It may also be made of half a pint of vinegar, and a quarter of a pound of sugar, reduced to a syrup. HARE SOUP. Take an old hare unfit for other purposes, cut it into pieces, and put it into a jar; add a pound and a half of lean beef, two or three shank bones of mutton well cleaned, a slice of lean bacon or ham, an onion, and a bunch of sweet herbs.
Take a small handful of chives, the same of parsley, a very little penny-royal, and a very little sweet marjoram; chop all these herbs together excessive small, put your soup over a slow fire, put in your giblets, butter and flour, and small herbs; then take a pint of Madeira wine, some cayenne pepper, and salt to your palate.
"Of course," said Betty, unconscious of the flush; "but religion tells you that it doesn't tell you about the little things. It does say about herbs of the field and the floods clapping their hands and all that but that's only His works praising Him, not us loving all His works.

"Signs take neither the living nor bring back the dead. Hand me the pot of herbs and help me here," and Mary turned to the couch. "Doth he swallow?"

Before he really expected her, she was back with what she needed, a pot for heating the water, a basin, several kinds of herbs, some strips of yellowed linen for bandages, a blanket and a knife. While the water was heating, she cut a deep segment of the smooth white bark of a young poplar for a splint the curve of it was judged to a nicety to fit Natalie's arm.
