"If my cousin Suzette had been here," she observed, with the shadow of a malicious smile on her lips, "I believe she would have gone into a flood of tears at the loss of her bread-and-butter, and Comus would have figured ever after in her mind as something black and destroying and hateful. In fact I don't really know why we took our loss so unprotestingly."
For all the world stops at Freiburg to hear and enjoy the great organ, all except the self-satisfied English clergyman, who says he does n't care much for it, and would rather go about town and see the old walls; and the young and boorish French couple, whose refined amusement in the railway-carriage consisted in the young man's catching his wife's foot in the window-strap, and hauling it up to the level of the window, and who cross themselves and go out after the first tune; and the two bread-and-butter English young ladies, one of whom asks the other in the midst of the performance, if she has thought yet to count the pipes, a thoughtful verification of Murray, which is very commendable in a young woman traveling for the improvement of her little mind.

The chickadees and titmice seem to be a sort of sentry for the company. A large part of the time in birdland is spent in solving the "bread-and-butter" problem.
As for your bread-and-butter exorcism, Anna, I presume it was simply the expression of a hope that nothing might interfere between hungry folk and their dinner.

'It began with the tea, the Hatter replied. 'Of course twinkling begins with a T! said the King sharply. 'Do you take me for a dunce? Go on!
Yes, one has heard his name; he's one of those who will astonish the world, although he hasn't red hair." Pelle had to drink a cup of coffee.
