«Après avoir passé le village de Saint-Leonard, on commence
It is good, in a day of small and laborious ingenuities, to breathe the free air of your books, and dwell in the company of Dumas's men so gallant, so frank, so indomitable, such swordsmen, and such trenchermen. Like M. de Rochefort in 'Vingt Ans Apres, like that prisoner of the Bastille, your genius 'n'est que d'un parti, c'est du parti du grand air.
"But spare me, I beg, your explanations. As you know, I am practically helpless. We understand each other. I trust that Madame de la Fontaine will give me an explanation of the outrage that you have refused." "Sans doute, sane doute!" exclaimed the captain. He waved his hand toward the door. "Apres vous, monsieur. Our worthy Jean will lead the way."
Very unreasonable of her ladyship to disparage that ample provision. "Lucy cannot come to you just now. She is practicing." "Mais, il le faut. J'ai le droit de demander apres elle. Elle m'appartient, vous comprenez, madame, cette demoiselle la." Madame could not forbear a smile. "I wish you would speak English sense, instead of French nonsense."
The quiet, saddened, patient padre trusts himself as freely to his unknown future, as a child in its mother's cradling arms. In his simple creed, "God is everywhere." So Francois Ribaut goes in peace to spend a few quiet days at the Mission Dolores church. He will then follow the wild ocean waves back to his beloved France. "Apres vingt ans." A month sees him nearing the beloved shores.
The sees-tee franc were gone. A wrong had been done. But that was yesterday. To-day and he wandered up and down, joking, laughing, singing "apres la guerre finit." ...

To all these demonstrations he by no means turned a deaf ear; on the contrary.
The learned and virtuous Malesherbes and many another distinguished member of the suppressed parlements warned the king of the dangers menacing the crown, but so sunk was its wearer in sensual stupefaction that he only murmured: "Well, it will last my time," and with his flatterers and strumpets uttered the famous words "Après nous le déluge."
Ou a garrison, troupe flasque, Se rendit si piteusement Apres la premiere bourasque Du canon francais foudroyant. You recognize Kehl in this description. No, said I to him; of passports We never had the whim.
Murray-Hartley took us to see the pictures and the collections of china and miniatures; and she talks about them all just like a book, and calls them simple little things, and you would never have guessed they cost thousands, and that she had not been used to them always, until she showed us a beautiful enamel of Madame de Pompadour, and called it the Princesse de Lamballe, and said so sympathetically that it was quite too melancholy to think she had been hacked to pieces in the Revolution; only perhaps it served her right for saying "Après moi le déluge!". Octavia was in fits, and I wonder no one noticed it.
