She told Emily that, "Give her time, nobody could beat her at a boiled dish, apple-dumplings, or a loaf of bread," and the result proved that her words were no vain boast." "I have concluded to follow your advice," said Emily, the next time she saw her mother, "and look into the kitchen occasionally." "I am glad to hear it, and I have no doubt that you will enjoy yourself much better for it."
It flares its season, and then burns out. Thus at one time we have Burking at another, Swingism now, suicide is in vogue now, poisoning tradespeople in apple-dumplings now, little boys stab each other with penknives now, common soldiers shoot at their sergeants. Almost every year there is one crime peculiar to it; a sort of annual which overruns the country but does not bloom again.
Put what Sugar you think proper into each Dumpling, when you take it up, and the necessary quantity of Butter. It will then cat like a Marmalade of Quince. It may be understood before, that when they are taken up hot, the Ceremony of sugaring and buttering is necessary. Apple-Dumplings made with Sweet-meats. From the same.
We spent two or three days in a clean, fresh camp in this fertile country, supplied with an abundance of what it afforded. At noon each day apple-dumplings could be seen dancing in the boiling camp-kettles, with some to spare for a visitor, provided he could furnish his own plate.
It is a constant source of wonder to the thoughtfully inclined how the American man is evolved from the American boy; it is a problem much more knotty than the difficulty concerning apple-dumplings which so perplexed "Farmer George."

But they will be like Anchovies without Vinegar, only the Vinegar will keep them. Turn them often the first Fortnight. Apple-Dumplings in an extraordinary way. From Mrs. Johnson.
I've never seen the dropsy, but a secret is more dangerous, for it dries you up. Dropsy has water to it. We had apple-dumplings for dinner. I sold mine to Lucy Pyle for two cents, and bought a stamp with it. The stamp is for The Letter. Miss Katherine has come back. Came night before last, but I've been too excited to write anything down.
It contains soup, fish, roast meat, salad, apple-dumplings, ice cream and chocolate-drops, all boiled down to this small size, so it can be conveniently carried and swallowed when you are hungry and need a square meal." "I'm square," said the Woozy. "Give me one, please." So the Shaggy Man gave the Woozy a tablet from his bottle and the beast ate it in a twinkling.
Our hills, like apple-dumplings in a dish, have no such valleys as these. There is a good inn at Lodore, a small, primitive country inn, which has latterly been enlarged and otherwise adapted to meet the convenience of the guests brought thither by the fame of the cascade; but it is still a country inn, though it takes upon itself the title of hotel.
beefsteaks in the expression of his eye; his bald pate the fac-simile of a rump of mutton; plum-puddings and apple-dumplings in every curve of his chin; his body the living embodiment of a cask of beer supported by two pipes of generous wine; the whole man overflowing with rich juices and essences, gravies, and strong drinks a breathing incarnation of all the good things of life, whom to look upon is to feel good-natured and happy in the present, and hopeful for the future; such a man, in short, as mine host of the Golden Crown, whose portrait I have endeavored to present.
