"I’m asleep, I tell you! Retro, Satanas!"
"But the master wants me to warm his bed with sugar——"
"Warm it with the four spices and leave me in peace."

"Do you know what to do to warm a bed with sugar?"
"Pardine! what a question!" replied the cook; "why, you put sugar in the warming pan. That’s all, my girl."
"And monsieur said it smelt good."
"Why, yes; it makes a kind of caramel!"
"Oho! it makes ca-a-ramel! that’s funny! I wouldn’t have thought that!"
