Meanwhile, the taffy was boiling in the big kettle, and Ruth and Jennie had buttered three dripping pans. They spread the nutmeats evenly in the pans and then set the pans carefully on a snowdrift outside the back door to get thoroughly cold before the taffy was poured thinly over the nuts. Everybody was on the qui vive about the candy then. The girls couldn't drive the boys out of the room.
"At least," said the girl from the Red Mill, "We don't want to do anything mean to them just because they were mean to us." "Why not?" demanded Belle, in wonder. "That wouldn't be nice nor any fun," declared Ruth, firmly. "A joke yes." "Do you call it a joke on us spoiling our taffy and stealing the nutmeats?" wailed Heavy. "What else was it? It was a joke to them. There was a sting to it for us.
Shred fine four ounces of homemade candied peel, also four ounces of preserved ginger, add a cupful of nutmeats pecans or English walnuts, or even scalybarks, cutting them in bits, mix all well together, then pour upon them the strained juice of three oranges, and three lemons, also add the grated yellow peel.
After that we'll give you some if you're good." "Huh!" grunted Isadore. "I guess I know a trick worth two of that. We'll get our share, fellows," and he winked at Tom and Bob. The three boys stuck to their work, with only a whisper or two, until there was a great bowl of nutmeats, and Ruth pronounced the quantity sufficient.
