From various cupboards in dining-room and adjoining kitchen she assembled a glass pitcher of sweet milk, a glass pitcher of buttermilk, a plate of cold cornbread, a platter of cold fried chicken, a dish of golden butter, a pan of cold fried potatoes, a jar of preserved crab apples and another of peach butter. Susan watched with hungry eyes. She was thinking of nothing but food now.
Sometimes the worms float on top of the soup. Often they are found in the cornbread. The first suffragists sent the worms to Whittaker on a spoon. On the farm 'is a fine herd of Holsteins. The cream is made into butter and sold to the tuberculosis hospital in Washington. At the officers' table we have very good milk.
"You poet!" she smiled. But a pang shook her heart. It was sweet, it was perilously sweet, but it could not be for long now. "John," she began, when like a happy child he had loitered out with her to feed the chickens, "I've got something to tell you. I'm sorry." Scattering crumbled cornbread on the pecked, bare ground under the willows, he gave her a confiding look. Her heart stopped.
He thought about the people in the stories. He thought about the places mentioned and wondered what they were like. There were thoughts inside Abraham Lincoln's head that even Sally did not know anything about. Abe took another bite of cornbread and swallowed hard. "Don't you like it?" asked Sally anxiously. "I know it doesn't taste like the cornbread Mammy used to make."
If any one had told me I could have lived off of cornbread, a few months ago, I would have been incredulous; now I believe it, and return an inward grace for the blessing at every mouthful. I have not tasted a piece of wheatbread since I left home, and shall hardly taste it again until the war is over. I do not like this small burg.
The plates were only slabs of bark. On each slab Nancy put a piece of fried squirrel and a hunk of cornbread. The children sank down on one of the bearskins to eat their first meal in their new home. By this time it was quite dark. They could see only a few feet beyond the circle of light made by their campfire. Nancy shivered. She knew that they had neighbors.
When they had now swallowed a few morsels of the sliced venison ham, prepared with all the delicacy the nearly exhausted resources of the vessel could supply, accompanied by a small portion of the cornbread of the Canadian, Captain de Haldimar prevailed on them to swallow a few drops of the spirit that still remained in the canteen given them by Erskine on their departure from Detroit.
The dirt floor felt cold to her bare feet. Her last pair of moccasins had worn out weeks ago. "I don't mind the cornbread at least, not much." Abe finished his piece, down to the last crumb. "If I seem down in the mouth, Sally, it is just because " He walked over to the fireplace, where he stood with his back to the room. "He misses Nancy," said Dennis bluntly, "the same as the rest of us.
I want to visit some of the places again with Mina and live over our honeymoon. And," he went on "yes, I want some more of the good southern cooking. You ought to eat their cornbread, Wallace! there's nothing like it anywhere else in the world. They cook corn meal in a dozen ways, from corn pone to really delicate dishes. And they know how to cook chickens, too.
Next morning after we had a hearty breakfast of cornbread and Buffalo steak, Jim said, "Now, men and women, Will gave you all a treat in Buffalo meat last night, but if all goes well, and we meet with nothing to detain us, in one week from tonight I will give you a treat that will discount his."
