It had been a simple, a nutritious diet; but there had been nothing exciting about it, and the odour of Burgundy, and the smell of French sauces, and the sight of clean napkins and long loaves, knocked as a very welcome visitor at the door of our inner man.
Det hade utgjort en enkel, men närande diet; men det fanns ingenting spännande över den; och dofterna av Bourgogne och franska såser, samt åsynen av de rena servetterna och dukarna var en synnerligen välkommen upplevelse.
