We sent the two Indians into the woods to cut palm-leaves to mend the thatch of our cuberta, while Jose and I rambled through the woods which skirted the campo. On our return, we found a most bountiful spread in the house of our hostess. A spotless white cloth was laid on the mat, with a plate for each guest and a pile of fragrant, newly-made farinha by the side of it.
"I make de axe, I use it; if you make it, you use it." Macco, lifting his newly-made axe, advanced to the tree, and began chopping away with careful and delicate strokes. He cut off only very thin slices at a time, but by degrees he increased the rapidity of his strokes, and I soon saw would produce far greater effect than we could do with our knives. When he stopped, we set to work again.
"And now it's too late!" "Eh?" George indicated Alice with a gesture. The newly-made Mrs. Byng smiled. "Mr. Bevan means that now you've got to jump through hoops and sham dead when I lift a little finger!" Reggie raised her hand to his lips, and nibbled at it gently. "Blessums 'ittle finger!
Along this lane, with bent head, came Lord Hartington, brother of one of the murdered men, passing from the newly-made house of mourning in Carlton House Terrace to his home at Devonshire House. No one ventured to speak to him, but every hat was lifted in token of silent sympathy. It was a memorable, never-to-be-forgotten night.
On the little trim newly-made roads I met people in flannels coming back from tennis and the beach, and a coastguard from the wireless station, and donkeys and pierrots padding homewards. Out at sea in the blue dusk I saw lights appear on the ARIADNE and on the destroyer away to the south, and beyond the Cock sands the bigger lights of steamers making for the Thames.
Vickers had gone back to her cave, and the two were alone by the fire, near which stood the kettle and the newly-made damper. The child, with some show of hesitation, came to him, and he caught and placed her on his knee. The moon had not yet risen, and the shadows cast by the flickering fire seemed weird and monstrous. The wicked wish to frighten this helpless creature came to Maurice Frere.
We went back to the farm, and Jessie helped me to lengthen the rope by joining to it several shorter pieces. Then, judging that Thora, if she were in the cavern, would be suffering from want of food, we got a small basket and stored it with tempting eatables some newly-made scones, two hard-boiled eggs, and a closed flagon filled with hot tea.
The subtle difference, whatever it was, made him get up and offer to shake hands with her, and he thought it was the newly-made vows constraining him, and took credit therefor. "You can revile me as much as you like now, Nan," he said, with prideful humility. "You can't make me mad any more, like you used to." "Why can't I?" she demanded. "Because I'm older now, and and better, I hope.
This sheaf, which remains standing in the field after the Rice-soul has been carried home and put to bed, is treated as a newly-made mother; that is to say, young shoots of trees are pounded together and scattered broadcast every evening for three successive days, and when the three days are up you take the pulp of a coco-nut and what are called "goat-flowers," mix them up, eat them with a little sugar, and spit some of the mixture out among the rice.
What a sight to meet a newly-made, adoring husband's eyes on his marriage evening and on the eve of the day of his highest triumph, in love as in ambition! For one petrified moment he gazed on her, too much amazed to utter a word. Then suddenly he stooped, raised her as lightly as if she had been a baby, and laid her on the sofa. "Cora love wife! Oh! what is this?" he cried, bending over her.
