"Yes, madam." "Ordered the flowers?" "Yes, madam." "Well, now, what have you got in for lunch?" "There's some lamb, madam." "Well that's no good I'd better tell you what I want. A heavy lunch like that is impossible. I want all dainty little dishes something out of the common, I leave it entirely to you. Four courses will be enough. And Sauterne and Burgundy.
He could not go back to his wife without having done something; so, as a first measure, he paid the bill. The landlord's eyes glittered, and he receipted it in the most becoming manner. "Should he now send up the bottle of Sauterne?" but to this Mr Palliser demurred. "And to whom should the receipted bill be given?" Mr Palliser thought that the landlord had better keep it himself for a while.
Certain wines are taken with certain dishes, by old-established custom as sherry, or sauterne, with soup and fish; hock and claret with roast meat; punch with turtle; champagne with whitebait; port with venison; port, or burgundy, with game; sparkling wines between the roast and the confectionery; madeira with sweets; port with cheese; and for dessert, port, tokay, madeira, sherry, and claret.

Champagne is the wine of Champagne, Burgundy of Burgundy, Sauterne of Sauterne, Chablis of Chablis all French wines.

I took my sauterne and sodawater in my dressing-room; and, as indisposition always makes me meditative, I thought over all I had done since my arrival at Paris.
