The doctors, the burial, Rosey's delicate condition, the cost of sweetbreads, calf's-foot jelly, and cod-liver oil, were again passed in a rapid calculation before me; and she ended her speech by expressing her gratification that I had attended to her advice of the previous day, and not given Clive Newcome a direct loan; that the family wanted it, the Campaigner called upon Heaven to witness; that Clive and his absurd poor father would fling guineas out of the window was a fact equally certain; the rest of the argument was obvious, namely, that Mr.
The bounder ought to be in jail instead of giving dinner-parties. Imagine Doris eating in that house!" "Ay! Sweetbreads an' saddle o' lamb," interjected Hobbs with the air of one imparting a secret. Elkin was pallid with wrath. He glared at Hobbs. "What I had in my mind was the impudence of the blighter," he said shrilly.
I have heard of a class of girls in a Connaught village who would not be content with knowing the accomplishments of a farmer's wife until they had learned how to make asparagus soup and cook sweetbreads. No doubt they had read of the way things are done in the kitchens of the great.
To-day there was a boiled dinner. Boiled chickens at one end of the table and boiled corned beef at the other followed the soup. "How good an entrée would taste," whispered Lord Cecil Manners to the Earl of Kildare, casting a glance at a neighboring table, where a vol-au-vent of sweetbreads was being passed by the servant. "What was that you said, Lord Cecil?" asked the King, sharply.
"You never signify, Mistress, that the blessed recluse was an hypocrite?" "The blessed recluse was mighty fond of sweetbreads," said Alvena, taking a pin out of her mouth, "and many an one smuggled I in to her under my cloak, when Father Luke thought she was a-fasting on bread and water. And I, oping the door to see if it rained, trow! found these birds a-lying there.
Having rolled the whole up tight, like collared eel, bind it in a cloth, and boil it an hour. When done enough, cut it into four slices, laying one at each end, and the others on the sides of the dish. Have the sweetbreads ready prepared, cut in slices and fried, and lay them round the dish, with a few mushrooms pickled. This is allowed to make a fine bottom dish, when game is not to be had.
"Throw 'em away then. A present, ain't they? Nobody in town eats 'em but you." Kate unfortunately suggested braizing the sweetbreads for Sawdy and Lefever. "What?" exclaimed Belle. "Men don't eat sweetbreads, don't you know that? You've got to give 'em steak round steak and the tougher the better tough as cowhide and fried to tears. They'd be insulted.
One night as my companions were all asleep, I went out to get a piece of cake or a cracker, or whatever of that sort I could obtain, but, owing to my clumsy use of the language, I was misunderstood. Just as the diligence was about to start, and the shout for us to get aboard was heard, the waiter came running with a piping hot plate of sweetbreads nicely broiled.
Philpotts the butcher had half smiled, half sighed to see sweetbreads entered in Miss Joliffe's book, and had, indeed, forgotten to keep record of many a similar purchase; using that kindly, quiet charity which the recipient is none the less aware of, and values the more from its very unostentation.
CURRIES. Cut fowls or rabbits into joints; veal, lamb or sweetbreads into small pieces. Put four ounces of butter into a stewpan; when melted, put in the meat, and two sliced onions. Stew them to a nice brown, add half a pint of broth, and let it simmer twenty minutes. Mix smooth in a basin one table-spoonful of currie powder, one of flour, and a tea-spoonful of salt, with a little cold water.
