The Frenchman fought so well with his jaws, he twisted the morsels with so much agility, that he showed herself equally learned in suppers, and showed it again in dexterously draining the wine flasks without his eye becoming dimmed or his understanding affected.

While they were drinking together, the Venetian endeavoured to find some joint through which to sound the secret depths of his friend's cogitations.Balzac, Honoré de is the author of 'Droll Stories', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419216954 and ISBN 1419216953.
