TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY

317. Sommes allés hier en vendange. — Went a grape-gathering yesterday.

As the purpose for which the grapes are gathered is to make wine., the children would naturally par take of the sweet wine, which, like sweet cider (with which our children are more familiar), when first pressed from the fruit is but slightly intoxicating, but of which, from its agreeable taste, one is unconsciously induced at times to partake too freely.

318. Laissez parler votre cousin, monsieur. — The grandfather is angry, as the use of " vous " and " monsieur " plainly shows.
