Robert started to reassure her, asserting that he had known a lady who had subsisted upon nougat during the entire but seeing the color mount into Mrs. Pontellier's face he checked himself and changed the subject. Mrs. Pontellier, though she had married a Creole, was not thoroughly at home in the society of Creoles; never before had she been thrown so intimately among them.
"It might be her letters or her picture that he puts in a book so no one will see " "It isn't that!" declared Grace with conviction. "Oh, this is a nougat!" she exclaimed in rapture, as her white teeth bit into a particularly delicious candy. "Hopeless!" sighed Betty, folding a skirt neatly. "I mean he hasn't any girl's picture, or anything like that," went on Grace.
Thus, at one dinner-party a basket formed of brown nougat was handed round. It was filled with apricots moulded in peach-tinted ice and of delicious apricot flavor. At another the basket was of white nougat, and the ice-cream was colored and moulded to represent pink and crimson roses.
He wouldn't let us go into the merry-go-rounds either, and by the time we got back to the hotel our hands full of dolls, tops, spotted wooden horses, boxes of blocks, and packets of nougat surmounted with chenille monkeys she was boiling with pent-up resentment.
And he was fond of nougat. He was fond also of chaffing Norah. And he was not prepared to forego one amusement for the other. And Norah had taken a mean advantage of him. She had timed a provocation at the moment when for any other man retort would have been impossible; and she hadn't reckoned with Jevons's ingenuity of resource. I am not going to say what he did.

"Three-hundred and sixty-five letters, and every one mushy?" cried Beverly, incredulously. "I should think it would be worse than eating a pound of nougat every day." Petty alternately moped and searched all Saturday, but, of course to no purpose.
But this is not the "sit down," elegant supper so worthy to be revived, with its courses and its etiquette and its brilliant conversation, which was the delight of our grandmothers. A large centre-piece of flowers, with fruit and candies in glass compotiers, and high forms of nougat, and other sugar devices, are suitable standards for an elegant supper-table.
One of the antique dames who cook sausages in the shadow of the cafés brought us a plate each funny little hard things and we bought cakes and nougat from perambulating Peter Piemen. The station platform was like the last scene of a pantomime. Every one we had met on our journeys rushed up and shook us by the hand. First a Belgian doctor, from Dr. Lilias Hamilton's unit in Podgoritza. He said Mrs.

Still, everything went well until the table was cleared for dessert; and there was no reason why everything shouldn't have gone well even then. Viola had guarded against his most inveterate failing a habit of stretching for things across the table by putting everything he wanted within his reach. Within Jevons's reach to-night was a little dish containing among other things chocolate nougat.
