Silas Peckham bowed with great alacrity, and took from the table a small glass cup, containing a fluid reddish in hue and subacid in taste. This was srub, a beverage in local repute, of questionable nature, but suspected of owing its tint and sharpness to some kind of syrup derived from the maroon-colored fruit of the sumac.
On the large island of Tanqui there was scarcely one cleared spot, the trees on every side extending their branches over the sea-beach. The inhabitants eat the stalks, which are subacid, and tan leather with the roots, and prepare a black dye from them. The leaf is nearly circular, but deeply indented on its margin.
For the life of me I could not help feeling glad that they were turned on me and not on Dale Kynnersley. Almost immediately the elder Miss Bostock came up to claim the Colonel for bridge. He rose reluctantly. "I suppose it's no use asking you to make a fourth, Mr. de Gex?" she asked, after the subacid manner of her kind. "I'm afraid not," I replied sweetly.
It is eaten boiled or roasted, and has a pleasant subacid taste. Like the potato, it is multiplied by means of its bulbs cut in pieces. There are several species of this plant; one of which called red culle, is much used in dyeing, and Is considered as a specific remedy for inflammatory fevers. Two species of gourds are known in Chili.
The people call rhubarb "pie-plant;" and this term suggests its best and most common use, although when cooked as if it were a fruit, it is very grateful at a season when we begin to crave the subacid in our food. Its cultivation is very simple.
Wadman's door, they both faced about and march'd down the avenue diametrically opposite to his expectation he broke out at once with that little subacid soreness of humour, which, in certain situations, distinguished his character from that of all other men. 'Now what can their two noddles be about? cried my father...&c.... I dare say, said my mother, they are making fortifications Not on Mrs.
Vessons and Hazel were spending the afternoon quarrelling about the bees. When Reddin was away, Hazel put off her new dignity and was Vessons' equal, because it was so dull to be anything else. Vessons tolerated her presence for the sake of the subacid remarks it enabled him to make, but chiefly because of the sardonic pleasure it gave him to remember how soon his resolve would be put into action.
Nothing but the fermentation of that little subacid humour, which I have often spoken of, in my father's habit, could have vented such an insinuation he was however frank and generous in his nature, and at all times open to conviction; so that he had scarce got to the last word of this ungracious retort, when his conscience smote him.
Of such there are some who, by the hot-house assiduities of their friends, heating them with sulphurous stoves, and watering them with subacid solutions, ripen into insufferable prigs. For them and for their families it is well that Death the gardener should speedily remove them into the open air.
Bessie's manner was not less charming, but it was much more intrepid, and at intervals there was a strain of fun in it of mischief and mockery. Was it the subacid flavor of girlish caprice, which might very well subsist in combination with her sweetness, or was it sheer insensibility?
