He fastened a brick to the cow's tail, then set blithely about his work assured of unusual comfort while the rest of us looked on in doubt. Suddenly through the mist of mosquitoes came a dull whack and an outburst of 'language. The cow went on placidly chewing till Fred got on his feet and furiously attacked her with the milking-stool.
Beate took the maid's milking-stool, stroked and patted a fine brown and white cow, and began to milk into the bowl. The girl's bright head stood out against the cow's great side. Horny held the lantern. Presently she had filled the bowl with foaming milk. The cow lowed a little at being disturbed so early and in such a peculiar manner. "That is milk!" said the young mistress proudly.
There, before one of the houses, she called aloud, with a long, lingering note, "Jacob!" and Jacob Pease rose from; his milking-stool, and came forward. Jacob was tall and snuff-colored, a widower of three years' standing. There was a theory that he wanted Mary, and lacked the courage to ask her. "That you, Mary Dunbar?" said he. "Anything on hand?"
A little farther on I rolled over another beer-barrel: as a matter of fact it was the same beer- barrel, but I did not know this. At the time it seemed to me that Robina had made up her mind to run a public-house. I found the milking-stool again and started afresh, and before I had gone a dozen steps was in among bottles again.
Why, Jessica, it's cost us everything food, clothing, fun, friends, and almost life itself! I think we 'll sell that automobile." And they sold it.

The family had lived for some time in a shabby-genteel house on Beacon Hill, ever since, indeed, Mrs.
But when I arrived at the pen, a tin bucket in one hand, a milking-stool in the other, and letting down the bars, crept inside, the cows eyed me with evident distrust and even shook their horns in a menacing manner which quite alarmed me.
He throws his royal robe over a milking-stool and it becomes a throne. But chiefly he chooses objects of comparison grand in themselves. He deals with the elements at first hand. Such delicacy of treatment, with such breadth and force of effect, is hard to match anywhere, and we know him by his style at sight.
He placed himself on the milking-stool, which was so high that his little legs were dangling half-way down, and milked and milked Dolly standing as still as possible till he had filled the whole pail. Most astonishing cow! she gave as much as two cows; and such delicious milk as it was all frothing and yellow richer than even Dolly's milk had ever been before.
I should not wonder if the vexation dries her milk, for she knows she can never wear a crown again. And Zottel, she's to be queen a sleek, comely cow, but never used to a crown. However, Jakobi sends word we need not fear her disgracing herself, for he is training her up and down with a milking-stool on her head. Cows are more like mortals than brute beasts.
There was nothing more to be done until Charles Stuart and Long Pete Fowler came in with the milk. So Mother MacAllister sat down in the old rocker by the sun-flooded window with her knitting, and Elizabeth sat on an old milking-stool at her feet.
