That was another Parisian piece of impudence, above all in one who showed such ridiculous airs as to wipe her face with her own handkerchief instead of the table-cloth, and to be reluctant to help herself from the genera dish of potage with her own spoon.
You should never put in fresh water. And if you should through the consuming of the water by long boiling, it must be boiling hot. The less broth remains, the better is the Potage, were it but a Porrenger full, so that it would be stiff gelly when it is cold.
A woman is the best dictionary." "You mean, I suppose," said Flare, "a wife for a time." Little Suzette was looking oddly at him as he faced her, and when Ralph blushed she turned quietly to her potage and gave him a chance to remark her. She had dark, smooth hair, closing over a full, pale forehead, and her shapely head was balanced upon a fair, round neck.
So it was small marvel that, when at last she left her chair to "tortoise" upstairs, her complexion should be two shades darker than when she descended. Five dishes, irrespective of hors d'oeuvres at luncheon, and potage at dinner, were allowed each guest, and Madame's selection was an affair of time.
It was all covered with such devices as Potage la Mariposa Filet Mignon a la proprietaire Cotellete a la Smith, and so on. But the greatest thing about the caff were the prices. Therein lay, as everybody saw at once, the hopeless simplicity of Mr. Smith. The prices stood fast at 25 cents a meal. You could come in and eat all they had in the caff for a quarter. "No, sir," Mr.
Did I ever mention that fellow's soup to you before, Hugh?" "Often, sir. I have tasted very excellent clam-soup, however, that he never saw. Of course you mean soup just flavoured by the little hard-clam none of your vulgar potage
Against noon we had a coach ready for us, and she and I to White Hall, where I went to see whether Sir G. Carteret was at dinner or no, our design being to make a visit there, and I found them set down, which troubled me, for I would not then go up, but back to the coach to my wife, and she and I homeward again, and in our way bethought ourselves of going alone, she and I, to go to a French house to dinner, and so enquired out Monsieur Robins, my perriwigg-maker, who keeps an ordinary, and in an ugly street in Covent Garden, did find him at the door, and so we in; and in a moment almost had the table covered, and clean glasses, and all in the French manner, and a mess of potage first, and then a couple of pigeons a la esterve, and then a piece of boeuf-a-la-mode, all exceeding well seasoned, and to our great liking; at least it would have been anywhere else but in this bad street, and in a perriwigg-maker's house; but to see the pleasant and ready attendance that we had, and all things so desirous to please, and ingenious in the people, did take me mightily.
Next he proposed either a potage madrilene or a creme de volaille, Marie Louise. Kedzie chose the latter because it was the latter. She mumbled: "I think a little cremmy vly Marie Louisa would be nice." She was amazed to find later how much it tasted like chicken soup. "We don't want any fish, do we?" Ferriday moaned. "Or do we?
Russelton immediately helped him to some scalding soup and said, as he told the servant to hand Sir Willoughby the cayenne "you will find this, my dear Townshend, a very sensible potage for this severe season." Dinner went off tamely enough, with the exception of "our stout friend's" agony, which Russelton enjoyed most luxuriously.
It is by no means uncommon to see many of them begin their dinner by swallowing six or seven dozen of oysters and a bottle of white wine, by way of laying a foundation for a potage en tortue and eight or ten other rich dishes. Such are the modern parvenus, whose craving appetites, in eating and drinking, as in every thing else, are not easily satiated.
