Hamilton Burton was looking at the percolator in which the Bolivian coffee was bubbling as restively as the fires of the volcano at whose base it grew from berry to lush plant and came again to berry. He was balancing a spoon on his forefinger, and smiling with quiet amusement. "Now that's very thoughtful of our young Minister of Finance."
If I can't be Venus, then let me be the star dust that is nearest to her!" It seemed to Lilly that she was suddenly talking to her own kind. New York spoke her language. "Fearful coffee. I always say the only place outside of my own percolator I can get a decent cup of coffee is the new Hudson." "The Hudson? Is that a good hotel?" "Yes, splendid. Are you alone?"
It must be inferred that the wife's cup contained none of the poison, for she developed no symptoms of poisoning after the meal. The servants declare that the wife invariably made the after-dinner coffee in a percolator that stood on the sideboard. On the night in question, she had boiled the coffee, but none of the servants had seen her draw it from the percolator or serve it in the cups.
Mary Alice commented admiringly, when they were back in the cozy drawing-room and Godmother was serving coffee from the copper percolator. "Not all my life, but most of it yes," said Godmother. "It took me some time to find the talisman, the charm, the secret or whatever you want to call it of having a happy time." "But you found it?" Godmother flushed as if she were a little bit embarrassed.
"Suppose you start up the percolator once more, Walter!" He took a cigar and lighted it from the match I struck. "I believe I've earned another cup of coffee," he added. Mackay had been fidgeting considerably since Kennedy's explanation of the possible danger to Shirley, as well as to ourselves or even to others. "Isn't there something we can do, Kennedy?" he exclaimed, suddenly.
On his next call there was a lively Ruth who invited him up to the library, read extracts from Stephen Leacock's Nonsense Novels; turned companionably serious, and told him how divided were her sympathies between her father the conscientiously worried employer and a group of strikers in his factory. She made coffee in a fantastic percolator, and played Débussy and ragtime.
Cream is usually served with coffee, but scalded milk renders the coffee more digestible than does cream. Fill the cup one-fourth full of hot scalded milk; pour on the freshly made coffee, adding sugar. Place one cup of finely ground coffee in the strainer of the percolator; place the strainer in the pot and place over the heat. Add gradually six cups of boiling water and allow it to filter.
In his room the tropical fruits and whiskey and cigarettes were by his bed, the percolator ready for morning; and, stopping in his preparations for the night, he mixed himself a drink and sat moodily over it. What had happened downstairs seemed, more than anything else, astounding; Mrs. Grove, Savina, had bewildered him with the power, the bitterness, of her feeling.
"No, that's not it ... that's nothing compared to this feeling ... this premonition " "Come on, let's make some coffee ... in the percolator." "You girls sit down and I'll make it. I've been a cook several times in my career." Someone was knocking about in the dark, upstairs. We heard a match struck.... "There, we've waked Ruth, too." "What's the matter down there?" Ruth was calling.
While Rosemary proudly brought her new percolator in from the kitchen and refilled his cup, Luck Lindsay sat and endured the greatest tongue-lashing of his life. Furthermore, he seemed to enjoy the chorus of reproaches and threats and recriminations. He chuckled over the eloquence of Andy Green, and he grinned at the belligerence of Pink and the melancholy of Happy Jack.
