Christmas-day came it was the invariable custom of the family to receive the sacrament. Before church-time she sent for her husband. She had a sin on her conscience she must confess before she could go to the altar. Her husband was surprised. "What is it?" "You must promise not to be very angry." "But what is it? Have you broken my grandmother's china tea-pot?" "Oh! worse than that."
'That tea-set, said Jim, placidly pointing to a gorgeous china service and a large silver tea-pot on the side table, 'I don't use at present, being a bachelor-man; but, says I to myself, "whoever I marry will want some such things for giving her parties; or I can sell em" but I haven't took steps for't yet 'Sell 'em no, I should think not, said Margery with earnest reproach.
At a small table, lighted by a thin tallow candle, sat old Monsoon, who, the weather being hot, had neither coat nor wig on; an old cracked china tea-pot, in which as we found afterwards he had mixed a little grog, stood before him, and a large mass of papers lay scattered around on every side, he himself being occupied in poring over their contents, and taking occasional draughts from his uncouth goblet.
She saw him start and shove back his chair saw Lucretia go to the stove and lift the tea-pot, and heard her say, as she took her seat beside the baby: "Want some more tea?" She had become a wife and mother again, but in what spirit the puzzled girl could not say. In mystery of town and play The splendid lady lives alway, Inwrought with starlight, winds and streams.
"Bless his 'art, he wouldn't see, nor he wouldn't scold. Ef it were rinsings of the tea-pot he would drink it instead of soup; and I say, and always will say, that ef a cook don't jelly the soup for the like of a gentleman like the doctor what have no mean ways and no fusses, she ain't fit to call herself a cook." So just because they loved him, Dr.
All is arranged a frying-pan, a brown-ware tea-pot, a skin of lard, a cock and a hen, to lay some eggs; a hundredweight of ship biscuits, warranted free from weevil, and a knife and fork. Also a way to the sea, and a net, for them to fish together. Nothing more delightful can be imagined.
It seemed that the counter lady took a lenient view of the case, for in less than four minutes the waitress returned and gloomily deposited on the table before me a tea-pot, a milk-jug, a cup and saucer, a jug of hot water, and a small pool of milk. Then she once more departed in dudgeon.
Do you see, Samantha?" sez he, proudly and loftily. "Yes," sez I, as I filled up my tea-pot, for the water had at last biled. "Yes, I see." And I spoze he thought he had convinced me, for he acted high headeder and haughtier for as much as an hour and a half. And I didn't say anything to break it up, for I see he had stated it jest as he and all his sect looked at it, and good land!
Mamma took the admired treasure in her hand, as Fred desired; and as she did so, a smile that had hovered about her mouth grew deeper and deeper; and finally her amusement burst forth in a hearty laugh. Fred seized his prize indignantly, and after washing it with the greatest care, found himself in possession of the spout of an old crockery tea-pot.
"If I put it into the tea-pot, it might be wasted; he might not drink all the tea. He never lets me pour it out for him. Would it alter the look of the milk?" "Not at all." "Then I could put it into his cream-jug, and give him so little that he's sure to use it all and ring for more. He likes a deal of milk in his tea." "Then you will do it, Sabina?" Again Sabina hesitated.
