Or chocolate èclairs made the night stand out. I recall that one could seldom procure a second helping of griddlecakes except on those mornings when there were ants in the syrup. Also, I recall that sometimes there was a great crash of trays at the pantry doors, and almost at the instant two old Goodies, harnessed ready with mops and pails, ran out and sponged up the wreckage.
I'm tired o' seein' the ministers walk up into the pulpit in their slick black broadcloths, and their wives settin' down in the pew in an old black silk that's been turned upside down, wrong side out, and hind part before, and sponged, and pressed, and made over till you can't tell whether it's silk, or caliker, or what.
"If you give them to him, Tom, I'll scratch your eyes out," cried the model; "and then we'll see how you'll sing. Whip him, I say, whip him!" But, strange to say, this liberty of the boy quite reopened the heart of his uncle, it was a pleasure to him, who put his hands so habitually into other people's pockets, to be invested with the novel grandeur of the man sponged upon.
As he came to the last he was conscious of a strong fetid odour, similar to that he had more than once perceived in houses infected by the Plague. "I believe it is drawing it out of me," he said to himself. "I will give it another trial presently." He first sponged himself with vinegar, and felt much refreshed. He then wrapped himself up and lay down for a few minutes, for he felt strangely weak.
I saw no alternative but to stay where I was for the night. This was not very pleasant, but the adventures of the day had put me into a stoical frame of mind, and I saw no good in repining. I unhitched Peg, sponged her foot, and tied her to a tree. I would have made more careful explorations to determine just where I was, but a sharp patter of rain began to fall.
Rather than see so considerable a cipher suddenly sponged out of his visionary ledger, rather than so much money should vanish clean out of the family, Captain Higginbotham had taken what he conceived, if a desperate, at least a certain, step for the preservation of his property. If the golden horn could not be had without the heifer, why, he must take the heifer into the bargain.
But when I found out the terrible time they'd been having, the children sick all summer and Cass down with typhoid why, if it hadn't been for Quin " "So they sponged on him too, did they? He's a bigger fool than I gave him credit for being." "But they didn't sponge. He is Cass's best friend, and he was glad to help. He and Rose did all the nursing themselves." "Yes, I heard about it.
You're in luck's way! Perry tries me at the long Sprint to-day. You understand you're to stop here? Very well then let me go and get my toggery on." "Sha'n't I see you again, Geoffrey?" "Haven't I just told you that you'll see me run?" "Yes but after that?" "After that, I'm sponged and rubbed down and rest in the cottage." "You'll come to us this evening?" He nodded, and left her.
Betty had brought an enveloping white apron and cap with her, and she presented an immaculate little figure as she gently sponged the hands and faces of the old ladies and made their beds tidy and smooth.
To look on the children whom one's own hand has arrayed, the pure skin brightly veined with blue, that one has bathed, laved, and sponged and decked with gay colors of silk or velvet why, there is no poem comes near to it! With what eager, covetous longing one calls them back for one more kiss on those white necks, which, in their simple collars, the loveliest woman cannot rival.
