"Enough," replied Starbuck, "only don't hit him again, but-" "Oh, I never hurt when I hit, except when I hit a whale or something of that sort; and this fellow's a weazel. What were you about saying, sir?" "Only this: go down with him, and get what thou wantest thyself." When Stubb reappeared, he came with a dark flask in one hand, and a sort of tea-caddy in the other.
Filling a saucepan from the pump, she got the tea-caddy out of a cupboard, and then paused in the middle of the room, staring out into the gathering dusk. Neither doors nor windows in the ranch-house were ever locked, and, save on really cold nights, they were rarely even closed.
Most unluckily as it afterward turned out instead of taking the pocketbook to the tea-caddy, I went into my room first to take the tea-caddy to the pocketbook. I only acted in this roundabout way from sheer thoughtlessness, and severely enough I was punished for it, as you will acknowledge yourself when you have read a page or two more of my story.
She refitted the cover, and then opening a closet, took from it a lacquered Chinese tea-caddy and a silver urn, and proceeded to arrange the tea-table. Mr. Norton, observing her attentively with his keen, gray eyes, asked, "How long has your father lived in this place, my child?"
Punt and her son had escaped across the road, the son trailing and stumbling at the end of a remorseless arm, but Uncle Pentstemon, encumbered by the tea-caddy, was the centre of a little circle of his own, and appeared to be dratting them all very heartily. Remoter, a policeman approached with an air of tranquil unconsciousness. "Steady, you idiot. Stead-y!" cried Mr.
A half-gone set of egg-shell china stood in the parlor-closet, cups, and teapot, and sugar-bowl, rimmed with brown and gold in a square pattern, and a shield without blazon on the side; the quaint tea-caddy with its stopper stood over against the pursy little cream-pot, and held up in its lumps of sparkling sugar the oddest sugar-tongs, also a family relic; beside this, six small spoons, three large ones, and a little silver porringer comprised all the "plate" belonging to Miss Manners, so that no fear of burglars haunted her, and but for her pets she would have lived a life of profound and monotonous tranquillity.
I thought with a certain repugnance of the little store my mother was probably making for the rent. She was very secretive about that, and it was locked in an old tea-caddy in her bedroom.
"It was a deeply interesting sermon," he said. "Thank you," said Chichester, very impersonally. The footman went away, and Lady Sophia began to make tea. "When I went home," Malling continued, "I sat up till late thinking it over. Part of it suggested to my mind one or two rather curious speculations." "Which part?" asked Lady Sophia, dipping a spoon into a silver tea-caddy.
They thought they could lay out this money to better advantage than the safe family adviser 'uncle John, with his talk of the Indian railways and a guaranteed five per cent. Frank D at a high rate of interest, and by this time would perhaps be glad to get the money back again in the tea-caddy. But Frank was not the man to be satisfied with such small game.
Mariotte had made galettes of buckwheat, the baroness produced a tea-caddy. The illustrious house of du Guenic served a little supper before the departure of its guests, consisting of fresh butter, fruits, and cream, in addition to Mariotte's cakes; for which festal event issued from their wrappings a silver teapot and some beautiful old English china sent to the baroness by her aunts.
