S. to- her aunt she says: *We rose from table half an hour ago. Mme. de Chartres was dining with us, a thing which doesn't often happen.
Monsieur, she, and I, ate nearly two hundred English MADAME 269 oysters between us. For my part, I have fifty inside me ; Mme. de Chartres the same number, and Monsieur must have ...eaten eighty. . . ,' But, in spite of occasional orgies, Madame was an abstemious woman. Her supper in summer consisted of ' the legs of a young quail, a quarter of a lettuce, and five little peaches,' Nor did she, in Teutonic fashion, linger long over the mid-day meal.
