They should keep such stuff for Paris, and from London stop away.


The Christmas Pudding.

If you wish to make a pudding in which everyone delights,

Of a dozen new-laid eggs you must take the yolks and whites;

Beat them well up in a basin till they thoroughly combine,

And shred and chop some suet particularly fine;

Take a pound of well-stoned raisins, and a pound of currants dried,

A pound of pounded sugar, and a pound of peel beside;

Stir them all well up together with a pound of wheaten flour,
