We greedily reached our hands towards it, when of a sudden, a new diversion gave us fresh mirth; for all the cheese-cakes, apples and tarts, upon the least touch, threw out a delicious liquid perfurne, which fell upon us.
But when luxury crept into our feasts, distributing was thrown out; for I suppose they had not leisure to divide these numerous tarts, cheese-cakes, pies, and other delicate varieties; but, surprised with the pleasantness of the taste and tired with the variety, they left off cutting it into portions, and left all in common.
Tongue and chicken, pigeon-pie, cheese-cakes, tarts, cake, fruit all had been neatly spread upon a tablecloth laid on the soft turf. Nothing had been forgotten. There were plates and knives and forks enough for everybody picnicking being a business thoroughly well understood at The Knoll; but there was a good deal wanting in the guests.
When you take it out of the Press, set on the fire two gallons of the same whey; then put your Cheese in a big bowl, break the Curd as small with your hands as you do your Cheese-cakes: when your whey is scalding hot, take off the scum: lay your strainer over the Curd, and put in your whey: take a slice, and stir up your Curd, that it may scald all alike: put in as much whey as will cover it well: if you find that cold, put it out, and put in more to it that is hot.
When this is taken away, another table is brought in with cheese-cakes; a third with butter and honey; a fourth with a pie; a fifth with a cream; and last of all, a table, with a wooden bowl of curdled milk. The company have no plates; but each Circassian carries a spoon and a knife in his girdle, and with these he helps himself.
As for the infantile Charley, his mind being altogether set on cheese-cakes, he had not remarked or been moved by Miss Hester's emotion; and the parents and the kind sister of course all promised not to reveal the little maid's secret. "I begin to think it had been best for us to stay at home," sighed Mrs. Lambert to her husband. "Nay, my dear," replied the other.
Add to this the more necessary part, which was: Building two ovens, about £25. Twenty pounds in stock for pies, cheese-cakes, &c. So that, in short, here was a trade which might be carried on for about £30 or £40 stock, required £300 expenses to fit up the shop, and make a show to invite customers.
The telegraph-post stood close beside it, and its wires hummed ceaselessly in the room somewhere in a corner of the ceiling a monotonous, barely audible sound, like a snow-storm. The two men sat in silence, Polunin broad-shouldered and bearded, Arkhipov lean, wiry, and bald. Alena entered bringing in curdled milk and cheese-cakes.
Laudersdale's eye and rushed madly together to become almond-pasty?" "With a method in their madness, I hope." "Yes, all the almonds not on one side." "In company with cheese-cakes, jelly, and pasty, simply, I should have claret and crackers at home, Capua willing. Will it pay?" "You shall have Port here, when Mrs. Laudersdale comes." "Not old enough to be crusty yet, Kate," said her husband.
And now Kitty had a servant, and used to sit every morning on a couch dressed in silks and jewels till dinner-time, when the most delicious hot beefsteaks and sausage pudding or roast goose were served up, with more sweet pies, fritters, tarts, and cheese-cakes than they could possibly eat.
