Excerpt from The Schoolboy Abroad

In this study, Laurent learns, he is to take his breakfast and tea, for which latter meal his new school-fellows perform a complete change of toilet, some of them even going the length of putting on white neckties. Dinner and supper are served in public, on a long table covered with spotless linen, and decorated with flowers and silver-plate, where the youthful guests converse with all the ease and refinement of good society. Laurent, placed beside Mrs Newton at the evening meal, has blushingly to confess that French schoolboys are not allowed to talk at table, which causes the good lady very naturally to wonder how they acquire their national repute for polite behaviour. He has 'no less than three helps of cold meat; and Mrs Newton is sorry to see that he eats somewhat gluttonously, like one accustomed to make the best of a meagre allowance.
