And after all, I reflect, the Belgians once had wives and children too. Many of them have neither wife nor child any longer. And so perish all Germans! The plumber, who had been studying his "hand," looked up from the cards. "We have killed a great number of the Bosches," he said dispassionately. "Yes, a great number. It was in a beetroot field, and there were as many dead Germans as beetroots.
Several officers, and with them a woman a common sight enough were eating potatoes, some horseflesh broiled over the charcoal, and some frozen beetroots. I recognized among the company two or three artillery captains of the regiment in which I had first served.
'Why do you thank God? 'I was bringing a great quantity of beetroots, said the Cogia, 'but meeting an individual on the road, he advised me to bring these instead. Now if I had brought beetroots, my head would have been broken. The Cogia going on another day to visit the Bey, the Bey took him out a- hunting, but mounted him on a good-for-nothing horse.
First, she rooted among a heap of litter; then, in passing, she ate up a young pullet; lastly, she proceeded carelessly to munch some pieces of melon rind. To this small yard or poultry-run a length of planking served as a fence, while beyond it lay a kitchen garden containing cabbages, onions, potatoes, beetroots, and other household vegetables.
At last he perceived a fig-tree by the roadside, so, throwing away all the beetroots, he put two or three figs in their place, and having arrived at the palace, he presented them to the Bey. But this time the Bey was not in a good humour. "What madman is this," he cried, "who mocks me by the gift of a few worthless figs? Throw them at his head and drive him away!"
Darmian is situated in a rugged gulch, and the houses, gardens, and orchards ramble all over the place with little regard to regularity, although some attempt has been made at forming streets. Darmian and Poorg are twin villages, but a short distance apart, in this same gulch, and are famous for dried apricots, pears, and dried beetroots, and for the superior quality of its sheerah.
I shall expect you to repay me what I spent on the festival no small sum, I can assure you. I had prepared for each of us, you must know, a lettuce, three snails, two eggs, and a barley cake served with sweet wine and snow; the snow most certainly I shall charge to your account, as it melted away. There were olives, beetroots, gourds, onions, and a hundred other dainties.
The Cogia went home, and a few days after, taking a number of beetroots, set out again in order to carry them to the Bey. As he was going along he met an individual, who said to the Cogia, 'To whom are you carrying those things? 'I am carrying them to the Bey, said the Cogia.
Pour this over your Fish, and serve it hot with a Garnish of BeetRoots sliced, some slices of Lemon-Peel, and some Horse-Radish scraped. To roast a Westphalia-Ham. From the same.
She noticed it and murmured, sadly: "It's the beetroots. You understand, it's the hard season now." "But the beetroot-days are past, my Roseline! The bad seasons are over, over for good, over for good and all!" And I laid stress on every syllable; and, though I was whispering in her ear, I heard the words "for good and all" bursting from my lips like a triumphant shout.
