Bronson put him to bed, settled Muffin among his blankets in a basket by the hot water pipes, opened the windows wide, said "God bless you," and went away. "Sweet dreams, Muffin," said Derry from the big bed. The old dog whuffed discreetly. It was their nightly ceremony.
Never did a minor's eye revel over his broad acres with more complacent enjoyment than did mine skim over the mutton and the muffin, the tea-pot, the trout, and the devilled kidney, so invitingly spread out before me.
I told them it was a specialty of the house. They requested muffins. With a smile of heavenly sweetness tinged with regret, I replied that Saturday was our muffin day; Saturday, muffins; Tuesday, crumpets; Thursday, scones; and Friday, tea-cakes. This inspiration sprang into being full grown, like Pallas from the brain of Zeus.
I say when a man wants to be hung as badly as that, he ought to get what he's crying for, and not butt in on a perfectly innocent man's afternoon fox trot," was that Mr. Buzz Clendenning's wailing to all of the company. "Look the other way, Sue, so as not to turn this muffin cold until I get it buttered."
To complete his capitulation she turned to a little table set before the bowing flames of juniper branches in the grate. "This is breakfast," she told him; "won't you have a cup of tea and a muffin? Aunt Medora will be back presently from the chemist's." For the first time St. George blessed Mrs. Hastings.
"I will fold down the leaf, and wake you a cup of tea, with some nice muffin, against you come down, and that's what you seldom see in Scotland, girl." "Measter's waiting for the young woman," said Tummas impatiently. "Well, Mr. Jack-Sauce, and what is your business to put in your oar? And how often must I tell you to call Mr.

Joel exclaimed, contemptuously, "that old Muffin Man, he's no fun. I say 'Tag. Do begin, Polly," he pulled her sleeve impatiently. "The Muffin Man is so very nice," said Davie, reflectively, "and we haven't played it in so long."
He was in the act of consuming a remnant of a corn muffin and a draft from his paper at the same time, when he heard a merry voice in laughing greeting to Jeff, and the rose damask curtains that hung between the breakfast room and the hall parted, and Phoebe stood framed against their heavy folds.

"When the muffin boy comes, Keziah, please pay him the sixpence we owe him from last week. You will find the money on my writing-table." "Well, I don't care I call it a shame not to go to her " "Perhaps you would like to go to her yourself?"
This was told to the captain, who was obliged to issue a ukase from the cabin, that every steerage passenger, whose destitution was demonstrable, should be given one sea-biscuit and two potatoes a day; a sort of substitute for a muffin and a brace of poached eggs. But this scanty ration was quite insufficient to satisfy their hunger: hardly enough to satisfy the necessities of a healthy adult.
