In a small wayside cottage in the outskirts of one of those picturesque villages which surround London, an old woman sat at the head of a small deal table, with a black teapot, a brown sugar-basin, a yellow milk jug, and a cracked tea-cup before her.
'I am afraid you are right, said Selina; 'and WHERE ARE THEY NOW? 'Downstairs, no doubt, collecting the silver milk-jug and sugar-basin and the punch-ladle that was Uncle Joe's, and Aunt Jerusha's teaspoons. I shall go down. 'Oh, don't be so rash and heroic, said Selina. 'Amelia, we must call the police from the window. Lock the door. I WILL I will
Matrona Semyonovna garrulously praised and thanked Kolosov; Varvara sat silent, pouring out the tea, glanced at him now and then, and with timid shame-faced attentiveness handed him first a cup of tea, then the cream, then the sugar-basin. Meanwhile the lieutenant waked up, loudly called for his pipe, and after a short pause bawled: 'Sister! hi, sister! Matrona Semyonovna went to his bedroom.
In some the monotonous years come first, while others have a long breathing space of quiet remembrance before they go hence and are no more seen. A child will take a fly and introduce him to the sugar-basin. He will then pull off his wings in order to see what he will do without them.
When the meal was over, one of the girls took the sugar-basin, beat down the sugar in it flat and hard with the spoon, did a design on the top, and put it away. "What's that for?" Beth asked. "That's so that we shall know our own again," Rosa answered. "But it never lasts the proper time." "What do you do when it's done?" said Beth. "Do without," was the laconic rejoinder.
A rainy day, during which the digging of the tank could not be proceeded with, gave occasion for some observations on the actions of a number of ants, which had made a way into his bedroom, climbed upon a table on which some sugar usually stood, and taken possession of the sugar-basin.
'Aesthetic tea always on tap here, sir; will you have a flowing bowl or a bit of ambrosia? asked Laurie, who was wandering about with a sugar-basin in one hand and a plate of cake in the other; for sweetening cups and feeding the hungry was work he loved.
And in human aid this applies as well, which that domestic goddess, the managing female of the family, would do well to remember. The gods had hitherto not been interested in Cartoner, and, like the fly on the nursery window that has escaped notice, he had been allowed to crawl about and make his own small life, with the result that he had never found the sugar-basin and had retained his wings.
Only this very day ... if it hadn't been for the fog ... Dave would have got the last halfpenny out of his rabbit to buy a sugar-basin on the stall in the road ... and he's saving it for a surprise for Dolly ... when the fog goes...." "Is Susan Burr upstairs with them?" "No she's gone out to Yardley's for some thread. She's all right. She's walking a lot better."
Tommy's fingers, having incontinently strayed in the direction of the sugar-basin, are summarily slapped for their indiscretion, and an admonition is straightway delivered to him in forcible language concerning the pains and penalties which threaten the ulterior destiny of naughty little boys in general and of such of them in particular who are specially addicted to the abstraction of lumps of sugar from the breakfast-table.
