Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old English Gentleman, Vol. 2 of 3: Or the Fields and the Woods
Now then, said the squire, entering the servants' hall, let us have the bowl.
In a few minutes a large, old-fashioned china bowl was brought in by the butler. To the brim it was filled with spiced wine, which sent a fragrant steam to the ceiling. Roasted apples hissed and floated in the capacious vessel, and a large ladle was buried within an inch of the fawn-foot handle in its contents.
