To say that the boy was consummate in the limited way of a ship's cook does not overstate his effectiveness. He did unheard-of things even fruit and berry-pies, from preserves two years, at least, remote from vine and orchard. The two mates and boatswain, who also messed aft, bolted without speech, but marvelled between meals.
I only wish I wasn't so much trouble to you. I owe you a lot, Dicky Pasha everything! You got me the golden shillings to start with; you had faith in me; you opened the way to fortune, to the thing that's more than fortune to success." "I'm not altogether proud of you. You've messed things to-day." "I'll set them right to-morrow with your help. Ismail is going a bit large this time."
The commander was an old friend of the owner, and messed with him in the main cabin, though his state-room was a large apartment between the cabin and the ward-room; the space on the opposite side of the ship being used for the pantries and the bath-room. Before the conference in the cabin had proceeded far, the motion of the steamer, and the creaking of the timbers within her, indicated that Mr.
Now my own first business was with a tailor: for the clothes I wore when I rode into Temple, four months back, had been so sadly messed with blood, and afterward cut, to free them from my wound, that now all the tunic I wore was of sackcloth, contrived and stitch'd together by Joan. Arrayed in this, I felt myself again, and offered to take Joan to see the Fat Woman.
He was a remarkably urbane and polished man; with a very graceful exterior, and looked much like an Ambassador Extraordinary from Versailles. He messed with the Lieutenants in the Ward-room, where he had a state-room, elegantly furnished as the private cabinet of Pelham.
"Why do you think it was a large calibre pistol, Major?" asked Mr. Marigold attentively. "I've seen plenty of men killed at close range by revolver and rifle bullets out at the front," replied Desmond, "but I never saw a man's face messed up like this. In a raid once I shot a German at point blank range with my revolver, the ordinary Army issue pattern, and I looked him over after.
Plodder was an Amazon in whom there was no weakness. She discharged the cook and sent her back to Braska. Then they "messed" with Mrs. Flight, and about this time the hops began and the visits from town and the drives, and Mrs. Plodder presently conceived it to be her duty to remonstrate with Mira, who wept and stormed, and after a time, as Willett's visits began to grow frequent, Mrs.
"Well, suh," replied Gabe, "he's a heap better'n whut he's been showin' lately, that's a fact." "Can he beat horses like Calloway and Hartshorn?" "He kin if he gits a chance." "How do you mean, a chance?" "Well, suh, if he gits a good, hones' ride, fo' one thing. He been messed all oveh the race track las' few times out." "But with a good ride you think he can win?" "Humph!" sniffed Gabe.
Well, he needn't have made a body think so, he needn't. There, Margot! You've messed him with the black stuff!" Indignantly brushing her child aside the woman seized the cup and deftly administered its entire contents. The stranger had not yet opened his eyes, but accepted the warm liquid mechanically, and his nurse hurried to fill a bowl with the broth of the stew in the kettle.
It was a tug, now I tell you! but we got the whale to the Sea Spell after a while. I expected to see the spick and span schooner all messed up with try-out works, and grease, and smoke. It disgusted me that the Yankee skipper should be so sharp after the Almighty Dollar. But I didn't yet know Captain Adoniram Tugg.
