This was partly because we thought it would be more satisfactory to be able to go straight through them, partly as a check on a propensity for beginning things and not finishing them, to which we are liable, and partly from the childish habit of "saving up the treat for the last," as we used in "old times" to pick the raisins out of the puddings and lay them by for a bonne bouche when we should have done our duty by the more solid portion.
"Uncle Jaff, are you going to eat all that?" she asked in an audible whisper. "Yes, and you too," he roared, "and mummy and daddy and Uncle Adrian, if I don't get enough to eat!" "And Aunt Doria?" Again he reddened but he turned to Doria and bowed. "In my quality of ogre only a bonne bouche," said he. It was said very charmingly, and we laughed.
There is, then, a fatality in love, or have loved him I must; for he was really a treasure, a bit for the Bonne Bouche of a duchess; and, to say the truth, my liking for him was so extreme, that it was distinguishing very nicely to deny that I loved him. My happiness, however, with him did not last long, but found an end from my own imprudent neglect.
The rest of the moving multitude was composed of the servantry and the camp-followers.

Auger begins to laugh; everybody laughs.
It doesn't make any burden of gratitude, if my name is kept out of it. The factor mustn't mention me, Bouche not yet. When he is well we will go to London with It, Bouche, and we needn't meet her.

I have had chicken soup and roast fowl for dinner, the chicken in the soup as stringy as hemp, the fowl as tough as my sandal, and with so large a liver that I doubted whether the bird had not met with a violent death. I like fowl's liver, it is my one bonne bouche during the day, but these startled me, and after straining my teeth on the carcase, I gladly swallow the soft mouthful. Oh!
In the course of his voyage, England met with two ships, but these taking shelter under Cape Corso Castle, he unsuccessfully attempted to set them on fire. He next sailed down to Whydah road, where Captain La Bouche had been before England, and left him no spoil. He now went into the harbor, cleaned his own ship, and fitted up the Peterborough, which he called the Victory.
