Lorna was greatly pleased with the goose, and the butter, and the brandied cherries; and the Earl Brandir himself declared that he never tasted better than those last, and would beg the young man from the country to procure him instructions for making them.
"What they have here is made of fine meal with sugar in it." Jimmy made a wry face. "Wouldn't you like to have some fried chicken with cream gravy?" he whispered. "And some candied sweet potatoes and corn pones and pear pickle," Molly broke in. "And hot biscuits. But what shall we finish off with, Miss Brown?" "Brandied peaches and ice cream and hickory-nut cake." Jimmy gave a delighted laugh.
Now add the sugar and boil slowly for fifteen minutes, stirring constantly; if not thick enough boil longer, being very careful not to let it burn. Take off the fire and pack in small jars with brandied paper over them. The quince that comes first into the market is likely to be wormy and corky, and harder to cook than the better ones.
There, from 1802 to 1804, all the bourgeois of Soulanges played at dominoes and a game of cards called "brelan," drank tiny glasses of liqueur or boiled wine, and ate brandied fruits and biscuits; for the dearness of colonial products had banished coffee, sugar, and chocolate. Punch was a great luxury; so was "bavaroise."
Heliers. It was clear, however, that Detricand felt differently. The moment she touched him he became suddenly still.

The first warm, spring-like night of the season, and the seats at the Concert des Ambassadeurs were crowded by the Parisians consuming their brandied cherries under the canopy of fluttering light green leaves of the opening limes. I sat, one of the audience, and heard the band clashing, and watched the dancers flit on and off the glittering diminutive stage, with indifferent eyes and ears.
"If you knew what you were saying you'd hold your tongue," he retorted angrily. "Ain't you goin' to eat yo' supper?" inquired Sarah anxiously, "that herrin' is real nice and brown." "I don't want anything. I'm not hungry." "Mebbe you'd like one of the brandied peaches I'm savin' for Christmas?" "No, I'm dead beat. I'll go up to sleep pretty soon." "Do you want a fire? I can lay one in a minute."
Michael did the marketing, and the list went through as Gaspard had planned it, with some slight adaptations to the exigency, such as the substitution of twenty-five cans of tomato soup for the fresh vegetables with which Gaspard had planned to make his tomato bisque, and brandied peaches in glass jars instead of peach soufflé.
By the grace of the powers of unexpectedness neither shafts nor harness broke. Outside in the darkness Tom Tripe peered through brandied eyes at a great shadow that hunted to and fro a hundred yards away, chasing something that was quite invisible, and making enough noise about it to awake the dead.
