I was strolling carelessly and solo from the cook-wagon toward one of the two tents which protestingly housed some forty huddling Americans by night holding in my hand an historic morceau de chocolat, when a spick, not to say span, gentleman in a suspiciously quiet French uniform allowed himself to be driven up to the bureau, by two neat soldiers with tin derbies, in a Renault whose painful cleanliness shamed my recent efforts.
I came off in too much haste, and, seeing it now in my writing-case, I thought it a pity that so precious a morceau should be lost to the world. Tout le monde is marrying at Philadelphia. Yes, La R., La Planche, and La Bin. may remain. I went to a wedding supper at Mrs. Moore's, whose daughter has married Willing could any one suppose she was unwilling? Execrable! Mr. Boadley died a few days ago.
Seat not yourself voluntarily at the top; but if the place properly belongs to you, or the master of the house so wills, do not offer so much resistance to its acceptance as to annoy the company. 107th. Si on lit ou deuise en table, soyez attentif, & s'il faut parler, ne parlez point auec le morceau en la bouche.
I will change my plate, however, and try some of the rabbit." There were several side-dishes on the table, containing what appeared to be the ordinary French rabbit a very delicious morceau, which I can recommend.

She had never brought herself to wear the tan silk stockings of invidious allure, and she still confined herself to her mother's plainest dressmaking, yearning secretly for the fancy kind, but never with enough daring. Lyman Teaford still came of an evening to play his flute acceptably, while Winona accompanied him in many an amorous morceau.
A fire of jokes and jeers, of saucy questions and more saucy retorts of what, in fact, in the humble and unpoetic, but expressive vernacular, is called "chaff" is kept up with a vigour which seldom flags, except now and then, when the but-end of a song, or the twanging close of a chorus, strikes the general fancy, and procures for the morceau a lusty encore.
Do not carry a morsel to your mouth, knife in hand, like the rustics. 96th. Chapter viii. 21. Il est messeant de se baisser beaucoup sur son escuelle ou sur la viande, c'est assez de s'encliner vn peu lors que l'on porte le morceau trempé
He accordingly hung over it with the most greedy appetite, feasting his nostrils with the steams of animal putrefaction; and at length declared that the morceau was passable, though he owned it would have been highly perfect, had it been kept another week.
Her intensely sexual face greeted us nearly always as we descended pour la soupe. She would come up to B. and me slenderly and ask, with the brightest and darkest eyes in the world, "Chocolat, M'sieu'?" and we would present her with a big or small, as the case might be, morceau de chocolat. We even called her Chocolat.
You're at any rate a part of his collection," she had explained "one of the things that can only be got over here. You're a rarity, an object of beauty, an object of price. You're not perhaps absolutely unique, but you're so curious and eminent that there are very few others like you you belong to a class about which everything is known.
