As for the apple-pudding, it had vanished altogether; and the dish was licked as clean as if Boxer, the yard-dog, had been at it in his hungriest mood. "And my white table-cloth oh, my clean white table-cloth! What can have been done to it?" cried she, in amazement.
"What did you have for dinner to-day?" said the Professor. "A little piece of a dead crow," was Bruno's mournful reply. "He means rook-pie," Sylvie explained. "It were a dead crow," Bruno persisted. "And there were a apple-pudding and Uggug ate it all and I got nuffin but a crust! And I asked for a orange and didn't get it!"
They have their first lesson in 'Cæsar' this afternoon; perhaps they are studying up." "Jack always has to go where Sam does," said Gertrude. This was the talk at the Wilsons' table. The subject was much the same at the Pentzes'. There was a large family at the Wilsons'; so there was at the Pentzes'. Mrs. Pentz was ladling out some boiled apple-pudding to a hungry circle round her.
Church's debtors to eat good roast beef and good boiled pork and good apple-pudding, but it was another thing for Mrs. Church to tolerate it. She fixed her eyes now on Susy in a very meaning way. Susy had never appealed to the old lady's fancy, and she appealed less than ever to-day. "Come right over here, little girl," said Mrs. Church, waving a thin arm and motioning Susy to approach.
She is just in the middle of an apple-pudding." Rosamond said it with as much simple grace of pride as if she had had to say, "Mother is busy at her modelling, and cannot leave her clay till she has damped and covered it." Her nice perception went to the very farther-most; it discerned the real best to be made of things, the best that was ready made, and put that forth.
I will make that apple-pudding that he likes so much; and there is the fowl for the pie, you know, Nurse Lucy." The little maid was away on a vacation, so there was plenty of work to be done.
Her home was "a little thatched cottage, with a garden before the door. She used to give us milk and bread for breakfast, an apple-pudding for dinner, and a piece of bread and cheese for our supper. Her fire was made of turf cut from the neighboring heath; and her evening light was a rush dipped in grease." His father was a small farmer, and one who did not allow his boys to grow up in idleness.
Poor Muff had crept there for a little snooze after Brownie went away. "You nasty cat! I see it all now; it's you that have eaten up all the supper; it's you that have been on my clean table-cloth with your dirty paws." They were white paws, and as clean as possible; but the Cook never thought of that, any more than she did of the fact that cats don't usually drink cider or eat apple-pudding.
The property was not large; and as Captain Merrifield was far from rich, it took much management to give all this tribe of boys and girls a good education, as well as plenty of bread and butter, mutton, and apple-pudding.
She had tried to get her nose into the milk-jug, but it was too small; and the junket-dish was too deep for her to reach, except with one paw. She didn't care much for bread and cheese and apple-pudding, and was very well fed besides; so, after just wandering round the table, she had jumped down from it again, and settled herself to sleep on the hearth.
