Eugenia's Bob was to be left at Locust until after she had made her trip abroad. Joyce had a fresh blue satin ribbon packed away in her satchel to tie around her Bob's neck just before reaching home.

Standing thus he saw other denizens of Calais spring as if from the ground miraculously to swell the hue and cry; and a dumpling of a gendarme materialized from nowhere at all, to fall in behind the rabble, waving his sword above his head and screaming at the top of his lungs, the while his fat legs twinkled for all the world like thick sausage links marvelously animated.

Is it likely that high words have resulted all through that 'dumpling' contest?" Pao-yue and Lin Tai-yue blurted out laughing. "You don't tell me, cousin Secundus," Lin Tai-yue put in, "but I know all about it, even though I have asked no questions."
Roll out and cut into four-cornered pieces; in each square place a German plum which has had the pits removed and a mixture of sugar and cinnamon; put in place of the pit.
