dried fruits and two each of cakes and nuts.
Coffee and tea are served lastly, poured into tiny cups and served clear, passed
around on a tray to each guest, then the sugar and cream passed, that each
person may be allowed to season his black coffee or café noir to suit himself.

satisfactory without much display or expense; consisting first of good soup,
then fish garnished with suitable additions, followed by a roast; then

almost any one, and is within the means of any housekeeper in ordinary
circumstances.
