"The Brownbies are a bad lot, but I don't think they'd do any thing of this kind," said Harry, whose mind was still dwelling on the dangers of fire. "They likes muttons, Mr. 'Eathcote." "I suppose they do take a sheep or two now and then. They wouldn't do worse than that, would they?" "Not'ing too 'ot for 'em; not'ing too 'eavy," said Karl, smoking his pipe.
"Let us wander back to our muttons," he said, "which, being interpreted, means Miss Herbert and Tremaine. What sort of people are the Herberts, by the way? Is Mrs. Herbert a lady?" Elisabeth thought for a moment. "She is the sort of person who pronounces the 't' in often." "I know exactly; I believe 'genteel' is the most correct adjective for that type. Is she good-looking?"
As the English seaside public, however, when he came to think of it, have never heard of the shepherdess who guarded her muttons and still less of the refrain which illustrated her history, he realized that the names as they stood would be ineffective. Ron-ron and Patapon therefore would they be. But Andrew, remembering Elodie's wise counsel, stuck to the "petit."
But to return to our muttons. Here Captain Herbert pulled up a handsome silvery fish of about a pound weight. "A whiting!" cried Pecetti, "and the best fish in the river." Next I hooked a couple of sheepshead, but lost one by the breaking of a hook a common accident, the jaws of this fish being very powerful.
Hence the vast stores of salted flesh found in the larder of the elder Spencer in the days of Edward II., even so late in the spring as the 3rd of May." A note adds that the store consisted of "Six hundred bacons, eighty carcasses of beef and six hundred muttons." It is not difficult to trace the route over which the salt was carried from Droitwich.
"But we must return to our muttons," he said, after a short pause, with a convulsion of the jaw that was meant for a smile; and we did. He went over the whole ground again and then suddenly came a human cri du coeur which gave me one of those fruitless pangs which are the saddest things in the world.
Don Ramón would receive orders to carry his district for some non-resident, who might not have lived there more than a day or two. So those who governed yonder in Madrid had ordered and orders must be obeyed. In every town whole muttons would be set turning over the fires. Tavern wine would flow like water.
It was round and raised somewhat above the floor which was covered with fresh straw. All around the table were seats bolstered with fragrant grass. The two broiled muttons, now quartered, were served up in large platters of beechwood, white as ivory. There were also large pieces of salted pork and a smoked ham of wild boar. The fish remained in the large pot that they had been boiled in.
The bandits, numbering, they say, from fifty to sixty, mounted on horses and dromedaries, only aspire to plunder some poor devil-shepherd of a few camels, goats, and muttons. They never attack in rear; they always sleep at night, save when every moment is precious for "loot"-driving; and their weapons, which may be deadly in the narrows, are despicable in the open country.
I've merely been through all this before and have profited by my experience. Now, then, to get back to our muttons. Will the city council grant you a franchise to enter the city and jump Pennington's tracks?" "I'm sure I don't know, Buck. You'll have to ask them sound them out. The city council meets Saturday morning."
