As a rule we shared it with only an elderly Englishman and his son who read the Standard in the opposite corner after our race with them to the café, the winners getting the one English paper first and we were seldom intruded upon or interrupted except by the occasional visit of the caramei man with his brass tray of candied fruit, impaled on thin sticks, like little birds on a skewer, which led us into our one extravagance.
Add all the flavorings. When the mixture is cold, add the cream, and partly freeze it; then add the fruit, and freeze to the right consistency. This should be packed at least two hours to ripen. This will serve eight persons. 1/2 pound of sugar 1 pint of water 1 pint of cream 1/2 pint of chopped mixed candied fruits 1 teaspoonful of vanilla 4 tablespoonfuls of sherry Yolks of six eggs
For the table was fully set a stuffed ham at one end, a chicken or partridge pie at the other, side dishes of smothered rabbit, or broiled chicken, at least four kinds of sweet pickle, as many of jelly and sour pickle, a castor full of catsups, tomato and walnut, plain vinegar, pepper vinegar, red and black pepper, and made mustard, all the vegetables in season I have seen corn pudding, candied sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, mashed and baked, black-eyed peas, baked peaches, apples baked in sugar and cloves, cabbage boiled with bacon, okra, stewed tomatoes, sliced raw tomatoes, cucumbers cut up with young onions, beets boiled and buttered, and string beans, otherwise snaps, all at one spread.
As soon as each guest had stuffed himself to satisfaction he relinquished his place to someone else and the food was passed again.

The following list of articles kept in store will enable a cook to give her cakes, creams, etc., just that “foreign” flavor that home products so often lack: almonds, almond paste, candied cherries, candied angelica, candied orange, lemon, and citron peels, pistachio-nuts, orange-flower water, rose-water, prepared cochineal, maraschino, ratafia, lemons, extract of vanilla, and sherry.
The Vertues. It comforteth the Stomach and Heart, it helpeth concoction. Candied Cherries, the Italian way. Take Cherries before they are full ripe, the stones taken out, put clarified sugar boiled to a height, then pour it on them. Chicory Roots candied the Italian way.

She went shopping that day, and bought a blazing scarlet cashmere shawl. Mr. Scott did not return in the evening, but she was not troubled. She had a roast pheasant, champagne, and candied fruits for supper, and she was happy. She went shopping the next day, and bought a flashing set of jewels. Mr. Scott did not return in the evening, but she had another luxurious supper, and was still happy.
Put in a large platter in a cool place and whip with a wire egg-whip until perfectly smooth and velvety. Set on ice until wanted. In the summer set the cream on ice before whipping. A good plan is to set the bowl in another one filled with ice while whipping. Line the edges of a mold or a large glass dish with lady fingers and fill up with whipped cream.
