"Ah, my dear Harry, how little do you know of life; there is a kind of man whose appetite for the marvellous is such, that he must be crammed with miracles or he dies of inanition, and you might as well attempt to feed a tiger upon pate de foie gras, as satisfy him by mere naked unvarnished truth.
This did not serve to remove the impression of shiftiness, for her answers were seldom to the point. Wasn't it true, she was asked, that in Locmine she had been followed and insulted with cries: ``C'est la femme au foie blanc; elle porte la mort avec elle!? Nobody had ever said anything of the sort to her, was her sullen answer. A useless denial.
I went on telling him about our hydroponic farms, and the carniculture plant where any kind of animal tissue we wanted was grown Terran pork and beef and poultry, Freyan zhoumy meat, Zarathustran veldtbeest.... He knew, already, that none of the native life-forms, animal or vegetable, were edible by Terrans. "You can get all the paté de foie gras you want here," I said.
At this point dinner was announced, and she invited me to stay quite insisted, in fact, to make up, she said, for the one I had missed when I was ill in the infirmary." Patty looked around the table with a reminiscent smile. "What did you say? Did you refuse?" asked Lucille. "No; I accepted, and am over there at present, eating pâté de foie gras." "No, really, Patty; what did you say?"
So in any other part of the earth. Everything metallic turns up here sooner or later; and when you consider that thousands of vessels go down every year, vessels which are provisioned with tinned foods only, you will begin to comprehend how many millions of pounds of preserved salmon, sardines, pate de foie gras, peaches, and so on, can be found strewn along its coast."
The ladies among us wore hats and cloaks and head-dresses obtained by wholesale massacres, ruthless trappings, callous extermination of our fellow creatures. We insisted on our butchers supplying us with white veal, and were large and constant consumers of pate de foie gras; both comestibles being obtained by revolting methods.
A grand affair of a ball the Pioneers' came off at the Occidental some time ago. The following notes of the costumes worn by the belles of the occasion may not be uninteresting to the general reader, and Jerkins may get an idea therefrom: Mrs. W. M. was attired in an elegant 'pate de foie gras, made expressly for her, and was greatly admired. Miss S. had her hair done up.
It was lucky that some tins of fine preserves were stowed in a locker in my stateroom; hard bread I could always get hold of; and so he lived on stewed chicken, Pate de Foie Gras, asparagus, cooked oysters, sardines on all sorts of abominable sham delicacies out of tins. My early-morning coffee he always drank; and it was all I dared do for him in that respect.
The succulent dishes, the pate de foie gras, the whole of this elegant entertainment, would have made the author of the Glutton's Almanac neigh with impatience: it would make a note-shaver smile, and tell a professor of the old University what the matter in hand is. Everything is prepared. Caroline has been ready since the night before: she contemplates her work.
The foie gras suggested delicacy of living, the chemise immorality, the bottle of scent refinement of taste; the bracelet she could make nothing of. Prosaic and vulgar as were all these articles, in the dressmaker's imagination they became both poetized and purified.
