They were eager to know all the country was keen-set to know eye-witnesses of events were duly appreciated. The scout had been at McDowell? "Yes, but not in the battle, the Stonewall Brigade not being engaged. 12th Georgia did best and the 44th Virginia. 12th Georgia held the crest. 'We didn't come all this way to hide from Yankees, he cried, and he rushed out and down upon them poor fellow!"
They talked merrily while Manasseh brought in the breakfast dishes for Master Dicky bread-and-milk followed by a simple steak of cod; a bewildering succession of chowder, omelet, devilled kidneys, cold ham, game pie, and fruit for the Collector, who professed himself keen-set as a hunter, and washed down the viands with a tankard of cider.
"I don't feel altogether so keen-set as I did five minutes back," muttered Billy Priske.

What are you lying-by for, sir? go to your pantry and remember that the gale is broken, and we shall all sit down to table this morning, as keen-set as a party of your brethren ashore here, who had a broiled baby for breakfast." Saunders, who ex-officio might be said to be trained in similar lectures, went pouting to his work, taking care to expend a proper part of his spleen on Mr.

"I don't want any today, thank you, Mrs. Black," was his reply. "You ain't sick?"
Bell did not say a word in reply, but Sylvia tapped his shoulder with a pretty little authoritative air. 'It's for me, feyther. I'm just keen-set for my supper.
