Such domestic implements as pots and kettles bad been bundled up inacorner all by themselves, and the cook was nowhere. Divner, however, had not been forgotten. A solitary pot stood simmering (if ever it did stm- mer) on the stove, and (start not, for it fs true) there was a bronze dish in waiting before the oven, and on the dish a sucking pig all ready to be baked!
