With humiliation I realized that I was now turning red; but I laughed, and said: "We look like a couple of boiled lobsters, Hilda. What did I say about the lady?" "You said I only thought you ought to know that I know so's well so's you can keep that window shut, and fix it so no one else will know." I felt like a convicted criminal. "Did I mention the lady's name?" She nodded.
'It must be a very pretty dance, said Alice timidly. 'Would you like to see a little of it? said the Mock Turtle. 'Very much indeed, said Alice. 'Come, let's try the first figure! said the Mock Turtle to the Gryphon. 'We can do without lobsters, you know. Which shall sing? 'Oh, YOU sing, said the Gryphon. 'I've forgotten the words.
As for lobsters, "they were becomin' a winter fish, somehow, and up the harbours you started catchin' 'em at Christmas and lost 'em by Eastertide:" while the ordinary crabbing-grounds appeared to be clean bewitched. One theorist loudly called for a massacre of sea-birds, especially shags and gannets.
At day-break on the 1st of November, we counted no less than five-and-forty canoes that were coming from the shore towards the ship: Seven of them came up with us, and after some conversation with Tupia, sold us some lobsters and muscles, and two conger eels.
He said very determinedly that it was a point of honour among lobsters. And now happened to Tom a most wonderful thing; for he had not left the lobster five minutes before he came upon a water baby. A real, live water baby, sitting on the white sand, very busy about a little point of rock. And when it saw Tom it looked up for a moment and then cried, "Why, you are not one of us.
She was very fond of workin' in the garden ashore, and that first summer she began to till the little field out there, and raised a nice parcel o' potatoes. She could fish, o' course, and there was all her clams an' lobsters. You can always live well in any wild place by the sea when you'd starve to death up country, except 'twas berry time.
When a large family of children are expecting a parent's return from an entertainment, it will often require great exertions on his part to freight himself so as to meet their reasonable expectations. A few rules are worth remembering by all who attend anniversary dinners in Faneuil Hall or elsewhere. Thus: Lobsters' claws are always acceptable to children of all ages.
A friend of mine started out from Halifax with ten thousand pounds of Cape Breton lobsters. He got caught in a gale of wind and lost forty-seven hundred pounds before he landed in Boston. Some years ago a Maine dealer put one hundred and five thousand lobsters in a pound during May and June; he fed them chiefly on herring, and the total cost was over ten thousand dollars.
Still and all, it's a good trade; and we do sell lobsters and crayfish every week in the season to a boat from England or a boat from France that does come in here, as you'll maybe see before you go. I told them that I had often been in France, and one of the boys began counting up the numerals in French to show what he had learnt from their buyers.
They seem to care as little for mutilation as lobsters or lizards, which at least have the excuse that they grow new claws and new tails if they lose the old ones. Whilst this book was being prepared for the press a case was tried in the Courts, of a man who sued a railway company for damages because a train had run over him and amputated both his legs.
