He must find an assistant who would be silent and discreet and Frau Schimmel knew of one whom she could recommend, for her husband did not enjoy his newly acquired leisure; he had been so used to blowing a furnace and decocting medicines that he could not give up the occupation and consequently she could not roast so much as a pigeon without having his grim and blear-eyed visage peering over her shoulder.
That morning Sir Charles had ridden to Green Spring with her father; Mistress Lettice was in the still room decocting a face wash from rose leaves, dew and honey; young Shaw on his knees in the master's room, disconsolately poring over piles of musty papers in search of a misplaced deed which the colonel had ordered him to find against his return. It was a hot and listless afternoon.

It follows that both the active elements of the coffee-berry are necessary to insure its grateful effects, that the volatile and odorous principle alone protracts decomposition, and that careful preparation in roasting and decocting are essential to secure the full benefits of it as a beverage. It would be difficult to overestimate the practical importance of these results.
The specimens which succeed in doing so may be divided and transplanted to new soil with little trouble. This is the common practice in home gardens, and is usually more satisfactory than growing a new lot of plants from seed each spring. For drying or for decocting the leaves are cut when the flowers appear. They are dried in the shade.
