"I shall be happy to smoke your cigars and drink your cognacs." He was in the mood for any adventure, comic or serious.

"Come, then," said Beauvais, gaily; and the two made off. "It is a wonderful game of chess, this world of ours."
"Mais si, monsieur, in this pan I can cook an omelette large enough for you all; you will see. Ah, madame, you are off already? Celestine! Madame's bill, in the desk yonder. And you, monsieur, you too leave us? Deux cognacs? Victor deux cognacs et une demi-tasse pour monsieur!"
