A region of innumerable market gardens that are principally laid out in long, narrow beds, lost into nothingness as they dwindle down in the dim vista of perspective, and which are planted with curly endive, piquante- looking lettuces, and early cabbages; squat rows of gooseberry bushes and currant trees, with a rose set here and there in between; and sweet- smelling, besides, of hidden violets and honeysuckles, and the pink and white hawthorn of the hedges in May:
"Oh, I don't deny that there is just enough to be said in favour of all these things to make them sell and this one has two unusual points of interest. It opens with a riddle, and the lady's lover is a priest, which gives an additional zest to the charm of wrong-doing, a sauce piquante for jaded appetites." "Why do you call the opening verses a riddle?" said Charlie Lloyd.
I will explain it to you better by-and-bye, Sister, I said, and indeed" Hortense concluded, gesticulating prettily with both her slender hands, "it was not your fault, as Sister Andre agreed with me when I told her of it after." Her eyes sparkled with a piquante brightness as she finished her interesting little story.
Bonivard is not a hero; he is not made to obey or to command; he is an artist, a kind of poet, who treats high matters of theology in a humorous spirit; prompt of repartee, gifted with happy dash; his irony has lively point, and he likes to season the counsels of wisdom with sauce piquante and rustic bonhomie.... He prepares the way for Calvin, while having nothing of the Calvinist; he is gay, he is jovial; he has, even when he censures, I know not what air of gentleness that wins your heart."
'Gato piquante' they call it, which means savory cat. I've never tasted it, but I know those who have, and they say that it makes the finest kind of stew." "Why not?" commented Drew, with a grin. "Catfish is good. So is catsup. Why not cat stew?" "I think you men are just horrid!" exclaimed Ruth. "Taking away poor Wah Lee's character like this behind his back."
Then suddenly she saw emerge from a little group at the steps of a car a child in a long dress so it seemed to her, the being was so small and delicate and come forward, having hastily said good-bye to her fellow- passengers. As the Young Doctor said afterwards, "She wasn't bigger than a fly," and she certainly was as graceful and pretty and piquante as a child-woman could be.
The painted lady had a wonderfully attractive face, the face of a child, piquante, smiling and provocative, her eyes were witching blue, with a moonlight halo of grey between the black pupil and the azure iris, her mouth, a trifle large, but pouting in the centre and curved in the 'Cupid's bow' line, suggested sweetness and passion, and her hair, but surely her hair was indescribable!
The new century was not long in, the Regent Philip of Orléans had not long been in power, before France showed that Versailles had ceased to control her literature. A new Rabelais with an 18th century lisp, Montesquieu, by seasoning his Lettres Persanes with a sauce piquante compounded of indecency and style, succeeded in making the public swallow some incendiary morsels.
To make Piquante sauce, chop a shallot fine, put it, with a tablespoonful of vinegar, into a very small saucepan; let them stew together until the vinegar is entirely absorbed, but do not let it burn.
I was still dressed in the clothes that I had worn when was it? last week? when I had started for the Shaker meeting. "How long?" I said feebly. "Only this morning, you darling boy, it all happened; and here we are, snug at Mrs. Splinter's, and Mary Jane is getting the cottage ready for us as fast as ever she can." How good that beef-tea was! Bessie knew well what would give it the sauce piquante.
