Her brother Sandy, afterwards Lord Marchmont, dispatched his plateful first, looked up, and gave a shout of amazement. "Mother!" he cried, "will ye look at Grisell! while we have been eating our broth, she has eaten up the whole sheep's heid!" "Sandy must have an extra share of the next sheep's heid," said the laughing father when he heard the tale.
He confessed that he did. I said if he would let me out by the garden-door, and permit me just to run across the court, I would fetch him a plateful; and added that I believed they were excellent, as Goton had a very good method of baking, or rather stewing fruit, putting in a little spice, sugar, and a glass or two of vin blanc might I go?
Ted re-entered the house, scraping his feet carefully this time, and looking at Margaret with increased respect as she bustled about.

"I made 'em mysel'," she explained briefly.
Trying to sift them out and put them in a book would be like sorting out a plateful of spaghetti. And if you succeeded you would have a document the size of the New York City telephone directory.

WALTER with his mouth very full can only say, Um! Pass this down to Father, says MOTHER, and she starts to hand another plateful of pudding to Grandmother. Oh, Mother, exclaims GERTRUDE, aren't you younger than Father? Yes, just by two months, answers MOTHER, keeping the plateful of pudding in her hand. You think I ought to be helped next?
After Pao-yue had had a couple of mouthfuls, She Yueeh also brought him a small plateful of brown ginger, prepared according to some prescription. Pao-yue put a piece into his mouth, and, impressing some advice on Ch'ing 'Wen, he crossed over to dowager lady Chia's suite of rooms. His grandmother had not yet got out of bed.
And on the days when one hasn't breakfasted, one feels inclined to look up one's parents, even though they may have turned one into the street, for, all the same, they can hardly be so hard-hearted as to refuse one a plateful of soup." Tears rose to Norine's eyes.
With respect to the breakfast, I can only say, that it was superabundant that the tea was as black as bog water that there were hen, turkey, and geese eggs plates of toast soaked, crust and crumb, in butter; and lest there might be a deficiency, one of the daughters sat on a stool at the fire, with her open hand, by way of a fire screen, across her red, half-scorched brows, toasting another plateful, and, to crown all, on each corner of the table was a bottle of whiskey.
