Carson had dropped her knife and seized the smoking hot frying-pan of bacon as a weapon. She was cool and collected, but one could see in her eyes the little devil of battle that sometimes sat in Bob's eyes as she swung the frying-pan back for a blow. Suddenly out flashed a cold steel eye, menacing, unanswerable, looking straight into her own.
Of course you know, he added, after a moment's pause, as he drew his chair towards the fire again, 'I should not hesitate to avail myself of your services if you could help me at all; but mercy on us! Here he rumpled his hair impatiently with his hand, and looked at Tom as if he took it rather ill that he was not somebody else 'you might as well be a toasting-fork or a frying-pan, Pinch, for any help you can render me.
"I'll not be wastin' candles when I make a strike, savve!" the pocket-miner remarked savagely to the coffee, which he was settling with a chunk of ice. "Not on your life, I guess rather not!" "Kerosene?" Corliss queried, running a piece of bacon-rind round the frying-pan and pouring in the batter. "Kerosene, hell!
He had the blanket and the handle of the frying-pan that Tommy had dropped. He said that was all there was left of the frying-pan. He thought the handle might be useful somewhere, so had brought it back with him. "I suggest that we take the handle home and frame it. We might give it to Tommy as a souvenir," suggested Harriet. "Never mind. I've thouvenirth enough as it ith.
That is why I must see Dorise Ranscomb and ascertain from her exactly what she has heard. I know the police tracked Hugh to London, and for that reason he went with Benton down into Surrey out of the frying-pan into the fire." "Well, before we can go farther, it seems that we should ascertain who shot Yvonne," Howell suggested.
Their furniture was antique but not massive; nor could any of it be fairly reckoned superfluous. Of the very limited number of culinary utensils, the frying-pan was by far the most important. Its handle served as a poker, and its pan, as well as for frying, roasting and boiling, did duty for a teapot and a slop-basin. They had no crockery.
"Got to do something to pass away the time," Jack grinned, bringing his front sight once more to bear upon the coffee pot, already badly dented and showing three black holes. "And I ain't offering any violence to anybody. You can't hang a man, Mr. Stanley, for shooting up a frying-pan. And I wouldn't hurt you for anything!"
"You observe that Jeffrey used a gas-stove, instead of a coal fire, no doubt to economize work, but perhaps for other reasons. Presumably he cooked by gas, too; let us see." We wandered into the little cupboard-like kitchen and glanced round. A ring-burner on a shelf, a kettle, a frying-pan and a few pieces of crockery were its sole appointments.
The Indians were unaccustomed to the work, and were to undertake that of scouting along the hillside, and of watching by turns at night. The frying-pan was brought into requisition, a wooden handle being made for it. The hard upper crust was removed with the shovels, and the layer beneath this was sufficiently soft for the instrument to be used as a shovel.
If peeled before baking, cut in halves and put on a greased tin with a little nut-fat or butter on each. CHIPS. Cut into long chips and try in deep oil or fat. A frying-basket and stew-pan are the most convenient utensils, but they take a great deal of fat. A frying-pan and egg-slice will answer the same purpose for small quantities. Success depends upon getting the fat the right temperature.
