I'm sure I don't. I'm surfeited now with pictures and jewelry, and bon-bon boxes, and little china dogs and cats and all these things that get so thick you can't move without upsetting some of them. There's papa, he don't want anything.
In short, Pierre Bon-Bon not only saw plainly that his Majesty had no eyes whatsoever, but could discover no indications of their having existed at any previous period for the space where eyes should naturally have been was, I am constrained to say, simply a dead level of flesh.
Meissonier's first paying enterprise was the painting of bon-bon boxes and the decorating of fans, and he tried to sell illustrations for children's stories, but for these he found no market.
Here, again, in fact, as with so many other of these Readings from his own books by our Novelist, the countless good things scattered abundantly up and down the original descriptions inimitable touches of humour that had each of them, on the appreciative palate, the effect of that verbal bon-bon, the bon-mot were sacrificed inexorably, apparently without a qualm, and certainly by wholesale.
One evening her father said to her: "Make yourself look very pretty to-morrow morning, Jeanne." "Why, papa?" she asked. "That's a secret," replied the baron. When she came down the next morning, looking fresh and bright in a light summer dress, she found the drawing-room table covered with bon-bon boxes, and an enormous bouquet on a chair.
I have said that “to enter the café in the cul-de-sac Le Febvre was to enter the sanctum of a man of genius” but then it was only the man of genius who could duly estimate the merits of the sanctum. A sign, consisting of a vast folio, swung before the entrance. On one side of the volume was painted a bottle; on the reverse a pâté. On the back were visible in large letters Oeuvres de Bon-Bon.
In the laughter and confusion, presents too bulky or too frail to be risked in a fall were placed near her, a long box of pink roses, a tall vase of cut-glass, a big, big box of candy, a pretty bon-bon dish, a small fern, and a little begonia with lovely pink blossoms.
The ensign's silver bon-bon box and his purse of gold; the livid face of the poor fellow as he fell; the huzzas of the men of my company as I went out under a smart fire and rifled him; their shouts and curses as we came hand in hand with the Frenchmen, these are, in truth, not very dignified recollections, and had best be passed over briefly.
We caught a scarlet-tanager for you to begin with, didn't we, Jack?" and Ralph threw a bon-bon at Jill, who looked very like a bright little bird in a warm nest. "Good for you! Yes, and we are going to keep her in this pretty cage till we can both fly off together. I say, Jill, where shall we be in our classes when we do get back?" and Jack's merry face fell at the thought.
Do you know, I cannot bear to see a child look thoughtful. On the floor there lay a rag doll, but she was not playing with it as, motionless, she stood there with her finger to her lips. Even a bon-bon which the landlady had given her she was not eating. Is it not all sad, sad, Barbara? June 25th. MY BELOVED MAKAR ALEXIEVITCH I return you your book.
