If there is no great haste, the rice sets ten or fifteen minutes longer while the kernels dry out somewhat.

Then I gave the strip I was hanging a little twitch, being a trifle annoyed, perhaps, by this time, and was pained to see that an irregular patch of it remained on the wall, while the rest of it fell ...
