Turn it out when it has well set, and decorate with crystallized fruits. Pour round it a thin apricot syrup. Make a mixture of milk and raw eggs, enough to soak up in six rusks. Flavor it with a little mace or cinnamon. Put some butter in a pan and put the rusks in it to fry. Let them color a good brown, and serve them hot with sugar dusted over them.
"There'll be a lot of cooking to do for the wedding," reflected Felicity in a tone of satisfaction. "I s'pose Aunt Olivia will want some rusks made. I hope she has plenty of tooth-powder laid in," said Dan. "It's a pity you don't use some of that tooth-powder you're so fond of talking about yourself," retorted Felicity. "When anyone has a mouth the size of yours the teeth show so plain."
He, the master there, empties the little coffee-pot himself every morning! Never, in all my life, have I seen such a coffee-bibber!" The following evening came a new announcement of trouble. "Now it is not alone a coffee-bibber," said poor Brigitta, with a gloomy countenance and wide-staring eyes, "but a calf it is, and a devourer of rusks!
ANCHOVY TOAST. Bone and skin six or eight anchovies, pound them to a mass with an ounce of fine butter till the colour is equal, and then spread it on toast or rusks. Or, cut thin slices of bread, and fry them in clarified butter. Wash three anchovies split, pound them in a mortar with a little fresh butter, rub them through a hair sieve, and spread on the toast when cold.
"If Peg is a witch it must be the Other One she's in co. with." "Dan, it's getting to be simply scandalous the way you talk," said Felicity. "I just wish ma could hear you." "Is soap in porridge any worse than tooth-powder in rusks, lovely creature?" asked Dan. "Dan, Dan," admonished Cecily, between her coughs, "remember it's Sunday." "It seems hard to remember that," said Peter.
What do you think, gracious lady, but the rusk-basket, which I filled only yesterday, is to-day as good as empty only two rusks and two or three crumbs remaining! Then for cream! Why every morning he empties the jug!" "Ah, it is very good," said Elise, mildly, yet evasively, "that he enjoys things so much."
When the milk has come to a boil, take it off the fire, strain it into a pan, and soak in it five stale rusks cut into slices. They must soak till quite dissolved. Stir to a cream three quarters of a pound of fresh butter, mixed with the same quantity of powdered loaf-sugar.
Well, then, Susan, you put the apple-brandy into the basket, and some of them rusks, for I reckon we'll hev' work with this young man afore night."
Directly this sound reached his ears, Mr Abel started up, and hobbled to the door, and opened it; and behold! there stood a strong man, with a mighty hamper, which, being hauled into the room and presently unpacked, disgorged such treasures as tea, and coffee, and wine, and rusks, and oranges, and grapes, and fowls ready trussed for boiling, and calves'-foot jelly, and arrow-root, and sago, and other delicate restoratives, that the small servant, who had never thought it possible that such things could be, except in shops, stood rooted to the spot in her one shoe, with her mouth and eyes watering in unison, and her power of speech quite gone.
Aunt Janet stared at her pretty daughter blankly. Then amazement gave place to horror. "Felicity King!" she exclaimed. "You don't mean to tell me that you raised those rusks with the stuff that was in that old yellow can?" "Yes, I did," faltered Felicity, beginning to look scared. "Why, ma, what was the matter with it?" "Matter! That stuff was TOOTH-POWDER, that's what it was.
