"I think she looks pretty well for a cow that you must have had to study from a milk-can nearest you could come to a cow in Boston." Miss Carver, the other young lady, ignored his joking, and after some criticisms on the picture, left him and Miss Swan to talk it over. She talked to Lemuel, and asked him if he had read a book he glanced at on the table, and seemed willing to make him feel at ease.
He struck again with the steel, and as he bent to blow the tinder into flame his eye caught the gleam of it on Aunt Jeanne's polished milk-can. I know not what he thought it. Possibly his nerves were overstrung with what he had been going through. With an oath he dropped the tinder, and snatched out a pistol, and fired in the direction of the can.
You thought it was a milk-can. Not really? I Does mother grow beautiful roses now? HARRY: No, she does not. ELIZABETH: Mother! We mustn't upset the lice. You take it them off plants, don't you? CLAIRE: I'm putting them on certain plants. ELIZABETH: Oh studying. CLAIRE: Studying what? ELIZABETH: Why the things one studies, mother. CLAIRE: Oh! The things one studies.
Whoa! Stop, can't ye?" Then a peculiarly unyielding milk-can landed on my head and I seemed to float away. I have reason to believe that I sat up about two minutes later. The crash was over and peace had settled once more upon the face of nature. From far away came the sound of galloping hoofs, belonging, no doubt, to some of the horses who had participated in the late excitement.
Another night, passing in front of a farm-house, I came upon a full milk-can standing by a gate; the contents not only filled my water bottle, but even satisfied me. One morning, after an unusually long march, I flopped down and went to sleep in an overgrown ditch, surrounded by gorse and broom. The sun was just rising when I awoke with the idea that I was lying on a bed of pins.
"You see, an iron kettle is such a weight", he explained, "and the last time we took one of those rubbishy sixpence-halfpenny tin ones the solder all melted directly we put it on to the fire, and the spout dropped off. We can sling the milk-can on a stick and prop it over the fire, and it does splendidly."
He fled across to the shelter of the wall, and hurried off; old Jorgen stood there gobbling with laughter as he watched him, his hands folded over his broomstick. "O Lord, is that a man?" he cried to Jeppe, who sat at his window, shaving himself before the milk-can. "Just look how he puffs! Now he'll go in and beg God to forgive him for going courting!"
I took the rudder lines from her, and steered the boat, while she again resorted to the bladder of spirits. "Take another sip," said she, after she had filled the milk-can; "it won't harm you." I thought the same, for I was wet through, and the wind, as it howled, pierced me to the bones; I took a small quantity as before, and then continued to keep the boat before the wind.
One thing in my outfit, however, tickled them out of all politeness; and that was the bemired condition of my canvas shoes. I suppose they were sure the mud at any rate was a home product. The young woman's milk-can, a great amphora of hammered brass, stood some way off upon the sward.
