"I should agree," I replied, "with one other proviso." "To wit," said she, with a glass of wine half-way to her lips. "That the right person saves them from frizzling to a cinder."
Olivia, who was drawing the heavy curtain across the window, was relieved to hear this. In another quarter of an hour the little room wore a more cheerful aspect. The sticks crackled and blazed lustily; the green-shaded lamp diffused a mellow light. The tea-tray was set and the plate of French toast was frizzling gently on a brass trivet.
Jenks brought her a biscuit, a tin of meat, and that most doleful cup of champagne. "It is not exactly frappé," he said, handing her the insipid beverage, "but, under other conditions, it is a wine almost worthy to toast you in."

Her last glance left a faint, sad sting in Walter's heart, and he began to think whether he had not been too hard upon her. In any case, the sooner he was out of the house the better! He must no more trifle with the girl than a dipsomaniac with the brandy bottle! All the time of this last scene, the gorgeous book was frizzling and curling and cracking on the embers.
Fancy the butcher Abel piling up his reeking carcasses and setting them on fire, while on the other side stood Cain the green-grocer frizzling his cabbages, turnips, carrots, and other vegetable matter! What a spectacle! The gods of Olympus would have sickened at it!

The Canadian, half reclining upon the grass, was watching with especial interest a large piece of mutton, which, supported upon a spit of iron-wood, was frizzling and sputtering in the blaze of the fire.
The sun was high in the heavens when my companion woke me from a heavy sleep and announced that the porridge was cooked and there was just time to bathe. The grateful smell of frizzling bacon entered the tent door. "River still rising," he said, "and several islands out in midstream have disappeared altogether. Our own island's much smaller." "Any wood left?" I asked sleepily.

What are you worth, you hoary inebriate? Speak, or die! 'Seven and eight, said the landlord, 'and a bogus thrip-penny.
