Disdaining the spiky pen and thick, black treacle which a beneficent Government had provided, Tuppence drew out Tommy's pencil which she had retained and wrote rapidly: "Don't put in advertisement. Will explain to-morrow." She addressed it to Tommy at his club, from which in one short month he would have to resign, unless a kindly fortune permitted him to renew his subscription.
This may not sound much of a feat, but when one realises that the bun consists of a chunk of stale black bread exuding coarse treacle, the difficulty will be better understood. Several canaries had been brought along from the former camp.
And sweet as the treacle was, how could bread thus prepared and eaten in secret be otherwise than pleasant? One night our precious can ran low, and in canting it over in the dark, something beside the molasses slipped out. How long it had been there, kind Providence never revealed; nor were we over anxious to know; for we hushed up the bare thought as quickly as possible.

"No," said Gerald, "it is not possible, but it is not polite for boys to make remarks about their food!" She laughed, but there was no more dried bread and treacle for supper after that. "How do you do it?" Kathleen whispered admiringly as they said good night. "Oh, it's quite easy when you've once got a grownup to see what you're after.
Alice did not wish to offend the Dormouse again, so she began very cautiously: 'But I don't understand. Where did they draw the treacle from? 'You can draw water out of a water-well, said the Hatter; 'so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well eh, stupid? 'But they were IN the well, Alice said to the Dormouse, not choosing to notice this last remark.
So says I to mysel': 'Moths are attracted by light; I must invent a composeetion o' phosphorus to take the place o' treacle. And those lights that you found on yon trees are the result." "And a splendid idea it is!" exclaimed Alf, who had also done his little share of treacling at school. "Is it a success?" "Magnificent. I've found more moths than were known to exist in the West.
"That they should attempt an attack with such numbers against such a position was incredible enough; but Olivier noticed something yet more extraordinary. For instead of attempting to seize more solid ground, this mad regiment, having put the river in its rear by one wild charge, did nothing more, but stuck there in the mire like flies in treacle.
"All in nice little words of one syllable or we won't understand." "Well, once there were three little girls named Elsie, Lacie and Tillie and they lived in the bottom of a well." Oliver had caught the cue at once. "A treacle well " She went on with the Dormouse's Tale, but Ted, for once, hardly heard her his mind was too busy with its odd, Egyptological dream.
The syrup is prepared by boiling the liquor down in pots of earthen-ware, till it is sufficiently inspissated; it is not unlike treacle in appearance, but is somewhat thicker, and has a much more agreeable taste: The sugar is of a reddish brown, perhaps the same with the Jugata sugar upon the continent of India, and it was more agreeable to our palates than any cane-sugar, unrefined, that we had ever tasted.
