Was he good or bad, ragged or neat, honest or a thief, not a deserting sailor or a homeless lad, halting at the cottage, but was fed from the girl's private larder behind the straw beehives among the sweet lavender and the gooseberry-bushes. No matter how rough the vagrant, the sincerity and pure impulse of the child seemed to throw round him a sunshine of decency and respect.
And his friend spread out the contents of his larder again, and then leaned over the table and said, "Come and try it once and see how you like it!" And Samuel clenched his hands suddenly and answered "All right, I'll try it!" Then he started upon a meal. But in the middle of it he stopped, and set down an untasted cracker, and gasped within himself "Merciful Heaven!
The hidden Joe, bound for piracy on the high seas, or a Crusoe's island somewhere, gave a wonderful zest to Master Richard's meal But an hour, which seemed like a year to the less fortunate of the two, went by before a raid upon the well-furnished larder of Perry Hall could be effected.
But a creel of gamey trout from Squaw Pond would come in handy now to replenish our larder." "Wal, I b'lieve I'll fix up a rod to-mo-oh an' hook a few, fer de pork's givin' out. Hain't got mich use fer trout meself. Pork's a sight better'n 'em to my mind."
Mehevi, it seemed, was bent on replenishing old Marheyo’s larder, fearful, perhaps, that without this precaution his guests might not fare as well as they could desire. As soon as I descended from the pi-pi, the procession formed anew, enclosing us in its centre; where I remained, part of the time carried by Kory-Kory, and occasionally relieving him from his burden by limping along with a spear.
An open door showed a larder stocked with all kinds of provisions, and before the fire joints of meat and poultry were roasting. Pies were baking in the oven; and over the flames, in the chimney, was suspended a black pot large enough for a witch's caldron.
"After dinner I thought I'd go down to the creek and try my luck it was a perfect day for fishing, still and grey. So I dug some worms and broke my spade in doing so and started off. "The promise of the day held good. I went to my favourite spot, and the fish just rushed me the worms must have been very tempting, or else the fish larder was scantily supplied.
Long before these spent themselves Kuroki appeared on the threshold. He bobbed. "Kuroki, Miss Conover is dining here with me to-night. Seven o'clock sharp. The best you have in the larder." "Yes, sair. You are going out, sair?" "For a bit of fresh air." "And I am going with him, Kuroki," said Kitty. Kuroki bobbed again. "Dinner at seven, sair." Another bob, and he returned to the kitchen, smiling.
All except Mr. Jones, who said he would go down the road for a drink of lemonade. William said that there was lemonade in the larder and offered to fetch it, but Mr. Jones said hastily that he wanted a special sort. He had to be very particular what sort of lemonade he drank. Mrs. Brown and Ethel sat down to a scratch meal in the library.
Greatly to my delight I found that it was perfectly fresh; and probably, had we approached the mound more cautiously, we might have found the parent birds in the neighbourhood, for it was evident that the eggs could only just have been laid. As may be supposed, we made a hearty supper. On examining our larder, we found that the flesh of the cuscus was still perfectly fresh.
