We nearly missed the train owing to the late arrival of Salemina at the Kingsbridge station. She had been buying malted milk, Mellin's Food, an alcohol lamp, a tin cup, and getting all the doctor's prescriptions renewed. We intended, too, to go second or third class now an then, in order to study the humours of the natives, but of course we went 'first' on this occasion on account of Benella.
He sourly brought them down. They were Mellin's Food for Infants, and we bought six at half a crown each; also some mixed herbs, and essence of vanilla.
Across the table Madame de Vaurigard's eyes met Mellin's with a mocking intelligence so complete that he caught her message without need of the words she noiselessly formed with her lips: "I tol' you you would be making love to her!" He laughed joyously in answer. Why shouldn't he flirt with Lady Mount-Rhyswicke?
And with that young Cooley was gone. IX. Expiation A multitudinous clangor of bells and a dozen neighboring chimes rang noon; then the rectangular oblongs of hot sunlight that fell from the windows upon the carpet of Mellin's room began imperceptibly to shift their angles and move eastward.
"Look at them two cooing doves over there," he said reproachfully, a jerk of his bulbous thumb indicating Madame de Vaurigard and her young protege. "Madge, can't you do nothin' fer our friend the Indian? Can't you even help him to sody?" "Oh, perhaps," she answered with the slightest flash from her tired eyes. Then she nonchalantly lifted Mellin's replenished glass from the table and drained it.

They had made the fire with the covers of "Mellin's Food" boxes Mellin's Food a fine chap, Mellin Mellin? Wasn't that the name of the captain with whom he had once sailed to Baltimore?
Beginning with fresh cow's milk for a week, their diet may be gradually increased to Mellin's or Benger's food, and later to gruel and Quaker Oats, their steadily increasing appetites being catered for by the simple exercise of commonsense.
I feed him on Mellin's food.... My stepfather says that the day I speak to the baby's father I will lose the home I have. All that the baby has I work good and hard to get. What he and I need, I earn honestly. I take in washing from the boarders at the two hotels, also sewing and ironing, or go out to do housework whenever I can. I must close, as I must help mama to get the supper.
Mellin has pull with Congress, enough to start an investigation." "Let them investigate!" cried Jim. "I'd like them to see what I call some darn good engineering! I do think you got soaked on some of the contract work, though. Those permanent caretakers' houses could have been built for half the price." Freet raised his eyebrows. "Put the canal through Mellin's place, Manning." Jim flushed.
