He had supposed that he would be given a gratuity of a thousand roubles straight away; whereas, instead of 'Drink and be merry, it was 'Wait, for the time is not yet. Thus, though his head had been full of soup plates and cutlets and English girls, he now descended the steps with his ears and his tail down looking, in fact, like a poodle over which the cook has poured a bucketful of water.
Presently a very neatly-dressed and pleasant-looking young man came to him, to ask what he would have. This was the waiter; and Rollo made arrangements with him for a breakfast. He ordered fried trout, veal cutlets, fried potatoes, an omelette, coffee, and bread and honey. His father and mother, when they came to eat the breakfast, said they were perfectly satisfied with it in every respect.
"First there's the butter!" said she; "just smell if it hasn't a nice scent of nuts! It's churned especially for me, you know. Then here are the eggs.

Rogers bringing in the cutlets ended the snippet of talk. It was not the cheeriest of dinners. I took advantage of the next interval of quiet to inquire after Dale. I learned that the poor boy had almost collapsed after the election and was now yachting with young Lord Essendale somewhere about the Hebrides.
"It's 'Cutlets," muttered "Stump." "He would like to make the ship a funeral barge." We sat in silence for a while, watching the retreating form of the navigator passing forward; then Tom Le Valley, a zealous member of Number Nine gun's crew, spoke up. "Do you see those two lights twinkling over there about where the 'Dolphin' should be, fellows?" he asked. Some one yawned and nodded.
As for the ends of the flukes, have them soused, cook. There, now ye may go." But Fleece had hardly got three paces off, when he was recalled. "Cook, give me cutlets for supper to-morrow night in the mid-watch. D'ye hear? away you sail then. Halloa! stop! make a bow before you go. Avast heaving again! Whale-balls for breakfast don't forget." "Wish, by gor! whale eat him, 'stead of him eat whale.
This was a happy thought that clenched the bargain. We undertook to arrive on the following day, bringing our sheaves with us, in the shape of a supply of veal cutlets.
