Bellingham; "we will enjoy the sweets of poverty, as you say we have sampled the other kind of thing pretty freely and do ourselves the pleasure of accepting a great kindness, most delicately offered." "Thank you," said Thorndyke. "You have justified my faith in you, Miss Bellingham, and in the power of Doctor Berkeley's salt. I understand that you place your affairs in my hands?"
Judith was the last to arrive, so they all crowded into her room and sampled Aunt Nell's Christmas cake thoughtfully provided for the occasion and the big box of chocolates which Josephine's brother had sent.
In that luckless fortnight he had acquired a taste for young pheasants, had picked up a few fat pigeon-squabs belonging to the last broods of the year, and had sampled sundry articles of diet frogs, slugs, snails, a young hedgehog or two, and a squirrel that, overcome with inquisitiveness, descended from the tree-tops to inspect the young fox as he dozed among the bilberries carpeting the forest floor.
Travers and I lolled over the bulwarks, and laughed and sampled the contents of an aqua-vitæ bottle, "Special Jury" whisky from Ireland, and I learned that this ill-assorted pair had been sharing some close hazards on their audacious cruiser. A few days previously they had been chased by El Aspirante, a Spanish gun-boat, which gave them eight shots.
And before the hour was out the reason for the Captain's uneasiness was common property throughout the ship. Having sampled the delights of off-world herbs, the Salariki were determined to not be cut off from their source of supply.
They argued that the final release of the world for settlement should not be given until the full year on Warlock had been sampled. But the pressure of Emigrant Control had forced their hands, that and the fear of just what had eventually happened an attack from the Throgs. So they had speeded up the process of declaring Warlock open.
Old-timers, it was said, whose very names were forgotten in the frosts of earlier years, had dived into the icy waters of Surprise Lake and fetched lump-gold to the surface in both hands. At different times, parties of old-timers had penetrated the forbidding fastness and sampled the lake's golden bottom. But the water was too cold. Some died in the water, being pulled up dead.
Glad were we, and probably gladder still our weary horses, to draw up before the uninviting-looking dâk bungalow, knowing that only thirty-five miles of level and open road lay now between us and Srinagar. The dâk bungalow of Baramula is, upon the whole, the worst we have yet sampled. Strolling out to have a look at the town of Baramula, I shivered to see a heap of snow piled up against the wall.
Saunders occasionally sampled the contents of some of the "original packages" which, bearing the name and address of a Boston wholesale liquor dealer, came to him by express at irregular intervals. It was also reported, probably by unreliable total abstainers, that during these "sampling" seasons his temper was not of the best. Perhaps Mrs.
Hen had none, but I volunteered to trust him. "Go on now, guess!" said he. "Pirtas an' broth!" said I. "Yer blinked, ye cabbage head, we've got two yards ov thripe forby!" I carried two quarts to as many neighbors. Mary carried three. As they were settling down to dinner Arthur Gainer arrived with his mother's contribution. Jamie sampled it and laughed outright.
