If her husband's route lies along the richer streets she will have by way of tidbit for dessert a piece of chewy velvet, sugared and buttered to a tenderness. But what is this jingling racket that comes upon the street? Bless us, it's a hurdy-gurdy. The hurdy-gurdy, I need hardly tell you, belongs to the organ family.
Far and near the land was dotted with slowly-moving cattle, nipping gratefully at the succulent grass tips, their formerly lank and rough-haired flanks distended with the young year's generous bounty. In the barnyards was a scurrying of yellow balls of down as the clucking hens told of some juicy tidbit wriggling for their delectation.
"I am James Quincy Holden," he told her, "and you have neither the authority nor the agility necessary to prevent my entrance." "You are I what?" "I live here," he told her flatly. "Or didn't they provide you with this tidbit of vital statistic?" Wheels rotated behind the girl's eyes somewhere, and memory cells linked into comprehension. "Oh! You're James." "I said that first," he replied.
This tale was a delicious tidbit for Didama and the "daily advertisers," but, after all, it was a mere side dish compared to Mr. Ellery's astonishing behavior. That he, the minister of the Regular church, should risk his life, risk dying of the smallpox, to help a stranger and a common sailor, was incomprehensible. Didama, at least, could not understand it, and said so.
"Does he intend to eat them?" "Oh no; though I have no doubt they would be very good." "Their flesh is delicious," interposed Sumichrast; "the wing especially is a tidbit which I can highly recommend." But my friend could not keep a serious face when he saw Lucien's frightened look; so his joke partly failed in its effect. L'Encuerado entered the cave on tiptoe.
For an instant he stood silent and motionless as one of the mangy effigies at home, but only for an instant. Then, with a most ferocious roar, and without the slightest hesitancy or warning, he charged upon me. He forsook the prey already dead beneath him for the pleasures of the delectable tidbit, man.
Won over at last by her constancy, or by his own greed, "Bossie" ventured near enough to snatch the proffered tidbit; then off he scampered, in ungrateful haste, mouthing the delicate morsel. A sigh of relief and satisfaction went up from the little figure, while one small hand gravely rubbed and kneaded the arm which had so pluckily maintained its uncomfortable position.
I would rather tread on Mrs. Grundy's pet corn than not, she may howl on her to her heart's content." On August 24th Burton says, "Please keep up in Vol. v. this literality in which you began. My test is that every Arab word should have its equivalent English. ...Pity we can't manage to end every volume with a tidbit!
When they take any beaver they bring it home, skin it, stretch the skins on sticks to dry, and feast upon the flesh. The body, hung up before the fire, turns by its own weight, and is roasted in a superior style; the tail is the trapper's tidbit; it is cut off, put on the end of a stick, and toasted, and is considered even a greater dainty than the tongue or the marrow-bone of a buffalo.
A tidbit to the serpent was a man, but he did not get one in half a century. Not long did the boys remain even in a harborage so distant. Each fled homeward with his story. It was with scant breath, when they reached their respective caves, that the boys told the story of the dread which had invaded the marsh-land.
