"If you please, I'd like some of the mottoes, too." Mr. Jenkins handed down the jar, spread out a clean sheet of wrapping paper, and turned out the candies. Susie selected a dozen hearts, rounds, and stars, with different mottoes, and then wondered if she ought to have lemon drops, too. "Do you think I have enough, uncle?" she asked. Uncle Robert knew pretty well what little girls like.
Marina returned with a bottle of rum, a lemon and sugar, and then left the room. The bowl was soon in flames, which lighted up the darkened room with their pale blue light. Mark stirred it with the spoon, while the sugar held between two spoons dripped slowly into the bowl. From time to time he tasted it. "How long have you been in our town?" asked Raisky after a short silence. "About two years."
Of late years the Tahitian fashion of wearing thick wreaths of orange or lemon blossoms has come into vogue. Before concluding these remarks upon Samoa, I must mention that the climate is very healthy for the greater part of the year; but in the rainy season, December to March, the heat is intense, and sickness is often prevalent, especially in Apia.
Make a syrup in another kettle, putting half a cup water to the pound of sugar. Skim clean, put in the tomatoes, add the strained juice of lemons three for a large kettle full, and simmer for two hours, until the fruit is clear. Cut the lemon rind in strips, boil tender in strong salt water, then boil fresh in clear water, and add to the syrup.
The pomegranate and lemon trees, the terraced fountain, where golden carp slithered and wriggled amid the roots of gorgeous-hued irises, the banked masses of exotic blooms, the pagoda-like enclosure, where Japanese sand-badgers disported themselves, all these contributed to take away Gwenda's appetite and moderate her desire to talk about gardening matters.
A labor, a labor consists in a list, a labor consists in a reduction in minerals, a labor consists in authority. Shame, there is shame, there is a date, there is betrothal, there is sweetness. No better juice than lime juice, no better juice than lemon juice, no juice at all, no water, no sugar, no dirty glass. All this shows antagonism.
When I got out of the room I felt limply flat, like a squeezed lemon, and the door-keeper in his glass cage, where I stopped to get my hat and tip him a shilling, said: "Well! I thought you were never coming out." "How long have I been in there?" I asked faintly. He pulled out his watch. "He kept you, sir, just under three hours. I don't think this ever happened with any of the gentlemen before."
Ice Cream with Lemon. Roll two fresh lemons, in as much powdered loaf-sugar as will sweeten a quart of cream; if you wish the juice, you can put some in with more sugar; freeze it. A good plan is to rub the lemon on a large lump of sugar, and then use the sugar in sweetening the cream. Ice Cream with Fruit.
On our way home from church in the morning we were talking about the good times children have on their little picnics, and Mr. Bradley said he never enjoyed a picnic in his life, because every one he had ever gone to was ruined by the baleful influence of lemon pie." Thaddeus laughed. "Then he didn't like lemon pie?" he asked. "No, he hated it," said Bessie, joining in the laugh.
"I haven't seen a lemon for the last two years; but they do get some oranges from Florida. Maybe it was that, or perhaps it was spirits and water." "Perhaps it was," Vincent agreed; "though I don't think they would let anyone sell spirits in the camp." "I can't get you any lemons or oranges neither," the woman said; "but I might make you a drink out of molasses and herbs, with some spirits in it.
