No,
I
won't
tell
his
name,
but
many
a
delicious
morsel
is
concocted
after
his
day's
ride
Is
over;
and
after
a
plunge
In
the
hot
springs
and
a
gallop
home
to
his
shanty
with
his
*'
bunkie,"
a
handsome
six-footer
from
Sheffield,
he
has
his
dish
of
tea,
and
with
it
a
sublime
sandwich
of
his
own
particular
variety,
which
his
sister
serves
on
her
house-boat
at
Henley
or
during
the
shooting
season
at
their
Scottish
castle.
Work
as
much
brown
sugar
as
is
needed
Into
a
bowl
of
butter
until
the
butter
has
absorbed
all
that
Is
possible,
then
flavor
with
old
Jamaica
rum
and
nutmeg
until
It
has
the
desired
''
bouquet."
Spread
on
thin
slices
of
whole
wheat
bread
which
have
been
thinly buttered,
and
make
Into
triangular
sandwiches.
This,
with
a
cup
of
smoking-hot
Ceylon
tea,
would
reconcile
a
man
to
even
the
"
pink
"
variety
of
afternoon
teas,
especially
If
he
is
allowed
a
dash
of
the
rum
In
his
teacup.

the
