The spring and the cool shade were so delightful that I bethought me of certain slices of an excellent ham, which my friends at Montilla had packed into my guide's wallet. I bade him produce them, and invited the stranger to share our impromptu lunch. If he had not smoked for a long time, he certainly struck me as having fasted for eight-and-forty hours at the very least.
Wallie could not deny it and subsided meekly, putting a ham on to boil with a cabbage while Rufus smoked until he was ready to assist him. "If they's anything I like it's a good mess of ham and cabbage," he observed. "I am glad to have found something to stimulate your appetite it's worried me," replied Wallie.
'I should call him a large man, my dear, the old lady replied after some hesitation, 'but that his voice is so much larger. 'Than himself? 'Than anybody. 'Hah! said Septimus. And finished his breakfast as if the flavour of the Superior Family Souchong, and also of the ham and toast and eggs, were a little on the wane. Mrs.
I was rather pleased to have his company home on the lonely ride from Riverport, and I confess that I was somewhat proud of making the acquaintance of the distinguished gentleman. "Don't be in a hurry, Buck," said Ham Fishley, as I picked up the mail-bag. I stopped and looked at him, for his tones were more conciliatory than I had heard him use within my remembrance.
Then he complimented Madame Erlingsen on the excellence of her ham, and helped himself again; and next drew near the girls. Erica blushed, and was thinking how she should explain that she wished his acceptance of her work, when Frolich saved her the awkwardness by saying "We hope you will like this coverlid, for we have made an entirely new pattern on purpose for it. Orga, you have the pattern.
We had a ration soup and ration ham and ration prunes and cheese; what Tommy Atkins gets. When we were outside the house and starting for the trench this captain, with his wounded arm, wanted to carry my knapsack. He seemed to think that refusal was breaking the Hague conventions.
But there was no word of restitution. I was that city's benefactor, yet I was received in a third-class waiting-room, and the best dinner I could get was a dish of ham and eggs at my own expense. I can safely say, I have never been so dog-tired as that night in Chicago. When it was time to start, I descended the platform like a man in a dream.
Happy is that man who, by reason of an abundant fortune, knows not the meaning of the word hunger; but thrice happy is he who, when the hand of famine pinches, may stay his craving with such a meal as this of mine. Never before, and never since have I tasted just such eggs, and such ham so tender! so delicate! so full of flavor! It is a memory that can never fade.
The truth about the doings of Ham Spink and Carl Dudder soon leaked out, so far as our friends were concerned, although the matter was kept from the general public. Both Mr. Spink and Mr. Dudder were anxious that no charge of theft should be made against Kiddy Leech, so the tramp was merely given thirty days in jail for vagrancy, and was then given some money by Mr.
If individual soufflés are preferred, butter as many dariole moulds as the mixture will fill; lay at the bottom of each something by way of garnish a little star or disk of tongue or ham for some, of truffle for others, of green gherkin for others so that when turned out the top of the soufflés will show spots of color. Half fill the moulds, and steam twenty minutes.
