"I'm glad the appointment has had time to soak in; it didn't take long, did it?" Wilbur flushed a little, and his chum, seeing this, went on laughingly: "Don't mind my roasting, old man, only you were 'way up in the clouds." The boy's expression cleared instantaneously, and he laughed in reply. "I suppose I was," he said, "but it's great to feel you've got the thing you've been working for.
A brown gravy made from the grease the steak was fried in and poured over the meat enriches it. Wash it carefully and open it sufficiently to remove the ventricles, then soak it in cold water until the blood is discharged; wipe it dry and stuff it nicely with dressing, as for turkey; roast it about an hour and a half.
In doing this he had to consider a number of things, such as a view of the river, nearness to the boats, a chance for drainage in case of a summer storm that might otherwise flood them out, and soak everything they owned; and such matters that an old and experienced camper never fails to remember in the start. Then came the delightful task of getting the first meal.
It was for me, but the nephew handed it to Tom, and he opened it and, looking at me, he solemnly read it out loud. It said "Arrived this noon. Have I your permission to come to Hillsboro immediately? Answer. It was dreadful! Nobody said a word, and Tom laid the telegram right down in his plate, where it immediately began to soak up the dressing of his salad.
I'm a-goin' t' keep them two stiffs in th' boxes until dark, an' then I'm a-goin' to take 'em out, bend a rope around their middle, drop 'em overboard an' anchor 'em there all night. I see th' lad we opens up in No. 1 case has had a beautiful job o' embalmin' done on him, but if I let them soak all night, like a mackerel, they'll limber up an' look kinder fresh.
Strain the sauce through a fine sieve, and then add to it either a glass of good red wine or a little made mustard with a teaspoonful of brown sugar. Put a handful of dried white haricots to soak over-night and simmer them the following day for two hours with some salt.
Put as much alum in hot water as will make it very strong, put the feet in when it is as hot as can be borne, and keep them in till it is cold, warm it over, and soak them every evening till they are entirely cured, by beginning in time, it need only be applied two or three times.
The other tried to follow, Fraser supporting him. "Here, somebody, a horse for Lounsbury." A third man dismounted Jamieson. He put a rope in Fraser's hand. "Take my horse," he said. "I'll stay. Ride like the devil, Lounsbury, and soak 'em one for me!" They helped the storekeeper mount. The command had gone. He and Fraser followed.
Trim very closely the skin from the upper side of each slice, and also trim off the outer edge where the smoke has hardened the meat. If the ham is very salt lay it in cold water for one hour before cooking, then wipe with a dry cloth. Never soak ham in tepid or hot water, as it will toughen the meat. Broil over a brisk fire, turning the slices constantly.
Mon Dieu! in the early times I would have given I don't know what for a good fall of rain to soak me and wash away all the dust. Ah! I shall never get used to their awful Rome. What a country and what people!"
