"Yes; and whether he regards it as an advantage or disadvantage, he will owe you a grudge for it But here comes cheese, radishes, and a bumper to church and king, the hint for chaplains and ladies to disappear; and I, the sole representative of womanhood at Osbaldistone Hall, retreat, as in duty bound."
In one place an ancient tram-car had been converted into a cafe and labelled: "Au Restaurant des Ruines"; and everywhere between the calcined walls the carefully combed gardens aligned their radishes and lettuce-tops. From Bar-le-Duc we turned northeast, and as we entered the forest of Commercy we began to hear again the Voice of the Front.
With the money thus received they bought rice and radishes, their daily food. Only once or twice a year, at New Year's and on the mikado's birthday, could they afford to treat themselves to a mess of bean-curd or fresh fish. Yet the old man was very fond of rice-wine, and every week bought a gourd full to keep his old blood warm.
"I should not have dared keep this, if it had not been for the other " the old woman told them. "I am very sure that in these days God walks in vegetable gardens " For breakfast they had strawberries and radishes, thin little corn cakes and two fresh eggs from the chickens which most triumphantly occupied the conservatory.
In a few days it was completed, and I constructed houses for my men, and two good huts for ourselves. Having a supply of garden seeds, I arranged a few beds, which I sowed with onions, cabbages, and radishes. My camp was eighty yards long, and forty wide. My horses were picqueted in two corners, while the donkeys and camels occupied the opposite extremity. We now felt perfectly independent.
The king, we found, was engaged in a war with the sun, and he offered me a commission, but I declined the honor his majesty intended me. Everything in this world is of extraordinary magnitude! a common flea being much larger than one of our sheep: in making war their principal weapons are radishes, which are used as darts: those who are wounded by them die immediately.
I said, now that we had the space, we would separate our rows of beets and radishes and salad full ten to fourteen inches, as advised by the authorities who had written the package directions, and thus give both the plants and the gardener more room. But Elizabeth had acquired the economy habit.
Have you a seat?" "Yes, yes, come with me. You have got on your famous bonnet, I see?" "Yes; do you like it? It is a little showy, is it not? What a multitude of people! Where is your husband?" "Showy! Oh, no, it is splendid. My husband is in the churchwarden's pew; he left before me; he is becoming a fanatic he speaks of lunching on radishes and lentils."
Here is the account of Miss Snobky's dress, and that of her mother, Lady Snobky, from the papers: Habit de Cour, composed of a yellow nankeen illusion dress over a slip of rich pea-green corduroy, trimmed en tablier, with bouquets of Brussels sprouts: the body and sleeves handsomely trimmed with calimanco, and festooned with a pink train and white radishes. Head-dress, carrots and lappets.
The gardener had cleverly converted the conservatory into a sort of kitchen garden, and had planted some useful vegetables, such as radishes, carrots, salad, etc., so you see the family took good care that it should have enough to eat, and mice and rats only appeared on the table after the repasts.
