The warriors in front stepped aside, opening the way to their most approved orator by the action; one who spoke all those languages that were cultivated among the northern aborigines. "The wise Huron is welcome," said the Delaware, in the language of the Maquas; "he is come to eat his 'succotash'*, with his brothers of the lakes." * A dish composed of cracked corn and beans.
There were succotash and baked codfish, a good brown loaf, and pies made of blueberries gathered and dried the summer before. Oh, if only Daniel's mother could have been there to see his table manners on that occasion!
But to Una its few straggly streets were a whole cosmos. She knew somebody in every single house. She knew just where the succotash, the cake-boxes, the clothes-lines, were kept in each of the grocery-stores, and on market Saturdays she could wait on herself. She summed up the whole town and its possibilities; and she wondered what opportunities the world out beyond Panama had for her.
"If thou 'rt the man of it, I 'm the woman, and thou and Zeb will both have to do as I say," retorted Nancy, "or else mayhap I 'll get thee no dinner! Mother said I could make succotash, and thou lov'st that better than anything. Mother said above all things not to let the fire go out, for it would be hard to bring a fire-brand all the way from the village.
Indeed, you do have things good to eat," he added, smacking his lips. "I trust you will relish a bit of wild turkey," said Mr. Newville, as he carved the fowl. "Wild turkey, did you say?" "Yes, my lord. They are plentiful in the forests." Again Lord Upperton smacked his lips. "By Jove, Dapper, it is superb!" he exclaimed. "Will you try some succotash, my lord?" Ruth inquired.
Many families of small fortunes know this, they are quietly living so, but they have not the steadiness to share their daily average living with a friend, a traveler, or guest, just as the Arab shares his tent and the Indian his bowl of succotash. They cannot have company, they say. Why? Because it is such a fuss to get out the best things, and then to put them back again.
"Aunt Jule ain't goin' to boss me," swaggered the youngest. "Ner me, neither!" "Ner me!" "I guess she wouldn't dast try it on me!" boasted the eldest. "You haven't asked us what we came for," opened up Allison as soon as everybody was served with chicken, mashed potato, succotash, stewed tomatoes, biscuits, pickles, and apple-sauce.
I've undertaken to probe clear into the mire. I've got lots of time and there's lots of mire!" "Good. They say the succotash and peaches were all cooked in the same pot, and that our Uncle Mort did the skimming." "So they say; but believe me, I can attack him without doing violence to my professional conscience. White River Canneries was never in the Boordman office to my knowledge.
Pardon me, madam, but I am not a sheep, nor yet quite a savage with a tomahawk. Thank you, but I don't care for any succotash." "Better take some, Upperton. It is positively delicious," said Mr. Dapper, after swallowing a spoonful. Lord Upperton poked the mixture with his spoon and then tasted it. "It isn't so very nasty," he said, and took a second spoonful. "By Jove, it isn't bad at all.
"There you have me again. What a name!" "It is an Indian name, my lord," said Mrs. Adams. "Oh ho! Indian. They told me I should find the people lived like the savages. Succotash! what is it?" "Succotash, my lord, is a mixture of beans and Indian corn." "Beans! beans! Do you eat beans over here?" his lordship asked. "We do, my lord," Mrs.
