I've got nothing to look forward to. But I don't care. When I'm older I'll cut the whole show, and go away and enlist. Any road, I won't stay longer than I can help at Padbury." Queen Mab smiled, and went on cutting out the covering for an apple-tart. "I know you like soldiers," she said; "well, listen to this.

He was fed, so far as I remember on Soup. Fish. Rabbit-pie. Potatoes. Cabbage. Apple-tart. Fruit. Coffee. Liqueurs. and after lunch, I am told, showed a marked disinclination to ascend the hill and watch the shells bursting. He was only a "civvy." The battle lasted about ten days. Each morning the Staff, like lazy men who are "something in the city," arrived a little later at the tavern.

It'll be on the table, with dumplings to match and a big apple-tart, sharp at one o'clock. I might ha' guessed that some o' them dear little missies were coming to dinner, for I don't always have a hot joint like this in the middle o' the week."

She said she was out of flour and granulated sugar, and would want raisins and coffee and tea, beside a vegetable for dinner and some lettuce and meat.

Still, if Maggie came at once that might be managed, and nice potatoes, beef-steak, apple-tart and cream would be better than no dinner at all.

The next morning, immediately after breakfast, Aunt Lydia called the little girl aside, and gave her as usual a basket of broken provisions. "There is a good piece of apple-tart in the basket this morning, Cecile, and a bottle of fresh milk.
