The music to which the milkmaids' dance was performed, was the jangling of bells of different tones depending from a round plate of brass mounted upon a Maydecked pole; but a bag-pipe or fiddle was sometimes substituted. Cream, syllabub, and dainties compounded with milk, belong in England to the May festival. Black currant, balm, or peppermint leaves are sometimes added, and water and sugar.
Several times, as often as we chose indeed, the good-natured parents of my young bear lent us their chariot to drive abroad or to call on the few friends we had. If I must tell the truth, we drove once to the Protestant Hero and had a syllabub in the garden there: and the hostess would insist upon calling my wife her ladyship during the whole afternoon. We also visited Mr.
She reproached her governess with not doing justice to a syllabub; but showed herself a fine lady by her complaint at the lack of ice for her wine. "My grandfather should make haste and build an icehouse before next winter," she drawled. "One can scarce live through this weather without ice," fanning herself, with excessive languor. "I hope, dear, thou wilt not expire on the journey home."
STAFFORDSHIRE SYLLABUB. Put into a bowl a pint of cider, and a glass of brandy, with sugar and nutmeg. Pour into it some warm milk, from a large tea-pot, held up high, and moved over it. STAINS BY ACIDS. Wet the injured part, and lay on some salt of wormwood; then rub it, without diluting it with more water.
Wherefore, after the third syllabub had run the same course that its fathers had run, Miss Sadie turned to me and said: "That was a perfectly lovely sermon you preached to us this morning." "You are very frank," quoth I, for I was unaccustomed to compliments, one every six or seven years, and an extra thrown in at death, being the limit of Scotch enthusiasm.
Nothing could have so well pacified me for the misfortune of my fallen flowers, as the sight of a delicious syllabub which happened at that moment to be brought in.
She done tol' me ter say she wouldn't have back that extry syllabub on her name fer nothin'. I reckon if I'd tell Marse Jeff that he'd go up in the air for fair. But this nigger is done talkin' done talkin'." He rode on, his brown old face furrowed with trouble. His bowed legs stuck out comically and the long tails of his blue coat spread themselves out on Cupid's broad back.
"They say 'tis all the mode in London," interposed Harriet. "Pray was the cow to instruct you in dancing?" continued the Major. "No, sir," said Aurelia, whom he had addressed; "she was to be milked into the bowl of syllabub." This was received with a great "Ho! ho!" and a demand who was to act as milker. "That was the best of it," said Aurelia.
This wily and experienced shark, not daring to turn and expose his more vulnerable parts to the formidable sword of his enemy, lashed at him with his heavy tail, as a man uses a flail, working the water into a syllabub. Meanwhile, in honour, I suppose, or in the love of fair play, his seven compatriot sharks stood aloof, lying to with their fins, in no degree interfering in the fray.
She hoped the Miss Andersons trained their pupils better than their cows: they had a sad obstreperous cow, she understood. There was a dirge sung over the syllabub, no doubt. The poor Miss Andersons must have been terribly annoyed. The good understanding of the gentlemen seemed all this time to be uninterrupted.
