But that young man's coming prevented me from Breakfasting, and I feel the need of attending to that important function.
"Monsieur Cherami"
Charles Paul de Kock
This noon, after Breakfasting at Passy with some worthy people,-who must be expecting me to dinner at this moment, by the way, but I shall not go,-I had gone to smoke a cigar in the Bois de Boulogne, where there were very few people, the cold being so intense.
"Monsieur Cherami"
Charles Paul de Kock
The selfishness of adulthood toward childhood, and the stupidity of the general idea, that children do not require good food because they are young and do not have to work hard, were held up to deserved ridicule, in Squeers's manner of Breakfasting in London, and the food he provided for the five hungry little boys to strengthen them for their long ride to Yorkshire in cold weather.
