Desert came: and by this time, Miss was stock-still with fright, the chevaleer half tipsy with pleasure and gratafied vannaty, my lady puffickly raygent with smiles and master bloo with rage. "Mr. For answer, master seas'd hold of the grayp dish, and sent it sliding down the table to De l'Orge; upsetting, in his way, fruit-plates, glasses, dickanters, and heaven knows what.
They then got out small fruit-plates, and on each they laid first, a small, clean doily, then a finger-bowl with a little water in it, not very much, as it was not intended to swim in, the aunt said, and on the edge of the plate a fruit-knife and an orange spoon. These plates were laid all around the table at the different places.
Of course, when I arose to take away the fruit-plates and bring on the breakfast, the fact that I was servantless came out. To the Philosopher and the Skeptic, who were immediately solicitous, I explained that we should get on very well. "We'll see that you do," promised the Skeptic. "There are a few things I flatter myself I can do as well as the next man or woman. Consider me at your service."
We put it under an apple-tree in the side garden, where the scarlet lightning grows so tall and the Madonna lilies stand so white against the flaming background. We built a little fence around it, and every afternoon at tea-time we sprinkle seeds and crumbs in the dishes, water in the tiny cups, drop a cherry in each of the fruit-plates, and have a the chantant for the birdies.
And then, just as the fruit-plates were put on the table, came a call, and the doctor was out in the hall, "holloing" and conducting with some distant patient one of those mysterious telephonic conversations which to those who overhear seem all replies and no questions.
Put in the cleanest things first, and only a few at a time, so they will not be chipped." "Why do I take the cleanest china first?" Margaret inquired, as she put in the fruit-plates. "Why don't I take them as they happen to come on the table!" "Some plates are greasy and some are not, and the greasy ones would spoil your dish-water," her grandmother explained.
