Summing the whole thing up in a logical sort of way, Smooth made it amount to this: that the Lord Mayor, just mounting into greatness, could by no means make that greatness impressive by any knowledge of philosophy he possessed; so, to be sure that his importance had its force upon all vulgar minds, he suffered himself made to play the part of a monkey in a cake-shop.
French, I generally have a glass of wine and a biscuit, at the confectioner's, about this time. Will you give me the pleasure of your company? 'Charmee, Monsieur! I generally go in for the same kind of thing. So they repaired to the cake-shop, and sat talking for half-an-hour of trifles which made them laugh. 'And you really didn't know me? said Fanny, when her glass of wine was finished.
On Tuesday afternoon his way led him past the famous Rotterdam cake-shop.
"I know what she told me," said Fraser; "the idea of a man leaving a poor girl in a cake-shop and doing a bolt. He'll be punished for it, I know. He's a thoughtless, inconsiderate fellow, but one of the best-hearted chaps in the world, and I guess I'll do the best I can for him." Flower grinned safely in the darkness. "And any little help I can give you, Jack, I'll give freely," he said, softly.
The cake-shop was open: and Theo took out her little purse, netted by her dearest friend at school, and containing her pocket-piece, her grandmother's guinea, her slender little store of shillings nay, some copper money at one end; and she treated Charley to the meal which he loved. A great deal of fine company was at church.
"Let us join him," I said, as we gained the street again and turned mechanically into Delmonico's. "Not there," said Bracy with a laugh. "You forget! That's not Johnnyboy's gait just now. Come here." He was descending a few steps that led to a humble cake-shop.
'To make her think you are in love with her after all. 'I should look foolish if I were. 'Precisely. That is the idea. When she leaves the workshop in the evening follow her, and as she passes the cake-shop, sigh and ask her if she will not eat a "stuffed monkey" for the sake of peace-be-upon-him times. 'But she won't. 'Why not? She is still in love.
"London ways, and London books, and London detectives!" he muttered. "We're not up to date in Sussex. Now, if I could please myself, I'd be hot-foot after Elkin. I see what Winter has in his mind, but surely Elkin fills the bill, and Siddle doesn't.... What was that word volt what!" Doris was lucky. She met Mr. Siddle as she emerged from the back passage to the cake-shop.
This Madame liked the pretty, sociable Americaine, always smiled when she entered the shop with her husband, counselled her as to the choicest dainties of the day, asked her opinion deferentially as that of a connoisseur, and made her little gifts. Through the cake-shop Milly came to realize the French, as her husband never did.
She went into Downes's cake-shop but the shop was so full of people that it was a long time before she could get herself attended to. She bought a dozen of mixed penny cakes, and at last came out of the shop laden with a big bag. Then she thought what else would she buy: she wanted to buy something really nice. They would be sure to have plenty of apples and nuts.
