1 small head celery, 1 large onion, 1 carrot, 1 turnip, 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped parsley, P.R. Barley malt meal, Mapleton's or P.R. almond or pine-kernel cream, 3 pints boiling water. Well wash the vegetables and slice them, and add them with the parsley to the boiling water. See notes re casseroles in Chap. Then strain through a hair sieve.
The kitchen gleamed with copper and granite ware; huge pots for soup and vegetables, mammoth double boilers of white enamel, Nancy was firm in her conviction that rice and cereal could be cooked in nothing but white enamel, rows upon rows of shelves methodically set with containers and casseroles and odd-shaped metal serving-dishes, as well as the ubiquitous blue and rose-color chinaware presenting its gay surface from every available bit of space.
She wished to see the galley and invaded Uncle Caragol's dominions, putting his formal lines of casseroles into lamentable disorder, and poking the tip of her rosy little nose into the steam arising from the great stew in which was boiling the crew's mess. The old man was able to see her close with his half-blind eyes. "Yes, indeed, she was pretty!"
Then appetite now being sufficiently whetted there came quail, in piping hot little casseroles ; and then half a grape-fruit set in a block of ice and filled with wine; and then little squab ducklings, bursting fat, and an artichoke; and then a café parfait; and then as if to crown the audacity huge thick slices of roast beef!
A row of bright copper casseroles hanging against the wall like the burnished shields along the sides of the ancient triremes, if this comparison be not too noble for such a lowly subject gleamed vaguely in the flashing of the red fire-light, and a large, half-empty wine-skin lying on the floor in one corner looked like a beheaded body carelessly flung down there.
N'importe, said I, the thing is over; it was rather good fun, too, upon the whole saving the "chute des casseroles;" and as to the lady, she must have seen it was a joke as well as myself. At least, so I am decided it shall be; and as there was no witness to our conversation, the thing is easily got out of.
It was a fine old kitchen, though now the tiles were mostly gone from the floor, and the cracked walls were smeared with uncouth paintings, the work of some childish soul some German mess sergeant, perhaps, who had been installed there, but today Jeanne reigned again, bending her philosophic face over the smoking stove, and evoking with infallible arts aromatic and genial vapors from her casseroles.
