"But I can't possibly affect you in that way," said Alicia, putting her cigarette down to finish, as an afterthought, a marron glace. "I'm not old and I'm not grotesque." "No, but oh, all right. After you with the matches, please." "I BEG your pardon. How thoughtless of me! Dear me, mine has gone out. Do you suppose anything is wrong with them? Perhaps they're damp."
"Because some bills came from Paris; he had overlooked them, no doubt, for he does not pay much attention to his business, they say," said Dr. Marron. "Pray leave me with M. le Cure," said the poet, with a visible change of countenance. The doctor and the miller and his wife went out of the room, and Lucien was left alone with the old priest.
She was on terms of intimacy with the colored man in a crisp linen coat who presided over the refreshments, and he invariably gave her an extra spoonful of the marron paste she preferred. When at lunch, it might be, she cared for very little, her mother would complain absently: "You must stop eating those sickening mixtures. They'd ruin any skin."
Mystery is so very attractive." Miss Townly sighed. She was emaciated, dark, and always dressed to look mysterious. "Maurice Delarey is scarcely my idea of a mystery," said Mrs. Creswick, taking joyously a marron glacé. "In my opinion he's an ordinarily intelligent but an extraordinarily handsome man. Hermione is exactly the reverse, extraordinarily intelligent and almost ugly."
Even the PARROCO could not help laughing as Keith, with irresistible good nature, seized him by the arm and thrust a MARRON GLACE between his lips. An ideal host! The "Falernian system" was in abeyance that day.

"Oh!" cried poor Eve, cut to the heart; "what can have happened now?" The cry told so unmistakably of many sorrows, of great dread on so many grounds, that the Abbe Marron made haste to say, "Reassure yourself, madame; he is living." Eve turned to the vinegrower.
Ah! here we have the higher orders of the mummers in person this comely creature is, in reality, Mariette Marron of this country, as strapping a wench as there is in Vaud, and as impudent but no matter!
Her packing done, she put on the coat of her costume over her marron crêpe-de-Chine jumper the one she had bought in the Croisette and going to the mirror adjusted her little felt hat carefully. She recalled the fact that, except for the blouse, these were the same clothes she had worn that day she first called to interview the doctor, and later had gone on for tea at the Ambassadeurs.
