    Hallo! A great deal of steam! the pudding was out of the
    copper. A smell like a washing-day! That was the cloth. A
    smell like an eating-house and a pastrycook's next door to each
    other, with a laundress's next door to that. That was the
    pudding.

kneading, the making of the cake, the heating of the oven, and
the baking; nay, you must stay the cooling too, or you may chance
to burn your lips.
