I have heard all about your marriage to a very noble highwayman. Ah, you made a mistake in that; you were worthy of a Doone, my child; your frying was a blessing meant for those who can appreciate. 'My husband can appreciate, she answered very proudly; 'but what I wish to know is this, will you try to help me?
Great were the preparations. Many cakes and pies and piles of sandwiches had been made ready. Also there was a wash boiler full of coffee and a galvanized tub brimming with lemonade. For the Frying Pan was doing itself proud. Phil and his sister drove over together. The boy had asked Bess to go with him, but Cuffs had beaten him to it.
Get busy and do what you have to do to-day, then we can leave this frying pan to-morrow with nothing on our minds." "I haven't anything to do," said Martin. Howard picked up his hat and caught it with his head in the manner of a vaudeville artist. But he didn't go. He stood waiting, keyed to a great sympathy.
It was to mix flour and water together into a thin batter, then fry the grease out of bacon, take the meat out of the frying pan and pour the batter in, and then "just let her rip awhile over the fire."

They came in flocks, each with flowers, most with a towel or some small remembrance; then the elders began to come, merchants with comforts, blankets, and towels, hardware men with frying pans, flat irons, and tinware.
Two frying pans were now produced, and from a haunch of venison, frozen as hard as a block of wood, thin chips were cut with an axe, and with ample pieces of fat were soon sizzling in the pans and filling the air with an appetizing odour, and in spite of the bleak surroundings the place assumed a degree of comfort and hospitality.
Patsy, thumping energetically the bottom of a tin pan, sent them trooping to the mess-house. There it was evident that the breakfast had been unduly hurried; there were no biscuits in sight, for one thing, though Patsy was lumbering about the stove frying hot-cakes. They were in too great a hurry to wait for them, however.
Of course he expected besides these to take along a little plain grub, and some blankets, and a frying pan and kettle or so. The English friend has known several Americans, so he explains patiently. "I know this seems foolish to you," he says, "but you must remember you are under the equator and you must do things differently here.
