The visiting pitcher followed this up with a sharp drop, which came down across Bart's shoulders. Again Bart declined to swing. "Two strikes!" cried Carker. Bart did not kick. He did not even frown, although he realized he had failed to swing at two fair balls. The next ball was wide. Then followed a high one. Hodge hit the next ball and put up an infield fly, which was easily captured by McCann.
Then I turned and went out of the room, and downstairs, with, it seemed to me, much dignity. However, Mrs. Jameson was not impressed by it, for she called after me: "My good woman, will you please tell Mrs. Liscom that I must have some hot water to make my health food with immediately? Tell her to send up a pitcher at once, very hot." I did not tell Caroline about the hot water.
This new proof of the affection of the poor, unfortunate creatures who made their afflictions the means of earning their livelihood touched him to the very heart, and for a moment he was unable to find words to express his feelings. Mr. Costello lit a cigar. Von Barwig looked at the water pitcher and then at Costello and began: "Mr. Costello, and and " he paused. "Freaks," prompted Costello.
It was plainly to be seen that, although the Ellisons had been reduced in circumstances through the loss of the mill, there was still an abundance of its kind yielded by the farm. On a table were dishes of apples and fall pears; two pumpkin pies of vast circumference squatted near by, close to a platter of honey and a huge pitcher of milk.
He did not think of the warm sun and of the fresh air; he did not care for the little cottage children that ran about and prattled when they were in the woods looking for wild strawberries. The children often came with a whole pitcher full of berries, or a long row of them threaded on a straw, and sat down near the young tree and said, "Oh, how pretty he is! what a nice little fir!"
And would you be coming over in all the rain? Well! well! well! and that would be kind, whatefer." Elsie put down the pitcher of milk she was bringing from the pantry and came forward to remove the visitor's dripping shawl. "Don't, Elsie, don't!" whispered Miss Arabella, clutching it tighter. "Come on upstairs. I want to tell you something something awful." Elsie's big eyes opened wide.
The orange juice and square bottles of clear gin, the array of glasses and ice-filled pewter pitcher in which Lee mixed his drinks, were standing conveniently on a table in the small reception room. Fanny, in a lavender dress with a very full skirt decorated with erratically placed pale yellow flowers, had everything in readiness. "Mina Raff came," she announced, as he descended the stairs.
There are good pitchers of all sizes, from Madden and Kilroy to Whitney and McCormick, though naturally a man of average proportions would have some advantages. The first thing necessary before one can become a star pitcher is the ability to throw a ball with speed.
Accordingly, having still on his body a very white doublet and an apron fresh from the wash, which bespoke him rather a miller than a baker, he let set before his door, every morning, towards the time when he looked for Messer Geri and the ambassadors to pass, a new tinned pail of fair water and a small pitcher of new Bolognese ware, full of his good white wine, together with two beakers, which seemed of silver, so bright they were, and seated himself there, against they should pass, when, after clearing his throat once or twice, he fell to drinking of that his wine with such a relish that he had made a dead man's mouth water for it.
"Then I think I'll let you chase," said Dale. "I hope you chase the ball instead of chasing round the bases." Hodge was watching Dale's every movement. He saw Sparkfair hold the ball, covered by his hands, close to his mouth. Evidently the pitcher intended to use the spit ball. Nevertheless, something warned Bart that Dale had turned the ball over and grasped the dry side.
