Dean. "I had such a time with my jell this summer, and now this fall my grape jell's just as bad. This is all running over the glasses. There, I'll set it on this paper. I do hate to see a clean cloth all spotted with jell, even if it is a picnic when people think it doesn't make any difference. I see Martha has a friend. Well, that's nice.
A tall figure joined William, awkwardiy. "Hello, Evan!" "How is he, Bm?" "He's awake today." "That's good. Anything I can do?" "No, I guess not. An he needs is somethin' to eat." "I jest brought a chicken up, an' some jell an' things the women sent. I'll stay with him till twelve, then Folsom will come in."
Deena had been trying in vain to make quince jelly stiffen jell was the word used in the receipt book of the late Mrs.
The threat always made Old Man Hinds jump like the close explosion of a stick of giant powder. Bruce looked at the "light" bread and the Oregon-grape "jell," the steaming coffee and the first butter he had seen in months, while before his plate on the white tablecloth at the "transient" end of the table, sat a slice of ham with an egg! like a jewel its crowning glory.
But Mitch took up the jar and tried to get the top off. It would have took a monkey wrench to get it off; so after tuggin' at it and not bein' able to budge it, he put it down. Just then she came up and said, "Do have some of the jell." Mitch began to laugh. Then pa took the jar and he couldn't get the top off either, and he put it down.
Had not May wielded the big wooden spoon for at least three minutes? Had not Lulu eaten a mouthful of skimmings on the sly? Were they not testing the product now? The little ones had surely a right to say "we," and Dinah accepted the partnership willingly. "It's first-rate jell," she remarked. "Be hard in no time."
"I want you to take the glass of wine jell on the second shelf in the pantry over to Mrs. Googe's after you finish your supper you can leave it with the girl and tell her not to say anything to Mrs. Googe about it, but just put some in a saucer and give it to her with her supper. Maybe it'll tempt her to taste it, poor soul!" The twins sat up very straight on their chairs.
For answer, Bedelia threatened to quit, declaring shrilly that she would not work where nothing was safe under lock and key, and a girl might work her fingers to the bone putting up jell for spoiled, ungrateful, meddlesome Matties to waste, and so forth and so on. Mary V wisely withdrew from the kitchen without having her question answered. She asked no more questions of any one.
"I've got thirty-five jars of the best kind of preserves and canned goods in Gilead, though I say it as shouldn't," she announced, one day, when she had stopped on her way by the crossroads to look over the new establishment. "Most of them are pints, and besides I've got land, I don't know how many glasses of jell.
I'm willin' to bet my new rug she's goin' to be married tonight! "Mebbe she's makin' jell'," suggested Hannah Sophia. "Jell'!" ejaculated Mrs. Jot scornfully. "Do you s'pose Eunice Emery would build up a fire in the middle o' the afternoon 'n' go to makin' a jell', this hot day? Besides, there ain't a currant gone into her house this week, as I happen to know."
