A plainly dressed Englishwoman , grimacing as her veil falls back from her face , seizes her portly husband by the ear as he about to follow an elegant Frenchwoman who beckons him into a restaurant where " Cabinets Particuliers " are advertised , beside the door hang two eels beneath a shop sign of three birds in a pot .
