At hog killin' time we built a big fiah an put on stones an' when dey git hot we throw 'em in a hogshead dat has watah in it. Den moah hot stones till de watah is jus right for takin' de hair off de hogs, lots of 'em. Salt herrin' fish in barls cum to our place an we put em in watah to soak an den string em on pointed sticks an' hang up to dry so dey wont be so salty.
"An' you want it, too, Fred," said Hobbs. "Dash me, you're as thin as a herrin'. Stop whiskey an' drink beer, like me." "And you might also follow that gentleman's example," interposed Siddle quietly, nodding towards Mr. Franklin. "What's that?" snapped Elkin. "Don't worry about murders." "That's a nice thing to say. Why should I worry about the d -d mix-up?"
"I did think o' asking if Mester Marston here would like to try for some eels up in the long shallows by Popley Watter, for they be theer as thick as herrin', bubblin' up and slithering in the mud." "Let's go, then, Mr Marston. Eel-spearing," cried Dick. "But I could not use an eel-spear," said the young engineer, smiling.
Seems like it ain't skurcely fair for them sportin' men to go out jest for fun; they might leave cod an' herrin' to them what makes a business o' catchin' 'em, seems to me; but there, 'tain't so easy to keep a mortgage on the sea!" and he laughed good-humoredly.
"Aweel, there's Jess Rutherford, a widdy, wi' four bairns, ye meicht do waur than ware your siller on her." "Five pounds to begin?" inquired his lordship. "Five pund! Are ye made o' siller? Ten schell'n!" Saunders was rung for, and produced a one-pound note. "The herrin' is five and saxpence; it's four and saxpence I'm awin ye," said the young fishwife, "and Jess will be a glad woman the neicht."
The golden seal, a "remedy for toothache, headache, sore-throat, sprains, etc., etc.," was served in a diluted state with milk and sugar, and taken as a beverage. The herrin' had destroyed my sense of taste; anything in a liquid state was alike delectable to me, and while I drank, I had a sense of having become somehow mysteriously connected with the book of revelations.
Roller towel on the closet door. Ain't you had water enough for a spell?" "Not fresh water, thank you. I'm caked with salt from head to foot." "Does make a feller feel like a split herrin', if he ain't used to it. Think you can eat anything?" "Can I?" The response was enthusiastic. "You watch me! My last meal was yesterday noon." "Yesterday NOON! Didn't you eat no supper?" "No." "Why not?"
She set down a plate with a spoonful of porridge on it, a cold potato, some bread crusts, and the leavings of a broiled caller herrin'. It was a generous breakfast for so small a dog, but Bobby had been without food for quite forty hours, and had done an amazing amount of work in the meantime. When he had eaten all of it, he was still hungry.
I came straight from the forge just as I left off work to see what you would think of my disguise." "Ye'll do, ye'll do," returned Mrs. Black, with a nod of approval. "Yer face an' hands need mair washin' than my pussie gies her nose! But wheesht! I hear a fit on the stair. It'll be Quentin Dick. I sent him oot for a red herrin' or twa for supper."
Suddenly he roused himself and, bending forward with a quick motion, reached the canteen from under the driver's seat. In the act of unscrewing the cap he was halted by the calm-voice of Texas: "Put that back." "Go to hell wid ye! I'm no sun-dried herrin'."
