He would fulfil his boyish promise made last Yuletide, when he vowed her that the day should come when she should no longer pine for the innocent gaieties and luxuries of wealth, but should herself be a lady of some degree, and should have her house and her horses and servants, and a bright and happy future with the husband of her choice.
Misson says, "the plum-porridge is not at all inferior to the pie;" the goose pie usually made at Christmas. Yule Cakes. I must now call your attention to the Yule Cakes. Yule dough a little image of paste, was formerly baked at Yuletide, and presented by bakers to their customers, as Christmas candles are given away by tallow chandlers.
"We have to go and get the Christmas tree. I was forgetting." "Look out of the window," Janet directed. Phyllis looked. The ground was covered with snow, and the world, as far as she could see anyway, was decked in its Yuletide white. They hurried with their dressing and, much to Martha's concern, with their breakfasts as well. "Here they come!" Phyllis cried, "and, oh, Jan, they are in a sleigh.
The ambassadors of Venice and France were there, with their courtly trains. The Lord High Constable of England was come to sit below the Queen. The earls, too, of Southampton, Montgomery, Pembroke, and Huntington were there; and William Cecil, Lord Burleigh, the Queen's High Treasurer, to smooth his care-lined forehead with a Yuletide jest.
Mary was possessed with a contrary desire to turn and rush upstairs. She felt dimly that to kiss Marjorie was to declare peace against her will. But her better nature whispered to her not to ruin the peace of Yuletide. She would respect the flag of truce for one day. Then she could give Marjorie the ring she had bought for her before coming to Sanford and laid away for Christmas.
"I have not sent for you for nothing, Oswald," she said, blushing a little as if it were a hard matter she had to speak of. "There is somewhat on my mind that I must needs disburden." "Open confession is good," I said, laughing "what is it? "Well have you forgotten your vow of last Yuletide?" "Not in the least. Would you have me do so? For that were somewhat hard." "No but yes, in a way."
The few who had promised themselves an Antipodean Yuletide in the frost or slush of merry England could not keep their words. The most would have to be made of the coast towns. What an exodus it would be! The "greater number" could not of course go far from the Diamond City. But Modder River was near.
And I would have him keep it, not being willing to take so great a sum about with me, and that he did willingly, only asking me to let him use it, if chance should be, on my behalf, and making me keep the silver money for my own use going homeward. "Yet I will keep you awhile, for Egfrid, the Thane's son of Hoxne, who is here at court, goes home for Yuletide, and so you can ride with him.
The logs blazed in deep fireplaces and their Forest Memories went to ashes. Bodily comfort there was and good-will and good wishes and the robust sensible making the best of what is best on the surface of our life. And hale eating and drinking as old England itself once ate and drank at Yuletide. And fast music and dancing that ever wanted to go faster than the music.
He was used to it, and it appeared the inevitable preliminary to Yuletide; though Cuthbert looked on in amaze, and marvelled how any household could consume the quantities of victuals under preparation, be their hospitality and generosity what it might. As he walked abroad in the streets he saw much the same sort of thing everywhere going on.
