John Langan sat on the pier of the dining-room steps, with Harriet on one knee and Sophy on the other, and Fanny standing beside him. In the course of the evening William danced a reel with Fanny and Harriet, to the great delight of the spectators.

"Flams, mere flams!" cried Hyacinth, acknowledging the praises bestowed on her barge; "but if you like clary wine better than skimmed milk you had best drink a brimmer or two before you leave the barge, since 'tis odds you'll get nothing but syllabubs and gingerbread from Lady Sarah."
SOLID SYLLABUBS. Mix a quart of thick raw cream, one pound of refined sugar, a pint and a half of fine raisin wine, in a deep pan; and add the grated peel and the juice of three lemons. Beat or whisk it one way, half an hour; then put it on a sieve, with a piece of thin muslin laid smooth in the shallow end, till the next day.

My Lady Middlesex makes Syllabubs for little Glasses with spouts, thus. Beat all these together with a whisk, till all appeareth converted into froth.

Yes, to be sure, they might have their horses saddled; but they might not go before observing Inistow's full ritual of hospitality. They ate, therefore, and talked little for a while: there would be time for talk on the long homeward ride.
"We must have dinner," he said gravely. "With some yellow rock candy," she added, "and syllabubs." He returned to Myrtle Forge from New York with a mingled sense of pleasure and the feeling that his place was unsupportably empty. The loneliness of which he had been increasingly conscious seemed to have its focus in his house.
