The captain offered the sugar-basin to Timéa; she could not manage the tongs. "Take the sugar with your pretty little white hand," said he to the girl, who was so confused that she put the lump into the tumbler instead of the coffee cup. No one had ever told her that she had a pretty white hand.
"You have come straight from the Court, sir?" said Phoebe, as she handed Robert the sugar-basin. "Yes; I only left my uncle's an hour ago." "And my lady, sir, was she quite well?" "Yes, quite well." "As gay and light-hearted as ever, sir?" "As gay and light-hearted as ever." Phoebe retired respectfully after having given Mr.
Jim in some astonishment did as commanded, and elevating his pocket- book against the garden-wall, thoroughly moistened his pencil, and wrote at the Baron's dictation: 'Pair of silver candlesticks: inlaid work-table and work-box: one large mirror: two small ditto: one gilt china tea and coffee service: one silver tea-pot, coffee-pot, sugar-basin, jug, and dozen spoons: French clock: pair of curtains: six large pictures.
His hostess entered bearing a tray, which held a teapot, cups, a large loaf of bread, and some butter, and a milk-jug and sugar-basin. She plumped it down on the table. "Mrs. Brigg wouldn't make toast," she explained. "And I didn't like to keep you." "Let's make some ourselves," said Julian, with a happy inspiration.
No length of experience taught Mrs. Lake wisdom in reference to the Cheap Jack. Each time that his cart appeared in sight she resolved to have nothing to do with him, warned by the latest cracked jug, or the sugar-basin which, after three-quarters of an hour wasted in chaffering, she had beaten down to three-halfpence dearer than what she afterwards found to be the shop price in the town.
The sister who brought her gave also a silver tea-pot, sugar-basin, and cream-jug, of the weight of forty-eight ounces, having found true riches in Christ. There was also in the boxes nine shillings. One of the laborers paid for a ton of coals. We obtained sixteen pounds sixteen shillings for the silver articles. Thus we were helped through the heavy expenses of the following days. Oct. 12.
And there sat the mouse in the sugar-basin. She had forgotten the time and gone to sleep. And there she was! Of course, she was terribly frightened; and it was worse still when the girl put out her hand over the sugar-basin, as if to catch her: "So there you are, Mousie!" she said. "I thought it was you that was after my sugar! Apart from that, you're a nice little thing.
Johnny, dear, come here tell me now what's the letter A? You were singing it in the garden this morning." "I want some sugar," replied Johnny, stretching his arm over the table to the sugar-basin, which was out of his reach. "Well, my love, you shall have a great lump if you will tell me what's the letter A." "A was an archer, and shot at a frog," replied Johnny in a surly tone.
He was for some time in a state of insensibility, and I, having the charge of his establishment, had thus an opportunity of observing the workings of slavery. When a master is ill, the slaves run riot among the eatables. I did not know this until I observed that every time the sugar-basin came to the table it was empty.
It was agreed that I should get a considerable quantity of sugar powdered; that I should always have some papers of it in my bag, and that three or four times a day, when alone in the Queen's room, I should substitute it for that in her sugar-basin. We knew that the Queen would have prevented all such precautions, but we were not aware of her reason.
