We found a pleasant young French tourist with his blue-bloused guide eating omelettes in the salle-a-manger. Soon the master of the house came up a young man of perhaps twenty-five as well favoured as his wife, and much neater in appearance.
Making a New Home Carriere's Kitchen The Navvies' Salle-a-Manger A Curious Milking Custom Insect Plagues Peterboro' Canoes Fishing Trips Mail-day Indian dread of drowning The Indian Mail-carrier and his Partner Talking by Telegraph Prairie Fires. A detailed account of how we spent the next few weeks would be of little interest, so I will only give it in outline.
When all was still in the house; when dinner was over and the noisy recreation-hour past; when darkness had set in, and the quiet lamp of study was lit in the refectory; when the externes were gone home, the clashing door and clamorous bell hushed for the evening; when Madame was safely settled in the salle-a-manger in company with her mother and some friends; I then glided to the kitchen, begged a bougie for one half-hour for a particular occasion, found acceptance of my petition at the hands of my friend Goton, who answered, "Mais certainement, chou-chou, vous en aurez deux, si vous voulez;" and, light in hand, I mounted noiseless to the dormitory.
The keen air had given her an appetite. The salle-a-manger was large and shady, and was filled with small tables, at only three of which were people sitting. Four French officers sat together at one.
Cutler and I then were the last on the field; and though we were for moving away, Berry, whose vigour had, if possible, been excited by the bustle and colloquy in the night air, insisted upon dragging us back again, and actually proposed a grill for supper! We found in the salle-a-manger a strong smell of an extinguished lamp, and Mrs. Berry was snuffing out the candles on the sideboard.
His air gave place to importance, and, as he leaned against the white pillar of the arcade, folded his ample burnous round him, and glanced up at the sky he saw, in fancy, a five-franc piece glittering in the chariot of the moon. The priest did not come to dinner that night, but Androvsky was already at his table when Domini came into the salle-a-manger.
Halifax never bears malice against any one. Was this the reason of your visit, Lady Caroline?" "Eh mon Dieu! what would become of us if we were all as straightforward as you, Mistress Ursula? But it sounds charming in the country. No, my dear; I came nay, I hardly know why. Probably, because I liked to come my usual reason for most actions. Is that your salle-a-manger?
"I sha'n't go down to the salle-a-manger to-night. Tell them to give me some dinner in my salon." "Yes, Mademoiselle." "You did not see who was on the verandah just now?" The maid looked surprised. "I was in Mademoiselle's room." "Yes. How near the church is." "Mademoiselle will have no difficulty in getting to Mass. She will not be obliged to go among all the Arabs." Domini smiled.
While she changed her gown for dinner that night she debated within herself how she would treat her fellow-guest when she met him in the salle-a-manger. She ought to cut him after what had occurred, she supposed. Then it seemed to her that to do so would be undignified, and would give him the impression that he had the power to offend her. She resolved to bow to him if they met face to face.
He had also brought them a cup of cafe-au-lait, informing them that breakfast would be ready as soon as they were dressed in the salle-a-manger. They found an abundant meal spread out, as Francois had promised. The old lady and her daughters welcomed them kindly the latter with wreathed smiles, the elder with a host of questions to which she did not wait for a reply.
