She was born during the Revolution, you see, and had never learned her Catechism. The husband of this portress with the unblenching tawny eyes was an object of envy to the whole fraternity, for La Cibot had not forgotten the knowledge of cookery picked up at the Cadran Bleu.
She had been at once the partner of his task, and the pays bleu into which he escaped from it; the vivifying thought which gave meaning to the life he had chosen, yet never let him forget that there was a larger richer life outside, to which he was rooted by deeper and more intrinsic things than any abstract ideal of altruism.
"Ventrebleu!" and it WAS ventrebleu with him, I warrant you; for bleu, in the French language, means "through;" and ventre why, you see, ventre means 'pon my faith, now

Cabinet bleu is the best that can be bought; the less fine qualities are sold in barrels. You will be interested to hear how they gather the grapes.
He rang the bell and sent a petit bleu to say he was prevented from dining with his friend. What a relief when he had sent this now he could think of her alone in peace....
