The pearls found were not larger than a lentil or a little pea, but they had a beautiful orient, for they had been taken out while the animal was still alive. Not to be accused of exaggeration concerning the size of these shells, the Spaniards sent the King some remarkable specimens, from which the meat had been removed, at the same time as the pearls.
Then must thou fetch water in barrels and fill the four fountains; after which thou must take three hundred and threescore and six wooden platters and crumble the cracknels therein and pour of the lentil pottage over each and carry every monk and patriarch his platter. 'Take me back to the King and let him kill me, said Alaeddin; 'it were easier to me than this service. 'If thou do the service that is due from thee, replied the old woman, 'thou shalt escape death; but, if thou do it not, I will let the King kill thee. Then she went away, leaving Alaeddin heavy at heart.
"'And you saw nothing which could lead you to suspect who the woman was whom you had attended? the Colonel asked of the surgeon. "'One thing only, he replied. 'When I turned the unknown lady over, I happened to remark a mole on her arm, about half-way down, as big as a lentil, and surrounded with brown hairs. At this instant the rash speaker turned pale.
The "Chapeau Rouge" was well reported on, and there we lunched. All those tourists who will deluge Flanders after the war should go to the "Chapeau Rouge" in Hazebrouck.

All, even the beggarly lentil, are eagerly exploited; whilst the haricot, so tempting both as to size and flavour, remains untouched. It is incomprehensible. Why should the Bruchus, which without hesitation passes from the excellent to the indifferent, and from the indifferent to the excellent, disdain this particularly toothsome seed?
Naomi ate her lentil pottage and munched her cake leisurely in a quiet corner, but she had long finished her meal when Aunt Miriam was at last satisfied and ready to start. The bullock cart stood loaded with baskets piled high with great bunches of purple grapes. Over them were spread the dewy green leaves of the vine to protect the fruit from the sun and to keep it fresh and moist.
Half the diseases you young fellows suffer from are brought about by overeating." "Now, you take my advice," continued Mr. Lott; "try vegetarianism. In the morning, a little oatmeal.
