bon marché

Why did I think a commonplace pickpocket at the Bon Marché was a notorious criminal, wanted by two countries?

"Come in, my dear, and tell me what you think of those new teacups in the Bon Marché catalogue," said the old lady.

Then I go and buy provisions, bon marché—and she cooks them—and we have our meals better than at the hotel and at half the price!

And when the "Bon Marché Ballads" actually appeared, the generous creature insisted on adding another fifty pounds to the cheque.

Très bon marché'—from which I guessed that they had occupied the house rent-free till they had come to look upon it as their own.
