"Lora, dear, gypsies never bear titles," remarked Aunt Lucas, patronizingly. "How about the Abbé Liszt?" triumphantly asked her charge. Aunt Lucas laughed coldly. "Liszt was Hungarian, not Romany. But your artist with the drumsticks certainly is distinguished-looking. If he only would not wear that odious scarlet uniform. I wonder why he does not sit down, like the rest of his colleagues."
But the fine bright girl with the slim slender waist, who had rushed on before him, and who seemed to him the loveliest of them all, began to laugh at him again and tease him. Run as he might, he shouldn't catch her, she jibed and jeered; never should he find his drumsticks again, she said. But then her mood shifted right round, and she flung herself down headlong, and began to cry.
I made up my mind, as the doctor says, that somebody in the world had got to choose drumsticks, and I might as well take hold of one." "But don't you ever get tired of it all, and long for something to rest or amuse you?" "Amuse! I couldn't be amused, child. I've been in too much awful earnest ever to be much amused again. No, I want to die in the harness. It's hard work I want.
If the bird is a large fowl, duck, or partridge, each breast will make three fillets, and leave a good piece with the wing, but average birds only make two breast fillets. Trim very neatly; leave no hanging skin; indeed, when filleting for chaudfroids the skin should be entirely removed, and both it and the leg-bones are removed for pies. When possible, it is better not to use the drumsticks.
In arranging a fricasseed chicken on the platter, put the neck and ribs at the left end of the dish and the backbone at the right end. Put the breast over the ribs, arrange the wings on each side of the breast, the second joints next to the side-bones, and cross the ends of the drumsticks over the tail.
Her hair had been torn out of its plaits from the speed with which she had flown through the bushes. She stood still, and looked back as if she were terribly frightened. But the lad thought to himself that if she had run away with his drumsticks, she should pay for it. And off they ran again, she in front, and he behind.
The remainder of the body is boiled down for oil, which is invaluable for boots of any kind, making them waterproof and pliable. I have frequently killed six or eight weekas in a single evening at my camp fire. I did not, however, eat all the drumsticks. We were up betimes, and after a hearty breakfast started for our last pull to the head of the lake, which we reached in the forenoon.
Chicken Saute a la Creole: Clean, singe and cut in joints two spring chickens, dividing the breasts lengthwise, and cutting drumsticks from thighs. Season well with salt and pepper. Melt in a frying pan two large tablespoonfuls butter, add the chicken, and let it brown slowly for five minutes. Have three large onions sliced thin add them and let brown but take care not to scorch in the least.
Berkley shook his head, and they went to the windows; below them surged the flood of dead wood driven before the oncoming waves haggard men, ragged men, small boys, darkies, Bowery b'hoys, stray red-shirted firemen, then the police, then solid double ranks of drums battered by flashing, brass-bound drumsticks, then line after line of blue and steel, steadily flowing through the streets and away, away into the unknown.
'It is better for me to beat the drum, he thought to himself again, and so he began to beat it. But it sounded horrid, and an echo came out from the kiln that seemed almost like the howl of a wolf. The drumsticks stiffened in Walter's hands, and he thought now they are coming...! Yes, sure enough, just then a shaggy, reddish-brown wolf's head looked out from under the kiln!
