I then get out my trusty mouli and run the whole lot through it (my lovely friend and clever cooking teacher, Paola Bacchia, tells me Italians call a mouli, a 'passatutto', which sounds so much more lyrical to me).

The usual composition of the L.C.D.R. train was three saloon cars of Wagons-Lits stock, with a Wagons-Lits fourgon or van at one end, while the S.E.R. train, as shown, had two saloons and the fourgon, with a 6-wheel S.E.R. brake at the other end.

It was a merited reward.

I took a v'y'ge to Australia furst, just to put her out o' my mind a bit, an' I never seed her since.
