The key grated in the door behind me, and it opened to admit the gaoler and Diccon with my dinner, which I was not sorry to see. "Sir George sent the venison, sir," said the gaoler, grinning, "and Master Piersey the wild fowl, and Madam West the pasty and the marchpane, and Master Pory the sack. Be there anything you lack, sir?" "Nothing that you can supply," I answered curtly.
"You have your human weaknesses, after all," John laughed. "Well, I stole a pocketful of marchpane." Annunziata drew away again, her little white forehead furrowed. "Stole?" she repeated, reluctant to believe. "Yes," said he, brazenly, nodding his head. "Oh, that was very wrong," said Annunziata, sadly shaking hers. "No," said he.
In the meantime, several minutes previously, Berangere had coaxed the goat into a corner of the room with a marchpane cake, without any one having noticed her. In an instant they had become good friends.
The tarts, biscuits, marchpane, and sweet wine had the greatest charm for the children; and, besides, the /Schultheiss/ and the two burgomasters annually received from some institutions some article of silver, which was then bestowed upon the grandchildren and godchildren in regular gradation. In fine, this small festival was not wanting in any of those things which usually glorify the greatest.
"It's a good thing that you've put so much marchpane on it," he said. "You know she always loves to have something to give away." Then lie inspected the polished safety lock that lay next to the plate and caressed the hard leaves of the potted palm that shadowed Mamma's place at the Christmas table. "You have painted the flower vase for her?" he asked. Brigitta nodded.
Moreover, I will say for thee, Susan, that thou hast bred the girl as becomes one trained in my household, and unless she have been spoiled by resort to the Scottish woman, she is like to make the lad a moderately good wife, having seen nought of the unthrifty modes of the fine court dames, who queen it with standing ruffs a foot high, and coloured with turmeric, so please you, but who know no more how to bake a marchpane, or roll puff paste, than yonder messan dog!"
Four brethren were they, which did on either side conspire to poison the other two, and so halve their land in lieu of quartering it; and at a mutual banquet these twain drugged the wine, and those twain envenomed a marchpane, to such good purpose that the same afternoon lay four 'brave men' around one table grovelling in mortal agony, and cursing of one another and themselves, and so concluded miserably, and the land, for which they had lost their immortal souls, went into another family.
"Ay 't will put us to our trumps to make ready enough hot victual for all," replied the elder's wife. "They shall have none of the marchpane thou didst make yestere'en, Priscilla!" expostulated Desire Minter anxiously. "There is no more than enow for us that be women." "That will rest as our dear mother says," replied Priscilla smiling into Dame Brewster's face.
The pavement was a vast plate of jelly, with a pattern of mosaic in various colours; the columns, which had the appearance of porphyry, were sausages, long and thick; the socles and capitals were of Parmesan cheese; the cornices of sugar, and the tribune was made of sections of marchpane.
You won't forget the marchpane?" John was in a state of mind that perplexed and rather annoyed him.
