They had games on the wide lawn, they sang their sweet, happy choruses, Giuseppe played and danced, Peace and the preacher whistled, Elizabeth told them stories, and Aunt Pen surprised them all by serving sparkling frappé with huge slices of fig cake, such as only Minnie, the cook, could make.
Since the dining room is apt to be well filled as it is, the frappe table had best be established in some other room. Unless you are entertaining guests to the number of a hundred or more, never use paper doilies at a formal afternoon tea! A pretty custom dictates that young girl friends of the hostess serve the guests.
He upset three vases of flowers in the reception hall, and spilled a glass of frappé down his dress when I tried to give him some to drink, and pulled over the bird-cage, so's the water was all spilled, and stepped into the dog's drinking trough at the back door while I was trying to get them out of the house without the ladies seeing me. He makes rivers out of every bit of water he comes near."
A TRAVELLING THEATRICAL COMPANY came to us; it was part of a company from the Odeon, among whom were several old friends to whom we gave supper at La Chatre, two successive nights with all their friends, after the play; songs, laughter, with champagne frappe, till three o'clock in the morning to the great scandal of the bourgeois, who would have committed any crime to have been there.
"And a bottle of wine Moet and Chandon white seal," broke in Brockton, "frappé you understand, and make it a rush order. I have to get away in a few minutes." Laura pursed her delicately chiseled lips together in a pout. She liked to do that on every possible occasion, because, having practiced it at home before the mirror, she thought it looked cunning.
And all this being done through an interpreter, and the consul having unlimbered his falchion and removed his helmet, he and the governor had an absinthe frappé and made a date for a bridge game. "Te tamai i te taporo i te arahu i te umaru," the natives termed the skirmish. "The conflict of the limes, the coal, and the potatoes."
How was it possible for these people to look so quietly, eye to eye, upon the most vitally perfect of living beings? How could they turn from me to orange frappe or salted almonds? Once or twice I caught some faint echo of the talk about us. "Where is she?" asked one voice, made by curiosity more penetrating than its owner realised. "Julia's seen her; she's talked and talked till I had to come."
In one of these boxes appeared the proof of Curly's truthfulness three cans of oysters, delicacies hitherto unheard of in that land! In the other box was an object almost as unfamiliar as an oyster can, an oblong, smooth, and now partially frost-covered object with tinfoil about its upper end. A certain tense excitement obtained. "I wonder if she'll get frappe enough," said Dan Anderson.
It stood half an hour in a warm room before thawing enough to drip slowly into our glasses and was the most perfect champagne frappé I ever saw. A bottle of cognac was a great deal colder than ordinary ice, and when we brought it into the station the moisture in the warm room congealed upon it to the thickness of card-board. After this display I doubted the existence of latent heat in alcohol.
Now, Mamie, what's that you're drinking? Ah! A gin ricky. And just how much does that cost here? And you, Flossie? An absinthe frappe? Ah! Very good. And what is the retail price of that particular drink?" and so on ad nauseum. "Very true," replied authority, "that would of course be impossible. But to be reimbursed you must set down in detail every item of expenditure, and its price."
