Of course no flowers could be used in that temperature, so the silver vases held branches of spruce, hemlock, and other Canadian firs. The French cook had to be very careful as to what dishes he prepared, for anything with moisture in it would freeze at once; meringues, for instance, would be frozen into uneatable cricket-balls, and tea, coffee, and soup had to simmer perpetually over lamps.
Karen repeated to him Tante's sallies at the expense of this or that person and the phrase with which she introduced these transformations of human foolishness to the service of comedy. "Come, let us make méringues of them." The dull or ludicrous creatures, so to be whipped up and baked crisp, revealed, in the light of the analogy, the tempting vacuity of a bowl of white of egg.
It was a sight to have melted any heart, save those around them; but bloodshed and crime had choked up every avenue of feeling, and left them, not men, but tigers. "'Alphonse de Meringues, cried out the boy, in answer to a question regarding his name.
As a matter of fact, he hated tea so sweet; but he felt it was strategic to fix himself in Mrs. Beagle's mind as a polished eccentric. "You must have a meringue," she said. "Ah, Mrs. Pomeranian has them. Mrs. Pomeranian, let me present Mr. Gissing." Mrs. Pomeranian, small and plump and tightly corseted, offered the meringues, while Mrs.

The porter up above has a thousand different tastes. He makes his bow to meringues, and admits wings of chickens.
By general consent all the cakes were pooled, set out on hard-backed exercise books in lieu of plates, and handed round the company. Bess, whose basket contained two thermos flasks, a dozen cheese cakes, and some meringues, was felt to have brought a valuable contribution.
Hot food for one that must be for the geographical don, who never came in for Hall; cold food for three, apparently at half-a-crown a head, for some one he did not know; hot food, a la carte obviously for the ladies haunting the next staircase; cold food for two, at two shillings going to Ansell's rooms for himself and Ansell, and as it passed under the lamp he saw that it was meringues again.
A general laugh welcomed this speech. "We have a goose!" said Minard junior. "The carts are unloading!" cried Madame Thuillier, as "marrons glaces" and "meringues" were placed upon the table. Mademoiselle Thuillier's face was blazing. She was really superb to behold. Never did sisterly love assume such a frenzied expression.
I'm younger than you are, you know ... six months ... but I'll grow up. I will grow up, Quinny, I swear I will, and get full of the milk of lovingkindness. Pass the meringues. They play the devil with my inside, but I like them and I don't care ... only Lord help the actors to-night!" "I suppose Lady Cecily got tired of you, Gilbert," Henry said deliberately.
