“Henriette brought forth from that basket a linen tablecloth with an embroidered âFâ in one corner; a collection of china with which Devons was familiar; a monogrammed silver knife, fork, and spoon; a crystal drinking-glass; several aluminum cooking-dishes which he was sure the Fairburne chef would have to account for some day; and then a cold chicken, some dainty biscuits, a box of fresh eggs, and several different kinds of jellies and jams, and finally a bottle of milk.”

A batter as above. When the pancakes are fried, lay upon a hot plate, spread quickly with nice jam or jelly, and roll up neatly upon the preserves. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar, and send around with wine sauce or sweetened cream.
