But the little fellow loved only cake and refused all other nourishment; and the father, in despair, stuffed him with cream-puffs and chocolate eclairs. One evening, as they were sitting down to supper, Celeste brought on the soup with an air of authority and an assurance which she did not usually have.
"Elsie Taylor had already eaten six eclairs when I requisitioned her box for the picnic," said Constance Howard. "It's lucky we're going tomorrow, or there wouldn't be much left to eat." Betty and Bobby each had a box from Mrs. Littell, who sent packages of sensible goodies regularly to her girls in turn. "I hope the sandwiches will keep fresh enough," worried Betty.
"Can you see the price on the butter?" "Twenty-four...." "What?" "I can't see. Yes.... Twenty-four francs a pound." "Good heavens!" "Ah, is it possible, eclairs?" "Eclairs!" And with exclamations of awe they saw the cake shops in the Serpenoise. German boys cried "American girls! American girls!" and threw paper balls into the back of the ambulance. "I heard, I heard...." "What is it?"
After a regal repast of soup and sandwiches, ice cream and chocolate éclairs, the two set out for the river side. The Hillton crew had come down the day before with their new shell, and had spent the night at the only hotel in the village.

"Ho, Evelyn!" It ain't any smooth, ladylike tone he uses, either. A couple of stout female parties, that's been toyin' with lobster Newburg patties and chocolate éclairs and gooseberry tarts, stops their gossipin' and glares round at him indignant. "Evelyn, I say!" he goes on, fairly roarin' it out. At that out comes Sister from behind her little coop lookin' panicky.
"'Not further than bread and milk' I urged, 'and it is surely not half as good for your complexion. "'Oh, but the other ladies would laugh at me well if they saw me eating bread and milk for my luncheon. I think myself a bit of something light and nice, like eclairs or a charlotte russe, is ever so much more ladylike and nice. "Heaven save the mark!
He was not a man who cared for gaiety, but should the Lorraines be insufficiently amused he gave them balls insufficiently fed, he sent for flour and sugar; all the flour and sugar that France could spare; more, much more, than Paris had, and at his bidding the cake-shops flowered with eclairs, millefeuilles, brioches, choux a la creme, and cakes more marvellous with German names.
In the middle of the table stood a large square pan of glass, in which floated a mass of waterlilies, pink and white; and winding in and out among the little dishes of crystallized fruits, éclairs, apricots, and hot-house grapes, was a continuous curving wreath of pansies of every color.
