Once in Washington, during the winter, Riley a fellow-correspondent, who stayed in the same house with me, rushed into my room — it was past midnight — and said, “Great God, what can the matter be! What makes that awful smell?”

I said, “Calm yourself, Mr. Riley. There is no occasion for alarm. You smell about as usual.”

But he said there was no joke about this matter — the house was full of smoke — he had heard dreadful screams — he recognized the odor of burning human flesh. We soon found out that he was right. A poor old negro woman, a servant in the next house, had fallen on the stove and burned herself so badly that she soon died. It was a sad case, and at breakfast all spoke gloomily of the disaster, and felt low-spirited. The landlady even cried, and that depressed us still more. She said:

“Oh, to think of such a fate! She was so good, and so kind and so faithful. She had worked hard and honestly in that family for twenty-eight long years, and now she is roasted to death — yes, roasted to crisp, like 80 much beef.”

In a grave voice and without even the shadow of a smile, Riley said:

“Well done, good and faithful servant !”

It sounded like a benediction, and the landlady never perceived the joke, but I never came so near choking in my life.

Wrap the whole pig in heavy duty foil, throw it in the lava flow, and fish it out about 10 hours later. No problemo.

Now you're cooking with gas! Er, lava.
