If you resist, cher monsieur, it will be of painful duty that I entrust the contents of this revolver into mais non! Vous comprenez, n'est-ce pas? Bien!" He gave a sharp order to the seaman. The handkerchief about Dan's ankles was untied, and he was roughly assisted to his feet. "The snow is wet, eh! Yes, for the good wind is moist. Now, Allons!"
I have a Chateau near the French Border the lady leaves for Paris and goes by way of the Chateau. Comprenez vous?" I wanted to laugh in his face.

Quebec oui, I live there once, many years ago. I was taken when I was ver young by Madame de la Corne de la Colombiere pour une bonne; vous comprenez?" "Oh! bonne, yes, we use that word too.
Ringfield, all right, sir, Mees Cordova she put the ring on my finger herself; she was just fooling last night and I like to be good friends with her; then she speak for me to Mees Clairville, and so vous comprenez, sir.
