Then she poured what tea was left in the tea-pot into a small saucepan and placed it on the top of the oven, but away from the fire, cut two more slices of bread and spread on them all the margarine that was left; then put them on a plate on the table, covering them with a saucer to prevent them getting hard and dry during the night.
On the evening following this conversation cousin Dick entered the sitting-room the moment after his return from the City, and found his mother to all appearances alone. 'What a dear sweet little guileless angel cousin Priscilla is, to be sure! was his first remark. 'Then you have sold some of the stones! cried Aunt Margarine. 'Sit down, like a good boy, and tell me all about it.
The tobacconist should have had a crest, and the cheesemonger a war-cry. The grocer who sold margarine as butter should have felt that there was a stain on the escutcheon of the Higginses. Instead of doing this, the democrats made the appalling mistake a mistake at the root of the whole modern malady of decreasing the human magnificence of the past instead of increasing it.
In April an American newspaper man in London reported that he had forgotten what butter tasted like. It could only be obtained on the farms, and even those who made it were strictly limited in the amount that they could keep themselves. Not even margarine could be served at luncheon or dinner. There were long queues in front of the shops before the distribution was better systematized.
Above the flowers which Frances Freeland always insisted on arranging and very charmingly when she was there over bare shoulders and white shirt-fronts, those words bombed and rebombed. Brown bread, potatoes, margarine, carbohydrates, calorific! They mingled with the creaming sizzle of champagne, with the soft murmur of well-bred deglutition.

I will give an incident. It was a matter of grave urgency to the Government that margarine should be manufactured in this country.
Her cousin Albert regarded her with a startled look. He was in a margarine shop, and spent his days explaining that Margarine was as good as butter. But, looking at Hazel, he felt that here was butter something that needed no apology, and created its own demand. The bright blue made her so radiant that her aunt shook her head. 'You take after your ma, 'Azel, she said. Her tone was irritated.
There was rather a lot to do on the days following these functions: the washing up, the tables and chairs to put away, the floor to sweep, and so on; but the extra work was supposed to be compensated by the cakes and broken victuals generally left over from the feast, which were much appreciated as a welcome change from the bread and dripping or margarine that constituted Mrs White's and Bert's usual fare.
But they never looked half so well in it, I'll be bou Why, my child, you've dropped a stone out of a brooch or something. Look on the carpet there! 'Oh, said Priscilla, carelessly, 'it was out of my mouth not out of a brooch, I never wear jewellery. I think jewellery makes people grow so conceited; don't you, Aunt Margarine? 'Oh, yes, it is.
Butter, in spite of the Margarine Act, it is believed, the poor can seldom get. But the systematic poisoning of alcoholic liquors permitted under a licensing System is the most flagrant example of the evil. There is some evidence to show that the poorer class of workmen do not consume a very large quantity of strong drink.
