Miss Horn had made a little fire in the old fashioned grate, whose bars bellied out like a sail almost beyond the narrow chimney shelf, and a tea kettle was singing on the hob, while a decanter, a sugar basin, a nutmeg grater, and other needful things on a tray, suggested negus, beyond which Miss Horn never went in the matter of stimulants, asserting that, as she had no feelings, she never required anything stronger.
A large sieve for flour is also necessary; and smaller ones for sugar and spice. Spice may be ground in a mill kept, exclusively for that purpose. Every kitchen should be provided with spice-boxes. You should have a large grater for lemon, cocoa-nut, &c., and a small one for nutmeg.
"You and your mousing tricks!" said Grater contemptuously. But Jeremiah only yawned. "There's a cooky jar at home with something in it," he reminded Grater. "Let's go." With a bound Jeremiah and Grater mounted their weary steeds, and in a moment they were out of sight over the tree tops. "Did you ever!" exclaimed Hortense. "I think we'd better go home," Andy suggested.
These bowls, ladles, and the charming little egg-shaped boxes which formerly contained a nutmeg and a tiny grater are household table furnishings of exceptional interest.
The ship was terribly cut up and crippled in her sails and rigging lifts and braces shot away; her stern was literally riddled like a grater, and both large and small shot, in great numbers, had entered her hull and were sticking to her sides. How the officers and crew escaped unhurt is almost impossible to conceive.
Hazel flashed a meaning look to Cora. The girls might not be very badly injured, but they needed help that sort of help. "Well!" exclaimed Cora. "You look as if something did happen." "Oh, I'm all scratched," fluttered Daisy. "That is, my face feels like a grater." She took her handkerchief from the abused face. A few harmless scratches were discernible. "Not so bad," said Jack.
With a desperate but trembling hand, I cleansed from the picture the blood, in which, notwithstanding its distance from the corpse, the grater part of it was bathed. I looked upon the features; they were those of a young and singularly beautiful female.
The comic man is not happy in his married life, nor does it seem to us that he goes the right way to be so. He calls his wife "his old Dutch clock," "the old geyser," and such like terms of endearment, and addresses her with such remarks as "Ah, you old cat," "You ugly old nutmeg grater," "You orangamatang, you!" etc., etc. Well, you know that is not the way to make things pleasant about a house.
"There is a nice trumpet, and here is a tin grater. I think she would like it." "Yes, and I will take it, if it and the trumpet do not cost too much. I must have enough money left for my journey home."
He took up my hand in his burning grasp, and passed it over his own forehead. "Great Lord!" said I. His skin felt like a thin sheet of velvet beneath which lies a close-packed layer of small shot. It was smooth to the touch at any one place, but to a finger passed along it, rough as a nutmeg grater. "It's all right," said he, smiling at my startled face. "I've had the prickly heat nearly as bad."
