You could not, indeed, produce it; you could not describe it, you could not say beforehand what it will be; but when you come upon it, you will feel that it is just what you were sure it would be.

Throughout the thirteen days I passed at Jerusalem, I did not find the heat excessive. Fruit I saw none, with the exception of the little apricots called mish-mish, which are not larger than a walnut, but nevertheless have a very fine flavour.
Martin Tinman invited Van Diemen Smith to try the flavour of a wine that, as he said, he thought of "laying down." It has been hinted before of a strange effect upon the minds of men who knew what they were going to, when they received an invitation to dine with Tinman.
Here, if you tire of shrimping on the wide stretch of sands, it is possible to desert Normandy by the little steamer that during the summer plies between this point and Gorey in Jersey.

Happy the ortolans whom destiny puts into Potel's plate of honour! Most fortunate of geese, whose liver is fattened by a slow fire to figure presently here with the daintiest and noblest of viands! The pig who hunts the truffle would have his reward could he know that presently the fragrant vegetable would give flavour to his trotter!
