Well, since coming back, and with no permanent arrangements made, I have had plenty of chance for getting into position to appreciate the really first-class. There was a color-scheme in pale pink ribbons of that color, pink icing on the cakes, and so on. The same thing could be done, and done charmingly, in light green with pistache ice-cream. Of course the candle-shades were pink too."
"What," asked the duke, "what do you mean?" and he gave him the cane again, first making a semicircle from the head to the tail of Pistache. "Jump then, Monsieur Pistache." But Pistache, as at first, turned round on his legs and stood with his back to the cane.
"And now," said the duke, raising it still six inches higher, "jump for the king." The dog obeyed and jumped quickly over the cane. "Now, then," said the duke, and as he spoke, lowered the cane almost level with the ground; "Pistache, my friend, jump for the 'Illustrious Coxcomb, Mazarin de Piscina." The dog turned his back to the cane.
Can it be, can it possibly be, the 'Illustrious Coxcomb, Mazarin de Piscina, hey?" Pistache made violent signs that it was, by raising and lowering his head eight or ten times successively. "Gentlemen, you see," said the duke to those present, who dared not even smile, "that it is the 'Illustrious Coxcomb' who is the greatest thief in the world; at least, according to Pistache."
Every kind of revenge was practiced upon the duke by the governor in return for the insults of the innocent Pistache. De Chavigny, who, according to report, was a son of Richelieu's, and had been a creature of the late cardinal's, understood tyranny.
Kitty's fondness for ice cream was a family joke, but all welcomed the little Santa Clauses made of orange ice, and carrying trees of pistache cream. After dinner a game of romps was allowed. Mrs. Maynard, Grandma and Baby Rosy did not join in this, but went off by themselves, leaving the living-room to the more enthusiastic rompers.
The first part of the entertainment being concluded Pistache was desired to say what o'clock it was; he was shown Monsieur de Chavigny's watch; it was then half-past six; the dog raised and dropped his paw six times; the seventh he let it remain upraised. Nothing could be better done; a sun-dial could not have shown the hour with greater precision.
Whip 1 quart of cream with 2 cupfuls of sugar until stiff. Put in the freezer until half frozen; then add the juice and grated peel of 2 lemons, 2 tablespoonfuls of fine brandy, and a little pistache coloring. Let freeze until hard and serve with cake. French Chocolate Biscuits. Beat the yolks of 6 eggs with 10 ounces of powered sugar; add 1 ounce of powdered French chocolate.
Pistache, on a signal from his master, placed himself on this line, raised himself on his hind paws, and holding in his front paws a wand with which clothes used to be beaten, he began to dance upon the line with as many contortions as a rope-dancer.
Monsieur de Chavigny, be so good as to lend me your cane." Monsieur de Chavigny handed his cane to Monsieur de Beaufort. Monsieur de Beaufort placed it horizontally at the height of one foot. "Now, Pistache, my good dog, jump the height of this cane for Madame de Montbazon."
