Carrier saw this with his own eyes, and whilst the executioner, horrified at himself, died a few days after in consequence of what he had done, Carrier put another in his place, began again and continued operations. Durand-Maillane, "Memoires," 183. Vatel, "Charlotte Corday et les Girondins," II., 269.
The cooking is not like ours, however, unless Delmonico's skill be supposed to have extended to all the homes in Manhattan Island, which is, unfortunately, not the case. What an admirable product of French genius is the art of cooking! Of incalculable value have been the culinary teachings of Vatel and his followers.
"Loret drinks cider at my house!" cried Fouquet, laughing. "Certainly he does, monsieur, and that is the reason why he dines there with pleasure." "Vatel," cried Fouquet, pressing the hand of his maitre d'hotel, "you are a man!
It has been remarked by M. Crusal in a bullock attacked with gastro-enteritis. This disease, according to M. Vatel, is generally the symptom of a chronic malady, or the instantaneous effect of an excessive hemorrhage. It is rarely primary.
He slept in the open air or in his bed with stoical indifference. At any increased labor or discomfort, he merely remarked, "It seems to be the order of the day."

We want so much to see Villandry and Ussé, and we would love to have a day at Mme. de Sévigné's, Les Rochers, or better still at Chantilly, where poor Vatel, the cook, through the letters of la belle Marquise and the failure of the fish supply, took his place one summer day among the immortals.
Just then Charles, the groom, appeared at the gate of the Grand-I-Vert. "What is the matter, Vatel?" he said. "Ah!" said the keeper, wiping his eyes, which he had plunged wide open into the rivulet to give them a final cleansing. "I have some debtors in there that I'll cause to rue the day they saw the light."
I gave my Lord Herbert's compliments to the statue of his friend the Constable; and, waiting some time for the concierge, I called out, Où est Vatel?
