   "Our pretty hostess turned out a _praprika_ chicken* as well as any cook in Pesth"...
*Chicken stewed with the red pepper common to the country; a favourite national dish.
(OED has 1896 for "paprika," and about ten years later for "paprika chicken"--ed.)

Pg. 283:  ...two _metzen_* of wheat...
*One bushel and three-quarters, Winchester measure.
(The book uses "mezen" on another page.  Does the revised OED have either one?--ed.)

VOLUME THREE
Pg. 188:  an excellent bowl of _Tarho_*...
*Curds and whey.
(OED?--ed.)

Pg. 189:  The delighted Theresa was instantly all curiousity, and insisted on knowing what the Queen was like: nay, so bent was she upon obtaining a _real_ idea of "the first lady in the realm," that she ultimately consented to reward the confidence with a kiss.
("First lady of the realm" pre-dates Hillary Rodham Clinton?--ed.)
