During extremely hot weather, or to an author reading his production, you may offer a glass of sirup, or eau sucrée, or if a lady becomes faint, some fleur d'orange and water; but it is provincial to propose anything else; and, indeed, the French never eat between meals, or in any rank above the very lowest will one be seen to partake of anything in the street, fruit or cake, or even give them to their children, it being considered quite mob-manners to do so.
"My experiments have not succeeded," he said one day, while we were sitting with him at the cafe near the Hotel des Reservoirs; "but that is not my fault. I need an absolutely pure-minded child, and can find none here, for this French race is corrupt from its very infancy." He was fasting at this time, taking apparently nothing but a little eau sucree for several days at a stretch.
"Excuse me," said she to Raynal, "I only came to ask Josephine if she wants anything." "No! yes! a glass of eau sucree." Rose mixed it for her. While doing this she noticed that Josephine shunned her eye, but Raynal gazed gently and with an air of pity on her. She retired slowly into Josephine's bedroom, but did not quite close the door.
The members sat upon red-velvet chairs, each girt with his red scarf of office, trimmed with heavy bullion fringe. The chairs were placed round a long table, on which was stationery for the members' use, carafes of water, and sugar for eau sucrée.
How do you explain it?" Or, very likely "I am just about to ring for a glass of eau sucree; will you have some at the same time?" Or, "I am going to take a ride to-morrow; I am going over to see my father-in-law." These short observations did not permit of discussion; a "Yes" or "No," extracted from his interlocutor, the conversation dropped dead.
Like the English woman when she made her first acquaintance with terrapin, the most that Miss Cassandra could be induced to say was that the eau des fleurs d'oranges sucrée was not so very bad. The English dame, of course, said "it is not so very nasty"; but we have not become sufficiently Anglicized to say "nasty" in company.
Are you not in the habit, madam, of taking every evening <eau sucree> mixed with a large proportion of orange- flower water?" "I am," replied I.
'Ah! my child, said Papa Prevost, 'is it you? You see me a prisoner; Eugenie has told you; a dinner at a merchant's; dressed in a draught; everything spoiled, and I and sighing, Papa Prevost sipped his eau sucrée. 'We have all our troubles, said Leander, in a consoling tone; 'but we will not speak now of vexations.
Bridget has become a thought, and serves us a great deal faster than the sticky lightning of the submarine par vagum, as the Professor calls it. Pepper for Kansas, Bridget. A sandwich for Cincinnati. Rolls and sardines for Washington. A bit of the Cape Ann turkey for Boston. South Carolina prefers dark meat. Fifty thousand glasses of eau sucrée at once, and the rest simultaneously.
He had a shock-head of bright red hair such as might have thatched the poll of the "Dougal cratur;" his cheek-bones were high, his nose of the Captain of Knockdunder pattern, and his mouth of true Celtic amplitude. One felt instinctively as if Macfarlane were bound to know Gaelic, and that the times were out of joint when he evinced greater fondness for eau sucree than for Talisker.
