So she got a little bedroom for herself behind the sitting-room, and just over the little back parlour of the chemist, with whom they were to lodge. There was somewhat of a savour of senna softened by peppermint about the place; but, on the whole, the lodgings were clean and comfortable. Nothing could induce the bishop to fill up the vacancy at Hiram's Hospital caused by Mr. Harding's retirement.
This took place after I had ceased to attend the Auld Licht kirk regularly; but I am told that as Whinny gave one wild scream the peppermint dropped from his mouth. The minister had got him by leaning over the pulpit door until, had he given himself only another inch, his feet would have gone into the air. As for Whinny he became a God-fearing man.
He had spent the intervening seven and a half hours on the sea, eating nothing but the one peppermit cream which Miss Rutherford pressed on him while he held the Tortoise at Craggeen. Priscilla had eaten a great many peppermint cream and was besides more inured to starvation on the water of the bay than Frank was.
And then, somehow, they found in their mouths a nice lozenge I think it was peppermint, but am not sure; which comforted them still more. "Did you want me to play with you?" cried the Brownie; "then here I am. What shall we do? Have a turn on the ice together?" No sooner said than done.
Sefton paused, and the lunch bell rang. "What do you think of it?" she queried as we rose. "Honestly, I don't know what I think of it," I answered frankly. Miss Calista's Peppermint Bottle Miss Calista was perplexed.
"Yes," added Limpy-toes, "don't touch any bushes except blueberry, cedar, pine, hemlock, sweet fern, bayberry, or peppermint. Those are all safe and you know 'em well." "For pity sake, Buster, don't get poisoned!" cried Silver Ears. "We hope to get Wink and Wiggle out of doors tomorrow. I'm not anxious for any more patients. I wonder that you let him roam about the woods, Mammy."
The noble tenor went and got it for her, and after she had drank a couple of quarts, she whispered to him: "Young man, I will get even with you for that peppermint candy if I have to live a thousand years, and don't you forget it," and then they all sat down and looked pious, while the minister preached a most beautiful sermon on "Faith."
Warm-hearted, sincere, and truly affectionate a gentleman in word, thought, and deed we found his society and cheerful help a great comfort. Our odd meals became a subject of merriment, and the peppermint and sage tea drank with a better flavour when we had one who sympathised in all our trials, and shared all our toils, to partake of it with us.
Meeks, the housekeeper, a cup of hot water and peppermint, because her dinner had disagreed with her. "Just listen," said Mrs. Meeks. "Yes, ma'am, I should think there was hundreds of cats and little kittens." "I am so afraid Mr. Van Ness will be disturbed." "Yes, ma'am." "You might go out and look, Jane." "Oh, ma'am, they might be burglars!"
Miss Rutherford, the broken rudder still on her knees, and Frank, were left on shore. "Do you think," she said, "that Priscilla intends to maroon us here? She's gone without us." "I'm awfully sorry," said Franks "It's not my fault. I couldn't stop her." "She's got all the food there is, even the peppermint creams. I wish I'd thought of snatching that parcel from the boat before she started.
