As I rolled the pastry I lived out a fancy I had nourished, since the first apple blossom pinked in May- the making of the perfect dish. Next day was All Hallows Eve, or Souling Night as we called it, and all our neighbors would gather for Old Ned's cider and Mrs Garland's Soul Cakes. After the stablemen acted out the Souling play, the unmarried maids would have a lark, guessing their husband's name from apple pairings thrown over their shoulders. So what better night, I thought, for Jem to announce our wedding? At the ripe age of twenty-two years, the uncertainties of maidenhood were soon to pass me by. Crimping my tarts, I passed into that forgetfulness that is a most delightful way of being. My fingers scattered flour and my elbows spun the rolling pin along the slab. Unrolling before my eyes were scenes of triumph: of me and Jem leading a cheery procession to the chapel, posies of flowers in my hand and pinned to Jem's blue jacket. In my head I turned over the makings of my Bride Cake that sat in secret in the larder- ah, wouldn't that be the richest, most hotly spiced delight? And all the bitter maidens who put it underneath their pillows would be sorrowing to think that Jem was finally taken, bound and married off to me.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Martine Bailey" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/martine-bailey/that-baking-day-was-the-third-day-mrs-g-had-shut-herself-away-in-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/31e/martine-bailey-22087_baking_that-baking-day-was-the-third-day-mrs-g_3167935.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/31e/martine-bailey-22087_baking_that-baking-day-was-the-third-day-mrs-g_3167935.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/31e/martine-bailey-22087_baking_that-baking-day-was-the-third-day-mrs-g_3167935.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“That baking day was the third day Mrs G had shut herself away in the stillroom, dosing herself with…” — Martine Bailey", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/thought-jem/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/thought-jem/", "name": "Thought Jem Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/thought-jem/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ca2/harper-lee-451_algebra_as-i-made-my-way-home-i-thought-jem-and_1419307.png" }, "description": "Browse 3 Thought Jem quotes by 3 authors.
