Perhaps it may thus be understood to imprecate death upon you or some member of your house alluding to the superstition of rooks hovering over the habitations of the sick, when the malady with which they are afflicted is known to be fatal. Indeed, the latter must certainly be the meaning of it, as is evident from the proverb of "Die, an' give the crow a puddin'."
"She won't starve ye; only she won't let ye waste anythin'. You'll have ter eat all the crusts to yer pie, and finish 'taters before you can get any puddin', an' all that, ye know. Ye see, she's great on savin' Aunt Jane is. She says waste is a sinful extravagance before the Lord." "Indeed!" Mr. Smith laughed outright this time.
Pat looked surprised, but handed him the money and little Jim strutted out. "What did Jim want?" asked Mike when he had opportunity. "Raisins for his cooking." And both brothers grinned. "I'll just be doin' the hardest first," said little Jim as, having reached home, he tossed off his hat, tied on his apron, and washed his hands. "And what's that but the puddin'?"
I can do that anyway, and give the roast another baste. It's done, and I'll be settin' it in the warm oven along with the puddin'. For how do I know how Mrs. Brady wants her gravy? Where is she, I wonder?" "Why, Pat," said a surprised voice, "can you cook?" "Not much, ma'am," answered Pat with a blush. "But I can sometimes keep other people's cookin' from spoilin'."
"Thrue for you, sir," replied Denis; "I surely got above twenty guineas for him, an' I'm well satisfied wid the bargain." "You hear that now, Mike you hear what he says." "There's no goin' beyant it," returned Mike; "the proof o' the puddin' is in the atin, as we'll soon know, Mave eh, Docthor?"
Then she ran lightly across the grass, pushed open the slow old door and slipped through it under the ivy. She had such red cheeks and such bright eyes and ate such a dinner that Martha was delighted. "Two pieces o' meat an' two helps o' rice puddin'!" she said. "Eh! mother will be pleased when I tell her what th' skippin'-rope's done for thee."
We 'ad Molly and Jen with us, sir, the two girls on the tray service, an' 'e looks so insultin' at us that I up and sez: 'Wat you looking hat, you fat slug? beg pardon, sir, but that's 'ow I sez, sir. Then 'e don't say nothin' and I sez: 'Come out and I'll punch that puddin' 'ed. Then I hopens the gate an' goes in, but 'e don't say nothin', only looks insultin' like.
"Well, Master Angel," said Mary Ellen, "I don't want to hurt ye, but it do make me heart-sick to see ye bashin' aitch other wid pokers for the sake av a bit girl that's not worth a tinker's curse to ye! Now thin here's a piece of cowld puddin' to each av ye sit on the durestep where the missus won't see ye, an' git outside av it."
She shook her head sadly, "'E keeps on calling for vittles, sir. 'EAVY vittles 'e wants. I get 'im what I can. Pork 'e's 'ad, sooit puddin', sossiges, noo bread. Everythink like that. Left outside, if you please, and me go away. 'E's eatin', sir, somethink AWFUL." There came a piping bawl from inside the door: "That Formalyn?" "That you, Pyecraft?" I shouted, and went and banged the door.
Heap better thtory than that big book that you're a mumblin' over, Mr. Puddin'." "We don't like interesting stories," said the sleepy reader. "They put us to sleep. This is the best book in the world. It's Rollin's Ancient History, and it hasn't got but a few interesting spots in the whole of it. Those we keep sewed up, so that we can't read them.
