In such concord between man and man, there is more entente cordiale between England and France than there was at Sebastopol. Now let me compare the handwritings." "The box that contained the letters is not here I left it at Rochebriant; I will telegraph to my aunt to send it; the day after to-morrow it will no doubt arrive.
My attempts at French will only amuse everybody." The elder of the two Frenchmen, whom the waiter addressed as Monsieur le Baron, and every one else as Louis, held up his hand. "With pleasure!" he declared, "later on. Just now it is too early. We will celebrate l'entente cordiale. Garçon, a magnum of Pommery, un neu frappé!

The constant raiding expeditions of Villa across the American border were a source of great irritation and threatened every few days a conflagration.
