"That's lucky, for I don't know a dozen words of Arab, and even my friend Caird can't be eloquent in it. Wings, do you think you could work up the boy to a wild desire for a tour in a motor-car?" "I would bet on myself to do that. I could make him a motor fiend, between the hors d'oeuvres and fruit." "Our great stumbling block, then, is the uncle.
Madame and her two daughters are going to sit next to you, and opposite there will be monsieur, and I judge the fiance of one of the young ladies. It will be a family party. If there is anything in that dish of hors d'oeuvres which you fancy particularly, help yourself quickly. In a moment or two there will be no opportunity."
Everybody except the Chauffeulier had been at table for a quarter of an hour, and hors d'oeuvres and soup, and fish, had given place to beef, when Maida came in, dressed in white, and looking beautiful. As she appeared at one door Mr. Barrymore appeared at another, and was just in time to pull out her chair instead of letting the waiter do it.
Yes; we may pass the heavenly screen, But shall we know when we are there? Who know not what these dead stones mean, The lovely city of Lierre." Here the train stopped abruptly. And from Mechlin church steeple we heard the half-chime: and Joris broke silence with "No bally HORS D'OEUVRES for me: I shall get on to something solid at once." L'Envoy
The Duke of Falvertoon was one of those human hors d'oeuvres that stimulate the public appetite for sensation without giving it much to feed on.

She was too gay, too insolent. What Donovan thought he could not say, but he almost hated him for the ease with which he kept pace with their companions. They ordered dinner, and the great dish of hors d'oeuvres was brought round by a waiter who seemed to preside over it with a fatherly solicitude.
"Bird of beauty, whose bright plumage Sparkles with a thousand dyes: Bright thine eyes, and gay thy carol, Though stern winter rules the skies!" Do you say that is not very grand poetry? I protest! friend, I think it superior to the chef d'oeuvres of the masters? You do not think so?
Le Tire-botte a l'Odalisque. Six Entrees. Saute de Hannetons a l'Epingliere. Cotelettes a la Megatherium. Bourrasque de Veau a la Palsambleu. Laitances de Carpe en goguette a la Reine Pomare. Turban de Volaille a l'Archeveque de Cantorbery." And so on with the entremets, and hors d'oeuvres, and the rotis, and the releves. "Madame will see that the dinners are quite simple," said M. Cavalcadour.
"I never felt more like it myself," he agreed. "The Pommery, George, slightly iced, an aperitif now, and the dinner can take its course. We will linger over the hors d'oeuvres and we are in no hurry." George departed and Tallente smiled across at his companion. It was a wonderful moment, this.
