The blonde woman cast upon Emma McChesney an admiring eye. "Gawd, ain't it hot!" she said, sociably. "I wonder," mused Emma McChesney, "if that porter could be hypnotized into making some lemonade a pitcherful, with a lot of ice in it, and the cold sweat breaking out all over the glass? "Lemonade!" echoed the other, wonder and amusement in her tone. "Are they still usin' it?"
Eugene expressed a predilection for fresh buttermilk and they brought him a pitcherful, saying that as a rule it was given to the pigs; the children did not care for it. They talked and jested and he heard odd bits of information concerning people here and there some farmer who had lost a horse by colic; some other farmer who was preparing to cut his wheat.
'What right have they to charge me money for the water of this natural spring, which is the gift of God? I will not pay. 'No matter. I pay for you, shrugged Suleymân. I tried to make the missionary for such he proved to be upon acquaintance understand that the conditions in that desert country made the spring a valued property, and gave a price to every pitcherful of water. 'What!
"I wish you'd made a pitcherful." "Why didn't you, Do?" her sisters demanded. "You're too late," said Dora, hunting for her needle and then for her thimble, and then for her twist; "but there's more in the kitchen." "I'd rather go without than go into the kitchen," said Adeline; "I do despise a kitchen." And this seemed to be the general sentiment; for no one moved.
Since the country has but few rivers, lakes, or large springs, and many used wells which they had dug, there was a law made, that, where there was a public well within a hippicon, that is, four furlongs, all should draw at that; but, when it was farther off, they should try and procure a well of their own; and, if they had dug ten fathom deep and could find no water, they had liberty to fetch a pitcherful of four gallons and a half in a day from their neighbors'; for he thought it prudent to make provision against want, but not to supply laziness.
The bees flew in and out from early morning till late evening without ever tiring, and filled the hive with the most beautiful honey, so that in autumn Harry was able to take a whole pitcherful out of it.
"I'll get some from the cooler on the boat." Off he hurried, returning presently with a pitcherful of fresh water and a glass, and with this the man was given a drink, when Jerry held up his head. The water seemed the very thing needed for the sufferer, as they could see by the light of the lantern, opened his eyes, and gazed wonderingly about him.
"If you could only see the old man!" added the attendant, with his Andalusian accent. "A white beard that reaches down to his waist, and if you'd put it into hot water it would yield more than a pitcherful of grease. He's almost as greasy as the grand Rabbi, who's the bishop among them.... But he has lots of money.
Oh! what a miserable, low-lying stretch of God- forgetting monotony our lives look when we are looking back at them in the mass. One film of mist is scarcely perceptible, but when you get a mile of it you can tell what it is oppressive darkness. One drop of muddy water does not show its pollution, but when you have a pitcherful of it you can see how thick it is.
No more coffee for you, my dear, and by and by you'll see that I am right. Any new milk downstairs, Phebe?" "Yes, sir, plenty right in from the barn." "That's the drink for my patient. Go bring me a pitcherful, and another cup; I want a draught myself. This won't hurt the honeysuckles, for they have no nerves to speak of."
