He is dead, said Obadiah, he is certainly dead! So am not I, said the foolish scullion. Here is sad news, Trim, cried Susannah, wiping her eyes as Trim stepp'd into the kitchen, master Bobby is dead and buried the funeral was an interpolation of Susannah's we shall have all to go into mourning, said Susannah. I hope not, said Trim. You hope not! cried Susannah earnestly.
Mallum? His Hindustani was very limited, and the ruffled and disgusted Kim intended to keep to the character laid down for him. As he recovered his breath he was inventing a beautifully plausible tale of his relations to some scullion, and at the same time keeping a keen eye on and a little under the Chaplain's left arm-pit.
Those who are brought up on such a diet can no more attain to wisdom than a kitchen scullion can attain to a keen sense of smell or avoid stinking of the grease. With your indulgence, I will speak out: you teachers are chiefly responsible for the decay of oratory.
How then could these old dotards be able to understand aright the text of the laws who never in their time had looked upon a good Latin book, as doth evidently enough appear by the rudeness of their style, which is fitter for a chimney-sweeper, or for a cook or a scullion, than for a jurisconsult and doctor in the laws?
At first I got work at a café in Viareggio, but when the season ended, and I was thrown out of employment, I managed to work my way from Genoa to London. My first place was scullion in a restaurant in Tottenham Court Road, and then I became waiter in the beer-hall at the Monico, and managed to save sufficient to send Armida the money to join me here.
But Signor Faliero was as ignorant as they, and he had, in his turn, to make inquiry of the chief servant. When the company learned that the lion was the work of a scullion, Faliero summoned the boy, and the banquet became a sort of celebration in his honor. But it was not enough to praise a lad so gifted.
Desperately grasping at even the most forlorn hope, the perplexed servant gave the boy permission to try his hand at making a centerpiece. Calling for some butter, with nimble fingers and the skill of a practiced sculptor, in a short time the little scullion molded the figure of a crouching lion.
No sad regrets my heart annoy, I'll pray for all your peace and joy, From master high, to scullion boy, For all your loves to PAMELA. One thing or two I've more to say; God's holy will, be sure, obey; And for our master always pray, As ever shall poor PAMELA. For, oh! we pity should the great, Instead of envying their estate; Temptations always on 'em wait, Exempt from which are such as we.
Our animated mood rose higher and higher. A storm of applause greeted the first course. The student filled the guest's plate to the brim. At last the harmonious rattle of the spoons replaced the laughing and talking. 'Excellent, was the universal verdict. My scullion was in raptures and loudly assented; finally he too became silent and applied himself like us to his plate.
"How much do you earn a day?" he once asked a little scullion, as incognito he entered the royal kitchen. "By God's grace as much as the King," replied the lad; "I earn my bread and he can do no more." So pleased was the King with this saying that it made the speaker's fortune.
