"Well, I reckon anybody could live on fried bread and coffee-jelly in a pinch," Old Heck joked back, "but for my part I'd be a good deal happier to mix a biscuit or two like Ophelia makes once in a while in with it" giving the widow a worshipful look. It was Ophelia's turn to register pleasurable confusion. After supper Old Heck and the widow washed the dishes.
Probably this, also, was the reason she usually made it the last thing at night before Skinny and Old Heck left to go to the bunk-house. Coffee-jelly was the regular, inevitable, evening meal dessert for the entire week. "It ain't so very filling," Skinny remarked the first time he tasted the delicate dish, "but it's tender and has a dandy flavor!" Carolyn June blushed at the compliment.
Carolyn June once more provided the evening dessert of coffee-jelly and Skinny finished teaching her the art of dipping bread in milk and egg batter, frying it in hot butter, and calling the result "French toast" Skinny again put on the white shirt and the shamrock tinted tie. He had not dared to wear what Chuck called his "love-making rigging" during the week of the Rodeo.
Ophelia herself was clever, particularly at making biscuits and dainty salads. Carolyn June's sole accomplishment in the art of preparing food was the making of coffee-jelly. This she had learned at college taught, perhaps, by the other girls during stolen midnight frolics.
He thoroughly enjoyed the supper Skinny and Carolyn June prepared and joked the girl about her coffee-jelly. "She's learning how to make French toast, now," Skinny said proudly; "it won't be long till she's a darned good cook!" "Why not?" Carolyn June laughed. "See who I have to teach me!" and Skinny flushed while his heart hammered joyously.
