"Croyez-vous m'avoir humiliée pour m'avoir appris que la terre tourne autour du soleil? Je vous jure que je ne m'en estime pas moins." FONTENELLE: Pluralité des Mondes. That lofty criticism had caused Gwendolen a new sort of pain.

"But I have your promise, and you should recollect that I know things which might interest Mr. Breitmann." "Croyez-vous qu'il pleuve?
