He had dropped a bottle of wine to the floor below, and was beseeching some one to bring it up to him. Bill leaned farther out of the box to look, and suddenly the drummer saw him, pointed in his direction with a drumstick, and spoke to a girl leaning near by. She, too, looked up, and then clapped her hands. "There he is!" she called in her high treble voice. "Up there in number five!
Nell's appearance with the two portions of fowl was hailed with uproarious applause in the nursery; Meg was delighted with her share; cut apiece off for Baby, and the meal went on merrily. "Where's Bunty?", said Nell, pausing suddenly with a very clean drumstick in her fingers, "because I HOPE he hasn't gone too; someway I don't think Father was very pleased, especially as that man was there."
Of course she had to answer when asked why she wasn't eating her drumstick, and whether the green apples in grandma's orchard had given her an "upset," and other direct questions; but when she could, she kept silent. She was glad Pete didn't talk to her much. Yet, now and then, she caught his eyes upon her in a look of sardonic enquiry, and quickly averted her own.
Sitting under a pine-tree, in the wild wilderness that lies to the north of Canada with the drumstick of a goose in one hand and a scalping-knife in the other; with a log-fire in front of him, and his son, a stripling of sixteen, by his side, he delivered himself of the following sentiments:
"Help you'self, Massa Nadgel, an' pass 'im forid." Without helping himself he passed it on to Van der Kemp, who drew his knife, sliced off a wing with a mass of breast, and returned the rest. "Always help yourself before passing the food in future," said the hermit; "we don't stand on ceremony here." Nigel at once fell in with their custom, tore off the remaining drumstick and began.
"Ay," quoth he, laughing, "and would that she had got more of it for treating that darling, sweet, beautiful Sidonia no better than a kitchen wench. Where is the old hag now? I will teach her the catechism with my drumstick, I warrant you."
It was near enough like parchment that had been beaten with many a drumstick. She was used to the child's vehemence. "I wish he were this great general! Pani, did you ever see a king?" "I have seen great chiefs in grand array. I saw Pontiac " "Pouf!" with a gesture that made her seem taller.
They're always in the way. Get out the biscuit now. My ptarmigan is ready. At least, if it isn't, I can't wait." "Neither can I, Jack. I sometimes wish that it were natural to us to eat things raw. It would be so very convenient and save sh -a lot of time." Hunger and a wrenched-off drumstick checked further utterance!
He hacked off the bird's head and neck; and after slicing off a portion of the meat, added the drumstick to Bruff's share. He then began eating voraciously, giving his messmates a version of their "adventers," as he called them, since the morning. Billy would have made a splendid writer of fiction a most exciting narrator, for he forgot nothing, and he added thereto in a wonderful manner.
Feelings of a somewhat similar kind animated Nigel as he sat leaning back with his mouth full, a biscuit in one hand, and a drumstick in the other, and his eyes resting dreamily on the horizon of the still tranquil sea, while the bright sun blazed upon his already bronzed face.
