Aunt Patty's Scrap-Bag (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Aunt Patty's Scrap-Bag
Ness and clearness, looked temptingly from a trans parent dish; and buckwheat cakes, palpitating and smoking from the griddle, every pore filled with melted butter, were passed round the table, yet none but the younger children extended their fork, moved by a spirit of appropriation. Yes, there was one more, and that was Aunt Patty, who sat on the right side of Mrs. Worth, near the hiss ing coffee urn, and who never suffered sentiment to interfere with the duties of life - and of all its da ties, she considered none of more importance and dignity than those connected with the science of gastronomy. While the family thus sit in silence, and most of them in idleness, we will avail our selves of the opportunity of description, and pre sent them individually before the reader. Let us pay honor where honor is due, and commence with Mrs. Worth, who sat at the head of the table, where she usually presided, the image of smiling hospitality; but this morning there was no smile on her face, and every now and then a tear was seen gathering in her eye, which she tried to force back, but the utmost her efiforts could accomplish was to prevent the gathering drops from falling in a shower. She was a handsome woman, or rather.
