"You know that it is morning in the middle of the night: how is it you could not foresee that you were to be driven to market? Thus and thus!" And turning him at every corner by which he would escape, the Khoja drove the distracted cock into the city. Tale 49. Hare-soup. One day there came a man from the village who made the Khoja a present of a hare.
He had gathered some of the leaves of the Labrador tea, and was drying them over the coals, intending to cheer his comrades with a cup of this beverage after supper. The hare-soup was boiling, and the "cook" sat listening to the cheerful sounds that issued from the pot now and then taking off the lid to examine its savoury contents, and give them a stir.

Nimmo built for his own residence when he was overseer of the roads, now turned into an inn, kept by his Scotch servant, who used to come with him to Edgeworthstown, and he gave us bread and butter and milk, and moreover, hare-soup, such as the best London tavern might have envied.
By Lucien's advice, however, they restrained themselves, and half of her was left for supper, when the "cook" promised to make them hare-soup. The head, feet, and other spare bits, fell to Marengo's share. The owl, whose flesh was almost as white as its plumage, and, as Norman well knew, most delicate eating, was reserved for to-morrow's breakfast.
"You are welcome," said their host; and he set a bowl of clear water before them. "What is this, O Khoja?" cried the men. "It is soup of soup of soup of the hare-soup," answered the Khoja. Tale 50. The Khoja out Fishing. One day the Khoja accompanied some men who were going a-fishing, and he became much excited in watching the sport.
They were like a party of school-boys, laughing, joking, and playing tricks with each other. Two of them undertook the preparation of hare-soup. Two others were appointed to roast a quarter of venison, keeping it turning as it hung by a cord in front of the fire, and being told that should it burn from want of basting they would forfeit their share of it.
Large as the hare was, she would have made but a meal for our four hungry voyageurs, had they eaten at will. By Lucien's advice, however, they restrained themselves, and half of her was left for supper, when the "cook" promised to make them hare-soup. The head, feet, and other spare bits, fell to Marengo's share.
Glass, that in order to make hare-soup you "must first catch your hare," has a wide significance. In art, literature, social life, morals even, you must first catch your man: that done, everything else follows as a matter of course. A man may learn much; but for the most important thing of all he can find neither teachers nor schools.
Such a variety was never seen even in the larder of a palace kitchen. The ground was strewed with animals like a dead menagerie. There were no less than a dozen kinds upon it! The hare-soup was now quite ready, and was accordingly served up by Lucien in the best style.
