When properly kneaded and fermented, it is divided into pieces of a certain weight, and baked. Sometimes, in farm houses, a portion of rice flour, boiled potatoes, or rye meal, is mixed with the flour, previous to kneading the dough. The rye and rice serve to bind the bread, but the potatoes render it light and spongy.
Along the water's edge in the distance, down in the depths below her, ancient Mexican women were washing garments by a process which must have been old in Pharaoh's time: by spreading them on clean rocks and kneading them or applying brushes. The river flowed placidly; the sunlight enveloped water and rock and shore and the patient women bending over their tasks.
"I hear and I obey," replied he and did as she commanded him do. So he fell to rubbing feet and kneading calves, and found them softer than silk. Then said she, "Go higher with the massage;" and he, "Pardon me, O my lord, to the knee but no farther!" Whereupon quoth she, "Durst thou disobey me?: it shall be an ill-omened night for thee!"
Inside of the pail is a kneading prong c, in the shape of a gooseneck, that is revolved by turning the handle d. The flour and other materials for the dough are put into the pail, and they are mixed and kneaded mechanically by turning the handle.
The whole charge must be mixed and mixed as it steadily thickens so that it will be uniform throughout. I am like some frantic baker in the inferno kneading a batch of iron bread for the devil's breakfast. "It's an outrage that men should have to work like this," a reformer told me. "They don't have to," I replied. "Nobody forced me to do this.
I don't believe it would cost more than twenty-five cents, for you know we have our own eggs." "Good! Then what else could I have? We can't have more than three things." "Let me think for a minute and I will perhaps be able to suggest something." She went on kneading her bread while the children watched her.
It was a dogged monotone, and what was that odd movement of the curtain at his back? Yes, his hands were behind him clutching and kneading a fold of the cretonne. 'You are feeling uncomfortable, my friend, was my comment. Suddenly he threw back his head I saw the dent of it and spoke up so that I could not miss a word. 'Very well, sir, you shall see them at supper to-night; I will ask them both.
My father rushed to him, and, while the women looked out for the usual remedies of cold water and hand-rubbing, applied a strong pressure to his side, kneading it with his hands; and the patient seemed gradually to be relieved by that process. This happened about the time when he was most anxious for the result of the trial which was to deprive him of his children.
Every drop of the little blood there is in the feeble old creature's body seemed to fly up into his face. He made quite an overpowering effort; he really looked as if he would drop down dead of fright at his own boldness; but he forced out the question for all that, stammering, and stuttering, and kneading desperately with both hands at the brim of his hideous great hat.
It was some Vienna Pamphleteer of theatrical imaginative turn, finding the thing apt, a year or two afterwards who by kneading different dates and objects into one, boldly annihilating time and space, and adding a little paint, gave it that seductive mythical form. Cut down to the practical, it stands as above: by no means a bad thing still.
