Berthe laughed with her little cooing sound in the throat. "Omelette aux fines herbes, et poulet roti aux cresson oui, monsieur." She departed and they listened to the repetition of it all "Deux consommes deux " as she shouted it through the little doorway to the kitchen. "Supposing I were to die," Traill repeated. He leant his elbows on the table and gazed steadily into her eyes.
The analogy between cress and grass flies in one's eyes; and, perhaps, the more probable derivation of the latter is from the root meaning to grow, rather than from that meaning to eat, unless, indeed, the two be originally identical. The A. S. forms coers and goers are almost identical. The Fr. cresson, from It. crescione, which Mr.

And now there was no one left but Liza and Mrs. Cresson of whom, for different reasons, the three little girls were equally afraid.
When I told the good Bishop we spent our summers at Cresson, very near Loretto, and often drove to Count Gallitzin's tomb, he grasped my hand and gave me his benediction. Oh, blessed man! a grand Catholic, Father Gallitzin!
You talk of being with him; don't you see how preposterous that is? Do you imagine they encourage family housekeeping in French prisons?" "Oh, come, this won't do!" The speaker was Cresson Ingle, who stepped forward, to my surprise; for he had been hovering in the background wearing an expression of thorough discomfort.
