As the villagers did not happen to have any meat to barter, we purchased all the rice at an exorbitant price; but it was only sufficient for half a meal for each servant and coolie, when equally divided. Fortunately, we killed four snipe and two doves these were added to our last two tins of provisions, which were 'hotch potch, and stewed altogether. This made a good dinner.
Squeezing her hand at parting, he said: "You know, you could always come to us at Robin Hill; you must let me know everything that happens. Good-bye, Irene." "Good-bye," she answered softly. Jolyon climbed back into his cab, wondering why he had not asked her to dine and go to the theatre with him. Solitary, starved, hung-up life that she had! "Hotch Potch Club," he said through the trap-door.
But de fact is, marm, I put it on to call on a lady. I only dropped in here on my vay." "Won't you take a chair?" said Mrs. Hyams. She spoke English painfully and slowly, having been schooled by Miriam. "No, I'm not tired. But I vill put Nechemyah down on one, if you permit. Dere! Sit still or I potch you! P'raps you could lend me your corkscrew." "With pleasure," said Mrs. Hyams. "I dank you.
'Mercy me, miss, is't you? an' me in a perfick potch, she said apologetically. 'No' a corner for ye to step dry on, nor a seat to sit doon on. Could ye no' jist tak' a walk the length o' the auld place or I redd up a wee? 'No, no, Mrs. Macintyre, replied Gladys, with a laugh. 'Never mind, I'll get a seat somewhere.
I want to see you. He walked up St. James's Street and confided it to the porter at the Hotch Potch. "Give Mr. Jolyon Forsyte this as soon as he comes in," he said, and took one of the new motor cabs into the City.... Jolyon received that card the same afternoon, and turned his face towards the Connoisseurs. What did Soames want now? Had he got wind of Paris? And stepping across St.
Why should he not send for Jo? Taking out his card-case, he pencilled the following message: 'Come round at once. I've sent the carriage for you. On getting out he gave this card to his coachman, telling him to drive as fast as possible to the Hotch Potch Club, and if Mr. Jolyon Forsyte were there to give him the card and bring him at once. If not there yet, he was to wait till he came.
That's how I wanted to have in the family a profession maybe a musician on the violin. Lessons for you out of money I had to lie to your papa about! Honest, when I think of it my own husband it's a wonder I don't potch you just for remembering it. Rudolph, will you stop licking that cake-pan? It's saved for your little brother Leon.
I could potch him again this minute for how he wanted it! Du you little bum you chammer momser I'll feedle you!" Across Mrs. Kantor's face, as she knelt there in the shapeless cotton-stuff uniform of poverty, through the very tenement of her body, a light had flashed up into her eyes.

He had always had a contempt for the place, having joined it many years ago when they refused to have him at the 'Hotch Potch' owing to his being 'in trade. As if he were not as good as any of them! He naturally despised the Club that did take him. The members were a poor lot, many of them in the City stockbrokers, solicitors, auctioneers what not!
