Cover the top with sifted bread or cracker crumbs, dot with bits of butter, and brown in a quick oven about twenty minutes. The fish may be mixed with an equal part of mashed potato, and baked; and not only codfish, but any boiled fresh fish, can be used, in which case double the measure of salt given will be required.

"Even so it was quick work. May I light a cigarette? Three husbands in four years! She must be a very alluring person!" Terry laughed nervously. "She is, though you mayn't think it.
