This Bean, when it is full ripe, is taken out of the Shells, and boiled to a Pulp, and that Pulp strain'd till it becomes like Butter; then they put some of all the Spices into it, in Powder, as, Nutmeg, Cloves, Mace, and Pepper, Garlick, and Orange-Juice, or some Mango Pickle. This being well mix'd together, makes an agreeable Sauce, when it is put in any warm Liquor. To dry Plums with Sugar.
"Now it's done, it can't be undone," he said. "But is it so very safe, after all? The stuff is not beyond analysis, unluckily; but it's much more hard to detect this way, mixed with the orange-juice, than any other way. And then there's all the horrid fuss afterward. Even if there is not an inquest as, of course, there won't be they'll ask who the girl is, what the devil she was doing here.
"Oh, it is not while beauty and youth are thine o-o-own, And thy cheek is unstained by a tear, That the fervor and faith of a soul can be kno-o-own " It grew faint. It ended in a long sigh. Then one small hand in the gentle make-believe grasp of another, she slept. Miss Royle looked sober as she sipped her orange-juice. And she cut off the top of her breakfast egg as noiselessly as possible.
BUTTERED ORANGE-JUICE. Mix the juice of seven Seville oranges with four spoonfuls of rose-water, and add the yolks of eight and the whites of four eggs well beaten.

Thereupon, filled full of orange-juice and iniquity, he conceived a deadly snare.
Wordling was not an especial favorite with her. "They made it up beautifully between them, didn't they?" the actress observed, as she squeezed orange-juice into her spoon. "What?" "That story."
