Menu: two dozen oysters from Ostend, a bottle of champagne frappe, three slices of roast beef, a truffle salad, coffee and a chaser. Religion and the stomach sustain Cruchard. I confess that I should have liked to make some money, but as my fall involves neither art nor sentiment I am profoundly unconcerned. I tell myself: "well, it's over!" and I experience a feeling of freedom.
Where had my eyes been to attach myself to truffle nose, to this old hulk that no longer knows his way? I give my share to the devil of this juiceless beard, of this grey beard, of this monkey face, of these old tatters, of this old rag of a man, of this I know not what; and I'll take a young husband who'll marry me properly, and . . . and often every day and well "

At a luncheon only six persons. 1 box of granulated gelatin 1 teaspoonful of beef extract 1 small onion 1 bay leaf 1 blade of mace 1 truffle 1 carrot 1 green pepper 1 red pepper 1 lemon 1 tureen of foie-gras
But the virtue of them was to help conception, being laid under the genial bed. That the women were wont to apply it at this day, out of an opinion of its prolific virtue." Some writers have supposed the Dudaïm to be neither more nor less than the truffle.
Add the juice of the lemon and the whites of two eggs, slightly beaten. Bring to boiling point, boil rapidly for five minutes, and strain through two thicknesses of cheese cloth. Cut the peppers into fancy shapes. Chop the truffle fine.

Is it really an odour such as we perceive and understand? I cannot bring myself to believe it. The dog finds the truffle by smelling the earth quite close to the tuber; but he finds his master at great distances by following his footsteps, which he recognises by their scent. Yet can he find the truffle at a hundred yards? or his master, in the complete absence of a trail? No.
Sieppe the hiccoughs. There were a dozen bottles of beer, and, last of all, a crowning achievement, a marvellous Gotha truffle. After lunch came tobacco. Stuffed to the eyes, McTeague drowsed over his pipe, prone on his back in the sun, while Trina, Mrs. Sieppe, and Selina washed the dishes. In the afternoon Mr. Sieppe disappeared. They heard the reports of his rifle on the range.
Perhaps it was made with an object in view, but certainly it was not meant to bring forth the storm of protest that came from Emma McChesney's lips. She turned on him, lips quivering, eyes wrathful. "You shouldn't have come!" she cried. "You're as much out of place in a six-room flat as a truffle would be in a boiled New England dinner. Do you think I don't see its shortcomings?
The truffle-dog is in the same case; he searches with his nose to the ground. The true truffle, however, the essential object of his search, possesses a fairly vivid odour. But what are we to say of the Great Peacock moth and the Oak Eggar, both of which find their captive female? They come from the confines of the horizon. What do they perceive at that distance?
The pheasant stuffed with snails and the truffle sauce with it seemed delicious to the sovereign, who called the dish a triumph of the culinary art of the Netherlands. The burden of anxieties and the pangs inflicted by the gout seemed to be forgotten, and when the orchestra ceased he asked to hear the boy choir again.
