And when Gargantua whiffed the great draught, they thought to have been drowned in his mouth, and the flood of wine had almost carried them away into the gulf of his stomach. Nevertheless, skipping with their bourdons, as St. Michael's palmers use to do, they sheltered themselves from the danger of that inundation under the banks of his teeth.
A swarm of them, and all with a wolf in their stomachs and a sponge in their gullets. Monks, friars, pilgrims, palmers, soldiers, excisemen, provost-marshals and men, and mere bad debtors, how can 'The White Hart' butt against all these?
McQuae heard his voice, and gave a start that all but pitched him into the water. "Good God!" he cried, "I'd forgotten all about it." "About what?" I asked. "Why, it's the Palmers and the Grahams and the Hendersons. I've asked them all over to lunch, and there's not a blessed thing on board but two mutton chops and a pound of potatoes, and I've given the boy a holiday."
It's not what he says. Oh, Anna, if you really knew, and loved him, you couldn't let anything else come before him! Not all the Palmers, and Waverleys, and Aunt Sarahs in the world. You couldn't give him a minute's pain or disappointment." She was so moved by her subject, that the tears stood in her dark eyes as she turned them upon Anna.
She could not bear to disappoint him, as he waited eagerly for her answer. "The fact is," she said at length, "I don't understand Anna. She doesn't look at things in the same way as I do. She gets on better with the Palmers than with me." "I'm sorry for that," said the Professor, with a discouraged air, "but Anna's very young, you know, in years and character too. I daresay she needs patience."
"It's because I'm a relative of the Palmers, and the Palmers and the Lambs seem to be old family friends." "Something the Adamses certainly are not," Alice said. "Not with either of 'em; particularly not with the Lambs!" And here, scarce aware of what impelled her, she returned to her former elaborations and colourings.
Now, I won't disturb your dear mother to say good-bye, for I think she's just dropped off. I'll go softly out." She moved with ponderous care out of the room, followed by Delia, but came to a stand again in the hall. "You heard about this picnic of the Palmers?" she said, inquiringly. "You're going, of course. It seems to be a large affair." "I'm not quite sure," said Delia.
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss, with the brief dialogue that follows, were spoken in a thoroughly artificial manner. The voice was exquisite, but from the point of view of tone it was absolutely false. It was wrong in color.
Everything went on quite smoothly until the day fixed for the picnic came. Aunt Sarah gave no hint of any objection; the weather was gloriously hot and fine; Anna's new white dress was very pretty there was nothing wanting to her long-desired enjoyment. She stood amongst the nodding roses in the porch, waiting for the Palmers to call for her in their carriage, on the way to Alderbury.
So as the frost has broken gloriously, I wish you would get me a couple of dozen of good flies, viz., cock a bondhues, red palmers with plenty of gold twist; winged duns, with bodies of hare's ear and yellow mohair mixed well; hackle duns with grey bodies, and a wee silver, these last tied as palmers, and the silver ribbed all the way down.
