It's to be handed over solid to you. The signorina and I take the leavings. You don't claim to share them too, do you?" "No," I said, "I'm content to be a preference shareholder. If the money's found at the Golden House, it's mine. If not, the new Government, whatever it may do as to the rest of the debt, will pay me that sum." With that I pushed my money over to the colonel.
Never has she heard the cry of the chit-chat, the voice of her husband, the babble of her child. 'She lives in the White Silence. Cared the Wolves aught for her? No! Theirs is the choice of the kill; ours is the leavings. 'Brothers, it shall not be! No more shall the Wolves slink among our campfires.
"I know I am deathless. I know that this orbit of mine cannot be swept by a carpenter's compass; And whether I come to my own to-day, or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now or with equal cheerfulness can wait." "As to you, Life, I reckon you are the leavings of many deaths. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before."
As only two of them had even a pretence of juice, I threw the other four under the cars, and beheld, as in a dream, grown people and children groping on the track after my leavings. At last we were admitted into the cars, utterly dejected, and far from dry.
The bread leavings, vegetable leaves and fruit cores were reserved for the feed of the pigs and hens, and what was of no use at all was cast into the rotting-place, converted into manure and sold to the orchards near the river. On the first Sunday that Manuel spent there, Senor Custodio and his wife took the afternoon off.
My round in the morning generally sees me through except for emergencies, births and deaths, and so on. You see, my predecessor, poor Christian Evans, never had more than the leavings, and that's all I've got. I believe the real doctor, the old-established one, Dr. Irechester, was angry at first with Dr. Evans for coming; he didn't want a rival.
"But she has been! you have loved her at some time or other! and she is now living on the scraps and leavings of former affection. I am never deceived, Chevalier!" continued she, glancing down at him, a wild light playing under her long eyelashes like the illumined under-edge of a thundercloud. "But how in St. Picot's name did you arrive at all this knowledge, Mademoiselle?"
Nay, he went farther than the actual conspirators, in words at least; it is curious to find him so careful to disclaim complicity in the act. "Would that you had invited me to that banquet on the Ides of March! there would then have been no leavings from the feast", he writes to Cassius. He would have had their daggers turned on Antony, at all events, as well as on Caesar.
As the years passed over him, he grew feeble and his force failed him, so that he was often famished; but his cunning waxed stronger with the waning of his strength and redoubled in his endeavour and determined to be present at the general assembly of the birds, that he might eat of their orts and leavings; so in this manner he fed by fraud instead of feeding by fierceness and force.
Never before had the starved soul of him fed, all his life, when it was fed at all, from the drippings of the flesh-pots and the "leavings" of the City found any savour in the insipid offerings of the Country; never before had he known what charms lie on a river's breast, what spells of magic a blossoming hedge and the white "candles" of a horse-chestnut tree may weave, and never before had a meadow been anything to him but a simple grass-grown field.
