"That liqueur, my dear lord," replied Mr. Graeme, "is good old cowslip mead, with a flask of Maraschino di Zara infused in it. For the rest, the dinner has been almost as imaginaire as the omelet. The greater part of the recipes are in an old English volume in my library, or perhaps some owe their origin to the fertile invention of my housekeeper. Let us style them a la Dorothee." "Capital!
Barney concocted an immense and savoury omelet, and the old trader cooked an excellent turtle-steak, while Martin prepared a junk of jaguar meat, which he roasted, being curious to taste it, as he had been told that the Indians like it very much. It was pretty good, but not equal to the turtle-eggs. The shell of the egg is leathery, and the yolk only is eaten.
A tenderloin steak and sweet omelet with French fried potatoes were being served, when suddenly the color left her face. Another lurch of the steamer sent a glass of ice water up her loose sleeve, and, utterly discomfited, she begged to be excused and rushed from the table. "Oh dear, mother, how terribly I feel; let me lie down. Oh dear! I wish I were home with father and Gertrude."
Never in my life did I have such a longing for bacon and eggs!" "Then you shall have them or an omelet garnished with bacon. And the corner grocery has some lettuce and radishes. I believe I can even achieve a salad."
"Sweets to the sweet," he said. "Silly!" But she giggled under her breath. They pushed back their chairs and strolled down the aisle between the tables. She smiled brightly to her right and left. "Good morning, Mrs. Blondheim. Is it warm enough for you?" "Good morning," replied Mrs. Blondheim, stabbing a bit of omelet with vindictive fork. Mrs. Epstein looked after the pair with warming eyes.
I know," he said, with a smile, "that that sounds very much like saying that you can make eggs into an omelet and then get the omelet back into separate eggs again" here there was an audible snicker from the boys "but that is very much like what is done by the wireless, although it doesn't exactly fit the case.
We had olives and pickles and cakes, and two dozen of those cunning little rolls from that German bakery down the street. So we really managed to get enough to eat after all. There wasn't much left except the omelet, and no one wanted that." "I don't suppose it would be of the least use to propose tea," said Grace innocently. "Well, of course, if you insist," declared Elfreda politely.
His thoughts had become so inappropriate to his purpose, his presence, here that he banished them and returned to Savina. She was notably more cheerful than when he had left her, and was engaged with an omelet, rough bread, Scotch preserved strawberries, and a bottle of Marquis de Riscal; most of which, she told him, had been sent, together with other pleasant things, by Daniel Randon.
At daylight next morning she roused us. She was dressed, except that she wore her combing-jacket, and her hair was loose round her face. "Aggie, you make an omelet in a hurry, and, Lizzie, you will have to get the horses." "I'll do nothing of the sort," I said, sitting up on the ground. "We've got a man here for that. Besides, I have to set the table."
And then you have his letter." "That is nothing, capitaine; he would eat his letter as quick as you would eat an omelet aux fines herbes." Now the capitaine was especially quick over an omelet aux fines herbes. "And, Mere Bauche, you also have the purse; he will know that he cannot eat that, except with your good will." "Ah!" exclaimed Madame Bauche, "poor lad!
