Frequent references to subjects entirely foreign to the topic under discussion give conversation much the same jerky, sputtering ineffectualness as sticking a spigot momentarily in a faucet prevents an even flow of water from a tank.
The bath was not to be had; neither faucet in the bathroom ran hot; but the bed was deliciously comfortable, and Martie tumbled into it with only one thought in her head: "Anyway, whatever happens now I'm here in New York!" The first few days of exploration were somewhat affected by the fact that Wallace had almost no money; yet they were glorious days, filled with laughter and joy.
"Do let me alone!" "I'll turn the faucet of that fountain of venom, Goupil whom you're afraid of and we'll see who gets the best of it then." "Just as you choose." "I know very well it will be as I choose! and what I choose first and foremost is that no harm shall come to Desire.
Grandma said, "If the bog was bad for my rheumatiz, what's this going to be?" A man showed the Beechams a vacant house in the long rows. "Not much to look at," he acknowledged, "but the rent ain't much, either. The roofs are tight and a few have running water, case you want it bad enough to pay extra." "To think a rusty pipe and one faucet in my kitchen would ever be a luxury!" Grandma muttered.
When I awoke it was daylight. I jumped up and looked at Duncan. He was just stirring, and a moment later he opened his eyes. "Where am I?" he asked, with a puzzled look at me. "You're all right, Duncan," I replied. "Don't you remember?" "Oh, yes, I do now. How my head hurts. Is there any water around?" I went over to the faucet and drew him a glass. He sat up and gulped it down.
They covered the opening of the faucet with their thumbs, and turned on the water. It spurted in a fine spray, and they laughed in glee. That they wet each other did not matter. Danny, seeing the success of his trick, walked off as he saw Mr. Tetlow coming. The Bobbsey twins were so intent on spurting the water that they did not observe the principal until he was close to them.
For bottling wine we need: 1st. clean bottles. 2d. good corks, which must first be scalded with hot water, to soften them, and draw out all impurities, and then soaked in cold water. 3d. a small funnel. 4th. a small faucet. 5th. a cork-press, of iron or wood. 6th. a light wooden mallet to drive in the corks.
After that the twins made several private expeditions to the barrel, but as the spigot was kept locked, of course they could not turn it. It chanced that this morning Delia had drawn the oil in a hurry, and had forgotten to turn the catch in the spigot that locked it. Zaidee and Helen, prowling around for something to do, chanced to come past the barrel, and Zaidee tried the faucet.
But there came a moment when the child trembled; Madame Thenardier raised the cover of a stew-pan which was boiling on the stove, then seized a glass and briskly approached the cistern. She turned the faucet; the child had raised her head and was following all the woman's movements. A thin stream of water trickled from the faucet, and half filled the glass.
I expect the best plan will be to have you do it yourself. That will give the most satisfaction, I guess." "Joanna! I don't know how." "Yes, you do, Miss Daisy; you'll have the coffee urn, and all you have to do is to turn the faucet, you know; and Sam will wait upon you, and if you want tea poured out, he can lift it for you. It'll taste twice as good to all the party if you do it."
