"If you want to see a clean ice-box, look at this one. Yes, Kennedy always carries fresh cream to eat on his oatmeal. I'm not particular. The tin cow's good enough for me." "Most of you boys smoke so much that all victuals taste alike to you," said Mrs. Kronborg. "I've got no religious scruples against smoking, but I couldn't take as much interest cooking for a man that used tobacco.
"It's perfectly lovely! It's as cold as an ice-box and the stones are all green and mossy. Look out now, Mops, I'm coming to the other bucket." The two buckets bumped together, and Molly grabbed at the other one as it passed.
With that I rattled the toilet-things, to give my mistress warning and she rose and called me in. The two dined alone, as usual, and I knew by Mr. Wace's manner at supper that things must be going badly. He quoted the prophets something terrible, and worked on the kitchen-maid so that she declared she wouldn't go down alone to put the cold meat in the ice-box.
We learned not to object when the ice-box was set up in the hall so near the grate that the drip-pan had to be emptied every hour, and the iceman had to come twice a day. We learned to step over rolls of rugs and to bark our shins on rocking-chairs and to trip over hidden objects with only a pleasant smile. We screened one porch entirely, and furnished it as a study for Aubrey.
She read the new advertisements aloud with ardor and with faith to believe that the apartments described in them were every one truthfully represented, and that any one of them was richly responsive to their needs. "Elegant, light, large, single and outside flats" were offered with "all improvements bath, ice-box, etc." for twenty-five to thirty dollars a month. The cheapness was amazing.
In the basement, as he had subconsciously noted on his headlong dash to question Lydia Carr, the furnace doors swung open, and the lids of the laundry tubs had been left propped up, after the unavailing search.... He plodded wearily up the basement stairs and on into the kitchen. Perhaps the ice-box had something fit to eat in it the fruit intended for Nita's and Lydia's Sunday breakfast.
"There are some things I have not yet got clearly, Edward," began Kennedy. "Now where was the body, exactly, when you opened the door?" Edward pointed out the exact spot, near the side of the kitchen toward the door leading out to the breakfast room and opposite the ice-box. "And the door to the side street?" asked Kennedy, to all appearances very favorably impressed by the young man.
The censure of a dog is something no man can stand. But I rove, as Burton would say. After the ice-box, the cellar. Like all true householders, Roger was fond of his cellar. It was something mouldy of smell, but it harboured a well-stocked little bin of liquors, and the florid glow of the furnace mouth upon the concrete floor was a great pleasure to the bookseller.
She was always pushing it up and repinning it into place, as if it were too heavy for her small head. "I wonder if there's anything to eat in the house," her son said. "I wonder." They moved together toward the ice-box. "Mother," said Pete, "that piece of pie has been in the ice-box at least three days. Let's throw it away." She took the saucer thoughtfully. "I like it so much," she said.
Peel and divide into sections three Florida oranges; put the oranges in the centre; dust powdered sugar over all, and set the dish in the ice-box. Just before serving pour over the salad two wineglassfuls of arrack. A plain salad dressing is served with orange salad in some places in the East, but would not suit the American palate.
