Like the tortoise and the turtle, they deposit eggs in the sandy banks of the stream, where they can mature by the heat of the sun. A certain species of the monkey tribe is very partial to new-laid alligator eggs, and is on the watch much of the time to discover the mother when she deposits them.
"You mean the 'Kitty Douglas' of the signs I've just passed?" asked John, grinning. "Yes. What were they, today?" "'Fresh pies, by Kitty Douglas, 'Bread made every day, by Kitty Douglas, 'New-laid eggs every day, by Kitty Douglas'!" "Kitty's cooking is as fair as the reputation of her house is not. She charges two dollars for a meal of pork and beans." "'Tis the regular price everywhere.
And to his companions he added: "Pray excuse me, but I want to see if I can get some new-laid eggs for my father. He is so fond of them." A few minutes afterwards the carriage stopped. At the very edge of the road stood a primitive sort of inn, bearing the proud and sonorous name of "Antica Osteria Romana."
Mary Vance eyed her gloomily. Knowing what she knew, or fancied she knew, Mary considered that Faith was far too light-hearted. Mary had something on her mind to say and she meant to say it before she went home. Mrs. Elliott had sent her up to the manse with some new-laid eggs, and had told her not to stay longer than half an hour.
She is not to have any cakes just now, but as soon as she has done thanking the lady for her beautiful nosegay, she is to have a couple of nice new-laid eggs, that are being brought her by another lady.
"Well, look here, Susy, you have thrust yourself into this matter, and you must help me out. I suppose I must have a tea, but it must be a very plain one." "No; it must be a very nice tea. Oh, I'll see to that. Mother shall send over some things from town a little pink ham cut very thin, and new-laid eggs " "And water-cress," said Mrs. Church.
She was a different kid from what she'd been upstairs. I never saw anybody look so happy and pleased with herself. Her eyes were like lamps, and her cheeks all pink, and she was going at it like a champion. I knew what had made a hit with the people. It was the look of her. She made you think of fresh milk and new-laid eggs and birds singing.
"I would bet a sack of potatoes to a bag of meal that one o' thim very hins is afther layin' an egg, by the cluck of her!" He shouted and whistled, and a woman came to the door. "Do you happen to have any new-laid eggs about the place, ma'am?" asked the carter. "Why then, I have three," said the woman, "nice an' warm from the nest. Would ye be wantin' thim?"
Down the stairs she went, then out into the Court; and just round the corner in Drury Lane was a greengrocer's shop, in the window of which hung a label "New-laid Eggs."
About eight o'clock in the evening, after a meditative stroll in the air which he had so praised, he entered the shop where he was wont to make his modest purchases. A fat woman behind the counter nodded familiarly to him, with a grin at another customer. Mr. Tymperley bowed, as was his courteous habit. 'Oblige me, he said, 'with one new-laid egg, and a small, crisp lettuce.
