Excerpt from Inside Our Gate For a year after we got settled in our own house, we were ministered to by what Allan called a moving procession of poor cooks. I no sooner got used to a cooks name than she went away. I always called the one who was present by the name of her predecessor, and had just decided to use only the generic name of "Cook, " when our affairs took a turn for the better. It makes me laugh now to think of that procession. At first untidiness seemed to be the prevailing fault, but after a while I found a cook who was neat. She was a Norwegian woman, and was determined to do everything after the fashion of Christiania, or not at all. She positively would not give a second rising to the bread. "No, no!" she would say, setting her lips firmly, "good, good! see, good!" and then would look admiringly at the low, heavy loaf.
