Ten days later he invited us again, and this time Sam Ward himself could have found no fault with the terrapin. Next afternoon, when I knew The Major was asleep, I slipped back into the kitchen and said to Louis Garnier, the chef: "Is there any of that terrapin left over from last night?"
On Saturday morning, Richardot and Garnier waited upon the envoy to escort him to the presence of the Duke.
