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.
C’était un régime frugal et nourrissant, mais qui n’avait rien d’exaltant. Aussi, fîmes-nous un accueil enthousiaste au bouquet du vin de Bourgogne, a l’arôme des sauces françaises, aux serviettes d’une blancheur immaculée et au pain frais.
