"I never saw it except in the shape of rope," replied Ready. "I know the seed well enough." "Well, if we require it, I can tell you how to dress it," replied Mr. Seagrave. "Now, William, what is the next?" "This odd-looking, rough thing." "That's the egg-plant: it bears fruit of a blue colour. I am told they eat it in the hot countries."
But, my lady, do give me a few more; I'd like to taste the next mouthful carefully!" Lady Feng brought her, in very deed, another lot, and put it in her mouth. Old goody Liu munched for long with particular care. "There is, it's true, something about them of the flavour of egg-plant," she laughingly remarked, "yet they don't quite taste like egg-plants.

Peel the egg-plant, and take out the seeds. Boil for an hour in well-salted water. Drain as dry as possible; mash fine, and prepare precisely like corn fritters. Peel, and cut out a piece from the top; remove the seeds, and fill the space with a dressing like that for ducks, fitting in the piece cut out.

Little Dorothy is suspended in a Jump Chair on the Veranda facing Myrtle Avenue, along which the Green Cars run direct to City Hall Square.
