THE crew of the "Jolly Susan" did little work during the evening study hour; Judith, especially, found that she could not keep her mind on her tasks. This was the full flavour of life at a boarding-school, surely, to break the rules, and creep down the corridor in the dark to eat forbidden food! She even let her mind play round the food itself chicken, meringues! She could hardly wait for bedtime.
He had a story for every glass of wine, and told them all with a quiet humor of his own. Toward the end of dinner, by the time the waiter came to offer us "almonds and raisins, pears, peaches, preserves, meringues, brandy cherries," we had got upon the subject of Sidonie, the pearl of Forez.
And having eaten one, in three mouthfuls, he stretched out his hand, and took another. Happily then, some meringues attracted his attention; and he stood with a cream cake in one hand, and a meringue in the other, taking them alternately, or both together. The meringues began to disappear fast.
"I shall have to wait to tell you until it's ready to serve up," answered Billie, "nice and brown and done through." "Why, Billie, what kind of kitchen talk is that?" exclaimed Elinor, laughing. "You'll be seeing with the eyes of a cook next. Sunsets will remind you of tomato soup and clouds will make you think of meringues and "
Their dissipation is confined principally to starlight and zephyrs; the coarser and wealthier spirits indulge in ice, agraz, and meringues dissolved in water. The climax of their luxury is a cool bed.

The glasses are of enormous but not extravagant proportions. These dropsical Iberians will drink water as if it were no stronger than beer.
A stroke of genius this for the siphons were still on the table and the syrups, and the débris of cakes and meringues. Rutford would be sure to examine the scene of the catastrophe; and the whisky bottle was carefully hidden. "We were having a spread, sir, and we asked Scaife to join us. His play to-day made him one of us." The other boys gazed admiringly at Lovell. What a cool, knowing hand!
"I've just finished having high-tea at a pastry-cook's," came the answer, "and they let me telephone. I've had a poached egg and a sausage roll and four meringues." "You'll be ill. Are the little Jutterlys with you?" "Rather not. They're in a pigstye." "A pigstye? Why? What pigstye?" "Near the Crawleigh Road.

"You really do think it's a good thing?" Edward Henry ventured, for he had not yet been convinced of the entire goodness of theatrical enterprise near Piccadilly Circus. Mr.
More, he wanted coffee. And perhaps a raspberry ice-cream soda with it. There was one place he knew of.... Dashing down to the Paquis, he just caught a mouette for the Eaux Vives jetty.
