Her Indian curries and Mulligatawny soup are especially popular: Major Stokes, the respected tenant of Fairoaks Cottage, Captain Glanders, H.P., and other resident gentry, have pronounced in their favour, and have partaken of them more than once both in private and at the dinner of the Clavering Institute, attendant on the incorporation of the reading-room, and when the chief inhabitants of that flourishing little town met together and did justice to the hostess's excellent cheer.
... ARSIKERE. We have our carriage gently shunted at a siding here, and stop under a banyan tree, and have our meal in the moonlight such moonlight and such a meal! I've heard so much of Indian cooking, of the everlasting chicken and curries, but out of our two tiny kitchens we get a dinner worthy of a moderately good French café, fish and beef, and game, and variety of vegetables.
Of course it does not make the least difference to me. The Sinclairs and the Bromptons and the Curries are to dine here tonight. I can see myself reflected in the long mirror before me, and I really think my appearance will satisfy even Gus Sinclair's critical eye. I am pale, as usual, I never have any colour. That used to be one of Jack's grievances. He likes pink and white milkmaidish girls.
Then she sputtered in deep indignation. "Why, how dare he make love to my niece? Why, the presumptuous thing! Why, the idea! He's a workingman!" Mrs. Saulisbury remained calm and smiling. She was the only person who could manage Mrs. Thayer. "Yes, that's true. But he's a college-bred man, and " "College-bred! These nasty little Western colleges what do they amount to? Why, he curries our horses."
A table was spread in the verandah with a snow white tablecloth, and all the conveniences of glass, plate, and cutlery, and covered with dishes of poultry, and meats, and rice, and curries, pilaus, and soups, all well cooked, with attendants doing their best to please us.
Men were growing tired of offering their other cheek to be smitten; they found it degrading, as do the Arabs. Why not import some of these sterner conceptions into our morality, as we import their peppery curries and kouskous and pilaffs into our cuisine? He was inclined to say amiable things about the English race.
"Put it there, mate," said he, with a roar like a fog-horn, "and drink up along o' me. My treat." Hurd nodded and became jovial. "On condition you join me at dinner. They make good curries here." "I've had curry," said Captain Jessop, heavily, "in Colombo and Hong-Kong frequent, but Hokar's curries are the best." "Ah!" said Hurd in a friendly curious way, "so you know this shanty?"
Our variety to-day has been the absence of our cook, and we are again left in charge, and we flatter ourselves the dinner was "immense." What more could you want? We are quite ambitious now, and have curries, rissoles, etc.
Food was sufficient, plenty of rice in various guises and frequent curries that despite the warm weather seemed to cool one down. There was also the usual NAAFI store and fresh fruit could be purchased daily.
They amuse themselves by putting on their ornaments, or by making curries and sweetmeats to please their husbands: but most of their time they spend in idleness, sauntering about and chattering nonsense. As rich Hindoos have several wives, the ladies are not alone; and being so much together, they quarrel a great deal. Some English ladies once visited the house of a rich Hindoo.
