My advice is to stay some days at Melun, where they make excellent eel-pies. What do you say, M. Chicot?" "I say, that my opinion is to go as fast as possible; not to lunch at Melun, but only to sup at Monterau, to make up for lost time." Gorenflot looked at his companion as if he did not understand. "Come, let us get on," said Chicot. The monk sat still and groaned.
"Here; look over this door and read." Gorenflot looked up, and saw, "Here eggs, ham, eel-pies, and white wine may be had!" At this sight, Gorenflot's whole face expanded with joy. "Now," said Chicot, "go and get your breakfast, while I go and look for an ass for you." What made Chicot so indifferent to his own repast was, that he had already breakfasted plentifully.
"You'd call it a game if you had to hand out forty shillings, or take a week," replied Doubleday. "A nice expensive game this of yours, Master Batchelor. It'll cost you more than all your eel-pies, and lobsters, and flash toggery put together." Fancy, reader, my amazement and horror at all this! It might be a joke to all the rest, but it was anything but a joke to me.

Well, when you men lords of the creation, as you call yourselves do get together to make up a company, or anything of the sort is there any story-book can come up to you?
Psi-ning and Mr. Ying-chau, visiting the temple in which the treaties had been signed, and several others, and then walked through the street of "Everlasting Prosperity," as the Chinese gentlemen explained it. The prosperity seemed to consist mainly in the sale of eel-pies with baked potatoes, the former kept hot at a small charcoal fire.
