And Miss Anna, always move your soup-spoon from you that's better!" "I fancy I shall feel sorry for them," said Montague. "Oh, you needn't," said the other, promptly. "They'll get what they want." "Do you think so?" "Why, certainly they will. They've got the money; and they've been abroad they're learning the game. And they'll keep at it until they succeed what else is there for them to do?
Startled into observation Miriam saw the soup-spoon of her neighbour whisked, dripping, from its plate to the uppermost of Marie's pile and Emma shrinking back with a horrified face against Jimmie who was leaning forward entranced with watching.... The whole table was watching. Marie, having secured Emma's plate to the base of her pile clutched Miriam's spoon.
The young man who has gone out as doctor with Lieutenant 's expedition to the South Pole?" A wave of tender feeling from my childhood came surging up to my throat and I said: "He was the first of my boy friends in fact the only one." The young doctor's eyes sparkled and he looked as if he wanted to throw down his soup-spoon, jump up, and grasp me by both hands.
Penrod abruptly set down his soup-spoon and gazed at his aunt with flattering attention. "Yes; sometimes," said Mrs. Schofield. "She's Penrod's teacher." "Is she?" said Mrs. Farry. "Do you " She paused. "Do people think her a little queer, these days?" "Why, no," returned her sister. "What makes you say that?" "She has acquired a very odd manner," said Mrs. Farry decidedly.
The knives, forks, and spoons, each of which is wiped by the footman with his clean towel, so that no dampness of his own hand shall mar their sparkling cleanliness, are then distributed. These should be all of silver; two knives, three forks, and a soup-spoon being the usual number laid at each plate.
There is a terrible pause you wonder if they say grace and then finally Lucy picks up her soup-spoon for signal and you're off! The conversation is general. That is because Lucy's guests are usually intellectuals, and whatever any one of them says is supposed to be so important that every one else must keep still and listen.
"Our what?" asked Cartwell, entering the room at the last word. He was looking very cool and well groomed in white flannels. Billy Porter stared at the newcomer and dropped his soup-spoon with a splash. "What in thunder!" Rhoda heard him mutter. Jack Newman spoke hastily. "This is Mr. Cartwell, our irrigation engineer, Mr. Porter."
Then she began to eat, deliberately, and with an overemphasised nicety. As she carried her soup-spoon to her lips, Maurice Guest felt that she was observing him; and throughout the meal, of which she ate but little, he was aware of a peculiarly straight and penetrating gaze. It ended by disconcerting him.
The other ladies looked significantly at them, and one of them said, "Don't you think there's something in it? don't you think they are interested in each other?" Mr. King put down his soup-spoon, too much amazed to reply. Do women never think of anything but mating people who happen to be thrown together?
When I returned to the triclinium I found it swept clean of silver, except the two big wine mixers. The four two-handled pails were gone and with them the salt-cellars, the wine strainers, every soup-spoon, every oyster-spoon, in fact every small piece, to the last. The thieves must have been deft, agile and keen, for nothing was overset or disturbed and I had heard no noise.
