"A little overripe for the toe, I fear, Major." "Well, well, we're sober enough now, sir, sober enough and to spare. Even the races are dull things. I've just been in to have a look at that new mare Tom Bickels is putting on the track, and bless my soul, she can't hold a candle to the Brown Bess I ran twenty years ago you don't remember Brown Bess, eh, Governor?"
How bad, for instance, poor Leuchy had looked after she, Hollyhock, had played the prank on her; how withered up, like an apple all overripe her eyes so dim, her scanty locks so faded! Well, she must not think of Leuchy now; only she would have been a little happier if Leuchy had given her the kiss she had asked for. The maids of England were cold.
Then an overripe potato whizzed through the air and burst against the shop wall a few inches from the reader's head. Issy jumped. "You you everlastin' young ones, you!" he shouted fiercely. "If I git my hands onto you, you'll wish you'd I see you hidin' behind that fence."
Miss Alcott, in her immortal "Little Women," has given an instance of what dire results may follow if the "jelly won't jell." It is overripe, water- soaked currants that break up families and demolish household gods. Let me also add another fact, as true as it is strange, that white currants make red jelly; therefore give the pearly fruit ample space in the garden.
The sulphuring process is popular because it acts as a preservative and it is profitable because it allows the fruit to retain more water without spoiling than would be possible otherwise. Canning fruit: It is very easy to can fruit, but it requires care. Select fruit that is not overripe. The work room should be clean and so should the cans and covers.
He went to seek him on the evening of his return to the city. The fat concierge preserved still her burst and overripe appearance, and at the sight of him she was so moved that she rose from her chair and stood upright to voice her lamentations. "Monsieur, what can I say? He is gone! It was a nightmare. It is true that he omitted to pay his rent a defect of his temperament, without doubt.
Henner's interpretation, the product of an old, perhaps an overripe culture. Certainly no such picture could have been produced in America! If I had to choose between this and the luxurious sex-stuff of Mary Magna well, I wondered. At least, I had been interested in every moment of "Dr. Caligari," and I was only interested in Mary off the screen.
Beyond we could see the fields, where the crops, already overripe, must surely waste for lack of men and teams to harvest them; and on the edge of one field we marked where the three peasants dug the grave for the rotting horse, striving to get it underground before it set up a plague. Except for them, busy with pick and spade, no living creature in sight was at work. Sherman said it!
Harry looked over every ear of the green corn by pulling the husks down and any that seemed a bit overripe he discarded. "We will have to take the long wagon," said Bert, as they began to count up the baskets. There were two of beans, three of corn, one of lettuce, two of sweet apples, besides five bunches of Freddie's radishes.
In some way he had got hold of a heavy war-club, and at close quarters it was a far more efficient weapon than a rifle. He was right in the thick of them, so that they could not spear him, while their tomahawks seemed worse than useless. He was fighting for me, and he was in a true Berserker rage. The way he handled that club was amazing. Their skulls squashed like overripe oranges.
