My canoe scraped its keel upon the shoals as I dodged the broken oyster reefs, called here "oyster rocks," while on the passage down to Watchapreague Inlet. The tide was very low, but the water deepened as the beach was approached.
In short, I made the not entirely new discovery that it may be said of an establishment like this, in dear old England, as of the fat oyster in the American story, that it takes a good many men to swallow it whole. "And pray, ma'am," said I, sensible that the blankness of my face began to brighten as the thought occurred to me, "could one see these Travellers?"

I am sure when we speak of the treasures of the sea, you are thinking of places where pearls lie deep, hidden in the shell of the oyster but I did not know until lately that not only iron and copper, but also gold and silver, are found in sea water. And now what can we say of the colour of the sea?
"Do you mean to say that you swallow these monsters?" "We think them fine eating," Mrs. Adams replied. "My lord," said Mr. Dapper, turning to Upperton, "I'm going to try one.

"You just bet I am," returned Steve, possessing himself of the heavy kitchen knife. "Come along and let's see if we had our wading and toting the find all the way to camp for nothing."
Celery sauce is, again, white sauce with the pulp of boiled celery. Oyster sauce is white sauce made by using the oyster liquor instead of stock.

She's taught school; laid out the dead; an' done the Lord only knows what durin' her lifetime. She can turn her hand to most anything; an' they do say she's mum as an oyster, which is a virtue out of the common in a woman." "Suppose I see if we can get her?" suggested Lucy. "Well," returned Ellen, with a reluctant groan, "I reckon you'll have to.
