A loud cheer greeted this declaration, then came more egg-nog, handshakes, embraces and torchlight serenades until midnight before the little house of the baobab. Tartarin-Sancho, however, was far from pleased.
"I won't!" said Cap, "until you have done your supper and washed your face! Your beard is full of crumbs!" "Very well, I can wait awhile! Meantime just brew me a bowl of egg-nog, by way of a night-cap, will you?" said the outlaw, drawing off his boots and stretching his feet to the fire.
Frosty mornings called for the comfort of hot toddy, wintry blasts for frothing egg-nog in the cup. Man thirsted and nature satisfied; the economy of the world was thus balanced and all was well. So reasoned Colonel Price comfortably, after his way. Colonel Price straightened up from his mint-picking with dew on his arm and a flush of gathered blood in his cheeks above his beard.
It should make a glass brimming full. Have a spoon with which to eat it. One egg, one-half a lemon, 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar, beat the white and yolk separately as for egg-nog; add the sugar to the yolk, then the lemon juice, then the ice, lastly the white beaten to a stiff froth.
Finally, she filled a goblet with the rich compound and handed it to her uncanny guest.

"That's civil, at all events, and candid," replied Frank; "and it's consolatory, too, for I can fancy no greater reproach to a man, than to be set store on by you. I do not comprehend at all, how A bears up under it. But come, do make that egg-nog that you're chattering about." "How will I make it, Harry with beer, or milk, or cider?"
