Even then it required pretty close "spooning" together so close in fact that all sleeping along one side would have to turn at once. It was funny to watch this operation. All, for instance, would be lying on their right sides. They would begin to get tired, and one of the wearied ones would sing out to the Sergeant who was in command of the row "Sergeant: let's spoon the other way."
Such lovespoons might, a few years ago, have been seen in many Welsh homes, where they hung as things of ornament and sentiment, for it is said they were given in "spooning" days to the girl of his choice by the lover. The handle is of course the appropriate field of decoration, the double bowl being symbolic of "We two are one."
"Doesn't care about the spooning bee," replied Kent. "Proper is Lydia's middle name," commented Gustus. "Lydia is absolutely O. K.," said Charlie. "Bet your life," agreed Kent. "Get your big head over, Gustus, and give me a piece of Margery's knee." "Darn it," said Charlie, "Lydia's left the tent flap up. We might as well go to bed." Which, after another song or two, they did.
"Then," said Deborah, and as she spoke she began spooning out the toast gravy into a bowl with a curious stiff turn of her wrist and a superfluous vigor of muscle, as if it were molten lead instead of milk; and, indeed, she might, from the look in her face, have been one of her female ancestors in the times of the French and Indian wars, casting bullets with the yells of savages in her ears "then," said she, "I sha'n't have any child but Ephraim left, that's all!"
We've got to get on and find something to eat. Jist at present, wittles is more to the point than spooning." Bill Branigan was an original. An Irish-American, he was earning good wages in one of the Chicago stockyards when the gold rush to Alaska began. Attacked like many others with the get-rich-quick fever, he went to the Yukon, and later found his way to Goldfield, Nevada, where he met Madison.
"Here's your turkey," pointed out the boy, giving the old man his first spoonful of cereal. "My goodness, did y' ever see such a drumstick! Now another! 'cause, gee! you'll be starved 'fore ever we git t' Niaggery! Mm! but ain't that turkey fine?" "Mm! Mm!" agreed the veteran. "Mister Buckle, I'll take some soda and some popcorn," went on Johnnie, spooning out his own saucer of oatmeal.
Of course I knew long ago that it must have been lost," continued the old gentleman, speaking his thoughts more to himself than to the housekeeper, who was carefully spooning up the spilt coffee, "but the best of it is that the Captain has escaped."
He stared for a moment at the destruction he had made, and then went back to the revision of the time-table, with a mutter about "silly spooning." That was one mood. The rarer one. Indeed he spent more time meditating the letter to her than even the schedule of his virtues had required.
What time is it? nearly night again, I hope." "Oh, no, it's only about eleven; they're all gone to meeting. I made 'em leave you in my care. Adah would have stayed, but mother told her she was to go. Emily Warren's grandfather wanted to go spooning off in the woods, but she made him go to meeting too. I don't see how she ever came to like him, with his grand airs."
"There's large thirsts on Bear Creek. Lin McLean will pass on ducks." "Lin's not thirsty this month." "Signed for one month, has he?" "Signed! He's spooning our schoolmarm!" "They claim she's a right sweet-faced girl." "Yes; yes; awful agreeable. And next thing you're fooled clean through." "Yu' don't say!"
