At intervals the passengers foregathered for meals at some wayside buffet or accommodation house, meals whose quality was in inverse ratio to the exuberance of the prices charged therefor, then each would return to his own box and smoke and read and sleep away the little matter of seven hundred miles.
Peaceful, indeed! as if there was any peace where there is no confidence, and no love, and no good feeling either for one thing or another." "Really, Ned, it seems to me you're indignant without any occasion. I am tempted to laugh at you again." "No, don't. You'd better not." "Ha! ha! ha! I can not help it, Ned; so don't buffet me.
The plan of serving the refreshments at a buffet all through the reception retains its place as the most convenient and appropriate of forms. The wedding breakfast, where toasts are drunk and speeches made, is practicable in England, but hardly here, where we are not to the manner born.
But Robin, with his feet wide apart, stood firmly planted, waiting the other, smiling. Then the King swung back his arm, and, balancing himself a moment, he delivered a buffet at Robin that fell like a thunderbolt. Down went Robin headlong upon the grass, for the stroke would have felled a stone wall.
He flies to the ocean, and beds with his fellows on the broad open shoals for safety. But the east winds blow; and the shoals are a yeasty mass of tumbling breakers. They buffet him about; they twist his gay feathers; they dampen his pinions, spite of his skill in swimming. Then he goes to the creeks and harbors.

But for these articles of furniture, the buffet, the desk, and the door to the kitchen quarters, uninterrupted rows of tables, square, with composition-marble tops, lined three walls of the room. The fourth was mainly plate-glass window, one on either side of the main entrance. Back of the tables were wall-seats upholstered in red plush, dusty and threadbare; and, above, a frieze of mirrors.
For this is the first battle, knight against knight, that I have undertaken in all of my life. And I beseech thee that thou wilt greet Sir Kay the Seneschal, from me, and that thou wilt say to him that by and by I shall meet him and repay him that buffet which he gave to the damsel Yelande, the Dumb Maiden, in the Queen's pavilion."
Bereft of man, O little isle! the ocean waves will buffet thee, and the raven flap his wings over thee; thy soil will be birth-place of weeds, thy sky will canopy barrenness.
