Her death comes with regard to the King of Prussia, 'comme la moutarde apres diner'. I am curious to see what tyrant will succeed her, not by divine, but by military right; for, barbarous as they are now, and still more barbarous as they have been formerly, they have had very little regard to the more barbarous notion of divine, indefeasible, hereditary right.

Egremont regarded with great annoyance, though they only consisted of such phrases as 'Back on Wednesday. Find an excuse, or in French, 'Envoyez moi la petite boite! 'Que la porte soit ouverte apres minuit. 'That was the way, groaned Mr. Egremont. 'The scoundrel! he kept all those to be able to show me up to the General if he chose!

"Après avoir examiné attentivement cet objet, d'après les phénomènes que j'ai moi-même observés, et ce que j'ai appris par les observations des autres; j'ai vu que c'étoit l

They don't make poor men peers." "That ought to have been allowed to weigh in the balance in favor of Dives," suggested Eugene. "Not a bit," said Ayre. "Depend upon it, they kept it for him down below." "I hate cynicism!" said Claudia, suddenly and aggressively. Ayre put up his eyeglass. "Après?" "It's all affectation." "Really, Lady Claudia, you might be quite old, from the way you talk.

"Are you going to get it?" I asked. "Perhaps so," he replied gravely. "After so many sacrifices." (Après tant de sacrifices.) He made no gesture, but I know that his vision included the soldiers' cemetery at the foot of the Mousson hill. It lay, a rust-colored field, on the steep hillside just at the border of the town, and was new, raw, and dreadful. The guardian of the cemetery, an old veteran of 1870, once took me through the place. He was a very lean, hooped-over old man with a big, aquiline nose, blue-gray eyes framed in red lids, and a huge, yellowish-white mustache. First he showed me the hideous picture of the civilian cemetery, in which giant shells had torn open the tombs, hurled great sarcophagi a distance of fifty feet, and dug craters in the rows of graves. Though the civilian authorities had done what they could to put the place in order, there were still memories of the disturbed dead to whom the war had denied rest. Coming to the military cemetery, the guardian whispered, pointing to the new mounds with his rustic cane, "I have two colonels, three commandants, and a captain. Yes, two colonels" (deux colonels). Following his staff, my eye looked at the graves as if it expected to see the living men or their effigies. Somewhat apart lay another grave. "Voil

"Chiff! frightened and gone to stay with Madame Godere, I suppose and I so thirsty! Bah! hum, hum, apres le vin la bataille, ziff!" He kicked in the door and groped his way to the liquors.

If you force your beast forward for a moment, he will contrive to wheel and draw back, at the same time looking at one of the other camels with an expression and gesture exactly equivalent to après vous. The responsibility of finding the way is evidently assumed very unwillingly.

"Thus, you see, my dear sir, how I have loved the emperor, for I have many a day stood under fire for him in this world, 'et il faut que j'aille encore au feu pour lui apres ma mort.."

A familiar verse had come into Peter's mind, and kept running there obstinately. "Really," he said to himself, "feature for feature, down to the very 'cataract leaping in glory, the scene might have been got up, apres coup, to illustrate it." And he began to repeat the beautiful hackneyed words, under his breath.... But about midway of the third line he was interrupted.
