Ye are red wud," said Linklater; then shouted to his assistant in the kitchen, "Look to the broches, ye knaves pisces purga Salsamenta fac macerentur pulchre I will make you understand Latin, ye knaves, as becomes the scullions of King James." Then in a cautious tone, to Richie's private ear, he continued, "Know ye not how ill your master came off the other day?
With tears in her eyes she declares that she gave no such orders, and Scathlock is sent to bring it back. When Mother Maudlin comes to thank Maid Marian for her present, she is told that no such present was ever intended, and so she in anger curses the cook, casting spells upon him: "The spit stand still, no broches turn Before the fire, but let it burn.

After our chilling, tedious day, it was pleasant to gather round it, to sit on the end of the blazing logs, and watch the Frenchmen preparing our supper the kettle nestling in a little nook of bright glowing coals the slices of ham browning and crisping on the forked sticks, or "broches," which the voyageurs dexterously cut, and set around the burning brands the savory messes of "pork and onions" hissing in the frying-pan, always a tempting regale to the hungry Frenchmen.

In conclusion, let me add one word of warning as to certain popular errors about the young fry of sundry well-known species.

Sprats are a very distinct species of the herring genus, and they never grow much bigger than when they appear, brochés, at table.
