Boil a small tea-cup of barley in water till it is soft, with a tea-cup of raisins; put in nutmeg and sugar, and break in it toast or dried rusk. Calf's Foot Blancmange.
She rose at once, bathed her face and brushed her curls, and quitted the bedroom. Mrs. Slimmens, in the little kitchen, was bustling about the midday meal. "Your dinner is all ready, Miss Dane," that worthy woman said, "and the young gentleman told me not on any account to allow you upstairs again until you'd had it. Sit right down here. I've got some nice broiled chicken and blancmange."
'Chuck us over another dollop of that there white stuff, Bob, shouted the Semi-drunk to Crass, indicating the blancmange. Crass reached out his hand and took hold of the dish containing the 'white stuff', but instead of passing it to the Semi-drunk, he proceeded to demolish it himself, gobbling it up quickly directly from the dish with a spoon.
Fortunately, before Mr Waller had time to ask any further questions, the supper-bell sounded, and they went into the dining-room. Sunday supper, unless done on a large and informal scale, is probably the most depressing meal in existence. There is a chill discomfort in the round of beef, an icy severity about the open jam tart. The blancmange shivers miserably.
Mangan stood, a massive presence, at the top of the stairs, and talked massively to Lady Isabel of Dick's condition. "Very critical no worries nourishment would he have a nurse?" To which Lady Isabel, a poor, shaken, pallid Lady Isabel, with no more backbone than the shape of blancmange, which, it must be said, she somewhat resembled, replied: "Nothing would induce him!"
"How would you like to be sick, old fellow, with no lemons at hand, and no grapes?" "And no wine, Norton, and no sago, and no clean sheets? I know who likes to have his bed changed often. And no cups of tea, and soda biscuit, and blancmange, and jelly, and nice slices of toast." "What do they have?" Norton asked with some curiosity. "Some coarse mush; now and then a piece of dry bread; and water.
Strain into molds, and let it stand in a cold place all night to harden. For chocolate blancmange add two tablespoonfuls of scraped chocolate dissolved in a little boiling water. Make a blancmange as on p. 238; but, just before taking from the fire, add the yolks of four eggs, and then strain. The whites can be used for meringues.
First the elephant raised herself on her fore-legs, which movement tilted us all back, then she heavily rose on her hind ones, too, and we rolled forwards, threatening to upset the mahout. But this was not the end of our misfortunes. At the very first steps of Peri we slipped about in all directions, like quivering fragments of blancmange. The journey came to a sudden pause.
If it hadn't been for this idiotic woman she and Con would, of course, have eaten their blancmange without. Suddenly the idea came. "I know," she said. "Marmalade. There's some marmalade in the sideboard. Get it, Con." "I hope," laughed Nurse Andrews and her laugh was like a spoon tinkling against a medicine-glass "I hope it's not very bittah marmalayde."
