Would you say this, Hester?" She began her reading on an abstract subject which was a theme worthy of a logician and Hester was compelled to listen. Meanwhile, down in Fifty-four, a number of girls had gathered. Erma was making good use of the chafing-dish while Renee was passing salt wafers and blanched almonds. Erma was laughing merrily, as she poured the cocoa.
The party is ALL for you, and if you will accept our humble invitation come right into our room and make yourself at home." So the two D's went into the other girls' room, and Alicia got out her chafing-dish set and prepared for the feast. "How are you going to make fudge with nothing but chocolate?" laughed Dotty. "That's so," said Alicia, looking blank.
Boyd and Lucy were at the flat waiting for them when they arrived, and after a light supper, eaten picnic fashion around the chafing-dish, they started off for the novel experience of a Christmas night among the children of the slums. Betty did find the material which Mrs. Boyd had promised, and came home so eager to begin writing the tale, that she was impatient for morning to arrive.
An enormous chafing-dish, filled with burning charcoal, stood near the centre, and in a deep iron pan was placed a keg of oil, a hole having been driven into its head, through which a sort of hempen wick had been introduced; it flared and blazed like an overgrown flambeau, throwing a warm and glowing light over the entire of the wild yet well-filled apartment.
His room was as shabby as himself a table, an ink-spotted desk, a couch with a disreputable cover, a picture of Washington, a half-dozen books, and a chafing-dish. The chafing-dish was the hump and the hoof of his festivities. He made rarebits and deviled things with an air that had been handed down from generations of epicures.

The fairy ordered a gold chafing-dish to be set with a fire in it under the porch of her palace, with a box of the same metal.
The fatal moment drew near; their faces, though still calm, seemed slightly agitated by that strange excitement which always accompanies a double suicide. "Now," said Mother Bunch, "now for the fire!" She knelt down before the little chafing-dish, filled with charcoal.
Leroux, at these times, was very neglectful in regard to meals, prepared him an omelette, and brought it down in a chafing-dish." "How long did she remain?" asked the inspector of Leroux. "I er did not exactly open the door. We chatted, through er through the letter-box, and she left the omelette outside on the landing." "What time would that be?" "It was a quarter to twelve," declared Cumberly.
Sylvia was as pleased as a child at the idea of coming down to spend the night, stipulating that if it was still cold she should be allowed to make taffy and put it on the shed to harden, saying, with a pout: "At school and college there was always somewhere that I could mess with sticky things and cook, but here it is impossible, though mamma says I shall have an outdoor tea-room at the Oaklands all to myself, and give chafing-dish parties, for they are quite the thing.
I was deeply interested in this cult of the chafing-dish, which could, in an incredibly short time, serve up by the wayside a little feast fit for a king who had not got dyspepsia. "Can't you imagine the programme if we had gone to an inn?" asked Jack, proud of his bride's handiwork.
