"Ay; but see, lass," answered the baker's lady, "there's twa o' them faulded unco square, and sealed at the tae side I doubt there will be protested bills in them." "Is there ony letters come yet for Jenny Caxon?" inquired the woman of joints and giblets; "the lieutenant's been awa three weeks." "Just ane on Tuesday was a week," answered the dame of letters.
So Cousin Monica was at the door in a moment, over her shoulder calling to us, 'Come, girls. 'Please, not yet, my lady you alone; and he requests the young ladies will be in the way, as he will send for them presently. I began to admire poor 'Giblets' as the wreck of a tolerably respectable servant.
The giblets, when done, may be chopped fine and added to the juice. The preferred seasonings are one tablespoonful of Madeira or sherry, a blade of mace, one small onion, and a little cayenne pepper; strain through a hair sieve; pour a little over the ducks and serve the remainder in a boat. Served with jellies or any tart sauce.
'And what of the rest of the servants, are they better? he resumed. We saw little or nothing of the others, except of old 'Giblets, the butler, who went about like a little automaton of dry bones, poking here and there, and whispering and smiling to himself as he laid the cloth; and seeming otherwise quite unconscious of an external world. 'This room is not got up like Mr.
At which, so says our informant, the whitewash brush fell from the delighted artisan's hands, and in a shorter time than is consumed in the telling, a surprised and smiling man was sitting at her polished kitchen table chatting cosily with his mourning hostess, while she served him with giblets and gravy and rice and potatoes "an' coffee b'iled expressly."
The first comers, having found out their waiting servants, and consigned the smoking steeds to their care, seat themselves in the verandah, and eagerly watch every fresh arrival. Up comes a buggy. 'Hullo, who's this? 'Oh, it's "Giblets!" How do you do, "Giblets," old man? Down jumps 'Giblets, and a general handshaking ensues.
Schum's old negro cook, who wore her feet wrapped in gunny sacking, and every odd and end that came down in the day's waste baskets, from empty spools to nubs of pencil, stored away in the kink of her hair, would somehow invariably send up the giblets along with the Beckers' Sunday allotment of chicken.

Clean and skin the giblets very carefully, stew them with a small quantity of water, onion, black pepper, and a bunch of sweet herbs, till nearly done. Let them grow cold: and if not enough to fill the dish, lay at the bottom two or three slices of veal, beef, or mutton.
To a stranger the names sound uncouth and meaningless, the fact being, that we all go by nicknames . 'Giblets, 'Diamond Digger, 'Mangelwurzel, 'Goggle-eyed Plover, 'Gossein' or holy man, 'Blind Bartimeus, 'Old Boots, 'Polly, 'Bottle-nosed Whale, 'Fin MacCoul, 'Daddy, 'The Exquisite, 'The Mosquito, 'Wee Bob, and 'Napoleon, are only a very few specimens of this strange nomenclature.
Let them all simmer together, till the herbs are tender, and the soup is finished. Send it to the table with the giblets in it. Let the livers be stewed in a saucepan by themselves, and put in when you dish. RICH GRAVY. Cut lean beef into small slices, according to the quantity wanted; slice some onions thin, and flour them both.
