And then Lady Carteret gave that mysterious signal, and the ladies rose and swept away in billows of silk to the drawing-room, and the gentlemen had the talk to themselves "across the walnuts and the wine." To one gentleman present the interim before rejoining the ladies was unmitigatedly dull, even though the talk ran on his favorite topics -horse-flesh and hunting.
When cold, add the walnuts and cream, and freeze. This will serve eight persons. These are made by putting layers of various kinds and colors of ice creams into a brick mold. Pack and freeze. At serving time, cut into slices crosswise of the brick, and serve each slice on a paper mat.
The Bahreini, for their own consumption, love to add sesame seeds to their dates, or ginger powder and walnuts pressed with them into jars. These are called sirah, and are originally prepared by being dried in the sun and protected at night, then diluted date-juice is poured over them.
Then immediately in all disorder, without keeping either rank or file, they took the fields one amongst another, wasting, spoiling, destroying, and making havoc of all wherever they went, not sparing poor nor rich, privileged or unprivileged places, church nor laity, drove away oxen and cows, bulls, calves, heifers, wethers, ewes, lambs, goats, kids, hens, capons, chickens, geese, ganders, goslings, hogs, swine, pigs, and such like; beating down the walnuts, plucking the grapes, tearing the hedges, shaking the fruit-trees, and committing such incomparable abuses, that the like abomination was never heard of.
A barrel of walnuts, a barrel of hickory-nuts and two bushels of chestnuts were piled near his bed in the loft. But the day his martins left, he came near breaking down. He saw them circle high in graceful sweeping curves over the gourds, chattering and laughing with a strange new note in their cries. He watched them wistfully.
Beth came back to the fire-side, and passed her father a plate of fruit-cake she had made herself. "It's too fresh to be good, but you mustn't find any fault. Just eat every bit of it down. Oh, Kitty, stop!" They had been cracking walnuts on the hearth-rug, and Beth's pet kitten was amusing itself by scattering the shells over the carpet. Beth sat down on the footstool at her father's feet.
Eleanor found a few pieces the size of walnuts and Polly secured a handful of small bits. "How can we tie them up if we have to crawl back?" asked Eleanor. "Got a handkerchief?" "No, I gave it to Bob out of meanness," laughed Eleanor. "Hum! Well, we might put them in our middy blouses, only we take a chance of losing them in squirming back through that tunnel," remarked Polly.
My backbone had the appearance of a clothesline with a quantity of English walnuts strung upon it. My face was almost gone. My nose was so sharp that I didn't dare stick it into other people's business for fear it would stay there. But by borrowing my agent's overcoat I succeeded in producing a shadow. I have been looking at Zion all day, and my feet are sore and my legs are weary.
There are many kinds of nuts, too filberts, with rough prickly husks, walnuts, butternuts, and hickory-nuts; these last are large trees, the nuts of which are very nice to eat, and the wood very fine for cabinet-work, and for firewood; the bark is used for dyeing. Now, my dear, I think you must be quite tired with hearing so much about Canadian fruits."
"Anything else, Charlie?" "Yes. Twenty-seven pounds of sugar at 9 cents." "The loaf, eh? And what else?" "Seven and a half pounds of bacon at 20 cents." "That will be a good brand. Go on." "Five pounds of tea at 90 cents; eleven and a half quarts of molasses at 8 cents a pint; two eight-pound hams at 21 1/4 cents, and five dozen jars of pickled walnuts at 24 cents a jar."
