[The Attache by Thomas Chandler Haliburton]@TWC D-Link bookThe Attache CHAPTER XV 11/20
Lord, how white he looked about the gills arterwards; I thought I should a split when I looked at him.
Guess he'll know an Attache when he sees him next time. "Well, there is dinner.
One sarvice of plate is like another sarvice of plate, any one dozen of sarvants are like another dozen of sarvants, hock is hock, and champaigne is champaigne--and one dinner is like another dinner.
The only difference is in the thing itself that's cooked.
Veal, to be good, must look like any thing else but veal; you mustn't know it when you see it, or it's vulgar; mutton must be incog. too; beef must have a mask on; any thin' that looks solid, take a spoon to; any thin' that looks light, cut with a knife; if a thing looks like fish, you may take your oath it is flesh; and if it seems rael flesh, it's only disguised, for it's sure to be fish; nothin' must be nateral, natur is out of fashion here.
