<DIV>I really like this; one feels one is edging very slightly towards
comprehension. It has been suggested to me that, with the emphasis on
*bone*, the implication is that there’s not much meat! That’s one reason I
feel unhappy about steak.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In response to Anne Fernald, of course I want to know what a grilled bone
is in English. Once I know that, I can find out what Jacob should’ve asked
for in French – thus, a fuller note! (Could one *grill* a bone marrow,
rather than roasting it?)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Slightly off the point and showing my ignorance even more, how *did* you
grill meat in a kitchen in 1914? You have a grill over an open fire?
Like a BBQ? My experience has always been with electric cookers: the meat
is in a tray below the electric rings. How do you grill with a gas
cooker? In a similar way, I think(?). More to the point, how could
you grill with a *range*?</DIV>

an example from A. A. Milne, so nearer the date of <I>Jacob's Room</I>. What is
frustrating about this is that it might be mocking the maid for believing that
grilled bone is grilling what's left of the joint when there's no meat left, or
it might really be this. I suspect the former.<BR><BR>Jeremy<BR><BR><BR>Nancy:
(Without looking up.) Yes, Mary? <BR>Mary: It's about the dinner,
ma'am.<BR>Nancy: (With a sigh.) Yes, I was afraid it was.<BR>It isn't a very
nice subject to talk about, is it, Mary?<BR>Mary: Well, ma'am, it has its
awkwardness like.<BR>Nancy: (After a pause, but not very hopefully.)<BR>How is
the joint looking?<BR>Mary: Well, it's past looking like anything very
much.<BR>Nancy: Well, there's the bone. Mary: Yes, there's the bone.<BR>Nancy:
(Gaily.) Well, there we are, Mary. Soup. <BR>Mary: If you remember, maam, we had
soup yesterday.<BR>Nancy: (Wistfully.) Couldn't you " couldn't you squeeze it
again, Mary ?<BR>Mary: It's past squeezing, ma'am " in this world <BR>Nancy: I
was reading in a book the other day about two people who went out to dinner one
night " they always dine late in books, Mary " and ordered a grilled bone. It
seemed such a funny thing to have, when they had everything else to choose from.
I suppose our ...<BR>Mary: Grilling wouldn't do it no good, ma'am. <BR>Nancy:
(Trying to be fair.) Well, I suppose we mustn't blame it. It has been a good
joint to us.<BR>Mary: A good stayer, as you might say.<BR>Nancy: Yes. Well, I
suppose we shall have to get another.<BR>Mary: Yes, ma'am.<BR><BR>(Milne, A. A.
