"Our gentlemen are somewhat late this evening," exclaimed Philippe. "'Tis too bad the Abbé Dubois could not be with us to-night to administer clerical consolation." "Ah! le drôle Dubois!" exclaimed Madame de Tencin. "And that vagabond, the Due de Richelieu but we may not wait. Again ladies, the glasses, or Béchamel will be aggrieved.
Bechamel, tightening his chain in the Angel yard after dinner, was the first to be aware of their reunion. He saw Hoopdriver walk slowly across the gateway, his head enhaloed in cigarette smoke, and pass out of sight up the street. Incontinently a mass of cloudy uneasiness, that had been partly dispelled during the day, reappeared and concentrated rapidly into definite suspicion.
He went back round the corner, sat down on the seat, and watched Bechamel recede into the dimness up the esplanade, before he got up and walked into the hotel entrance. "A lady cyclist in grey," he asked for, and followed boldly on the waiter's heels. The door of the dining-room was opening before he felt a qualm.
Pooh! a young man who smokes cigars doesn't know the difference between Bechamel sauce and melted butter. Good afternoon! good afternoon!" He slackened the reins, and away he went to Craig Fernie. Counting by years, the pony was twenty, and the pony's driver was seventy.
"Get your bicycle out in the road?" "Both. Mine alone is no good. At once. Dare you?" "Which way?" "Go out by the front door and round. I will follow in one minute." "Right!" said Mr. Hoopdriver, and went. He had to get those bicycles. Had he been told to go out and kill Bechamel he would have done it. His head was a maelstrom now.
While it is cooking prepare a meat sauce, and a Bechamel sauce as follows: MEAT SAUCE Cut the meat into small dice; chop up fine together the ham, onion, carrot, and celery. This sauce should not be strained. Take one tablespoon of flour, and one tablespoon of butter. Put them into a saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon until they have become a golden-brown color.
Dip each one into thick béchamel sauce slightly warmed; let them get cold; then take each piece separately and dip it into carefully made frying batter, and drop them into boiling lard; fry a pale brown, and serve garnished with fried parsley. Stuffed Cucumbers. Cut large-sized young cucumbers into slices about two inches thick, rejecting the ends.
To three quarters of a pint of béchamel add a dessertspoonful of anchovy essence and a small wineglass of sherry, mix well, and serve. Orange sauce for game is made with half a pint of Spanish sauce boiled five minutes to make it rather thicker than usual, the juice of three sweet oranges, and the peel of one. This peel must be so thinly pared as to be transparent.
He was far too grimly in earnest to pick up that lost thread and make a play of it now. The man was living. He did not pose when he alighted at the coffee tavern even, nor when he made his hasty meal. As Bechamel crossed from the Vicuna towards the esplanade, Hoopdriver, disappointed and exasperated, came hurrying round the corner from the Temperance Hotel.
"Poor Don Aloysius!" she said "He will now go to his soup maigre and we to our poulet, sauce bechamel, and he will be quite as contented as we are!" "More so, probably!" said Rivardi, as he courteously assisted Lady Kingswood, who was slightly lame, to rise from her chair "He is one of the few men who in life have found peace." Morgana gave him a keen glance. "You think he has really found it?"
