For in those days the great editor, when in presence of Lady Carbury, differed very much from that Mr Broune who used to squeeze her hand and look into her eyes. His manner with her had become so different that she regarded him as quite another person. She hardly dared to contradict him, and found herself almost compelled to tell him what she really felt and thought.
"I gave her another chance, though not quite of the kind that the reverend gentleman meant. Two days after her arrival I directed her to clean the plate and handed her the key of the safe, of which I have reason to believe that she took a squeeze with a piece of dough.
This can be made the same, by substituting clear, sweet cider in place of the wine. Orange jelly is a great delicacy and not expensive. To make a large dish, get six oranges, two lemons, a two-ounce package of gelatine. Put the gelatine to soak in a pint of water, squeeze the orange juice into a bowl, also the lemon juice, and grate one of the lemon skins in with it.
Anyhow, I mean to go, because Aunt Susan has promised to take me, either to a merry or a sad play. And then you are fond of music. I dare say I could squeeze in a concert. Think of a whole week, and not a penny to come out of your pocket; for Aunt Susan has a little sum put by, and she means to give me and whichever of my school-fellows I like best a real treat. So now you understand."
While thus occupied, Marble drew a chair to my side, gave me a cordial squeeze of the hand, and began to converse. At this moment, neatly tricked out in dry clothes, stood Neb on the forecastle, with his arms folded, sailor-fashion, as calm as if he had never felt the wind blow; occasionally giving in, however, under the influence of Chloe's smiles and unsophisticated admiration.
He only, after a moment, slipped down in a sitting position by Saltash's side and rested with more assurance against the encircling arm. "Come! I didn't hurt you much," said Saltash. "No, sir. You didn't hurt me at all." Toby stammered a little. "You you you meant not to hurt me, didn't you?" "I must hit harder next time evidently," observed Saltash, with a squeeze of the narrow shoulders.
I didn't know " she began, but Mac caught her hand and gave it a grateful squeeze. "Confess you wanted to sit by me!" he whispered. "But I didn't!" she protested hotly. "I never was in a automobile before and I just wanted to see how it worked!" She almost persuaded herself that this was true when they reached the long stretch of parkway, and Mac let her take the wheel.
Stir for five minutes; then add the butter and set away to cool. Beat together the sugar, the yolks of eight eggs and whites of four. Grate the rinds and squeeze the juice of the oranges into this. Stir all into the cooked mixture. Have a pudding-dish holding about three quarts lined with paste. Pour the preparation into this and bake in a moderate oven for forty minutes.
Then squeeze them through a bag: allow to each pint of juice, a pound of loaf-sugar; and having melted the sugar in the juice, boil them together twenty or twenty-five minutes, skimming carefully. Put it up in tumblers with tissue paper. Take large ripe cherries, plums, apricots, or grapes, and cut off half the stalk.
Howells yields to the temptation of execution, to which persons specially felicitous in language are liable, and pushes his experiments of expression to the verge of being unidiomatic, in his desire to squeeze the last drop of significance from words; but this is seldom, and generally we receive that unconscious pleasure in reading him which comes of naturalness, the last and highest triumph of good writing.
