Pour it over the top of the pudding and bake until the fruit is cooked. Stale cake, crumbed fine, in place of bread, is an improvement. Take rather stale bread baker's bread or light home-made cut in thin slices and spread with butter. Add a very little water and a little sugar to one quart or more of huckleberries and blackberries, or the former alone.

It was the custom in this household for the several members to remain very much by themselves; the three ladies were perhaps nearly as rigorous recluses as himself; and, speaking of the isolation which reigned among them, Hawthorne once said, 'We do not even live at our house!" He seldom went out by day, unless for long excursions in the country; an early sea bath on summer mornings and a dark walk after supper, longer in the warm weather, shorter in the winter season, were habitual, and a bowl of thick chocolate with bread crumbed into it, or a plate of fruit, on his return prepared him for the night's work.

If he kept her in view on the one hand and kept so much else on the other the way he crumbed up his bread was a proof why did he hover before her as a potentially insolent noble? She couldn't have answered the question, and it was precisely one of those that swarmed.

Soak one pint crumbed bread in one quart milk; add three tablespoons of sugar, pinch of salt, and the huckleberries. Put all into a greased pudding dish with flakes of butter on top. Bake forty-five minutes. Serve with hard sauce. This pudding is economical and dainty if nicely made. Brush small molds with butter, fill with crumbed bread and dried English currants.

It also refers to balls of minced meat, egged, crumbed, and fried until crisp. Thickening made with butter and flour. A stew or hash of game. Minced poultry, ham, or other meats mixed with a thick sauce. An acid sauce. Shallot. A variety of onion. A sherbet, frozen punch, or water ice; the same as sherbet. Literally, puffed up.

Put the meat, raw, through a meat chopper, add the biscuits crumbed, the onions grated, and all the seasonings. Work it well with the hands, and mix in the eggs, slightly beaten. Pack the mixture in clean salt bags or bags about that size, plunge them in a kettle of boiling water, boil rapidly ten minutes, and simmer three hours. When cool, turn the bags wrong side out off the meat.

We sat down to supper as glum as pump-handles, there were some fritters I never knew anybody beat your mother at fritters smoking hot off the stove, and some maple molasses in one of the best chiny tea-cups; I knew well enough it was just on purpose for my last night, but I never had a word to say, and Nancy crumbed up the children's bread with a jerk.

The tripe can be merely cut in squares, rolled in flour, salted and peppered, and fried brown in drippings, or the pieces may be dipped in a batter made as for clam fritters, or egged and crumbed like oysters, and fried. In cities it can be bought already prepared. In the country it must first be cleaned, and then boiled till tender.

"There is a real greatness," he says, "even in the way that some men will buy a toy to a child. Even in the smallest matters the munificent man will act munificently!" As Gaius, mine host, munificently did. Speaking of children, what a night of entertainment good old Gaius gave the children of the pilgrim party! "Let the boys have the crumbed milk," he gave orders.

Taking her bread in both hands, she crumbed it into her goblet of milk, and began to dip it out with the handle of her fork. The girls looked on and smiled, and Dotty gave a little purr of satisfaction. "Everybody'll think mother doesn't teach her good manners," thought poor Susy, hardly knowing whether she ate bread or ashes.
