The door opens into Court Square, and is denoted, usually, by some choice specimens of dainties exhibited in the windows, or hanging beside the door-post; as, for instance, a pair of canvas-back ducks, distinguishable by their delicately mottled feathers; an admirable cut of raw beefsteak; a ham, ready boiled, and with curious figures traced in spices on its outward fat; a half, or perchance the whole, of a large salmon, when in season; a bunch of partridges, etc., etc.
We'll simply have a breakdown somewhere on the road conveniently near to a spot I know, where I can broil the beefsteak I have in that hamper, and make the coffee. 'Unavoidable detention' will be your apology." "'Irresistible temptation' will be my confession," she admitted. "I'm not good at subterfuge and I'm so hungry that the mere mention of beefsteak out-of-doors "
One day her aunt, Eliza Hanson, was spending the day with her mother, and Annette showed her some of her verses and said to her, "that is one of my best pieces." "Oh, you have a number of best pieces," said her aunt, carelessly. "Can you cook a beefsteak?" "I suppose I could if I tried." "Well, you had better try than to be trying to string verses together.
Every atom of my blood tingled with natural happiness as I have felt it in later days, under the stimulation of good wine. No coffee, no tea, no beefsteak, no alcohol.... On that summer's ideal living I built the foundation of the health and strength, that, long after, I finally acquired as a permanent possession.

A Swede would no more violate a rule of etiquette, smile or bow out of place, eat a beefsteak or drink his schnapps at an unusual hour, or strike out any thing novel or original in the way of pleasure, profit, or enterprise, than a German. The court circle is the most formal in Europe, and the upper classes of society are absolute slaves to conventionality.
The whole scene is lively; good-humour prevails; and though the noise is fearful, the bargaining being long and clamorous, and every one is armed with lance or club, still, all is peaceful: no blood is ever shed on these occasions but that of a few cows, killed for the many visitors from the high country who enjoy their raw beefsteak under the cool shadow of the willows that border the stream.
"Say, is it considered au fait for a bride-about-to-be to do a little plugging for wedding presents this early in the game? Well, so long." Sabrina in this chapter attends a beefsteak party and becomes involved in an argument with a certain party who was formerly her roommate but whom she left quietly and by night.
I suppose our chops are rather thin, but I don't mind." "Beefsteak and chops, both cut thin, and fried up like sole-leather. I know!" said Dr. Hayward, and he stamped his foot with unregenerate force. "I don't mind a bit, Edward." "You ought to mind, when it is your own house, and you buy the food and pay your housekeeper. It is an outrage!" "I don't mind, really, Edward." Dr.
For the firemen and spectators had seen the sudden dying down of the fire, they had caught sight of a shadowy shape in the night, hovering over the blazing building, and they wondered what it all meant. "How is it?" asked Tom, as he guided the craft back to get a view of his work. "That settles it!" answered Ned. "There isn't fire enough now to broil a beefsteak!"
We seem to have delegated scientific physical training to athletics and pugilism, with but scant concern for our people as a whole. If pink-tea calisthenics as practiced mildly in our schools has failed to produce robust bodies, then it is incumbent upon us to adopt a régime of beefsteak.
