CONTEXT:
The Mayor turned so pale at this that the Constable had to thrust a banana into his mouth to restore his courage.--From The Magic Pudding--
I can't tell if it's better that this sentence is illustrated or not. And what does it mean that these two characters (both portrayed as rather weak and/or effeminate) are stuffing themselves with bananas while everyone else in the book is eating pie and the occasional egg?
Are these bananas just bananas?

Sometimes a banana is just a banana.
Not this time.
But sometimes.
Just sayn'
