This inviting bill, which was printed on birch bark, 
was received with great applause. Mr. Dutton ventured 
a mild doubt as to the French rendering of ^^wild" 
onions, but was instantly frowned down by the rest of 
the company. The rabbit and grouse had been shot a 
week before, and kept frozen for the occasion. The Ind- 
ians, nay, Solomon himself, had scoured the woods during 
the intervening period, with the hope of procuring more 
variety for the grand dinner, but had failed to find a 
living creature.
