His sister at his side offered "the gentlemen" a fine assortment of bows, with varicolored bow-strings. Bows and arrows mated, the hunters marched in pairs to the screened-in breakfast room, looking out over the river. At each end of the table was a chafing-dish, and in the center was a huge cabbage surmounted by two natural-looking bunnies.
You wouldn't keep a coming champ waiting for his grub, would you? Look how he's lamping that candy." "Were you going to let the poor mite stuff himself with candy, Steve Dingle?" "Sure. Whatever he says goes. He owns the joint after this afternoon." Mamie swiftly removed the unwholesome delicacy. "The idea!" Kirk was busying himself with the chafing-dish. "What have you got in here, Steve?"
This chafing-dish, for the better carrying on the deception, may be inclosed in a painted tin box, about a foot high, with a hole at top, and should stand on four feet, to let the smoke of the lantern escape.
He was mixing ingredients in a chafing-dish as he spoke, and he wore the trying air of smug complacency that invariably accompanies that simple process. "No," he objected, as she tried to help him, "I will do the brain-work. Your part is to be feminine and rush briskly back and forth, offering me things I don't want.
It was a little scene, this, out of a story or a play. It didn't actually concern him.

"Why, that is fine and made with such a little fire! I would not have believed it possible." "You think that is good?" was the reply. "You will open your eyes when you see what can be done with the chafing-dish, creamed oysters, fudge, soups of all kinds, Welsh rarebits. I hope, Elizabeth, that you spoke to your mother about boxes. At Exeter, boxes are acceptable at all times."
Selden evinced an extraordinary interest in her household arrangements: complimented her on the ingenuity with which she had utilized every inch of her small quarters, asked how her servant managed about afternoons out, learned that one may improvise delicious dinners in a chafing-dish, and uttered thoughtful generalizations on the burden of a large establishment.
There all dismounted and followed him as he entered, sighing and weeping, and showed them the well whence he had issued; whereupon the Wazir sat down thereby and, sprinkling perfumes upon a chafing-dish, began to mutter charms and conjurations; for he was a crafty magician and diviner and skilled in spiritual arts.
As we opened the swinging door, a figure holding a chafing-dish in both hands attempted to rise from the cracker-box, but sank back again, shaking with laughter. "It's me, Boss dear! Don't look so scared, but I'm drunk as a fool. How many of them awful peaches did you eat, Missis?" "Only one," I said. "And you, Boss?" "Only one. How many did you eat?"
To start alone in Chicago, and live in your studio, and dine from a chafing-dish, and sleep in an unfolded combination bureau and refrigerator has more fascinations to your mind than to Mrs. Gordon's.
