Before this day is ended, they will all, thank goodness, have splitting headaches and burnt-out eyes. It is better to lie still and hear the grass grow to soak in the heat and the smell and the sounds and the sights that come unasked.
He lay back in his chair, limp and panting under Gilmore's strong hands. Where was his own strength of heart and arm that he should be left powerless in this moment of unspeakable degradation? "It behooves you to do something more than soak up whisky," said the gambler. "You must find out what took your wife to North's rooms, and you must make her keep quiet no matter what happens.
Drain; shake in saucepan with one teaspoon butter three minutes. Add one cup of brown sauce and simmer five minutes. Place one pound Russian peas in granite kettle, add one tablespoon of salt and hot water to more than cover and let soak twelve hours or more.
Add a large piece of butter rolled in flour, and lastly put in the dumplings. Let it boil till all the things are thoroughly done, and then serve it up in the tureen. In buying dried tongues, choose those that are thick and plump, and that have the smoothest skins. They are the most likely to be young and tender. A smoked tongue should soak in cold water at least all night.
"If you are both so fastidious," retorted Blakeney, shrugging his broad shoulders, "I'll turn one of you into a reddleman, and the other into a dyer. Then one of you will be bright scarlet to the end of his days, as the reddle never comes off the skin at all, and the other will have to soak in turpentine before the dye will consent to move....

'When washed put it into a tub, in which you have first placed a mixture consisting of half an ounce of alum to each gallon of water. Soak the skin in this mixture for about six hours, taking it up occasionally to drain a little. This is sufficient to cure your skin and clean it. The tanning remains to be done. 'Get four pounds of babool, tamarind, or dry oak bark.
Added just before simmering, a little sliced lemon or orange gives a rich color and flavor to the syrup. Cook prunes in an earthenware bean pot in the oven. Wash and soak the prunes and put them in the pot with a very little water; let them cook slowly for a long time. They will be found delicious, thick and rich, without any of the objectionable sweetness.
I would like to stay two or three to see how it would look at sunrise, at sunset to lie down in one of these sunny hollows, and look up into the sky to shut my eyes lazily, and open them again, and so let the whole impression soak in, as Mrs. H. used to say. But no; the sleepers have waked up, the guide has the horses ready, and I must come down.
Glass, if perfect, should be packed in tins with wool; old food or tobacco tins do well for tender things. Flint implements and coins, though hardy, should be saved from grinding by wrapping in waste paper. Ivory, if it has been buried, is very liable to flake. The cure is to soak it in paraffin wax; but temporarily it is secured by winding cotton thread round it in many directions.
The way of dressing Poor-John, to make it very tender and good meat, is this. Put it into the Kettle in cold water, and so hang it over the fire; and so let it soak and stew without boiling for 3 hours: but the water must be very hot. Then make it boil two or three walms. By this time it will be very tender and swelled up. Then take out the back-bone, and put it to fry with Onions.
