For hours McElroy lay staring into the night sky with its frosting of great northern stars, and passed again over every week, every day, nay, almost every hour, since that morning in early spring when she had stepped off the factory-sill to accompany little Francette to the river bank where Bois DesCaut stood facing a tall young woman against the stockade wall.
"Soldiers!" he cried, as they came near to the snow-bound heights, "we cannot have our plum-cake without its frosting. Like children, we will have the frosting first and the cake later. Lannes and his followers have not cleaned the snow off as thoroughly as I had hoped, but I fancy he has done the best he can, and it is not for us to complain. Let us on.
I wish I could take part of it home with me up to Beldingsville so I'd have SOMETHING new next summer. But of course I can't. Cities aren't like frosted cake and, anyhow, even the cake didn't keep very well. I tried it, and it dried up, 'specially the frosting. I reckon the time to take frosting and good times is while they are going; so I want to see all I can now while I'm here."
So the change was made, and general happiness all round had resulted so much so, that Bertram had said to Billy, when he heard of it: "It looks as if this was a case where your cake is frosted on both sides." "Nonsense! This isn't frosting it's business," Billy had laughed. "And the new pupils you have found for Miss Alice they're business, too, I suppose?"
The firefly of the tropics is more spectacular. He blazes forth like a meteor, setting all the thicket aglow for a moment. The lights of our fireflies are more like a frosting of the darkness, as when the moon shines in winter and the light glints from ice crystals hung on the frozen grass. I like ours best. The herald of the moon is the whippoor-will.
"There, that looks even nicer than it did at the fair; don't you think so, Abby?" "It looks perfectly lovely, Maria." "Well, here we are at last," announced Mrs. Whittle as she entered. "I had to wait till the frosting stiffened up on my cake." She bustled over to a table and began to take the things out of her baskets. Mrs. Daggett hurried forward to meet Mrs.
The snow was coming down in long, slanting lines and the sidewalks were all white, and where the lamplight shone on them they looked like the frosting on birthday cakes. People laden with bundles were diving in and out of all the shops.
Many a time he had warmed before Mr. Kirby's fire in the big living- and bedroom combined, and eaten Mrs. Kirby's fine white cake covered with frosting. Never before had he felt ill at ease in the presence of the kindly old man. "That's a genuine hound you got there, son, ain't it?" "Yes, sir," said Davy. "Good for rabbits an' 'possums an' coons, eh?" "He shore is!"
"He is the man that brought me over The Hill, Miss Blake after I'd lost my horse, you know." There was some urgency in Sheila's tone, a sort of prod to courtesy. Miss Blake settled back on her spine and recrossed her legs. "Well, come in," she said, "and shut the door. No use frosting us all, is there?" She resumed her spectacles and her reading of the "Popular Science Monthly."
Whites of three eggs and some sugar beaten together not quite as stiff as usual for frosting; spread over the cake, add some grated cocoanut, then put your cakes together; put cocoanut and frosting on top. WHITE MOUNTAIN CAKE. No. 2. Cream three cupfuls of sugar and one of butter, making it very light, then add a cupful of milk.
