The opera of the night before will be described in a vignette the ballet in a tail-piece; and we shall know at a glance whether Cerito and Elssler performed their pas meritoriously, by the number of bouquets depicted at their feet.
If they are elected honorary members, we will turn them out any time that they don't behave themselves very well indeed. The tail-piece was Cricket's ambitious flight of fancy. She drew a long breath and sat down, amid vigorous applause. "That's very creditable, my little authorlings," said auntie, encouragingly.

"And then comes an exquisite galloping goat, a tail-piece drawn by Normand, and cut by Duplat. the names are signed," said Lousteau.
