Oh! what a pretty old house!" "The sign Notre Dame; it is an old cabaret, which I have transformed into a private house in two days." "But the cabaret is still open?" "Pardieu!" "And where do you lodge, then? "I? I lodge with Planchet." "You said, just now, 'This is my house." "I said so, because, in fact, it is my house. I have bought it." "Ah!" said Raoul.
"Well, I do not think we ought to consider ourselves unfortunate, for my part, at least. A good repast vin de Joigny, which they have the delicacy to go and fetch for me from my favorite cabaret not one impertinence heard during a supper an hour long, in spite of the presence of ten millionaires and twenty poets." "I stop you there.
O'Brien consented; the letter was delivered, and read to him, in which the sister was requested, by the love she bore to the writer, to do all she could for the bearer, who had the power of making the whole family miserable, but had refused so to do. O'Brien pocketed the letter filled his brandy flask, and saluting all the women, left the cabaret, dragging me after him with a cord.

Outside the theatres, flaunting posters made pools of color; in the roadway, the network of traffic surged and intermingled; from amid the flat house fronts, at every few hundred yards, some cabaret broke upon the sight in crude confusion of scenic painting and electric light; while dominating all a monument to the power of tradition the sails of the time-honored mill sprang red and glaring from a background of quiet sky.
His pale countenance flushed red. 'Here am I, he said, 'I am ready; but he who spoke speaks to mock me. Is it befitting in this presence? There was a struggle among the men. What are men made of?

In the early nineteenth century the favourite promenade of Parisian flaneurs was displaced from the Palais Royal to the Boulevard des Italiens, whither the proprietors of cafés and restaurants followed. A group of young fellows entered one evening a small cabaret near the Comédie Italienne (now Opéra Comique), found the wine to their taste and the cuisine excellent, praised host and fare to their friends, and the modest cabaret developed into the Café Anglais, most famous of epicurean temples, frequented during the Second Empire by kings and princes, to whom alone the haughty proprietor would devote personal care. The sumptuous cafés Tortoni, founded in 1798, and De Paris, opened 1822, have long since passed away. So has the Café Hardy, whose proprietor invented déjeuners
