Disregarding the melee I leaped through the wreckage with Garrick. The "ice-box" door barred all further progress. How was Garrick to surmount this last and most formidable barrier? "A raid! A raid!" cried a passer-by. Another instant, and the cry, taken up by others, brought a crowd swarming around from Broadway, as if it were noon instead of midnight. There was no time to be lost now.
There were two doors from the cabin, each opening into a separate, though parallel, passageway that doubtless led forward to about the same general arrangements we had on the Whim one past three staterooms, through a galley and into the sailors' quarters; the other, also past a stateroom or two, but opening to the ice-box room and galley.
"Then you'll like your soda from the ice-box?" "Soda? For what?" "For your whisky and soda, before you go to bed, sir." "Oh, certainly, yes. Bring the soda. And just a moment, Mrs. Pitman: Mr. Holcombe is a total abstainer, and has always been so. It is Ladley, not Holcombe, who takes this abominable stuff." I said I quite understood, but that Mr. Ladley could skip a night, if he so wished.
Pinky was silent till he had eaten about two-thirds of the total amount of fried eggs, cold lamb and ice-box curios. When Claire came over to see how they fared, Pinky removed himself, with smirking humility, and firmly joined himself to Jeff and Mr. Boltwood.
A cool room is always insisted on for making the sauce, but to the amateur I say, oil, eggs, and bowl also, should be put in the ice-box until well chilled, and even then mishaps may come from using a warm spoon from a hot kitchen drawer or closet; that, therefore, must be cool also.
But may he not still be finer than his two-by-four brother whose temperament ran only from the ice-box to family prayers and back to the ice-box?
The ice-box was a massive affair, almost like a small room. It was in a remote corner of the lower hallway, and its walls were thick and impenetrable. "Let me out, oh, let me out," came in muffled tones, as the Judge and Anne came up. "My dear child, my dear child," said the Judge, "how could you do such a thing?" "I shall freeze. I shall freeze," wailed Judy.
I have just given my heroine a pair of calm gray eyes, shaded with black lashes and hair to match. A voice floats down from the upstairs regions. "Dawn! Oh, Dawn! Just run and rescue the cucumbers out of the top of the ice-box, will you? The iceman's coming, and he'll squash 'em." A parting jab at my heroine's hair and eyes, and I'm off to save the cucumbers. Back at my typewriter once more.
Out of the cabin, aft, led a narrow passageway. Off this, on either side, were a narrow galley, cupboards, ice-box and toilet room. Nearer the stern were two compact state-rooms, one intended for two "line" or "deck" officers, the other for two engineer officers. There were other features about the "Pollard" that will be described as need arises.
Keep boiling till the meat falls from the bones take up then, remove bones, mince the meat fine, season it highly and return to the liquor, stirring it well through. Pour over the beef, let stand uncovered in a very cool place to harden. Serve in very thin slices it will be like jelly. This is a cold-weather dish, as even an ice-box will not harden the sauce properly in summer.
