He did not see me until he had closed the oven door, and then he said, joyously, pointing to the kettle: "De puddin' she's in dare, and she's nearly all done now, and in fifteen or twenty minute more de dinner she's all be ready."
And I sez, "The boys a-comin' here to dinner! Why'e why didn't you tell me so?" And I got right up and went to makin' a lemon puddin'. I knew Thomas J. wuz a-layin' out to go up to Zoar some day that week to see about a young chap to stay in his office while he wuz at the World's Fair, and it seemed that Krit had gone along for company and for the ride. Them two young fellers love to be together.
"That's the ticket," Webber agreed. "That's sure the boss racket of them all." "We couldn't git no tree into this shanty," objected Field. "This place ain't big enough to hold a Christmas puddin'." "Of course it is," said the carpenter. "It's ten foot ten by eighteen foot six inches, or I can't do no guessin'." "That 'mount of space couldn't hold jest me, on Christmas," estimated the teamster.
He's Auld Kirk." Leeby returned to the kitchen, and Jess sat for a time ruminating. "The lad Wilkie," she said at last, triumphantly, "'ll be to bide at Lawyer Ogilvy's; but he'll be gaen to the manse the morn for a tea-dinner." "But what," asked Leeby, "aboot the milk an' the cream for the lawyer's?" "Ou, they'll be hae'n a puddin' for the supper the nicht.
Jist finished wot was left of that there steak and kidney puddin', sir, and started on my seckint trotter, when I sees a pair o' legs nip parst the area railin's to the front door, and then nip off again like greased lightnin', and when I ups and does a flyin' leap up the kitchen stairs, there was this here envellup in the letter-box, and them there blessed legs nowheres in sight.
"Very good, sir," said Si, saluting. "This is what I call a puddin'," said Shorty, oracularly, as they drove away. "The Lord always kin be trusted to help the deservin', if the deservin' only keep their eyes peeled for His p'inters. This comes from not workin' yesterday and goin' to church."
"Buck up, Polly," she said, "we ain't none of us finished yet. Look at us now sittin' by our own fire with bread and puddin' inside us an' think wot we was this mornin'. Who knows wot we'll 'ave this time to-morrer." Then she stopped and looked with a wide grin at Antony Dart. "Ow did I come 'ere?" she said. "Yes," he answered, "how did you come here?"
Once on my legs I found that nervousness left me, words came freely and I even enjoyed the novel experience. To suddenly discover oneself proficient where failure had been feared increases self esteem and adds to the sum of happiness. At this dinner I also made my first acquaintance with that "Great chieftain o' the puddin' race," the Haggis, which deserves the pre-eminence it enjoys.
"I'll go to work and see what I can do," said Dick, energetically. The boys had turned into Third Avenue, a long street, which, commencing just below the Cooper Institute, runs out to Harlem.
