A large troop of baboons had some time ago made mince-meat of his own grandmother. Remembering this, he sloped under a bank, glided round a corner of the cliff, bounded over a bush, and sought refuge in a thicket.

But in the meanwhile the chase had cleared a stern gun, the thickness of the air concealing them; and being better marksmen, their first shot struck us in the bows, knocked our two gunners into mince-meat, so that we were all sprinkled with the blood, and plunged through the deck into the forecastle, where we slept.

"I have the bottom crust in the tin, the top crust is all rolled out, and now I need the mince-meat. I'll get it." From a glass jar which she brought from the cupboard, next to a jar of peaches, Sue poured very carefully into the bottom crust some dark stuff that had a most delicious spicy odor. "Um-m, that mince-meat is good and strong!" said Sue. "Daddy will be sure to love it."

His left arm was fractured in three places; his shoulder and breast were literally cut up like mince-meat; amputation appeared to be the only chance for him; but in that lacerated flesh there was no longer a spot from which could be cut a shred.” It is easily seen how precarious and nominal has been Spanish rule on most of the islands of this vast archipelago.

Bonner at the Chicago Club, and the new major-general commanding the military division graciously accepted Bonner's bid to be one of the dinner-party, and took Geordie aside after coffee had been served, noting that the silent young fellow neither smoked nor touched his wine, and asked him a few questions about the Point and many about the mines, and at parting the general was so good as to express the wish that when Geordie came out to join in September he would stop and see him, all of which was very flattering to a young fellow just out of cadet gray, and Geordie, as in duty bound, said that he certainly would, little dreaming how soon how very soon he and the old regiment would be riding hard under the lead of that hard-riding leader, and facing a foe led by warriors true and tried a foe any ten of whom could have made mince-meat of ten times their number of such foemen as Graham had met at the mines.

We know, of course, how you got Colonel Houghton off, and remained to die; and how proud all the regiment has been of your exploit; so you can start and tell us how it was that you escaped from being cut to mince-meat." Lisle again went through the story. "Why did you not return at once, when the chief who captured you said that you were his guest?

On the other hand, if a paterfamilias cannot trust his better half on this particular subject, he may as well imitate the example of certain savage tribes, and make mince-meat of the girls. Perhaps I seem to be worked up on the subject? Well, I am. The din of the moralists, and of the people who have never had a chance to go anywhere, is in my ears, and I cannot get altogether rid of it.

Ah! she would rush into the fire for her: she would let herself be chopped into mince-meat: she is ready for anything. "If you had anything to conceal, madame, I would take it on myself and say it was me!" "Very well, Justine, very good, my girl," says Caroline, terrified: "but that's not the point: just try to keep in your place."

Lingnam swung round the big drum in the market-place and thundered back, shouting: 'Leave it alone. It's my meat! 'Mince-meat, 'e means, said Holford after this second trituration. 'You couldn't say now it 'ad ever been one, could you? Mrs. Bellamy opened the window and spoke. It appears she had only charged for damage to the bicycle, not for the entire machine which Mr.

And then I showed my great mince-pie in a bag of tissue paper, and I told them how the mince-meat was made of golden pippins finely shred, with the undercut of the sirloin, and spice and fruit accordingly and far beyond my knowledge.
