A widow of the same town offered her house room. The widow died, having eaten soup of Helene's preparing. On the day following the Widow Lorey's death her niece, Veuve Cadic, arrived. The grief-stricken Helene threw herself into the niece's arms. ``My poor girl! exclaimed the Veuve Cadic.
I would be happier with Beatrice if only she had the means to satisfy my trifling wants." He turned to the waiter and ordered a pint of champagne. "Veuve Clicquot '99," he instructed the man. "At my age," he remarked, with a sigh, "one has to be careful about these little matters. The wrong brand of champagne means a sleepless night." Tavernake looked at him in a puzzled way.
Payment for the turtle and the bottles of Old Veuve was performed apart with Benjamin, while Simeon Fenellan strolled out of the house, questioning a tumbled mind as to what description of suitable entertainment, which would be dancing and flirting and fal-lallery in the season of youth, London City could provide near meridian hours for a man of middle age carrying his bottle of champagne, like a guest of an old- fashioned wedding-breakfast.

A brush of the coat; mud must be dry by this time. Clear turtle, I think, with a bottle of the Old Veuve. Not bad news to tell?

Veuve Clicquot, sir, if possible of the year 1899, though the year 1900 is quite drinkable." "Veuve Clicquot," Tavernake repeated. "I'll remember it for this evening." The professor beamed.
