Even though he was in the same house, it seemed as if there was always some one else calling or mealing, or taking tea, or playing tennis or playing billiards, or merely dropping in. And then Leonore took fewer and fewer meals at home, and spent fewer and fewer hours there. One day Peter had to translate those despatches all by himself!
When Major Powell landed there on his first trip down the Colorado River in 1869, he found broken pottery, an old "matate" and many chipped flints, indicating that this had been the home of an arrowmaker. The mealing stone, or matate, can be seen at Phantom Ranch, half a mile on along the trail.
"Ogden and Rivington have been very good in yielding to my idiosyncracies. This is my mealing closet." It was a room nine feet square, panelled, ceiled and floored in mahogany, and the table and six chairs were made of the same material. "So this is what the papers call the 'Stirling political incubator? It doesn't look like a place for hatching dark plots," said Watts.
It so happened that both had dined excellently, and were looking on the world with a sort of cosy benevolence. They were in the mood when men pat small boys on the head and ask them if they mean to be President when they grow up. 'I called up Archie Mealing today, said McCay. 'Did you know he was engaged? 'I did hear something about it. Girl of the name of Wilson, or 'Milsom.
Metates, or flat stones for grinding corn, were dug up in several houses; they were in some instances much worn, and were eagerly sought by the Indian women who visited our camp. These specimens differ in no respect from similar mealing stones still used at Walpi and other modern Tusayan pueblos.
Such constant mealing did not seem natural, and the obtuse brain of this lowly servant-girl was perplexed. Her self-respect was wounded; she hated her position in this house, and sought consolation in the thought that she was earning good money for her baby. She noticed, too, that she never was allowed out alone, and that her walks were limited to just sufficient exercise to keep her in health.
In every pueblo house, a "battery" of these mealing stones is to be found, and it is one of the commonest of sights to find the women and girls on their knees, with the grinder in hands, rubbing it briskly up and down with the swing of the body, while every few moments, with a deft movement of the hand, the grain is thrown between the grinder and the stone beneath.
But I understand you. You must let me carry your clubs. 'It's very good of you, said Gossett. 'Not at all, said Sigsbee. Archibald was now preparing to drive off from the first tee. He did this with great care. Everyone who has seen Archibald Mealing play golf knows that his teeing off is one of the most impressive sights ever witnessed on the links.
Again we find mealing stones, and much broken pottery, and up in a little natural shelf in the rock, back of the ruins, we find a globular basket, that would hold perhaps a third of a bushel. It is badly broken, and, as I attempt to take it up, it falls to pieces. There are many beautiful flint-chips, as if this had been the home of an old arrow-maker. August 21.
Archibald was on the floor of his bedroom one afternoon, picking up the fragments of his mirror a friend had advised him to practise the Walter J. Travis lofting shot when the telephone bell rang. He took up the receiver, and was hailed by the comfortable voice of McCay, the club secretary. 'Is that Mealing? asked McCay. 'Say, Archie, I'm putting your name down for our championship competition.
