There's a nice alcove aft behind the smoking-room where we may find refuge. Yes, I grant the little girls are just as bad as the boys; there is that pert spoilt little miss who rushes after the steward when he carries round the hors d'oeuvre before dinner and clamours for them. "They're not for children," he told her.
Croix has been cleverly copied by Mr. Boden and Mr. Faulkner; the latter gentleman has well imitated the color and the beautiful finish of the original. Messrs. Frisk, Child, Howell and M'Call have likewise made clever copies of this chef d'oeuvre of art. Many bold efforts have been made to copy Hobbima's large Landscape; Mr.
"I made that for you," he said, simply. "Did you like it?" "Like it!" exclaimed Patty, her blue eyes dancing; "I revelled in it! It was wonderful! Was it really impromptu?" "Of course. It was nothing. Any one can play variations on an old song." "Variations nothing!" remarked Patty. "It was a work, a chef d'oeuvre, an opus!" "Yes; Opus One of my new cycle."
It lasted long, for I could not cut off a piece for Faye, as Bryant had given us to understand in the beginning that the chef d'oeuvre was for me only. Nothing pleases me more than to have the enlisted men pay me some little attention, and when the day after the pie a beautiful little gray squirrel was brought to me in a nice airy box, I was quite overcome.
In a picture, which may, on the whole, merit the appellation of a chef d'oeuvre, are sometimes to be found beauties which render it superior, negligences which border on the indifferent, and defects which constitute the bad. Genius has its flights and deviations; talent, its successes, attempts, and faults; and mediocrity even, its flashes and chances.

The next day Sarah showed Schulenberg a neat card on which the menu was beautifully typewritten with the viands temptingly marshalled under their right and proper heads from "hors d'oeuvre" to "not responsible for overcoats and umbrellas." Schulenberg became a naturalised citizen on the spot. Before Sarah left him she had him willingly committed to an agreement.
Modern work of this sort has produced nothing that approaches them, preserving as they do the sincerity and reverence of a simple people, the ideality of a conscientious age, yet softening all technical faults with modern finish. An unhappy fact is that this tapestry, which was considered by the Merton Abbey works as its chef d'oeuvre, was destroyed by fire in the Brussels Exhibition of 1910.

But it was very evident that much of the magnificent performance of the débutante and her companion, in the thrilling scene between the Duke and Duchess of Ferrara and the young Captain Gennaro, was lost to the Secretary.
It would be greedy to want to keep passing on from one hors d'oeuvre to another leaving the meal directly the joint comes in." "I like dessert best," Gerda said, irrelevantly, biting into an apple. "Well, you'd never get any at that rate. Nor much of the rest of the meal either." "But people do, Barry. Free unions often last for years and years sometimes forever. Only you wouldn't feel tied.
