Pastor Ortler was at home with the monks, and hardly had we thawed ourselves before the ample fireplace, when a supper was prepared, and over their well-spread tables the monks told stories of travellers lost among the granite heights, with clefts and ledges filled with ice.
So saying, the skipper dived down the poop ladder, we two after him, when we found a well-spread table below, the sight of which pleased Sam as much as the appearance of my bunk although, mind you, only on account of his interest in me, as there wasn't a bit of the gourmand about him. "See, my laddie," said he, nudging me, and speaking in a whisper. "The cap'en ain't a going to starve you!"
The queen of Sheba only had access to the wisdom of Solomon but you have access to the wisdom Christ she came from a very distant region but "the word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach" she came uninvited, and upon the hazard of a favourable reception but you are requested and urged to come to Jesus, and partake of the provisions which cover the well-spread table of his grace.
To the Captain, indeed, it was like passing from purgatory to fairyland, as he said; the more so from the fact of his seeing a well-spread table before him, and there being a savoury smell permeating the atmosphere. So, he took his seat with alacrity, prepared to do ample justice to whatever viands were brought forward.
The first-born receive the benefit of her early enthusiasm: theirs is the well-spread table, theirs the spacious apartments. The work has begun to pall by the time that the last eggs are laid; and the last-comers have to put up with a scurvy portion of food and a tiny corner. The difference shows itself in another way after the cocoons are spun.
Trombin and Gambardella also lodged in the Orso, but in rooms far from the happy pair, whom they chose to leave in peace for the present, never asking to see them nor inviting them to their well-spread table.
For they were both thorough bred and naturally kind-hearted, and so there were always showers of crumbs falling from their well-spread table for the benefit of those about them. Their friends had a magnificent time with them and so did their servants. They liked others to be pleased with them and satisfied because of them. For they must live in a warm atmosphere.
They were hardly on when Tommy appeared in a high state of clean collar, and escorted Nat down to breakfast. The sun was shining into the dining-room on the well-spread table, and the flock of hungry, hearty lads who gathered round it.
"Smells good, Yerkes!" said Gaddesden as he passed. The cook nodded. "If only her ladyship'll find something she likes," he said, not without a slight tone of reproach. "You hear that, Elizabeth?" said her brother as they sat down to the well-spread board. Elizabeth looked plaintive.
The furniture included a cooking stove, two double beds in remote corners, a table, a bureau, a washstand, and six wooden chairs. As it was late, there was no fire in the stove and no suggestion of supper, so the Governor and I ate apples and chewed slippery elm before retiring to dream of comfortable beds and well-spread tables in the near future.
