"Do what he bids you!" said Fil-de Soie. "You don't say so?" retorted la Pouraille, looking at his pal. "What a flat you are! You will be booked for the Abbaye!" said le Biffon. "You have no other door to budge, if you want to keep on your pins, to yam, wet your whistle, and fake to the end; you must take his orders." "That's all right," said la Pouraille.
The chef, trying to analyze this unusual article of food, lifted one of the ears from the basket and examined it. "En robe de chambre, alors, Madame!" said he, and looked dismayed at these complications. "Yes," she replied, "just like a potato en robe de chambre."
