Whenever I hear young men saying "only" this and "only" that, I begin to suspect them of belonging, not to the noble army of sages much less to the most noble army of martyrs, but to the ignoble army of noodles, who think nothing interesting or important but dinners, and balls, and races, and back-biting their neighbours; and I should be sorry to see you enlisting in that regiment when you grow up.
And when another ten minutes had slipped past, Jotham struggled to his feet to wearily but determinedly gather together some material with which to start a blaze. When he had it going Noodles realized that it was now up to him to start getting some supper cooking.
"I don't know just what you mean, Noodles, blest if I do," remarked Fritz, with a puzzled look on his face, "but I agree with all you say. This practical joke business sometimes turns out different from what you expect. I'm sure done with it." But then, all boys say that, especially after they have had a little fright; only to go back to their old way of doing things when the shock has worn off.
He was more angry than ever now. "My dears," said her mother with an indulgent smile, "you are a pair of silly noodles. But Mr. Grey I mean Leslie must please himself. George Iredale is coming because I have asked him. This house is yours to come and go as you like er Leslie. George Iredale has promised to come to the cards to-night. Did I hear you say you were going now?
"Very well; then we may take it that when you arrived at the Mansion House, Mrs. Schallibaum was one of your inside passengers. It was a rather quaint situation, I think." "Yes, confound her! What a couple of noodles she must have thought us!" "No doubt. And that is the one consoling feature in the case. She will have taken us for a pair of absolute greenhorns. But to continue.
Cream four tablespoons of drippings, add a pinch of salt, two tablespoons of granulated sugar, beat in well one egg, add one cup of sifted flour and enough cold water to moisten dough so that it can be rolled out about three tablespoons will be sufficient; it depends on the dryness of the flour how much is required. Make the quantity of noodles desired, then boil.
Drop by handfuls in boiling soup, ten minutes before serving. Noodles for vegetables or for puddings are made in the same way, but to each egg, one-half egg-shell full of cold water may be added. The strips are cut one-half inch wide.
Take one large chicken, cook with four quarts of water for two or three hours. Skim carefully, when it begins to boil add parsley root, an onion, some asparagus, cut into bits. Season with salt, strain and beat up the yolk of an egg with one tablespoon of cold water, add to soup just before serving. This soup should not be too thin. Rice, barley, noodles or dumplings may be added.
Had Noodles for instance been more adept in the use of the one he carried he might have been saved from a whole lot of trouble. Perhaps this might prove to be a valuable lesson to the boy.
We had continued to pack that flour and had made effort after effort to cook it in some eatable way, but without success. The sour dough would not ferment, and we had no baking-powder. Is there any way to cook flour under such circumstances? But he made the noodles too large and did not cook them enough, and they wrought internal havoc upon those who partook of them.
