"And what was that, Alice? I haven't seen it yet." Alice pulled out of her pocket a small, round, morocco case, the very thing that Ellen had thought looked like a dumpling under the napkin, and opened it. "It's Mr. John!" exclaimed Ellen. "Oh, how beautiful!" Neither of her hearers could help laughing. "It is very fine, Ellie," said Alice; "you are quite right.
'She's a darling, she's a daisy, she's a dumpling, she's a lamb! I refer to Miss Swan, of course; but on other lips the terms are equally applicable to Miss Carver; and don't you forget it!" He swung out of the office with a mazurka step. His silk hat, gaily tilted on the side of his head, struck against the door-jamb, and fell rolling across the entry floor. Lemuel laughed wildly.
Ef I'd 'a' known you was a-comin' I'd sho' had somethin' fo' dinneh to-day besides greens an' po'k, cracklin' pone an' apple dumplin's. That's nuffin' fo' a weddin' dinneh." But when they came to eat it, it was delicious the greens delicately seasoned, not greasy, the salt pork home-cured and sweet, the cracklin' pone crumbling with richness, and the apple dumpling a delight of spicy flavour.
"Got ter make time ef yer wanter make money. Did n't Tom tell yer I 'd be heah in twenty minutes?" "No," she said; "I seen him goin' pas'; he did n' say nothin'." "I dunno w'at 's de matter wid dat boy," mused the blacksmith over his apple dumpling. "He 's gittin' mighty keerless heah lately; mus' hab sump'n' on 'is min', some gal, I reckon."
I will excuse you now." We found The Seraph lounging in a chair in the schoolroom. "Too bad about the dumpling, old boy," I said consolingly. "Oh, not too bad," he replied. "Mary Ellen fetched it up the backstairs to me. I'm vewy full." That afternoon we saw Captain Pegg go for a walk with his son and daughter-in-law. He looked quite altered in a long grey coat and tall hat. Mr. and Mrs.
Betty Littell was a dumpling of a girl with curly hair, a snub nose and round face. She looked the picture of good-nature, and her plumpness suggested a fondness for sweets that subsequent acquaintance with her fully sustained. Betty Gordon had grown tall through the summer, and she was of a slender, wiry build that hinted of a fondness for outdoor life.
The hurling satire of the opening paragraph the torch of learning having so illuminated every cranny and dog-hole in the universe that the creation of the world had now become no more mysterious than the making of a dumpling, though concerning this last there were still some to whom the question as to how the apples were got in presented an insoluble problem this seized me with an amazement of pleasure.
The same recipe as the above, with the exception that they are put into a small coarse cloth well floured after being dipped in hot water. Each cloth to be tied securely, but leaving room enough for the dumpling to swell. Put them in a pot of boiling water and boil three-quarters of an hour. Serve with sweet sauce. Peaches and other fruits used in the same manner.
We dressed it and made it into rabbit stew by putting into the kettle first a layer of bacon and then one of rabbit, and then a layer of dumpling, which we made from flour and water, putting in layer after layer of this sort until our four camp-kettles were filled. We had a late supper that night.
The ox is killed and cut into biltong, and the meal baked into stormjagers, a kind of dumpling fried in dripping. Now Scheepers' little corps, which consisted of half a dozen men, was probably not very well off itself in the matter of provisions in any case, they offered me none. The commissariat consisted of nothing but oxen and meal, cold comfort for me.
