A meeting of the society is held every year, when prizes are distributed to the authors of the best compositions in prose and verse. It somewhat resembles the annual meeting of the Eisteddfod, held for awarding prizes to the bards and composers of Wales. The following was his impromptu to the savants of Toulouse, 4th July, 1840: "Oh, bon Dieu! que de gloire! Oh, bon Dieu! que d'honneurs!

La gloire and la guerre form the eternal burden of their song as if the chief business of life were to destroy life.
I shall be in a fearful scrape with Lady Accrington, I know. Why didn't you come to the flower-show?" Thus Miss Dickenson, laying unnecessary stress on the absentees. "I had a headache," says Gwen, "and Gloire de Dijon roses always make my headaches worse.... Yes, it's very funny. Mr. Torrens and I have been boring one another half the afternoon.
