Bouvard smoked his pipe, loved cheese, regularly took his half-glass of brandy. Pécuchet snuffed, at dessert ate only preserves, and soaked a piece of sugar in his coffee. One was self-confident, flighty, generous; the other prudent, thoughtful, and thrifty. In order to please him, Bouvard desired to introduce Pécuchet to Barberou.
Milsom went straight to the little half-glass door which served both as door and window for the small sleeping-chamber of Stephen Plumpton.

Taking the Recorder, she handed it to him, and, returning to her seat, reopened the Chronicle.
