"'Pon my soul, madam, they are delicious. Bless me! It is worth crossing the Atlantic to eat one. Try one, my lord, and then you can torment the Macaronies by telling them they don't know anything about fine eating," said Dapper, after gulping it down. Lord Upperton ate one, smacked his lips, and testified his enjoyment by clearing his plate.
"In the World of Fashion, sir, there are no gentlemen left," his hearer broke in. "How, sir ?" "I say no, sir, no one. I say, damme, sir " "But, sir " "I say there are no gentlemen in the fashionable world they are all blackguardly Bucks, cursed Corinthians, and mincing Macaronies nowadays, sir. Fashionable world bah, sir!" "But, sir, is not the Prince himself " "The Prince, sir!"
Were he, to choose, a wench out of the King's passengers I'd warrant our macaronies to compose odes to her eyebrows." And at that moment perceiving me she added, "Why so disconsolate, my dear nephew? Miss Dolly is the craze now, and will last about as long as another of the doctor's whims. And then you shall have her to yourself." "A pretty woman is ever the fashion, Aunt Caroline," I said.

You see that more eyes than mine are upon you. You have proved yourself a man, Richard, and there are very few macaronies would have done as you did.
The scenes were very fine, the boxes carved and gilded in excellent good taste, and both pit and gallery commodious. And we, too, had our "Fops' Alley," where our macaronies ogled the fair and passed from box to box.
