"What about?" inquired Porthos.
"You are positively putting fire into your body."
"How is that, my good fellow?" said Porthos.
"All those things are very heating to the system."
"Which?"
"Raisins, nuts and almonds."
"Yes; but if raisins, nuts and almonds are heating—"
"There is no doubt at all of it, monsieur."
"Honey is very cooling," said Porthos, stretching out his hand toward a small barrel of honey which was opened, and he plunged the scoop with which the wants of the customers were supplied into it, and swallowed a good half-pound at one gulp.
"I must trouble you for some water now, my man," said Porthos.
