The men, except when they wear gala costume, are very simply dressed: their sandals are of straw, and they use a plain fan of white paper and bamboo. They, however, possess fine dresses, which are kept in their richly-ornamented lacquered chests. They live chiefly on fish and rice, with various vegetables, vermicelli, eggs, sea-weed, while cakes and sweetmeats vary their diet.
It was easy, of course, to find out whether Goriot had really been a vermicelli manufacturer; the amount of his fortune was readily discoverable; but the old people, who were most inquisitive as to his concerns, never went beyond the limits of the Quarter, and lived in the lodging-house much as oysters cling to a rock.
What friccassee did she give you?" asked his aunt, not without a little real curiosity. "Vermicelli soup, pastry with cabbage, then beef and potatoes." Tatiana Markovna laughed ironically, "Vermicelli soup and beef!" "And groats in the pan...." "It's a long time since you tasted such delicacies." "Excellent dishes," said Tiet Nikonich kindly, "but heavy for the digestion."
"The daughter of a vermicelli manufacturer," the Duchess added; "and when the little creature went to Court, the daughter of a pastry-cook was presented on the same day. Do you remember, Claire? The King began to laugh, and made some joke in Latin about flour. People what was it? people " "Ejusdem farinoe," said Eugene. "Yes, that was it," said the Duchess.
"Well, if you must know, I think that the Earl's Italian valet, Luigi Vermicelli, is the man. He was the last man near the cuff-buttons when the Earl retired Sunday night."

"With Madame la Baronne de Nucingen." "M. Goriot's daughter," said the law student. At this, all eyes turned to the old vermicelli maker; he was gazing at Eugene with something like envy in his eyes.
Beat up the yolks of four eggs, mix with them half a pint of cream, stir them gradually into the soup, simmer it for a few minutes, and serve it up. A little of the vermicelli may be reserved to serve in the soup, if approved. Another way.
Lacey sat by her father and paid him every possible attention. "Will you take soup, Mr. Middleton?" asked Mrs. Crane. "What kind of soup? Beef soup, or mud turkle?" "It is vermicelli," said Mrs. Crane, hardly able to keep her face straight. "Vermifuge—vermifuge," repeated Mr. Middleton. "That’s almighty queer stuff to make soup on. No. I’m ’bleeged to you; I ain’t in need of that ar medicine."
So we'll have vermicelli soup, a salad of cold meat with pickled herring and celery, some nice mashed potatoes au gratin, and a dessert. And then you shall taste the new cider we just got." "Oh!" and "Ah!" exclaimed Des Hermies and Durtal, who, while waiting for dinner, were sipping the elixir of life. "Do you know, Mme.
Thorneycroft," he added, turning to the secretary, "you accused Luigi Vermicelli, the Earl's valet, of having stolen the cuff-buttons, and you there, Olaf, accused your stable-partner, Carol Linescu, of the theft. I shall give your statements due consideration, and lay for the accused parties accordingly.
