She sent the patients' accounts in well-phrased letters that had no suggestion of a bill. When they had a neighbor to dinner on Sundays, she managed to have some dainty dish piled up pyramids of green-gages on vine leaves, served up preserves turned out into plates and even spoke of buying finger-glasses for dessert. From all this, much consideration was extended to Bovary.
How much will you give me for pictures of special fruit which you haven't got, like apricots, green-gages, and pineapples?" "Two cents each," replied the Italian. "No," bargained Edward. "They're much harder to find than the others. I'll get you some for three cents each." "All right," said the vender, realizing that the boy was stating the case correctly.
"You have only just given your orders in time, ladies," he said; "all my green-gages are to be gathered forthwith for the English market. Ah! those English! those English! they take everything! our best fruit and the island of Cyprus!" Whereupon I ventured to rejoin that, at least if we robbed our French neighbours of their best fruit, our money found its way into the grower's pocket.

Speaking of a garden, we had an excellent orchard, which supplied us with abundance of apricots, peaches, nectarines, figs, green-gages, apples, pears, and oranges, while the garden furnished many a dish of strawberries: for gooseberries, the climate is not cold enough.
She's as jealous as green-gages of him, and while he is making love to you, on the stage, she'll be watching you from some entrance, as a cat would a mouse, and woe be to you if you make your part too real! The other lady over there is keeping company with that good-looking fellow she is talking to; so keep your eyes off him.
