Book Description

Excerpt from Palms Pearls: Or Scenes in Ceylon A lady made up her mind to give out no more pudding cloths, as she found that they invariably disappeared. One day when there was a delay in serving up the sweets she visited the scene of action, and found the cook in a state Of nudity boiling the pudding in one end Of his waist-cloth. Another lady's taste for bread and butter pudding was suddenly annihilated by her finding the cook one day squatting on the ground with a large lump of butter stuck on the end Of his big toe, from which he was rapidly spreading slices Of bread for his mistress's pudding. From which the moral is judge of what is put on the table by its present merits rather than by its possible ante cedents.
