The "dear doctor" is all the more kindly welcomed that health is the most precious of boons; and thus they are always waited for with impatience and received with eagerness. Some are kind to them from hope, others from gratitude. They are fed like pet pigeons. They let things take their course, and in six months the habit is confirmed, and they are gourmands past redemption.
Now the only way that a sailor, after preparing his dunderfunk, could get it cooked on board the Neversink, was by slily going to Old Coffee, the ship's cook, and bribing him to put it into his oven. And as some such dishes or other are well known to be all the time in the oven, a set of unprincipled gourmands are constantly on the look-out for the chance of stealing them.
This is no small distinction in the almanac des gourmands, as there is no article in which it is so difficult to hit the critical taste of a Provençal. I have seen them often make hideous faces at the twang of oil which a Spaniard would abuse, and an Englishman admire, for its tastelessness.
And he would go marketing with the brown woman, who had become so practical, and they became critical together, and the gourmands, wise old men about town, whom he brought, occasionally, to dine with him, began to wonder how it was that they found such perfection at a private table.
"Indeed!" thought Porthos, casting a glance at the three hungry clerks for the errand boy, as might be expected, was not admitted to the honors of the magisterial table, "in my cousin's place, I would not keep such gourmands! They look like shipwrecked sailors who have not eaten for six weeks." M. Coquenard entered, pushed along upon his armchair with casters by Mme.
Although every precaution was taken to save the animal, he was stolen that same night, and gratified the palates of the African gourmands.
They sat down to it, therefore, not indeed in the most orderly manner, but with countenances which would not have disgraced a party of aldermen at a civic feast; and having satisfied their appetites with fewer complaints than would have probably escaped their rival gourmands, and partaken pretty freely of the wines, they finished by setting fire to the house which had so liberally entertained them.
"Excess is the vice rather of adults than of the young, who are rarely either gourmands or epicures, unless through the fault of those who rear them." This system of restriction which many parents think so necessary, is based upon inadequate observation, and erroneous reasoning.
Going further in the search, we find that the smooth, glittering lining, upon which the fish moves, is known as the nacre, and that it is produced by a portion of the animal called the mantle; and, for explanation's sake, we may add that gourmands practically know the mantle as the beard of the oyster.
You won't like her freeze her out." "All righty. Say Billy dear has you any choclums?" "Not for little gourmands," he took her in his arms. "I say, Warbie, you promised to cut out sweets. Look here." He led her to the picture gallery where his simpering or frowning ancestors looked down in painted disapproval. They were all slender wasp-waisted ladies, long lean men. Not a fatty in the bunch.
