The colonel when at table, it would
appear, is talkative and full of life and
spirits. That's all right. He made the
aemark that my consomme was exquisite
but, was seasoned too highly with cay-
enne, and of course I heard of it. No
such thing. But that's all right. I'll
bet he only said it to lead off to curries
and his experiences in hot climates and
his *'hairbreath 'scapes by flood and
field." That's all right too; we aU have
our parts to play and get our work in when
we can. I'he'n, later on, he asked the
manager, with whom he is already on
termsof the utmost cordiality,v,-hy this was
called Eve's pudding and the manager,
laughing, said he would ask me. Now, a
fellow uoes not want to be bothered with
fool questions after scudding around the
whole of a hot morning preparinga din-
ner and then carving and serving it ; still
I did not tell them to go to thunder as
cooks generally do under such circum-
stances— this house being too sniall for
anybody to be mean in — but replied that
the pudding is as old as the hills; one of
the best ever was invented; the receipt
has been put in rhyme like Sydney Smith's
salad dressing; didn't known why it_ is
called Eve's unless because it contains
apples, and couldn't even see where that
came in. Then the irrepressible colonel
took a bill of fare and wrote on the back
of it:
Eureka !
"The woman tempted me and I did
eat."
The pudding tempted/;/^ and /did eat I
The manager showed it to me after
dinner was over. That's all right. I'll
keep it to fling at the next one asks me
something I don't know. I'll have to
save tenderloin steaks for the colonel.
