"It's splendid cream," cried the three little girls. "May we help make it?" "I wonder whether Molly will let us use her cream skimmers," said Mary. Molly heard her name and came to the kitchen door to see what mischief those blessed children were up to now. She saw the pans on a seat built round a big maple tree and the four little girls bobbing about, very busy indeed.
Rock-oil in Eighteen Hundred Fifty-eight was worth twenty dollars a barrel. Lumbermen out of a job turned skimmers, and often collected a barrel a day, becoming as it were members of the cult known as the Predatory Rich. This is what tempted Colonel Drake to bore his well, and see if he might possibly strike the vein that was making the skimmers turn octopi.
He has entrenched his gains behind acknowledged barriers, and he preaches their sanctity, because they favor his selfishness. We skimmers of the sea " Alida started so suddenly, as to cause her companion to cease speaking. "Are my words frightful, that you pale at their sound?" "I hope they were used rather in accident, than with their dreaded meaning. I would not have it said no!
There are some household appointments which, like some of the brass skimmers, platters, engraved foot and hand warmers, chestnut roasters, and the like, have always served the double purpose of use and ornament.

It will readily be understood that the necessary basting of meat roasting before the fire involved the use of ladles and other utensils before the modern cooking appliances were invented. Most of the old vessels were strong and lasting, and the materials employed in their construction were iron, copper, and brass. To these may be added basting spoons and skimmers, in many places called "skummers."
To be made a "woman" is the greatest degradation of a warrior. Se-quo-yah first exercised his genius in making an improved kind of wooden milk-pans and skimmers for his mother. Then he built her a milk-house, with all suitable conveniences, on one of those grand springs that gurgle from the mountains of the old Cherokee Nation.
"Molly, will you please let us have the skimmers?" Peggy cried. "Well," replied Molly, "as it's clean dirt you're making I suppose I must." So Mary and Betty made the cream rise, and Dot and Peggy skimmed it and poured it into bottles and old cans to "sell." While they were in the midst of the fun, Red Chief, the proudest rooster in the farmyard, came strutting along.
The river, still of imposing width, flowed through a channel in the center of the sandy wastes but bore little resemblance to its former awe-inspiring grandeur. Flocks of gulls and skimmers flew shrieking and wheeling in masses overhead or ran excitedly over the sand.
