Can you see the picture, Searcy on a log, gobbler between his knees, left forefinger and thumb prying open the gobbler's mouth, while the balance of his left hand kept the neck straight up; right hand rolling up enormous bread pills and forcing them into the gobbler's mouth, and manipulating them down to the craw. Henry Donoho holding the bread pan assisting in rolling the pills.
"Come, now, Donald," she said, "let's break the old gobbler's wishbone." "All right," replied Donald, opening his eyes slowly, and unwrapping the draperies of his sweet plum-pudding dreams from about him, "let's do it now." So he held up the wishbone, and Grace took hold of the other end of it with a merry laugh.
"So keep your weather eye piped, sweetness and leave the rest to your Adoring 'Boy'" By the time the Empress reached the last word of that missive her face had assumed the color of a gobbler's wattles, and her eyes were blazing. Eleanor was nearly frightened to death at the Genius of Wrath which she had invoked. "To whom does this nauseating thing belong?"
"Make him eat a lot of yellow beads," said the chorus. "But we have no beads," said the gobbler sadly. "Then let's poke him with a stick," suggested the gobbler's Granduncle Sylvester; "he used to do that to us." So they all took up their wishbones and poked Donald until he was sore.
I suppose what ma sends will be my share of Christmas in New Orleans. Our turkeys look droopy, and there is no telling when they will peg out. We keep the gobbler's spirits up by making him fight. The camp is full of turkeys, and we make ours fight every day. I have plenty of clothes and socks: I have over half a dozen of woollen socks. "The Gopher Mess send their best regards.
He had tripped over a rope that connected with a spring gun, which was discharged, and some of the shot tore through his coat sleeve. Then he heard the dog, and he knew he was in for a hot time. He gave the old gobbler's neck a fierce wring, then dropped the turkey just in time to meet the dog.
This way and that they tugged and tussled, getting off occasional scraps, but really hindering each other feeding, till Tito glided in and deftly cut the Turkey into three or four, when each dashed off with a prize, over which he sat and chewed and smacked his lips and jammed his head down sideways to bring the backmost teeth to bear, while the baby runt scrambled into the home den, carrying in triumph his share the Gobbler's grotesque head and neck.
"Joyce is nearly as bad!" cried Eugenia; "both hair ribbons gone, the heel lost off one shoe, grass stains on her dress, and her face red as a turkey gobbler's, from running so fast." "Where have you all been, and what have you been doing?" demanded Mrs. Sherman so emphatically that, with much giggling and exclaiming, they all began to talk at once.
Seems they got an offer for him and Doble wants to sell. Miller he says no." "Yes?" "I'll tell 'em a friend asked for 'em. What name?" "Yes, do. Jim Smith." "The fat old gobbler's liable to drop in any time now." This seemed a good reason to Mr. Jim Smith, alias David Sanders, for dropping out. He did not care to have Miller know just yet who the kind friend was that had inquired for him.
Up and up they went, and spreading as they rose, until there was a wonderful great circle of them back of his body and reaching far above his head. The Gobbler's spread tail looked as small beside this as a Dove's egg would beside that of a Goose. "Paon!" said the Peacock. "I am no Turkey Gobbler. I am a Peacock." "Pffff!" said the Gobbler. Then he turned to the Hen Turkeys.
