She almost added, "And it is she whom your stepmother is jealous of," but she pulled herself up in time. "What a lot you seem to know about Holliday," remarked Roger half-quizzically, half-seriously, eyeing her over the menu. She laughed cheerfully. "I do. I told you he interested me as a type. Caviare or grape-fruit? Oh, caviare. I feel like it, somehow."
"Il ira loin!" she said tersely; "he flatters me discreetly, as they did when I was young, before the Republic." The silent, well-trained man handed round caviare and olives; Mary trifled with some grapes, her brow knitted a little, thoughtfully. Lady Garnett poured herself a glass of maraschino. When they were left alone, the girl remarked abruptly: "I am not sure whether I quite like Mr.

He lacked imagination; but his descriptive powers were racy, and he knew instinctively what was likely to take, and what would be caviare to the general.
A flood of colour on the pavement of a covered way a great disarray of little shrivelled lemons, with stalks in many cases, for they have been gathered hard by. In the centre of the market-place are all the meat and fish shops, and there one may see huge sturgeon and salmon brought from the fisheries of the Caspian. Garish notices inform in five languages that fresh caviare is received each day.
"What?" "See what others don't." Sir Thorald, a trifle disconcerted, applied himself to caviare and, later, to a bottle of Moselle.

It is better for us all to eat bread and butter and pie than for two or three of us to eat the olives and caviare, and the rest to have to sit gnawing their forks and spoons." Mrs. Peter Jones, who is sometimes thought of for the president instead of Flora, bridled a little. "I suppose you think that these books are above the ladies of this village," said she.
I have, of course, had appetites, impatiences... Why, sometimes at a table d'hôte, when there would be, say, caviare handed round, I have been absolutely full of impatience for fear that when the dish came to me there should not be a satisfying portion left over by the other guests. I have been exceedingly impatient at missing trains.
But her husband had answered in his rough way, that he was very thankful for the honor, but that he was quite convinced that a portion of the backside of a pretty young girl would please the artist better than his whole face . She said that she was at the time very much in love with her husband, and teased him a good deal. She had also asked him not to send her any caviare. What does that mean?
I am bored, not in the sense of weltschmerz, not in the sense of being weary of existence, but simply bored from want of people, from want of music which I love, and from want of women, of whom there are none in Yalta.
