"Odd! queer! why, do you really think so? We are not very prudish, to be sure, here in the South do pretty much as we please enjoy life, and all that sort of thing, you know-" "To be sure," said I, "to be sure." "And then, perhaps, this Clos de Vougeot is a little heady, you know a little strong you understand, eh?" "To be sure," said I, "to be sure.
The kingly Burgundy! that's what I want, Valeria, to set my invention alight and flaming in my head. Glasses for everybody! Honor to the King of the Vintages the Royal Clos Vougeot!" Ariel opened the cupboard in the alcove, and produced the wine and the high Venetian glasses. Even Ariel had her share this time, and emptied her glass in rivalry with her master.
In the meantime, Monsieur Maillard and myself, with some bottles of Sauterne and Vougeot between us, continued our conversation at the top of the voice. A word spoken in an ordinary key stood no more chance of being heard than the voice of a fish from the bottom of Niagara Falls.
Chambertin, or Clos de Vougeot, at twelve bob a bottle that's the sort of tipple, I rather flatter myself eh?" Henry Dunbar drew himself up with a slight shudder, as if repelled and disgusted by the man's vulgarity. "What do you want of me?" he asked. "Remember that I am waited for. I am quite ready to serve you for the sake of 'auld lang syne!"
I was too much accustomed to analytical labours to be baffled by so flimsy a veil. I determined to probe the mystery to the bottom. "Simon," I said, gayly, "let us forget all this over a bottle of Burgundy. I have a case of Lausseure's Clos Vougeot downstairs, fragrant with the odours and ruddy with the sunlight of the Côte d'Or. Let us have up a couple of bottles. What say you?"
"Burgundy!" he said "the king of wine: And this is the king of Burgundies Clos Vougeot. I drink to your health and happiness!" He filled a second goblet for himself, and honored the toast by draining it to the bottom. I now understood the sparkle in his eyes and the flush in his cheeks. It was my interest not to offend him. I drank a little of his wine, and I quite agreed with him.
