While she did this at a side table, Mrs. Bosher was ironing linen at the table in the middle of the room. From time to time the sharp, sensible eyes of the woman rested upon the face of the girl, and at such moments the top of the black bonnet nodded as if it were alive. When Juliet had finished her task Mrs. Bosher said, "Now, you shall have bread-and-milk for supper, and then go to bed."
Meal-times were delectable festivals, not only because the bread-and-milk, the boiled rice and tapioca pudding, and eggs and fruit tasted so good, but by reason of the broad outlook out of window over the field, the wood, the lake, and the mountains; supper-time, with the declining sun pouring light into the little room and making the landscape glorious, was especially exhilarating.
It certainly was, as they always said, 'very, very hard. This was, of course, a winter misery, when the air was so frosty and cold that it was very unpleasant to jump out into it from a warm nest. "'Come, Miss So-and-So, one would say, 'don't sit fretting there; there's a warm fire, and a nice basin of bread-and-milk waiting for you, if you will only be quick and get ready.
He was in deadly earnest now; Lalage should have no more bread-and-milk days, if he could help it. Mrs. Marlow's letter had arrived by the first delivery, in the cheerful company of a returned manuscript.

The shepherdess carried Rosamond home, gave her a warm bath in the tub in which she washed her linen, made her some bread-and-milk, and after she had eaten it, put her to bed in Agnes's crib, where she slept all the rest of that day and all the following night.
It is very difficult always to remember that 'what' is not polite, especially in moments of surprise or agitation. 'Are Pterodactyls plentiful now? the Sand-fairy went on. The children were unable to reply. 'What do you have for breakfast? the Fairy said impatiently, 'and who gives it you? 'Eggs and bacon, and bread-and-milk, and porridge and things. Mother gives it us.
Steve, having disposed of two eggs in quick succession, turned to see how his young charge was progressing with his repast, and found him eyeing a bowl of bread-and-milk in a sort of frozen horror. "What's the matter, kid?" he asked. "Get busy." "No paper," said William Bannister. "For the love of Pete! Do you expect your morning paper out in the woods?"
"My mother said they often heard him playing and laughing about the house," said the old lady. "I told you so." "Well, he sha'n't want for a bowl of bread-and-milk to-morrow, anyhow," said the Tailor, "if I have to stick to Farmer Swede's waistcoat till midnight." But the waistcoat was finished by bed-time, and the Tailor set the bread-and-milk-himself, and went to rest.
"You will eat bread-and-milk or nothing, and if your aunt let you sit up till ten o'clock I am not so foolish." A basin of the food which Juliet declined to eat was set before her. She was very hungry, but having refused it already she let it lie untasted. Meanwhile Mrs. Bosher lighted a lamp. "It is nearly nine o'clock. Now you go to bed. Come along." There was a door which Mrs.
As for silver, the iron closet which had been made in the dining-room wall was running over with it: tea-kettles, coffee-pots, heavy-lidded tankards, chafing-dishes, punch-bowls, all that all the Dudleys had ever used, from the caudle-cup which used to be handed round the young mother's chamber, and the porringer from which children scooped their bread-and-milk with spoons as solid as ingots, to that ominous vessel, on the upper shelf, far back in the dark, with a spout like a slender italic S, out of which the sick and dying, all along the last century, and since, had taken the last drops that passed their lips.
