The fish could have stood some of the surplus cookin' that the soup got. It wa'n't exactly eatable fish, and the potato marbles that come with it should have been numbered; then they'd be useful in Kelley pool. Yes, they was a bit hard. Doris gets red under the eyes and waves out the fish. She stands it, though, until that two-pound roast is put before Westy. Not such a whale of a roast, it ain't.
Now, when that great war of twenty-five years was over, did England attempt, in 1814 and 1815, to return to specie payment? They had afloat but £20,000,000, or $100,000,000, and they began with their one-pound notes. In a few years they took their two-pound notes; afterward they took their five-pound notes. But they never resumed full specie payment until the latter part of the year 1822.
When done, pepper and salt lightly; and to a two-pound fish allow a tablespoonful of butter spread over it. Set the fish in the oven a moment, that the butter may soak in, and then serve. A teaspoonful of chopped parsley, and half a lemon squeezed over shad or any fresh fish, is a very nice addition.
The wind was icy and set us all a-shiver, our hands were benumbed by the cold water, and we were just beginning to despair when we landed a two-pound namaycush, and a little later a five-pounder.
Once he munched, relishfully, a two-pound box of starch, box and all; on his recovery, he began upon a second box, and was unhappy when it was taken from him. He would greet members of the family with falsetto-thunderous barks of challenge as they came down the drive from the highway. But he would frisk out in joyous welcome to meet and fawn upon tramps or peddlers who sought to invade The Place.
At last I felt that I was far enough away from the town to have nothing to fear. I went into the first bakery that I came across. I asked for one pound and a half of bread. "You'd do well to take a two-pound loaf," said the woman. "That's not too much for your menagerie. You must feed the poor dogs." Oh, no, it was not too much for my menagerie, but it was too much for my purse.
Weren't you going to treat the crowd when I brought Percy along and let you sting him?" "Such horrid slang!" "Go on, be a sport! Lend me the quarter!" Grace produced it from her purse. There were several other coins in it. "Say, you're loaded with wealth! Where'd you get it?" "I just didn't spend it." "Go on! And you with a two-pound box of chocolates or what's left of 'em under your bed!"
Again and again Thor's big right paw swept up great showers of water. The first inundation knocked Muskwa off his feet. But with it came a two-pound trout which the cub quickly dragged out of range and began eating.
I've been a cowman for twenty-five years. I want to keep my range until the time comes for me to take the long trail." "It would be hard to change," agreed the engineer. "However, the point now is to find what Deep Cañon has to tell us." "You still think you can go down it?" "Yes, if I have ropes, a two-pound hammer, and some iron pins; railroad spikes and picket-pins would do."
There were just seventy-six pieces in that two-pound box. I counted them that first day. Of course, they were fine and dandy, and I just loved them; but the trouble is, for the last week I've been eating such snippy little pieces. You see, every day, without thinking, I'd just naturally pick out the biggest pieces. So you can imagine what they got down to toward the last mostly chocolate almonds.
