当小黑人本抗议他的冷玉米饼上的蚂蚁时, 玛莎制止了他。

Perhaps Mary longed for cornpone and cowpeas and white bacon.
也许玛丽渴望玉米饼、豇豆和白培根。

We made cornpone of our own meal, ground at the old water-mill at Hawthorn.
我们用自己的食物做了玉米饼, 在霍索恩的旧水磨坊磨碎。

Yet she made a game of hunger, and a meal of fish and cornpone was a festival.
然而她把饥饿当作游戏, 一顿鱼和玉米饼是一种节日。
史蒂芬‧金谈写作
It's hard to say exactly what's wrong with Lovecraft's dialogue, other than the obvious: it's stilted and lifeless, brimming with country cornpone ( “some place whar things ain't as they is here” ) .
Below cornpone is hoe-cake and this is made simply of cornmeal, salt and water, very thin in texture, and fried in a skillet if one has fat for frying, or often in a Dutch oven or over a hearth or camp fire.
