The supper-bell pealed out, and he heard the cow-men answer it. Now was the appointed moment; he might have no other. With cat-like tread he slipped into the sleeping-quarters, returning in a moment with a revolver. He stared thankfully at the weapon better this than dishonor. "Why didn't I think of it before? It's perfectly simple. I'll accidentally shoot myself in the foot."
"Well," he said, "Brown give me and Jonadab a serious talkin' to when he got us alone." "'Now, fellers, he says, 'we know what we've got to do. Nothin'll be too good for this shebang and us if we get that agreement back. Fust place, the thing was done a few minutes after the supper-bell rung.
While I was speaking the supper-bell rang, and I proposed to get her a seat at the table. "No, thank you," she replied, "I shall take no meals on the vessel; I must travel economically, and have prepared some lunch that will serve me. Good by, sir!" Poor mothers looking for dead sons! God help them!
Henderson, the ancient African who attended the two men, knocked upon the shut door with the deprecatory announcement that he had twice rung the supper-bell. "Take the things back to the kitchen, Henderson," said Queed. "I'll ring when we are ready." The breeze was freshening, blowing full upon Surface, who did not appear to notice it. Queed got up and lowered the window.
At 1.55, the 'warning-bell' rings, and the working-parties are again formed. At 2 o'clock, the bell rings, and off they march, and continue working till 6 o'clock, when they are all paraded, wash themselves, and muster for supper. At 6.15 rings the supper-bell; and after supper they are 'allowed outside' from 6.45 till 7.30, when the chaplain reads prayers.
"Why this is quite a mansion," exclaimed the little wife, as she peered out at the house before which the carriage stopped for while the gentility of the establishment was of the proverbial "shabby" variety, the brown-stone porch and pillars gave it an air of unmistakable dignity. Not long after their arrival the supper-bell rang, and they found themselves responding with alacrity.
Right then, too, I made up my mind that I was going to get ground bone to plant at the roots of all the peonies if I had to use my own skeleton to do it and would only see them bloom with astral eyes. I was still reading when the supper-bell rang, and was only interested in reminiscences of Grandmother Nelson during the meal. "No, ma'am, Miss Caroline, you got it wrong.
Saurin and Edwards lodged at the same tutors, and they went up to the room of the latter without attracting attention. Here Edwards, under the other's directions, washed his face, cleaned his teeth, changed his jacket and neck-tie, and put some scented pomatum on his hair, and then lay down on his bed till the supper-bell should ring. "I shall not be able to eat," he remonstrated.
Are they fit for mental labor? Far from it. But look at the difference here: after dinner here one is as light as a gossamer. One walks with pleasure, reads with pleasure, writes with pleasure nay, there is the supper-bell going at ten o'clock, and plenty of eaters, too.
I doubt ef any of 'em has ever left 'thout passin' the name on not knowin' positive, but thess jedgin'. None o' mine ain't, I know, leastwise none of my direc' ancestors they couldn't have, an' me here, an' Sonny. Don't jump, doctor! That's the supper-bell. 'Tis purty loud, but that's on account o' my mother-in-law.
