Though the table was covered with oilcloth and the rough-hewn logs of the outer walls were lime-plastered only in the chinks, the seats were chairs instead of benches, and between the gay Mexican serape drapes of the clean windows hung several well-done water color landscapes, appropriately framed in unbarked pine. On the oiled deal floor were scattered half a dozen Navajo rugs.
Not a soul in the race of Ajamida ever entertains hatred for them excepting this vile, capricious, dull-headed Duryodhana, and excepting also the still more mean-minded Karna. These two always enhance the energy of those high-souled ones who have been divested of both friends and happiness. Enterprising and brought up in every indulgence, Duryodhana reckons all that to be well-done.
Mutton, ten minutes to the pound for rare; fifteen for well-done. Lamb, a very little less according to age and size of roast. Veal, twenty minutes to a pound. Pork, half an hour to a pound. Turkey of eight or ten pounds weight, not less than three hours. Goose of seven or eight pounds, two hours. Chickens, from an hour to an hour and a half. Tame ducks, one hour.
Already he was beginning to feel the tug of his people's need the world old need of sympathy and inspiration, of courage and cheer; the need of the soldier for the battle-cry of his comrades, the need of the striving runner for the lusty shout of his friends, the need of the toiling servant for the "well-done" of his master.
And in our beginning and ending with this, stood our comfort, service, and edification. And as we ran faster, or fell short in our services, we made burdens for ourselves to bear; finding in ourselves a rebuke instead of an acceptance; and, in lieu of "Well-done," "Who has required this at your hands?" In that day we were an exercised people, our very countenances and deportment declared it.
Charles and Anna having some fresh foreign postage-stamps, arranged them in a book according to the different countries from whence they came, and were preparing a short account of each a plan their father had recommended, so as to give an interest to this otherwise very useless pursuit. "This must surely be American," said Anna, holding up a stamp. "How like a well-done photograph is the head.
Don't give the servant's room the look of a perpetual rummage sale by making it a dumping ground for old defaced pictures, furniture, and bric-a-brac. Remember that it is her only haven of rest, and have it restful, if only for selfish reasons, for renewed bodily vigor means well-done work and a made-over disposition.
And if I am killed, they won't even say 'Well-done, good and faithful servant. So, let's not argue the point. Are you going to stand by me or back out?" Barnes was shamed. "I'll stand by you," he said, and they stole forward. The utmost caution was observed in the approach to the house through the thin, winding paths that Barnes remembered from an earlier visit.
Sometimes he will reappear in Sheboygan or in the wilds of Terre Haute, calling himself one of the synonyms of "Smith," and without memory of events up to a certain time, including his grocer's bill. Sometimes it will be found, after dragging the rivers, and polling the restaurants to see if he may be waiting for a well-done sirloin, that he has moved next door.
Guests are consulted as to their preference for "rare" or "well-done;" and the meat, in thin slices, is served on hot plates, with vegetables at discretion on the same plate, separate vegetable dishes except for salads not being used on private dinner tables.
