He looked as if he were meditating picking Billy up and walking off with her. "But, Billy," he protested just above his breath, "this isn't sugarplums nor frosting; it's plain suicide standing out in this wind like this! Besides " He stopped with an angrily despairing glance at her surroundings.
"Then why leave it?" he asked brusquely. She leaned her forehead on the frosting glass and her eyes grew misty. "You know," she said softly, and her voice trembled. "In all the world I have only my my talent and my self-respect. If I were to do what you and Aunt Caro, in your wonderful generosity, propose oh, don't stop me, you must listen I should only have my talent left.
The scene struck cold against the heat of his anticipation. He sat down in one of the rose-colored chairs, and Julia brought more tea for him, more Lady-bread-and-butter, more pound cakes with nuts and frosting. Ralph was frankly curious. He was also frankly jealous. He was aware that Derry had met Jean for the first time at his mother's dinner dance. And Derry's millions were formidable.
Grate one-half pound of almonds, beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth, add gradually one pound of pulverized sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon. Roll out this dough into half finger lengths and about as thick as your little finger. Bake, and when done ice each one with boiled frosting. Take two cups of matzoth flour, one-quarter pound of powdered ginger, mix together with three eggs.
On each cake burned five candles, and on one cake was the name "Flossie," while the other was marked "Freddie." The names were in pink icing on top of the white frosting that covered the birthday cakes. "Oh! Oh! Oh!" could be heard all about the room. "Isn't that too sweet for anything!"
If made in summer, be sure and keep the whites of the eggs on ice until ready for use and beat them in the coolest place you can find, as it will make a much richer frosting. The small white sago called pearl is the best. The large brown kind has an earthy taste. It should always be kept in a covered jar or box. This pudding, made with tapioca, is equally as good. Serve with any sweet sauce.
Doubt was at an end; he had hung out the white flag; they flocked down to the stones, no longer at all in fear of double-dealing, and crowded to get at the salt; the rocks where it was strewn were covered with more sheep than Ellen would have thought it possible could stand upon them. They were like pieces of floating ice, heaped up with snow, or queen-cakes with an immoderately thick frosting.
Let him find a girl with money and position and the right sort of connections that will do him some good and give him a lift in the world. Marriage ought to have some frosting besides what's on the wedding cake. Folks dream on that, and very appropriately. It's the stuff dreams are made of, in more senses than one; and after that flimsiness is over, there ought to be something substantial left.
The island was one of those high mountains poking up out of the sea, with green grass on top, like colored frosting to a cake; and gray rocks below, all hollowed out into deep caves and crannies, as if mice had been nibbling at the cake. These caves are just the sort of places which smugglers and pirates choose to hide in with their treasures, for no one would think of hunting for any one there.
Don't they look fine? One choc'late loaf, two caramel layers, and one white square one. Looks like a graveyard with them all set even in a row, doesn't it? There ought to be three frosting pans to lick." "I don't see a single any," remarked Allee, poking into every nook and cranny in hope of finding their treat. "I guess she licked them all herself."
