mr. ratignolle was one of those men who are called the salt of the earth. his
cheerfulness was unbounded, and it was matched by his goodness of heart, his broad

though it did not take her long to discover that it was no dinner of herbs, but a
delicious repast, simple, choice, and in every way satisfying.

rod
c) french cuisine is widely considered to be among the finest in the world.
ud) the ratignolles' marriage has never had any problems or strife.
