Lester, the comedian, and young Van Bibber had known each other at the university, when Lester's voice and gift of mimicry had made him the leader in the college theatricals; and later, when he had gone upon the stage, and had been cut off by his family even after he had become famous, or on account of it, Van Bibber had gone to visit him, and had found him as simple and sincere and boyish as he had been in the days of his Hasty-Pudding successes.
Notwithstanding, he thinks a nobleman, particularly an English nobleman, is a far greater man in New England, than he is among the real middle-state families of New York. "Dear Hasty-Pudding, what unpromised joy Expands my heart to meet thee in Savoy!
Souls and bodies should go on together; and you will find that a hearty breakfast won't spoil the little hymn the morning-glories sung;" and David set her a good example by eating two bowls of hasty-pudding and milk, with the lovely flower in his button-hole. "Now, what are we to do next?" asked Christie, when the usual morning work was finished.
Among the Natchez Indians of North America young braves who had taken their first scalps were obliged to observe certain rules of abstinence for six months. They might not sleep with their wives nor eat flesh; their only food was fish and hasty-pudding.
In their early days, the present generation of dalesmen fed almost exclusively upon oatmeal; either as 'hasty-pudding, that is, Scotch oatmeal which had been ground over again, so as to be nearly as fine as flour;... or 'lumpy, that is, boiled quickly and not thoroughly stirred; or else in one of the three kinds of cake which they call 'fermented, viz., 'riddle cake, 'held-on cake, or 'turn-down cake, which is made from oatcake batter poured on the 'bak' ston'' from the ladle, and then spread with the back of the ladle.
Higginbotham's niece a ball of the consistence of hasty-pudding hit him slap in the mouth, giving him a most grim aspect. His whole person was so bespattered with the like filthy missiles that he had almost a mind to ride back and supplicate for the threatened ablution at the town-pump; for, though not meant in kindness, it would now have been a deed of charity.
However, when supper was set on the table, and she had blown the horn at the door and waited, and nobody else came, she turned with sudden life upon her father and her brothers, who had already begun to taste the smoking hasty-pudding. "Where are the others?" she cried out, shrilly. "Where are Louis and Richard?" The men glanced at one another under sullen eyelids, but nobody answered.
Besides wheat, rye, barley, and oats, this country produces a good deal of Meliga, or Turkish wheat, which is what we call Indian corn. I have, in a former letter, observed that the meal of this grain goes by the name polenta, and makes excellent hasty-pudding, being very nourishing, and counted an admirable pectoral.
If he cannot be at the trouble of this, or, if attempting it, he finds his optics will not penetrate the mist, let him ask himself whether dame Nature is a good setter of bones, or is very expert in stopping dangerous bleedings from wounded arteries; or if a simple diet, say for example hasty-pudding and water-gruel, personified by any fertility of poetic fancy, can smooth one's pillow when his head aches, or bathe one's body when burning with fever?
"But Joe said she was hungry, and I guess she'll get off the eggs long enough to eat. Sh! She's coming now!" The yellow hen had indeed yielded to the temptation of Peggy's hasty-pudding.
