Hunger. however. knows no law, and
canine and feline butcher shops were
opened in different parts of Paris.
Skillfully prepared. properly skinned
and cooked. with good sauce, the
dogs proved excellent eating. Their
meat was pink and delicate and by no
means tough. Canine outlets were
sold at 2 francs each, and a leg Of dog
might be purchased at double that
price pound.
Two good bourgeois, husband and
wife, had little dog of which they
were very fond. But day came when
there was nothing to eat In the house,
and poor Bijou had to be killed and
cooked. His master and mistress sat
down to dinner with tears in their
eyes, and d'1ring the dinner the latter
mechanically placed the tiny rib bones
on the side Of her plate. Poor Bijou!'
