And how many of the most delightful soirees in Paris, are collected in plain rooms, au second, or au troisieme, with a brick floor to stand on, and a glass of orgeat, with a bit of brioche to eat!" "Lots and Love Speculation and Flirtation, are too entirely the order of the day, and of the evening, with us," said Harry; "whether figuring on Change, or on a Brussels carpet."
We should be able to choose our own, and advertize tea, brioche, and conversation in return for the delicacies of the season." "But you, Charlotte you could never live that life!"

The only concession made to her for the porter could hold out little hope of any neighbouring hotel having an empty room was to allow her to sit and sleep in one of the comfortable basket chairs in the long atrium.

"It's full of cream tarts and cherry tarts, and custard pies made right in our own home. I'm taking them to my boy, and as we stayed up very late to make them so that they would be quite fresh, I should hate to have any of them crushed or broken. He did love them so when he was little!" "Our son was just the same. As soon as he was able to eat he begged them to let him have some brioche.
Miss Josephine Williams had come to the fore with information and kindly offers of tea and brioche. Professor Green was thrown into the depths of despair when he learned that the absent ones were visiting the d'Ochtès in Normandy, and Kent could not conceal his misery when Jo let out that Pierce Kinsella was one of the party.
We walked down to the Mairie, where the Mayor and his Adjoint were waiting for us; they conducted us to a large room upstairs where there was a table with champagne bottles, glasses and a big brioche. As soon as we had taken our places at the top of the room, the Pompiers and Municipal Council trouped in and Francis made quite a pretty little speech.
Everything is gone or going. Mother is dead! mother is dead! Yet she meant to be kind, poor Thekla, she didn't know it would hurt." Mme. Lemercier came into the room with a cup of coffee and a brioche. "You have a long journey before you, my little one," she said; "you must take this before you start."
