He had settled on the sugar-bowl, but at these words he rose in a marked manner and left the table. 'You do not approve? he said. I shrugged my shoulders. 'It's no business of mine, I said. 'But don't you think yourself it was playing it a bit low down? Didn't the thought present itself to you in a shadowy way that it was rather rough on the bird? 'It did, monsieur. But what would you?
The Arabs for a moment retired to a little distance, like flies driven from a sugar-bowl; but it was easy to see that, like the flies, they would return at the first vacant moment. And now they had reached the very foot of the Pyramids and proceeded to dismount from their donkeys.
A Man to Whom Time Was Money, and who was bolting his breakfast in order to catch a train, had leaned his newspaper against the sugar-bowl and was reading as he ate. In his haste and abstraction he stuck a pickle-fork into his right eye, and on removing the fork the eye came with it.
He disna make much count o' giving the Lord your tongue, and ay hauding the De'il by the hand ahint your back. And the o'er gude folks disna like that. They'd liever keep friendly wi' baith." "Then you think the promises were not made to be sat on, Sam?" said I, feeling much diverted with Sam's quaint way of putting things. Sam settled the cream-jug and sugar-bowl before he answered.
"At my age and weight the first is an experiment and the fifth an amiable indiscretion of which I am invariably guilty. Sugar, please." She yawned, and reached a generously-proportioned arm toward the sugar-bowl. "Yes, that will do, Pilkins."
"A pocketful of milk and water would be both delightful and serviceable; but I might take the sugar," I added, with a sudden thought, upsetting the sugar-bowl into a "Boston Journal" which we had bought in the train. "I can never use it, but it will be a consolation to reflect on."
Aunt Nancy resurrected from the bottom of her trunk a white lace cap with a rakish-looking pink bow for an adornment, and fastened it to her scant gray hairs in honor of the occasion. Blossy turned her pink china pig, his lid left up-stairs, into a sugar-bowl. Pink, pink, pink, everywhere; even in Angy's proud cheeks! Pink, and pink, and pink!
"By littles, yes, but not in quantity," pursued Lidgerwood. "'Mony a little makes a mickle, as my old grandfather used to say," McCloskey went on. "If everybody gets his fingers into the sugar-bowl " Lidgerwood swung his chair to face McCloskey. "We'll pass up the petty thieveries, for the present, and look a little higher," he said gravely.
In front was the schloss and the lady of the manor, the honorable Countess herself, on the steps, quite by chance, so it seemed. She led us proudly into the salon. A large bunch of keys hung at her girdle. I wondered why she needed so many! After the coal-bin, wine-vault, and sugar-bowl, and linen-closet had been locked up, what more did she need to lock up?
November 9. . . . The first week is over, and the finances did n't come out right at all. I have a system of bookkeeping which is original, simple, practical, and absolutely reliable. The money for car-fare, clothing, and sundries I keep in an old silver sugar-bowl, and the reserve fund, which we are never to touch save on the most dreadful provocation, in a Japanese ginger-jar with a cover.
