If we sup at all, it is upon pasty, German cheese, full of holes, as if it had been made in water, or a hot liver sausage, as an extraordinary indulgence.
You must not think that we live on such fare every day." "No," replied the Intendant drily; "on other days I daresay you have other fare. I would almost make a bet that there is a pasty in the cupboard which you dare not show to the Intendant of the New Forest." "You are mistaken, sir, for once," replied Humphrey. "Alice knows well how to make one, but she has not one just now."
The enormous pie in which twenty-eight musicians were discovered when the crust was cut may have been the original of that pasty whose opening revealed four-and-twenty blackbirds in a similar plight.
It looked like Boston brown bread, but I examined it and found it to be a mass of dark brown pollen, quite soft and pasty. In fact, it was unleavened bread, and had not been got at the baker's. A few weeks later, if no accident befell her, she had a good working colony of a dozen or more bees. This was not an unusual incident.
Chuckling again to himself, he fell to upon the pasty and said no more. Nick held his peace, as he was taught to do unless first spoken to; but he could not help thinking that stage-players, and master-players in particular, were very queer folk.

To the last look the plumpness appeared unhealthy, suggesting a doughy indentation to the finger, and its colour also was pasty. Her deep set, black bright eyes, glowing from under the darkest of eyebrows, which met over her nose, had something of a fascinating influence so much of it that at a first interview one was not likely for a time to notice any other of her features.
"But have you considered that it may interfere with my prospects?" he asked. "Why should it? You are invaluable to Mr. Wing. He can't afford to dispense with your services just because you will be divorced. That would be ridiculous. Some of his own associates are divorced." "Divorced!" he cried, and she saw that he had grown pasty white. "On what grounds? Have you been " He did not finish.

However, you will have to invent some other farewell dish, for the pasty must be on my table to-morrow. 'As your highness pleases, said the dwarf, and took leave. But it did not please HIM at all.
