Now the browned half was on the upper or handle side, while the unbrowned half was on the side near the ground, and in a few minutes the whole loaf was deliciously browned. While the bread was baking David drove a stick into the ground at one side and a little farther from the fire than the pan.
When the loaf had browned on top to his satisfaction he removed it from the pan and leaned it against the stick with the bottom exposed to the fire, and proceeded to bake a second loaf. "Let me have the dough that's left," Jamie begged. "Aye, take un if you likes," David consented.
"There'll be too little for another loaf, whatever." Jamie secured a dry stick three or four feet long and about two inches in diameter.
This he scraped clean of bark, and pulling the dough into a rope as thick as his finger wound it in a spiral upon the centre of the stick.
Then he flattened the dough until it was not above a quarter of an inch in thickness. On the opposite side of the fire from David, that he might not interfere with David's cooking, he arranged two stones near enough together for an end of the stick to rest on each.
