"Come, Master Amyas, a pint of white wine and sugar, and a bit of a shoeing-horn to it ere we dine. Some pickled prawns, now, or a rasher off the coals, to whet you?"
"Why, Mary, your bacon surpasses anything I have tasted for the last six months; let's have another rasher, like a good woman. That mountain air sharpens the appetite amazingly; especially of men who are more accustomed to mount the rigging of a ship than the hills on shore. What say you, John Bumpus?"
"Oh, shucks!" said his landlady, slapping the ham rasher into the pan. "And she was very angry, was she?" "I should say so!" snorted Mrs. Trapes, "stamped her foot an' got red in the face " "I love to see her flush!" said Ravenslee musingly again. "Said she wondered at you, she did! Said you was a man without any pride or ambition an' that's what I say too peanuts!"
But though this morning both eggs and rasher have attained a high place in the leather department, he enters on his sorry repast with a glad heart. Sweet are the rebounds from jeopardy to joy! And he has so much of joy!
Meanwhile, uniting to all his rasher and all his nobler qualities, a profound dissimulation, he appeared to trust implicitly to his Provencal companions; and his first act on entering the Capitol, after the triumphal procession, was to reward with the highest dignities in his gift, Messere Arimbaldo and Messere Brettone de Montreal!
"Why, this," said I, "that we passed some score of them in the meadow below. I saw them plain by the moonlight, and kicked at them to make sure." "I did better," said Mr. Fett; I gathered a dozen or two in my cap, foreseeing breakfast. Faith, and while you have been gadding I might have had added a rasher of bacon. Did you meet any hogs on your way?
Then he got his breakfast, made the tea, packed the bottom of the doors with rugs to shut out the draught, piled a big fire, and sat down to an hour of joy. He toasted his bacon on a fork and caught the drops of fat on his bread; then he put the rasher on his thick slice of bread, and cut off chunks with a clasp-knife, poured his tea into his saucer, and was happy.
Often do the instincts of the lower animals prompt them to an avoidance of danger, where the rasher nature of man impels him towards his doom.
There was something almost awful, too, about the self-possession of the new pupil; who 'troubled' Mr Pecksniff for the loaf, and helped himself to a rasher of that gentleman's own particular and private bacon, with all the coolness in life.
Guil. A small rasher of delicate Bacon, Sirrah of about a Pound, or two, with a small Morsel of Bread round the Loaf, d'ye hear, quickly, Slaves. Ant. That's gross meat, Sir, a pair of Quails or Guil. I thank you for that, i'faith, take your Don again, an you please, I'll not be starv'd for ne'er a Don in Christendom. Ant. But you must study to refine your Manners a little. Guil.
