Meanwhile Twemlow, in an increasing hurry of spirits, gets his hair down as well as he can which is not very well; for, after these glutinous applications it is restive, and has a surface on it somewhat in the nature of pastry and gets to the club by the appointed time.
The flesh of old animals contains more flavor than the flesh of young ones. Brown meats contain more flavor than white. Mutton is too strong in flavor for good stock, while veal, although quite glutinous, furnishes very little nutriment. Some cooks use meat that has once been cooked; this renders little nourishment and destroys the flavor.
