A student should also bear in mind that, from the strong Anglo-Gallic complexion of our society and manners in early days, the accounts collected by Lacroix are largely applicable to this country, and the same facilities for administering to the comfort and luxuries of the table, which he furnishes as illustrative of the gradual outgrowth from the wood fire and the pot-au-feu among his own countrymen, or certain classes of them, may be received as something like counterparts of what we possessed in England at or about the same period.
"You are right, my good friend," said Isidore; "I am afraid there is danger indeed, and at all events I will do what I can to avert it.

"Delighted to meet you again, Mr. Lacroix. Last time we were both of us in very different trim." Lady Caroom came gliding up to them, and shook hands with Sir George.
