"If what Monsieur says is true," he exclaimed to the Honorable, throwing out his clenched hand, "if these letters are found upon those notes, then I understand it. I can prove that this infernal, greasy, treacherous devil, be he friend or traitor, or whatever he chooses to be, to the Bleu party or myself, committed that despicable larceny and has wronged that poor young man.
Nothing must be served but the best soup, fish, entree, roast, game, dessert everything that made up a showy dinner and he had long since determined that only a high-priced chef was worth while. They had found an old cordon bleu, Louis Berdot, who had served in the house of one of the great dry goods princes, and this man he engaged.
I have asked him to come to luncheon with us to-morrow, and to bring Mr. Dank." "Good Lord, will wonders never " "But I did not include the still invisible Mr. Gourou. I was afraid that you would be too uncomfortable under the hawk-like eye of the gentleman who so kindly warned us at the Pavilion Bleu." There was gentle raillery in her manner. "I shall expect you to join us, Mr. Schmidt.
Thus the last French mode might be seen at the Three Crowns, displayed by the hostess, as well as the last French entremet at its table; since, among other important accessories to the well-doing of the house, Madame Bonaventure kept a chef de cuisine one of her compatriots of such superlative skill, that in later times he must infallibly have been distinguished as a cordon bleu.

He was in high glee, as we praised his skill, and so excited did he become, that he gave up his proposal of the "Gold, Emerald, Topaz, Sapphire, and Amethyst Association, in ten thousand shares," and vowed he would cast away his lancet and turn cook in the service of some bon vivant, or go to feed the padres of a Mexican convent, he boasted that he could cook the toughest old woman, so as to make the flesh appear as white, soft, and sweet as that of a spring chicken; but upon my proposing to send him, as a cordon bleu, to the Cayugas, in West Texas, or among the Club Indians of the Colorado of the West, he changed his mind again, and formed new plans for the regeneration of the natives of America.
