Every soul in the place had her omen. Jane Restless had a magpie. That very morning the bird had stolen a leaden plummet belonging to Restless and carried it to her cage, where she promptly set to work to hatch it out. And she fought when Zac went to take it away. She made such a racket when it was gone that Jane was sorry, and picked out a small chicken's egg and put it into the bird's cage.
When his own needs were fairly met he could be generous with anybody's property, even his own. He tapped the chicken's breastbone invitingly with his penknife, and addressed the stranger. "May I offer you a little lunch, sir?" he said urbanely, with quite the air of a generous host.
Ledgers and copperas are not good food for a chicken's soul, or body either." "Let it alone!" he growled. "You take it for a type of yourself, eh? It has another work to do than to grow fat and sleep about the barnyard." She opened the cage. "I think I will take it." "No," he said, quietly. "It has a master here. Not P. Teagarden.
Captain Bothwell would as soon wring your neck as a chicken's, my boy. Keep away from the forecastle." Immediately I joined Blythe on the bridge and told him what Jimmie had discovered. The captain nodded. "That explains what was puzzling us. Bothwell has been too shrewd for us. He must have arranged it to throw his men in our way when we were selecting a crew.
Be careful, lest this chicken's fate overtake thee, and those with thee. How canst thou save her or thyself? Who art thou that thou settest thyself between me and my will? Back, I say. Scragga, kill her! Ho, guards! seize these men." At his cry armed men ran swiftly from behind the hut, where they had evidently been placed beforehand.
"Why, did you think we'd forget you, Phronsie?" asked Polly, a bit reproachfully. "And don't you remember it?" said David. "No," said Phronsie. "I don't; but I remember Seraphina's bonnet." "It was trimmed with some of Grandma Bascom's chicken's feathers," said Joel. "And Mamsie made it out of an old bonnet string," said Polly. "Oh dear, if only Mamsie were here to-day!"
It was a dreadful sight which met us as we entered the bedroom door. I have spoken of the impression of flabbiness which this man Blessington conveyed. As he dangled from the hook it was exaggerated and intensified until he was scarce human in his appearance. The neck was drawn out like a plucked chicken's, making the rest of him seem the more obese and unnatural by the contrast.
Then serve them up hot with Lemon sliced. To make artificial Crabs. From M. De la Port of Lyons in France. Take some of the White of a roasted or boil'd Chicken's Breast, and shred it very small; then add some Roots of Potatoes boil'd and beat into Pulp.
He sweat, and hitched, and wheezed: he dropped his knife on the floor, and stuck his elbow in Fanny's butter; he attempted to sever a cold chicken's wing, and upset a plate full of biscuit and butter, apple, honey, and pie, in his lap; he blew his tea long after it was cool, and blew hot and cold drops into Mrs. Fabens' face; and mixed everything together as he ate.
Three minutes afterwards, her doctor, who on the previous day had left her almost in the last throes, scarce breathing, found her up and sitting by the fireside, eating a tender chicken's wing with a good appetite. She had no more tumours, she laughed as she had laughed when she was twenty, and her face had regained the brilliancy of youth.
