It stood ready upon the table, Charlotte's greatest success a big, old-fashioned orange "layer-cake," with pale yellow icing, twenty-three pale yellow candles surrounding it in a flaming circle, and one great yellow Maréchal Niel rose in the centre. "Whew-w, that's a beauty!" cried Doctor Churchill. "Did you make it, Fieldsy?" "Indeed I didn't," denied Mrs. Fields, with great satisfaction.
The utmost variety that she could hope for would be hot gingerbread instead of the last of Sunday's layer-cake, and maybe frizzled beef, since they had finished Sunday's roast in a meat pie this noon. "I didn't hear you come in," said her mother as Mary Alice opened the sitting-room door, "and I was listening for you."
Carl sat beside Adelaide Benner in the decorous and giggling circle that ringed the room, waiting for the "refreshments." He was healthily interested in devouring maple ice-cream and chocolate layer-cake. But all the while he was spying on the group gathering about Gertie Ben Rusk, Howard Griffin, and Joe Jordan.
They weathered through "The King's Highway" again, and sang a temperance anthem, and several other choruses, and then they all sat around the room, on the red and green plush chairs, and took a rest while Ella Anne and her mother passed around raspberry vinegar and layer-cake. Spectacle John was just calling them all to order again for another chorus when the minister put his head in at the door.
Coal usually exists in beds or layers with shale or rock between, much as a "layer-cake" is made, the layers of cake being represented by the coal and the icing between by these "rock-partings," as they are called. In rich fields, there are from three to ten of these rich layers or beds of coal, one above another.
"Mother!" exclaimed Roger, his eyes widening. "Is that a chocolate layer-cake? Where did it come from?" "I made it," said Mrs. Thayne. "Miss Estelle said I might and Annette was quite pleased to watch me, and see how an American cake was constructed." No doubt that the young people were frankly happy, though spending this holiday in so unusual a fashion.
"Once I ate a layer-cake. There was jam in it. I wouldn't care if it was apple jelly in it now I'd LIKE apple jelly in it now. Once I ate a pudding and a doughnut a-n-d a a I think it was a horse. I'd eat a horse now. Hush! Don't tell Aunt Olivia, but I'm going to eat to e-at Thom-as Jeffer " She swayed back on the pillows again.
Edward Finch-Brown! As Stillman returned a smiling assurance to Mrs. Robson's attempts to be impressive, a young woman in white arrived with ice-cream and messy layer-cake. Unconsciously Claire Robson began to smile. She could not have said why, but somehow the presence of Ned Stillman and Mrs. Condor at a table spread with such vacuous delights seemed little short of ridiculous.
They would have the whole crowd to dinner, twenty of us, bread and red wine and macaroni and music and talk, it was wonderful or I thought so! It was so different from Linda's ideas, of frosted layer-cake, and chopped nuts, and Five Hundred. I loved the studio, and they they all loved me, and he Royal loved me especially.
I'm VERY fond of layer-cake," Rebecca Mary sighed, "I suppose, though, after a few weeks" she shuddered "I shall be glad to have ANYTHING just common things, like crackers and skim-milk. Perhaps I shall want to eat a horse. I've heard of folks You get very unparticular when you're starving." It was five o'clock. They WERE going to have supper at half past.
