"Come in by all means," said the Hedgehog-mother, graciously. "I am sorry to be obliged to receive you in this humble apartment." "Gypsies!" growled Uncle Columbus, who was brushing the currants and crumbs off his coat with a duster.
Beat white of two eggs to a stiff froth, add four tablespoons of powdered sugar and spread on top and brown. Pare, core, and chop fine eight tart apples.

A portage of several miles in which some small lakes occurred would take us, they said, into a large lake. Beyond this they could not see. Pete brought back with him a hatful of ripe currants which he stewed and which proved a very welcome addition to our supper of corn-meal mush. The report of water ahead made us happy.

Apples should be pared and quartered, gooseberries and currants should be picked and cleaned, before they are put into the batter. Or make a thick paste, roll it out, and line a bason with it, after it has been rubbed with a little butter. Then fill it with fruit, put on a lid, tie it up close in a cloth, and boil it for two hours.
One pound of raisins, stoned, and cut in half. One pound of currants, washed and dried. Half a pint of milk. Half a glass of wine. Half a glass of brandy. A tablespoon of mixed spice, mace, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Half a pint of the best brewer's yeast; or more, if the yeast is not very strong.
