As he worked over Williams a great pity filled his heart, for Tad knew only too well that he had been anything but a happy man. The tunnel had been driven very rapidly without proper trussing, and it seemed to Tad that the entire dyke must have been shaken by the blasts that had caused Mr. Thornton's death years before. Without a second's notice the shaly rock had given a little, then caved in.
But I forgot all this directly, as I stepped out, where I found Lomax standing up as stiff as a ramrod, and with a walking cane thrust under his arms and behind his back, trussing him like a chicken, so as to throw out his chest. He saluted me in military fashion. "Mornin', sir. Your trooper's waiting. Looks a nice, clever little fellow." "Trooper?" I faltered in a disappointed tone.
The most important of these were: The moving of the forward main crosspiece of the frame to the extreme front edge; the encasing in the cloth of all crosspieces and ribs of the surfaces; a rearrangement of the wires used in trussing the two surfaces together, which rendered it possible to tighten all the wires by simply shortening two of them.
Spoons, skewers, vegetable-cutters, and any other small conveniences used at this table, such as potato-slicer, larding and trussing needles, &c.; A chopping-knife and wooden tray or bowl; Rolling-pin, and bread and pastry board; Narrow-bladed, very sharp knife for paring, the French cook-knife being the best ever invented for this purpose.
For the same reason, long before she could read aloud to her mother intelligibly, she had learnt all that Harriet could teach her, not only of the house-work, but of the cooking, from cleaning a fish and trussing a fowl to making barley-broth and puff-pastry.
A turkey having been relieved from strings and skewers used in trussing should be placed on the table with the head or neck at the carver's right hand. An expert carver places the fork in the turkey, and does not remove it until the whole is divided.
