A room of matting and marble-topped, bottle-littered walnut table, of white iron hospital-cot and curly horsehair divan, a dapple-marble mantelpiece of conch-shell, medicated gauze, bisque figurines, and hot-water kettle; in the sheerest of dimity, still dainty of ribbon, the figure of Miss Hoag, hugely, omnipotently omnipresent. "That better, Jas?" Silence. "Better? That's good!
Pound all these thoroughly together and then put them into a stewpan with the broth that has been reserved in a basin, and having warmed the bisque thus prepared rub it through a sieve into a fine puree. Put this puree into a soup pot and finish by incorporating therewith the crawfish butter and season with a little cayenne pepper and the juice of half a lemon.
An inscription, "Ego Magister Nicolaus de Bartholomeo de Fogia Marmorarius hoc opus feci;" and another, "Lapsis millenis bis centum bisque trigenis XPI. bissenis annis ab origine plenis," indicate the artist's name and the date of the work.
A term applied to uncooked vegetables, to indicate that they are served in their natural state without sauce or dressing applied. Potatoes au naturel are served cooked; but unpeeled. A sauce made with white stock and cream or milk-named from a celebrated cook. Ice cream served in glaced shells, sometimes in paper cases. Bisque.
Yet in the last three years it had been hard to keep up the standard which she had set for herself. Toys were made in Germany, and the men who had made them were in the trenches, the women who had helped were in the fields the days when the bisque babies had smiled on happy working-households were over.
Would the dainty little Bo-peep, who looked like a bisque doll, ever find her straying sheep? Then motor "togs" a long linen duster, with a cap and goggles seemed a most convenient mask for so many young men, who were not vain enough to want to don doublet and hose. But there were some courtiers, and they did look romantic.
"I told you that we should have no difficulties," he exclaimed. Alban helped himself to some superb bisque soup and permitted the waiter to fill his glass from a flask of Chablis. "It was quite an accident upon my part. I went up to the Castle as you advised me and then down into the old town. Lois is with her friends there. I have had a long talk to her and now I understand everything."
"Oh! that's all right," said Miss Mink in a tone that she did not recognize as her own, "the matches are in that little bisque figure on the parlor mantel. I'll get you to leave the front door open, if you don't mind. It's kinder hot in here." Five o'clock that afternoon found Miss Mink and Alexis Bowinski still sitting facing each other in the front parlor.
And those bisque figures that you get with every pound of tea you buy; and this, this, THIS," he whimpered, waving his hands at the decorated sewer-pipe with its gilded cat-tails. "Oh, speak to me of this; speak to me of art; speak to me of aesthetics. Cat-tails, GILDED. Of course, why not GILDED!" He wrung his hands. "'Somewhere people are happy. Somewhere little children are at play "
No, no; I must go there, that's clear. Then if it's attended to, I'll live all the longer, with nothing on my mind." Phronsie, meanwhile, was going around from room to room in a pleased way, and touching different objects gently "Everything's new, isn't it, Polly," she said at last, "when you stay upstairs? Oh! there's my kittens in the basket," pointing to a bisque vase on the table.
