— Our host, elated by a double triumph, for the College Declamations were just declared, and he had gained one of the Latin ones, had exhausted all his Amphitryonic resources to do justice to the party and the occasion. Turkey-legs devilled in wine, curried oysters, lobser au gratin (the Trinity cook used to call it lobster grating, just as he had converted poulet grillé into pulled and grilled fowl), and other appetizing condiments, graced the board, and that rare luxury in England, good Madeira, flowed abundantly.
