The clearing of the famous coffee-pot with an egg making the steaming mixture anew whenever wanted instead of letting the dented old pot simmer away all day on the back of the stove was another innovation, making the evening meal just that much more enjoyable, greatly to the delight of the hostess, who was prouder of her boarder than of any other human being who had come into her life, except John and Bobby.

A bunch of parsley cut small and put with it is an improvement. Some put in oysters five minutes before dishing up.
Thus they were supplied with the substantial end of a meal without the cost of a penny. Thad had cleaned the fish as fast as caught, so that all they had to do now was to slap them on the frying pan, after a bit of salt pork had been allowed to simmer, salt and pepper to taste, and then turn when necessary.
