In the kitchen, when Kitty at last reached it, Fanny was making pasties; and when Fanny chose she could make a pasty to perfection. She made them one each now with their initials on them, made of curly bits of pastry, and promised to have them baked and ready by the time Miss Pooley was gone. Emily was in a good temper too.
Here is some of it," I added, pulling from my pocket a cartridge nearly two inches in length, and about an inch in diameter. "It is a soft, pasty substance, done up, as you see, in cartridge-paper, and this little thing, if properly fired, would blow a large boulder-stone to atoms." "Bless me, boy, be careful!" exclaimed my mother, pushing back her chair in some alarm.
It was only while holding out his plate for a second helping of the pasty that Job spoke with a full mouth. "Who d'ee reckon I ran across to-day, down in Troy?" Miss Marty cut the slice without troubling to say that she had not a notion. "Why, that fellow Amos Trudgeon," he went on. "Yes?"
"Here's your paste, Master Ned," she shouted; and then, muttering to herself something about being such a "soft," she disappeared. Five minutes later the young folk were in the play-room and Ned was covering the framework of his simply-made kite with white paper, Tizzy helping and getting her little fingers pasty the while.
As it drew nigh, my companions were darkening and vanishing, and quickly there came floating towards us a form of light over the castle, whereupon the fairies abandoned their hold of me, but as they departed they turned upon me a hellish scowl, and unless the angel had supported me, I should have been dashed into pieces small enough for a pasty, by the time I reached the ground.
Then was uncovered the mighty saddle of mutton, reposing in the dish of honor, the roast pig, the haunch of venison, the sirloin of beef, the breast of veal, the powdered goose, the noble dish of sheepshead and bluefish, and the pasty in which was entombed a whole flock of pigeons.
"Not likely: he will be in distress; he expected us an hour ago." "True, he will not sleep till we come; all right then." "How all right then?" "For our chances of a supper; a cold pasty, with a glass of claret. What think you?" "I do not feel hungry." "But I do as a hawk. I long once more to sound the Don's larder." "Do you not long more to see " "Not to-night no that is until after supper.
The "women of the people" had more sense of the fitness of things than to ape the wealthy in dress, like the corresponding class in our own land, and their simplicity of attire stood out in attractive contrast to the pasty features and unexercised figures in "Parisian" garb of the inner circle. Guadalajara has the requisites of a real city.
Here they sat down, lighted a fire, mixed some flour and water for although the ghee had been taken from them, when they were disarmed, they had been allowed to retain their supply of flour, for their sustenance in prison and made some small cakes. These they cooked in the glowing embers. They could not be termed a success, for the outside was burned black, while the centre was a pasty mass.
Beside myself filled with prophetic expectation I rushed forward and raised the top crust of the pie. Yes, it was there! it met my ravished gaze! the pie which I had only eaten once, at the table of the Duke de Grammont! Alas! I lost the good duke at the battle of Fontenoy, and the great mystery of this pasty went down with him into the hero's grave.
