"At night? how did you know that? But it is not always study." "No. You consume also a good deal of beef and mutton, now-a- days? you prefer substantials in food as in everything else?" I looked at my guardian, very much surprised that he should see all this in my face, and with a little of my childish fascination about those steady blue eyes.
The table to which they immediately addressed themselves was, as may be thought, rich in the substantials and delicacies favorite in the East in cakes hot from the oven, vegetables from the gardens, meats singly, compounds of meats and vegetables, milk of kine, and honey and butter all eaten or drunk, it should be remarked, without any of the modern accessories knives, forks, spoons, cups, or plates; and in this part of the repast but little was said, for they were hungry.
Of the local productions we had many substantials, till all appetites were satisfied. According to Russian custom the host does not partake of the dinner, but is supposed to look after the welfare of his guests. At Kiachta I found this branch of etiquette carefully observed. Two or three times during the dinner the host passed around the entire table and filled each person's glass with wine.
Will mere prudence, without a divine right, be a sufficient basis to erect the whole frame of church government upon, as some conceive? Prudentials, according to general rules of Scripture, may be of use in circumstantials, but will bare prudentials in substantials also satisfy either our God, our covenant, our consciences, or our end in this great work of reformation?
B., with the cream, strawberries, and many substantials, for breakfast. June 22. B. has a tip-top horse, strong, young, and both gentle and fast.
A great proportion of architectural ornaments are literally hollow, and a September gale would strip them off, like borrowed plumes, without injury to the substantials. They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.
This gentleman is decidedly "one of the boys," and goes in for a "good time." At his suggestion, a committee was appointed to descend to the kitchen and bring up provisions. Ned Abbot and Bill Ball performed this duty in the most admirable and satisfactory manner. They departed for the lower regions, and soon returned laden both with substantials and delicacies.
In addition to exports, on a large scale, of wool, horses, timber, and metals, these articles of commerce are not undeserving of attention, but they should not be brought so prominently forward as to form the principal feature in the trade of the colony. Wine and fruit countries are always poor countries; let us think of substantials first, and of wine and fruit only by way of dessert.
Owning its own ranch in the mountains where milk, cream, butter, eggs, poultry and game are plentiful, the table at Moana Villa is provided with all the substantials and luxuries, cooked and served in home style. One great advantage is offered to guests at Moana Villa, viz.: they may divide their time between it and Rubicon Springs, as both are under the same ownership and management.
His rotundity to the contrary notwithstanding, he was ravaged by a gnawing dyspepsia, and the sight of six eggs eaten as a side dish to substantials carried consternation to his interior. So busily engaged was each after his own fashion that nobody observed the approach of a solitary figure down the highway of the river.
