Nor was I the only person in the house to whom the worthy gentleman was uncivil. He ordered the fair Lischen hither and thither, made impertinent love to her, abused her soups, quarrelled with her omelettes, and grudged the money which was laid out for his maintenance; so that our hostess detested him as much as, I think, without vanity, she regarded me.
"And those syrups of fruit, the strawberry, the greengage! And the omelettes of Jeanne, 'Jeanne la Grande," he flung forth his arms to indicate the breadth of the cook. "And the evenings of moonlight, when we wandered between the passion-flowers!" He blew a kiss. "Shall I forget them? Never!" Madame Sennier was evidently quite undisturbed. "You've given him a good time," she observed.
Of course it's going to be costly, but you can't have omelettes without breaking eggs. An old proverb, me boys but a true one." "More than true, Sir John," remarked Vane quietly. "And one that from time immemorial has proved an immense comfort to the egg." He went on up to his room. It was too early yet to start for Blandford, but Vane was in no mood for his own thoughts.
Her home is one of good wine, excellent omelettes, soft beds; and the sheets, if they are a little coarse, are spotless, and retain an odour of lavender-sweetened cupboards. Her little child, about four years old, is with his mother in the garden; he has strayed into the foreground of the picture, just in front of the wash-tub, and he holds a great sunflower in his tiny hand.
Fortified by these, and armed with the boat-hook, which he had suddenly seized, he struck down the precocious chicks one after another, and put an end to their aspiring flights by laying them lifeless upon the sand. In the end it was neither eggs nor omelettes, but tender, delicate "squabs" the castaways had for their prandial repast.
He conceived Helen Rathbone as an extraordinary, an amazing creature. Nothing of the kind. There are simply thousands of agreeable and good girls who can accomplish herring-bone, omelettes, and simultaneous equations in a breath, as it were.
There are two excellent trains; either will do, if you have decided to spend three days at Armance." She asked me if Armance were a village or a town, and I answered, "What matter?" for everywhere in France there are good beds and good food and good wine ay, and omelettes. We should do very well in any village in the south of France for three days.
Perhaps also they were a little afraid of the cat, whose great green eyes were always shining upon them like two round lamps, and never lost sight of them for one moment. All the farmers' wives arrived in turn, with baskets of eggs upon their heads. They did not load their donkeys with them, for fear that in jogging along they would become omelettes on the way.
It is not surprising that the shop at Poperinghe was always crowded by four in the afternoon in those old days before the second battle of Ypres. As patiently as might be, Baker and I waited, lynx-eyed, until two chairs were vacated. "Mademoiselle," we called, "deux omelettes, s'il vous plait." "Bien, messieurs, tout de suite."
Mourn for the younglings of the grouse; lament unceasingly, As, for the omelettes and the fowls browned in the pan, do I. How my heart yearneth for the fish, that in its different kinds, Upon a paste of wheaten flour lay hidden in the pie! Praised be God for the roast meat! As in the dish it lay, With pot-herbs, soaked in vinegar, in porringers hard by!
