This always occurred several times during the night. It was just outside of Bouconville that the famous doughnut truck experience occurred.
I washed that next morning, Monday, but all the time I was rubbing and starching and hanging out, my mind was with Jennie Brice. The sight of Molly Maguire, next door, at the window, rubbing and brushing at the fur coat, only made things worse. At noon when the Maguire youngsters came home from school, I bribed Tommy, the youngest, into the kitchen, with the promise of a doughnut.
"Once I ate a layer-cake. There was jam in it. I wouldn't care if it was apple jelly in it now I'd LIKE apple jelly in it now. Once I ate a pudding and a doughnut a-n-d a a I think it was a horse. I'd eat a horse now. Hush! Don't tell Aunt Olivia, but I'm going to eat to e-at Thom-as Jeffer " She swayed back on the pillows again.
'Here is a doughnut which I propose to send down the red pathway of fate; and here a pencil and paper with which I am going to begin our round-robin letter to Elsie. 'That's good! She has only had notes from Jack and one letter from us, which, if I remember right, had nothing in it. 'Thanks! I wrote it, sniffed Bell. 'Well, I meant it had no news no account of things, you know.
I recall, vividly, gnawing, dog-like, at the mollified outside of a doughnut while still its frosty heart made my teeth ache. Happily all days were not like this.
Omitting them, and adding flour enough to roll out, makes an excellent raised doughnut or bun. Let it rise two hours; then cut in shapes, and fry in boiling lard. Or, for buns, bake in a quick oven, and, a minute before taking out, brush the top with a spoonful of sugar and milk mixed together. One pint-bowlful of dough; one cup of sugar; butter the size of an egg; one teaspoonful of cinnamon.
He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or may be a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. He got him up so in the matter of ketching flies, and kep' him in practice so constant, that he'd nail a fly every time as fur as he could see him.
"I took the milk from two little cats what git stuffed with milk every morning and night. The doughnut had jest been stuck in a parrot's cage. He hedn't tetched it. My! he swore fierce! I'd ruther steal, anyway, than let Iry and Co go hungry." "What would the preacher say!" demanded her mother solemnly. "He would say it was wrong."
There was, of course, great rejoicing between the two young hunters. They started a fire, then took off Bruin's skin; and soon some most delicious bearsteaks were broiling on the coals. "I don't miss that doughnut at all, somehow," said Will as they sat at dinner.
When six o'clock came each man would get three doughnuts and a cup of delicious coffee or chocolate. A great many doughnut cutters were worn out as the days went by and the boys frequently had to get a new cutter made. Sometimes they would take the top of quite a large-sized can or anything tin that they could lay hands on from which to make it.
