And my lord pulled my dear Jemmy's gown in the kindest and most familiar way, she trotting on after him, mightily pleased to be so taken notice of, and I after her. A little boy went running across the green. "Who is it, Petitoes?" screams my lord. "Turk and the barber," pipes Petitoes, and runs to the pastry-cook's like mad. "Turk and the ba ," laughs out my lord, looking at us.
We got it while the others were grubbing at the pastry-cook's in the High Street, and we said nothing till after tea, though it was hard not to fire at the birds on the telegraph wires as we came home in the train. After tea we called a council in the straw-loft, and Oswald said 'Denny and I have got a secret. 'I know what it is, Dicky said contemptibly.
The western cloud was turning crimson, and the steep roofs and grey church-tower absorbed in sombre colours the tender light. The curate was going home to his lodgings, but he bethought him of his tea, and turned into the pastry-cook's by the way. 'Have you any muffins, Mrs. Yeander? he asked.

My father and my husband shook hands like men who had not met for twenty years; the eyes of both were moist. As for myself, it was impossible for me to share their emotion.

Velasquez remained a year in Rome.
The pastry-cook's boy soon became the indispensable companion of the czar, assisted him in his workshop, attended him in his wars, and at the siege of Azov displayed the greatest bravery. He accompanied Peter in his travels, worked with him in Holland, and distinguished himself in the wars with the Swedes, receiving the order of St. Andrew for gallantry at the battle of the Neva.
A sound from Fleur distracted his attention. "Look! The people who were in the Gallery with us." "What people?" muttered Soames, who knew perfectly well. "I think that woman's beautiful." "Come into this pastry-cook's," said Soames abruptly, and tightening his grip on her arm he turned into a confectioner's.
The necessity of making sure that no accident had happened to her disguise in the interval since she had left her own room impressed itself immediately on her mind. She stopped the driver at the first pastry-cook's shop which he passed, and there obtained the means of consulting a looking-glass before she ventured back to Vauxhall Walk.
We stayed at table for three hours, drinking, singing, and jesting, while my humble servants, whose beauty almost rivalled that of my guests, waited upon us. Towards the end of the meal the pastry-cook's wife came in with the countess's baby on her breast. This was a dramatic stroke.
