Wasn't that a lovely dream?"
To do this well lay exactly in the quaint, delicate nature of the angelic Frater; and this portion of the picture is most exquisitely handled. The other moiety, where devils with rabbits' ears, tiger faces, and monkeys' tails, are forking over the damned into frying-pans, while Satan devours them as fast as cooked, is common-place and vulgar.
"I have basins, ewers, of tin, pewter and glass. Great vessels of copper, fine latten and brass: Both pots, pans and kettles, such as never was. I have platters, dishes, saucers and candle-sticks, Chafers, lavers, towels and fine tricks: Posnets, frying-pans, and fine puddingpricks ... Fine pans for milk, and trim tubs for sowse.
Seated on the floor, in the midst of a scattered array of pots, kettles and frying-pans, her box of plates upset, her precious camera in her lap, and blissfully unconscious that the slide was open, sat Jean, a very picture of despair. "Mighty man! And have ye been in here all this toim, an' not to be smothered dead!" cried Mary.
A huge pot of coffee sent forth clouds of fragrant steam, and in two frying-pans some freshly caught fish sizzled and browned in a most gratifying and appetizing manner.

"Kettles and frying-pans! what has us here?" cried the tinker.
And in front of the counter, outside the hull, were two stoves with rice and fish sputtering fragrantly in oil in their respective frying-pans. A going concern, no doubt of that! Not a question of getting rich, you understand, but a bite to eat for the boys! And Tona would smile and rub her hands gloatingly. Not a cent did she owe in the world.
"They broke my leg. My God, the fools!" "Here now!" called the police captain. "Here now! Here now!" "Childs', Fifty-ninth Street," at eight o'clock of any morning differs from its sisters by less than the width of their marble tables or the degree of polish on the frying-pans.
Wall declared the race a triple tie. Haversacks were unpacked. Frying-pans and pots were dragged forth. Potatoes were laid among hot coals. Mr. Wall had chopped some wood and had his own fire going. Now he walked among the boys. "You're getting your fire too big," he warned Bobbie. "You don't need much of a blaze to cook." "How's mine?" said Tim. "Fine!" said the Scoutmaster. "Keep it that way."
