An easy way is to get it ready made, in any quantity you please, from a turtle-soup house. Three ox tails will make a large tureen full of soup. Desire the butcher to divide them at the joints. Rub them with salt, and put them to soak in warm water, while you prepare the vegetables.
My brothers and sisters were seated round them, laughing and talking merrily, and eating the good things with excellent appetite. Once Mr Butterfield brought me a bowl of turtle-soup, and assuring me of its excellence, ladled it into his mouth before my eyes, and then disappeared with a hop, skip, and a jump.
"Let us go down and help Ready carry up some of the things before dinner," said Mrs Seagrave. They did so; and William rolled up the empty water-cask which Ready had brought with him. The turtle-steaks were as much approved of as the turtle-soup; indeed, after having been so long on salt meat, a return to fresh provisions was delightful.
"I suppose they will get some by and by, when they are not so busy, but they have no time now." "I like turtle-soup," replied Tommy. "William and Juno are making a pond to put turtle in, and then we shall have it oftener; but we cannot have everything we like when we wish for it." "I like fried fish," said Tommy; "why don't we have fried fish?"
As to other matters, he was to walk some time in the shade at an early hour, and, discussing the time for the fullest meal, Cardan remarks that established habits as to this point are not to be lightly considered. His directions as to diet are many, reasonable, and careful. His patient, once stout, had become perilously thin. Turtle-soup and snail-broth would help him.
Three days of an exclusively saccharine diet is about as much as any grown man or woman can be reasonably expected to stand; after that period there comes upon the jaded appetite unlawful longings after strong meats and anchovies, after turtle-soup and devilled bones, such as no sugar-fed couple has the poetic right to indulge in.
It might be mentioned here that just as turtle-soup is to their worships, so is wild cat to golden eagles a bonne bouche par excellence, so to say. They do not get it every day, or every month, for the matter of that at least, not in these islands of enlightenment, for the wild cat shares with them the honor of being a martyr of Fate, and it is on the index expurgatorius of the gamekeeper also.
"I like cocoa-nuts; why don't we have some? there's plenty upon the trees." "But who is to climb up so high, Tommy? Can you?" "No; but why don't Ready climb, or papa, or William?" "I suppose they will get some by and by, when they are not so busy, but they have no time now." "I like turtle-soup," replied Tommy.
Every one then proceeds to his business until dinner-time, which is generally 4 o'clock. The dinner is composed of turtle-soup, curry, roast meat, hashes, and pastry. All the dishes, with the exception of the curry, are prepared after the English fashion, although the cooks are Chinese. For dessert there is cheese, with fruit; such as pine- apples, long-yen, mangoes, and lytchi.
They did so; and William rolled up the empty water-cask which Ready had brought with him. The turtle-steaks were as much approved of as the turtle-soup; indeed, after having been so long on salt meat, a return to fresh provisions was delightful. "And now to finish our well," said William, as soon as dinner was over. "How hard you do work, William!" said his mother. "So I ought, mother.
