This is called | ‘ cedar- sticks laid between boiled 
55 flounders;”’ and || the broken cedar-sticks in the 
bottom of the kettle are called | “cross-cedar- 
sticks of the whole boiled flounders.’’ When all | this has been

cooked. | She puts the bone strainer under the topmost one of the | 
flounders, so that it does not break to pieces when she lifts it out, and

boiled flounders out of the kettle, she puts them into a dish | in front
