The tripe de roche, with some snow for there was no water near was put into the pot, and the latter hung over the blaze. After boiling for nearly an hour, the lichen became reduced to a soft gummy pulp, and Norman thickened the mess to his taste by putting in more snow, or more of the "tripe," as it seemed to require it.
"I'll see her face all right," declared Gummy, starting off. "I'll tell you just where she goes and what she looks like. Don't you girls go home without me." He was gone on the track of the flying woman like a dart. He was out of sight, being in dark garments, before Stella came back from the kitchen door. "Don't tell her about Gummy," whispered Amy quickly.
Good night, Nal." She ran swiftly away, holding high her skirts on account of the sticker grass. Nal watched her retreating figure admiringly. "A good gait," he murmured critically, "no interferin' an' nothin' gummy about the pastern!" He then squatted down, cowboy fashion, upon his hams, and smoothing carefully a piece of level ground, began to what he called "figger."
Amy declared, shaking her head. "Give me an apron, Janice. I am going to peel those potatoes and that turnip. Potatoes and turnip mashed together makes a nice dish. And Gummy can't really give up his name." "'Gumswith'! It's awful," murmured Janice. "How ever " "Well I'll tell you. Poor dear father had a half-brother who was lots older than he.
Allen's celebrated preparation, each of them asserting, on its word of honor as a bottle, that its former contents were "not a dye," were all that was left to us of the Koh-i-noor. From this time forward, the landlady's daughter manifested a decided improvement in her style of carrying herself before the boarders. She abolished the odious little flat, gummy side-curl.
"Oh, Erebus, you do have gummy friends! I thought we should never get rid of him. I thought he'd stuck himself to us for the rest of our natural lives." Mrs. Dangerfield smiled; and the Terror said in a tone of deep meaning: "That's what he's up to." "He's not a friend of mine!" cried Erebus hotly. "We call him the Cruncher because of his teeth," said the Terror. "Then beware, Erebus beware!
Janice, with natural tact, thought this was no time to probe deeper into the financial affairs of the Carringfords. She saw Gummy, who was a year older than Amy, in the yard. He had got home from school first, and he stared when he saw Janice. "Hullo, Gummy!" the latter called to the boy with the patched trousers. "What are you doing there? Are you laying sod for a border to that garden-bed?"
But let the Banded Epeira, deprived of her web, come upon that of one of her kind or of the Silky Epeira, who works her gummy twine in the same manner: then discretion is thrown to the winds; the owner is fiercely ripped open and possession taken of the property. Might is right, says the beast; or, rather, it knows no right.
It was better than sand for such a purpose, for salt is damp and seems to possess smothering qualities all its own when rained upon the flames. Before half the contents of the bag had been thrown down the chimney the flames no longer leaped above its top. The smoke continued to roll up, and Gummy had pretty well smothered it himself when the Fire Department apparatus came clanging up to the house.
"You strought to see that Stout man, anyway " "Oh, dear, me, Gummy, there you go again!" gasped Janice, with laughter, while the boy's sister giggled desperately, too. "What's the matter now?" he demanded, in some surprise. "Another lapsus linguae I looked it up, and that is what they call it," said Janice. "Say! Why don't you talk so people can understand you?" Gummy demanded.
