Transplant her to the Chaussée d'Antin, instil the taste for diamonds, truffles, and Veuve Clicquot, and you poison her whole nature. She becomes false, cruel, greedy, prodigal of your money, parsimonious of her own a vampire a ghoul the hideous thing we call in polite parlance a Fille de Marbre."

At breakfast Miss Harris regarded Lotus darkly, for Mr. Gross had told her just enough to excite her curiosity. "Where were you last night?" she inquired. "I went to a show." "Were the pictures good?" "They don't have pictures at the Grand." "Oh h!" The manicurist's violet eyes opened wide. "Louis you drank something. You're awful pale. What was it?" "Clicquot!

"I think you may crack me a bottle of that Tokay over there.
While they were taking off their fur coats and their felt boots below, "Un Petit Verre de Clicquot" was being played upon the piano overhead, and they could hear the children beating time with their feet. Immediately on going in they were aware of the snug warmth and special smell of the old apartments of a mansion where, whatever the weather outside, life is so warm and clean and comfortable.
