Carre merely said: "Put my haversack under my head." Evening was coming on; he prepared, gravely, to spend the night among the beetroots. And there he spent it, alone with a cold drizzling rain, meditating seriously until morning. It was fortunate that Carre brought such a stock of courage into hospital, for he needs it all.
I like that," said the illustrious surgeon, pointing at the dish with his ringed forefinger. "You know how to make him you make him with creams. Is he chickens or lobsters? I like lobsters best, but chickens is goot too. The garnish is lofely anchovy, olive, beetroots; brown, green, red, on a fat white sauce! This I call a heavenly dish.
Take some red beetroots, wash thoroughly and peel, and then boil in a moderate quantity of water from two to three hours over a slow fire, by which time a strong red liquor should have been obtained. Strain off the liquor, adding lemon juice, sugar, and salt to taste, and when it has cooled a little, stir in sufficient yolks of eggs to slightly thicken it. May be used either cold or hot.
"This time it's the old woman," said their grandfather; "but, as like as not, it will be the old man next." And then any quarrelling there was came to an end, and was forgotten before the end of the story. This is the story. An old man and an old woman lived in a little wooden house.

But there were few of them, and they are soft, and I am none the worse. If, however, I had not by good luck thrown away the beetroots, which are hard, my skull would certainly have been cracked."
Being in a good humour, the Bey took the present in good part, and gave the Khoja several pence in return. After some days the Khoja thought he would take something else to the Bey, and having some fine large beetroots, he set off as before. On his way to the palace he met a man, who saluted him. "What are you doing with all those beetroots?" said he.
Then the bad murderer bought a field, and because he bought it with blood-money, everything he planted came up red. I wish it was true; but, of course, I know it can't be, though a good many things would come up red, like sanfoin and scarlet clover and beetroots." "A jolly good yarn," declared Raymond.
Ellen would have liked to keep Mene Tekel in her place and engage a smart town girl, whose hands were not the colour of beetroots and whose breathing could not be heard through a closed door; but Joanna stood firm Mene had been her faithful servant for more than seven years, and it wasn't right that she should have a girl from the town promoted over her.
