As Tip watched her his uneasiness increased. "What is that for?" he asked. "For you," returned Mombi, briefly. Tip wriggled around upon his stool and stared awhile at the kettle, which was beginning to bubble.

When the flames began to crackle the boy came to her and asked a share of the bread and cheese; but Mombi refused him. “I’m hungry!” said Tip, in a sulky tone. “You won’t be hungry long,” replied Mombi, with a grim look. The boy didn’t like this speech, for it sounded like a threat; but he happened to remember he had nuts in his pocket, so he cracked some of those and ate them while the woman rose, shook the crumbs from her apron, and hung above the fire a small black kettle. Then she measured out equal parts of milk and vinegar and poured them into the kettle. Next she produced several packets of herbs and powders and began adding a portion of each to the contents of the kettle. Occasionally she would draw near the candle and read from a yellow paper the recipe of the mess she was concocting.
