I can get mutton at home; or 'What infernal impertinence it is of the Spooners to get ENTREES from the pastrycook's, and fancy that I am to be deceived with their stories about their French cook! Then, again, there is Jack Puddington I saw that honest fellow t'other day quite in a rage, because, as chance would have it, Sir John Carver asked him to meet the very same party he had met at Colonel Cramley's the day before, and he had not got up a new set of stories to entertain them.
And, above all," she added in his ear, "bring her the most beautiful bouquet to be had in Paris. It is winter, so try to get tropical flowers." The Baron went downstairs and told his servants to go to "Montame Thomas." The coachman drove to a famous pastrycook's.
'At the pastrycook's stall, answered Geoffrey; 'and I must go back again before I can buy any thing. I left my five shillings there to be changed.

"A little bit of private business," he said, and marched onwards with his head towards the Close. "I'm not going to be afraid of a woman not if I know it," he said to himself; but, nevertheless, at a certain pastrycook's, of whose shop he had knowledge, he pulled up and had another glass of cherry-brandy. "Mrs Greenow is at home," he said to Jeannette, not deigning to ask any question.
They had in fact taken seats at a table of mutton pies in a pastrycook's shop, where dashing military men were restrained solely by their presence from a too noisy display of fascinations before the fashionable waiting-women. Rosamund looked at Miss Denham.
At length he withdrew his eyes, and reading the name "Oriel Street" on an angle of the wall above him, passed down a narrow by-lane in search of further wonders.
