How different it is from people in a town here, who go out to the country for a pic-nic! A citizen thinks the pleasure of gipseying, as they call it in England, consists solely in the abundance and variety of the viands, the quality and quantity of the wines, and as near an approach to a city dinner as it is possible to have, where there are neither tables, chairs, sideboards, nor removes.
Although it was neither Sunday nor a fête-day, there were pleasure parties gipseying under trees Parisian cockneys riding raw-boned steeds pony-chaises full of laughing grisettes dashing up and down the broad roads that pierce the wood in various directions old women selling cakes and lemonade workmen gambling with half-pence on the smooth turf by the wayside bonnes, comely and important, with their little charges playing round them, and their busy fingers plying the knitting-needles as they walked young ladies sketching trees, and prudent governesses reading novels close by; in short, all the life and variety of a favorite suburban resort on an ordinarily fine day about the beginning of autumn.
