It is considered wholesome to take a cup of Mocha after a hearty meal; but, with all due deference to Grimod de la Reynière and Brillat Savarin, coffee seems still sweeter to the taste when taken at five o'clock in the morning, after passing the night in the open air.
Savarin gently detained her hand, and looking earnestly into her tell-tale face, divined her secret. "It is your own, Signorina! Accept the congratulations of a very practised and somewhat fastidious critic. If the rest of what you write resembles this sentence, contribute to Rameau's journal, and I answer for its success." Rameau approached, half incredulous, half envious.
Among the guests were some of the most eminent leaders of the Opposition, including that vivacious master of sharp sayings, M. P , whom Savarin entitled "the French Sheridan;" if laws could be framed in epigrams he would be also the French Solon. There, too, was Victor de Mauleon, regarded by the Republican party with equal admiration and distrust.
Paris is an irresistible magnet to les beaux esprits. A propos of beaux esprits, be sure to leave orders with your bookseller, if you have one, to enter your name as subscriber to a new journal." "Certainly, if Monsieur Savarin recommends it." "He recommends it as a matter of course; he writes in it," said Rameau. "A sufficient guarantee for its excellence. What is the name of the journal?"
Gustave, who was far from deficient in affectionate or tender impulses, took the hand respectfully, and pressed it warmly. "Forgive me if I have been ungracious, M.

"But," interposed the Marquis, "he did not ascertain who she was; he only ascertained where she lived, and that she and an elder companion were Italians; whom he suspected, without sufficient ground, to be professional singers." "True; but since then I ascertained more detailed particulars from two acquaintances of mine who happen to know her, M. Savarin, the distinguished writer, and Mrs.

Do you think you can induce her to transplant herself to the new social system, which I presume will abolish, among other obsolete myths, the institution of marriage?" "M.
