"Cindy is getting more fussy and exacting every year. But she has cooked for the family so long that she seems to think the kitchen is hers. If she were not such a superior cook, I wouldn't put up with her whims, but in these days, when everybody is having so much trouble with servants, we'll have to humour her. She's a faithful old creature. You might cook on the chafing-dish in the dining-room.
"It is an undying lamp from the tomb of Charlemagne," observed my guide. "That flame was kindled a thousand years ago." "How ridiculous to kindle an unnatural light in tombs!" exclaimed I. "We should seek to behold the dead in the light of heaven. But what is the meaning of this chafing-dish of glowing coals?"
I hate you!" but she said only, "It's great fun for a while; I wouldn't fancy it as a permanent thing." "It surely must be different from the conveniences of your home." "Rather," she laughed as she began cutting from the smoked meat that hung in the storeroom. Now it was Lawrence who was speaking. "I guess she'd surprise us if we could supply her with a chafing-dish.
When a man seeks a woman's society it is because he has need of her, not because he thinks she has need of him; and the parlour of the girl who realises it, is the envy of every unattached damsel on the street. If the wise one is an expert with the chafing-dish, she may frequently bag desirable game, while the foolish virgins who have no alcohol in their lamps are hunting eagerly for the trail.
He sat down, smiling. "Don't ever expect to feed any man over forty on star-dust. Hilda knows better, don't you, Hilda?" Hilda was bringing in the tray. There was a copper chafing-dish and a percolator. She wore her nurse's outfit of white linen. She looked well in it, and she was apt to put it on after dinner, when she was in charge of the office.
I've two trunks of duds, myself." "Two trunks! Why did you bring so much?" "Had to have it. There's lots of things I carry around with me beside clothes. Why, I've brought a whole chafing-dish outfit." "Goodness, Alicia," exclaimed Bernice, "do you think Uncle Jeff won't give us enough to eat?" "I take no chances. But it isn't that. It's thusly.
We live in an ugly, square apartment house a kind of quadrupedifice and our cook is in love, consequently her omelettes are like antimacassars; but I have a chafing-dish, and the most wonderful maid, and our tea-parties are famous honey-combed with countesses and curates, to say nothing of curiosities.
"Tell me first about yourself. What sort of a place is this you are living in?" "You mustn't criticize our suite!" she said gaily. "This is a combination bedroom, dining-room, and kitchen. I am the cook and housemaid, and Papa Claude is the butler. You ought to see the way I've learned to cook on the chafing-dish!" Quin was not in the least interested in her culinary accomplishments.
Claire was sufficiently French to be intolerant of badly cooked food, and instead of resigning herself to eat and grumble, after the usual habit of lodging-house dwellers, resolutely set to work to improve the situation. The coffee machine had now a chafing-dish as companion, and it was a delightful change of work to set the two machines to work to provide a dainty meal.
I shall do the cooking in a chaffing-dish here it is, you see. I've been taking lessons in chafing-dish cookery every day for weeks, and it's awfully amusing, it is really. And it's much better than ordinary cooking, and cheaper too. Ozzie loves it." Mr.
