His brother made a motion to rise. "Sit still, Dorl," came the warning voice. White with rage, the freebooter sat still, his dissipated face and heavy angry lips, looking like a debauched and villanous caricature of his brother before him. "Yes, I suppose you'd have potted me, Dorl," said the ex-sergeant.
He observed that he had a high opinion of hearty food, such as potted owl with Minerva sauce, airy tongues of sirens, stewed ibis, livers of Roman Capitol geese, the wings of a Phoenix not too much done, love-lorn nightingales cooked briskly over Aladdin's lamp, chicken-pies made of fowls raised by Mrs. Carey, Nautilus chowder, and the like.
"It is a distinction," said the Duke bitterly. "He did not beat me by so much," continued Popplecourt. "I think Tregear did the best with his rifle. One morning he potted three. Dobbes was disgusted. He hated Tregear." "Isn't it stupid, half-a-dozen men getting together in that way?" asked Lady Cantrip. "Nidderdale is always jolly." "I am glad to hear that," said the mother-in-law.
They went forward together for a few yards in total darkness. Then, from somewhere high above them a faint light filtered through. "That's on the stairs," said Bunny. "One of those window-slits through which in the old hospitable days all comers were potted at. Look out how you go!" The words were scarcely uttered when they both kicked against the lowest stair and blundered forward.
"I don't want your things," he rudely expostulated, when she loaded his table with cold chicken, jellies and potted meats. "I'm not starving." "Yes, you are," she said, "and you've got to eat all I bring you." And she made him eat.
If not high enough, add salt, mace, pepper, and a piece of fresh butter melted in a spoonful or two of gravy that came from the hare. When well mixed, put it into small pots, and cover it with butter. The legs and back should be baked at the bottom of the jar, to keep them moist, and the bones be put over them. POTTED HERRINGS. Scale, clean, and season them well.
Turnbull had declared his opposition; but he could not with propriety withdraw it in deference to Mr. Turnbull's opinion. During the week Phineas had had his hands sufficiently full. Twice he had gone to the potted peas inquiry; but he had been at the office of the People's Banner more often than that.
Supposing the Germans had got on to them, and trotted them out first, and one of our own guns had potted him or me, that would have been a jolly sell. What makes you ask after Timmy? I hardly like to tell you the awful thing that's happened to him. He had to travel down to the base hospital on a poor chap who was shivering with shell-shock, and he never came back again.
And Ishmael entered, wondering what he could be supposed to have to do with preserved fruits and potted meats. Bee pointed to a box that was neatly packed with small jars, saying: "There, Ishmael there are some sealed fruits and vegetables, and some spiced meats and fish, and a bachelor's lamp and kettle, in that case which Ann is closing down. They are yours.
"Pil," said Cusack, a few days after the unfortunate end to that gentleman's "motion" in Parliament "Pil, it strikes me we can do pretty much as we like these times. What do you think?" "Well, I don't know," said Pil, meditatively; "I got a pot from Coates to-day for playing fives against the schoolhouse door." "Oh yes; of course, if you fool about out of doors you'll get potted.
