked on by epicures as a dainty.
"You rascal!" sang out one, "take dat; larn you for teal my wittal!" then a sharp crack, as if he had smote the culprit across the pate; whereupon, like a shot, a black fellow, in a handsome livery, trundled down, pursued by another servant with a large silver ladle in his hand, with which he was belabouring the fugitive over his flint-hard skull, right against our hostess, with the drumstick of a turkey in his hand, or rather in his mouth.
The thigh is good; the pinion and drumstick are usually tough, and reserved till the last; the side or neck-bones are delicate; also the small round piece of flesh on each side of the centre of the back called the oyster. Beyond these the turkey requires no more carving.
"Well, that's easy," he said after wiping his eyes. "Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving and you shall dine with me. And after dinner I'll give you a magic knife and if you can't make a whistle out of the drumstick bone, I'll have another portrait made of my mother-in-law." "That's very good of you," said little Mary Louise. "Don't mention it," replied the giant.
Frank was disappointed. The veteran gave him his first exercise on a board! "I thought I was to learn on a drum," he ventured to suggest, looking up, not without awe, at the bushy mustache. "You don't want a drum till you know how to drum," said the veteran. "But I should think it would be better " "Wait!" lifting his drumstick. "Do you understand what we are here for?"
