Here's a pail of hot coffee with cream and sugar all mixed. Lookout, Pat! That's jelly-roll and chocolate éclairs! Don't mash it, you chump! Why didn't you come with me?"
'Is dinner ready? she asked, looking at the small clock which she usually carried about with her from room to room. 'Yes 'm. 'Then ring the gong. And tell Carpenter I shall want the trap at a quarter past two, for two. I'm going to shop in Hanbridge and then to meet Mr. Stanway at Knype. We shall be in before four. Have some tea ready. And don't forget the eclairs to-day, Bessie. She smiled.
Last time I had to spend the night here I couldn't get to sleep for hours, and when I did I dreamed that I was chasing chocolate eclairs round and round Trafalgar Square. And I never caught them either. Long before the night was finished I would have given anything for even a dry biscuit. I made up my mind I'd always keep something here in case I ever got locked in again yes, smile.
"She oughtn't to eat frivolous things like éclairs. I wonder at her lack of judgment." "She isn't in mourning," said Elinor, making a discovery. "I wonder who she is. She's impressive enough to be the president of the board, and Bruce says that's the most important person in the place." "She's rather too collap-y for my taste," volunteered Patricia, gathering up the remains of their repast.
So Roberta had nothing but ginger-snaps and Babbie solemnly presented each guest with a bottle of olives. Madeline had brought strawberries with sugar to dip them in, and Helen, Betty and Eleanor discovered to their amazement that they had all chosen chocolate éclairs. "It's not a very substantial supper," said Madeliner "but we can stop at Cuyler's on our way back."
"How could you contrive to run up such a bill in one winter?" exclaimed Hugh in astonishment. "Why, you see there were a good many girls in the dormitory, and we always had plum-cake, eclairs, and French candy; and then I have no doubt but that the servants took their share," said Bessie, with a half sob. "And why was your name selected for the bills?"
He is hopelessly inefficient. But there are no Men Servants to be had and we'll have to get along." 1 A. M. I have been on watch all evening, but everything is quiet. I must now go to bed, as the Manual says, page 166: "Retire early and get a good night's rest." APRIL 16TH. In camp. Luncheon of sardines, pickels, and eclairs as no one likes to cook, owing to smoke in the eyes, etcetera.
It brings out what's strongest in us, every time. And it does that whether it's five dollars or five hundred thousand dollars. If if we love chocolate eclairs and the movies better than roast beef and good books, we're going to buy them, whether they're chocolate eclairs and movies on five dollars, or or champagne suppers and Paris gowns on five hundred thousand dollars!"
He turned to Bennington Cole. "I feel rather proud of my success in this establishment, Benny. A year ago Isabel would have handed you out nothing except a couple of anemic sugar wafers with the cup; now you can get English muffins and all kinds of sandwiches and éclairs which is at least a little better." "Congratulate you," said Cole, with a laugh. "Oh, I haven't finished," Wilkinson went on.
The rest of us begin to feel lonesome, thinking of being left out! We had a grist of good times all together, didn't we? Remember the little 'treats' when you always brought home olives, and Billy sage cheese? Laura Ann used to change about sometimes eclairs, sometimes sauerkraut! Always sardines for me. Oh, do you remember the treat with a capital 'T, when we had ice cream and angel cake?
