Mad. de Rosier held his hand back, which he had just stretched out to offer his queen-cake; she advised him to exchange it for something more substantial; she told him that he might have two buns for one queen-cake. He immediately changed it for two buns, and gave them to the little boy, who thanked him heartily.
Favoretta kept the queen-cake, that she might divide it with Herbert; for she now recollected that she had been most to blame in the dispute about the prints. Herbert absolutely refused, however, to have any share of the cake, and he strongly urged his sister to return it to Grace.
It was with some difficulty that he prevailed upon Favoretta to restore the queen-cake: the arguments that he used we shall not detail, but he concluded with promising, that, if Favoretta would return the cake, he would ask Mad. de Rosier, the next time they passed by the pastrycook's shop, to give them some queen-cakes "and I dare say she will give us some, for she is much more really good-natured than Grace."
"Because, miss, you remember how you served me about the queen-cake." "But I do not want you to give me any queen-cake; I only want to get up for a little while," said Favoretta. "Then get up," said Grace: "but don't make a noise, to waken Master Herbert." "Do you think," said Favoretta, "that Herbert would think it wrong?" "Indeed, I don't think at all about what he thinks," said Mrs.
To manage them properly, requires so much practice and dexterity, that it is best, when practicable, to procure kisses from a confectioner's shop. Make a batter as for queen-cake, and bake it in small tin rings on a griddle. Beat white of egg, and powdered loaf-sugar according to the preceding receipt, flavouring it with lemon.
Just as Herbert was going to eat his queen-cake, he heard the sound of music in the street; he went to the door, and saw a poor man who was playing on the dulcimer a little boy was with him, who looked extremely thin and hungry he asked Herbert for some halfpence. "I have no money of my own," said Herbert, "but I can give you this, which is my own."
The sobbing child hid her face in Grace's lap; and when she had told her complaint against Mad. de Rosier, Grace comforted her for the loss of the royal tiger by the present of a queen-cake. Grace did not dare to stay long in the room, lest Mad. de Rosier should detect her; she therefore left the little girl, with a strict charge "not to say a word of the queen-cake to her governess."
The next day, when the children were walking with Mad. de Rosier by a pastrycook's shop, Herbert, with an honest countenance, asked Mad. de Rosier to give Favoretta and him a queen-cake. She complied, for she was glad to find that he always asked frankly for what he wanted; and yet that he bore refusals with good humour.
Favoretta, with this hope of a future queen-cake, in addition to all her brother's arguments, at last determined to return Grace's present "Herbert says I had better give it you back again," said she, "because Mad. de Rosier does not know it." Grace was somewhat surprised by the effect of Herbert's oratory, and she saw that she must change her ground.
Blanch a pound of almonds, lie them in water for three or four hours, dry them with a cloth, and beat them fine with eight spoonfuls of rose or orange-flower water; then boil a pound of fine sugar to wire-height, and stir in the almonds, mix them well over the fire; but do not let them boil; pour them into a bason, and beat them with a spoon 'till quite cold; then beat six whites of eggs, a quarter of a pound of starch, beat and searc'd, beat the eggs and starch together, 'till thick; stir in the almonds, and put them in queen-cake tins, half full, dust them over with a little searc'd sugar; bake 'em in a slow oven, and keep them dry.
