Baste the joint as soon as it is laid down, and sprinkle on a little salt. When nearly done, dredge it with flour. In dressing a loin or saddle of mutton, the skin must be loosened, and then skewered on; but it should be removed before the meat is done, and the joint basted and made to froth up.
But we must get out of here before dawn, run past the gree-gree if he is about, and make a dash for the open forest. It is our only chance of escape, for at dawn the priests will come again to watch beside the tombs, and if discovered we are certain to be skewered through the mouth, dragged before Prempeh and hacked to pieces by the criminal executioner."
Of the three men he carried the Whipple nose most gracefully. His figure was slight, not so tall as his father's, and he was garbed in a more dapper fashion. He wore an expertly fitted frock coat of black, gray trousers faintly striped, a pearl-gray cravat skewered by a pear-headed pin, and his small feet were incased in shoes of patent leather.
Plunge it in a pot of scalding hot water; then pluck off the feathers, taking care not to tear the skin; when it is picked clean, roll up a piece of white paper, set fire to it and singe off all the hairs. The head, neck and feet should be cut off, and the ends of the legs skewered to the body, and a string tied tightly around the body.
"And how do you know which is the easiest, old cock?" demanded Bill. "Was you ever hung for sheep stealing, or skewered for house breaking?" "Pay no attention to them, sir," Nancy exclaimed. "They are demons from the other world, and will soon be at home." "Amen," piously ejaculated the ghost.
She was a Western girl, he could tell that by the tan and by her various little departures from the Eastern styles such as doing her hair low rather than high. Where he had been used to seeing the hair of woman piled high and skewered with many pins, hers was brushed smoothly back-smoothly save for little, irresponsible waves here and there. Thurston decided that the style was becoming to her.
Three pannikins of tea reposed on the green branches, their refreshing contents sending up little clouds of steam, while the ptarmigan, now split up, skewered, and roasted, were being heartily devoured by our three hungry friends. The pleasures that fall to the lot of man are transient. Doubtless they are numerous and oft recurring; still they are transient, and so supper came to an end.
Interpreting Shafto's envious glance, he said: "You'll excuse me sitting on the charpoy, but I've got entirely out of the use of chairs, and me bones are too stiff to sit doubled up on the floor like a skewered chicken." "Oh, that's all right," said Shafto, who was very sleepy. "I suppose you have just come from Upper Burma?" "Yes, that's the part I most belong to and that suits me.
I threw up my eyes and said, `Ah, where, indeed! What a good thing it is that you and I, sir, are not as that publican." "I should think he skewered you with a glance, didn't he?" said Kennedy. "No, he was going to bore me with an argument, which I declined."
