Scrape the outside stalks, and cut off the green tops and the roots; lay it in cold water until near the time to serve, then change the water, in which let it stand three or four minutes; split the stalks in three, with a sharp knife, being careful not to break them, and serve in goblet-shaped salad glasses.

Hopwood took off his glasses and fumbled at them with his handkerchief. "Where is he now?" "Second, turning for home. He ought to win all by himself. They're choking to death behind him." "And I didn't bet a cent!" wailed the owner. "But I said he was a good horse, remember?" "Sure you did, and he ... oh, tough luck! Well, if that ain't a dirty shame!" "What is it?" chattered Hopwood.

McCain would straighten up, smile, square his shoulders in their smart, young-looking coat, and depart to his club, or the large, softly lit house where he dwelt alone. At dinner he would drink two glasses of champagne.

The moonlight was streaming down in a silvery flood through the trees and the bit of green meadow glowed like a fairy ring.
