Farther away, the trenched lettuces, onions, leeks, and celery, planted by line in long straight rows, looked like soldiers on parade; while the peas and beans were beginning to twine their slender tendrils round a forest of sticks, which, when June came, they would transform into a thick and verdant wood. There was not a weed to be seen.
Then the Governor's wife arose and stripped her of her jewels and silken raiment and, clothing her in petticoat-trousers of sack-cloth and a shift of hair-cloth, sent her down into the kitchen and made her a scullery-wench, saying, "The reward for thy constancy shall be to break up fire-wood and peel onions and set fire under the cooking-pots."
When they are a nice color, place one round dressed with cheese on a round dressed with ham, so as to have the golden bread both above and below. Serve them very hot, and garnished with fried parsley. Before putting in your meat, cook in the water a celery, four leeks, two onions, two turnips, two carrots; then add the meat, with pepper and salt, and stew gently for three hours.
You do think I'm clever though, don't you?" he asked, anxiously. "Oh, immensely!" said the children, politely. "Thanks!" said the Sage. "Will you take a few onions with you as a memento of your visit?" "No thank you," said Marjorie, hurriedly. "They would remind you of me," suggested the Sage, wistfully; "Sage and onions you know."
Brown a couple of onions in a little oil, about two table-spoonsful or more, according to the number of tomatos; when hot, add about six tomatos cut and peeled, season with cayenne pepper and salt, and let the whole simmer for a short time, then cut thin slices of bread, and put as much with the tomatos as will bring them to the consistency of a pudding; it must be well beaten up, stir in the yolks of two or three eggs, and two ounces of butter warmed; turn the whole into a deep dish and bake it very brown.
Quincey had suggested my waiting till after Wednesday. But there seemed to me no particular object in delay. "Are you fond of him?" I asked her. "Yes," she answered. "I am fonder than " And then she stopped herself suddenly and flared scarlet. "Who are you talking about?" she demanded. "This young man of yours," I said. "Mr. What's his name Onions?" "Oh, that?" she answered.
The day I came home from Holland I did what I liked as soon as I reached London I went to Johnny Gillat, my dear old friend, who I love better than any one else in the world, and we had a supper of steak and onions in a back bedroom, and we enjoyed it you see what my tastes are? Afterwards I heard how father had taken to drink and mother had got into debt you see what a nice family we are?"
A lump of loaf sugar boiled with turnips neutralizes their excessive bitterness. Cabbage, potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips, onions, and beets, are injured by being boiled with fresh meat, and they also hurt the color of the meat, and impair its tenderness and flavor.
I also at this time laid out a small garden, planting it with radishes, onions, mustard, and cress; and a similar attempt was made by Lieutenant Liddon; but, notwithstanding every care and attention which could be paid to it, this experiment may be said to have wholly failed, the radishes not exceeding an inch in length by the latter end of July, and the other seeds being altogether thrown away.
In the same market I have found mangoes of the same quality ranging all the way from thirty cents to a dollar and fifty cents a dozen. In the provinces market produce is very limited. Potatoes and onions can be procured only from Manila, bought by the crate. If there be no local commissary, tinned foods must be sent in bulk from Manila.
