"The work is combined in that study," said the chaplain. "Stalky does the mathematics, McTurk the Latin, and Beetle attends to their English and French. At least, when he was in the sick-house last month " "Malingering," Prout interjected. "Quite possibly. I found a very distinct falling off in their 'Roman d'un Jeune Homme Pauvre' translations." "I think it is profoundly immoral," said Prout.
But Nick had pulled off his hat and was sweeping her a bow. The girl looked down, smoothing her ribbon, Gaspard took a step forward, and other young women near us tittered with delight. The voice of Hippolyte rolling his r's called out in a French dialect: "M'ssieurs et Mesdames, ce sont des effets d'un pauvre officier qui est mort. Who will buy?"
I say he abides here, but I do not think he is resident above five months out of the twelve; he wanders from land to land, and spends some part of each winter in town: he frequently brings visitors with him when he comes to shire, and these visitors are often foreigners; sometimes he has a German metaphysician, sometimes a French savant; he had once a dissatisfied and savage-looking Italian, who neither sang nor played, and of whom Frances affirmed that he had "tout l'air d'un conspirateur."
'This is little Tommy, the patrol leader of the Owls. 'Mon Dieu' I cried, 'an Owl! Un Hibou! Is he then stupid as an owl? I could see that the Tommy so small frowned savagely, but the Sub-Lieutenant laughed. 'You will see presently if he is stupid. I have forty miles of coast to watch, and I do it all with Boy Scouts like this one. 'Nom d'un chien, I cried.
He tried it but it was quite a failure; Lady Cecilia, as he overheard, whispered to Helen what was once so happily said "Ah! le pauvre homme! comme il se batte les flancs d'un enthousiasme de commande." Horace was too clever a man to persist in a wrong line, or one in which his test of right success did not crown his endeavours.
The poor of Paris itself were not so very ill-off, for there were continual distributions of money and flour to keep them in good humour, and there were songs about. 'Le bon tems que c'etait A Paris Durant la famine, Tout le monde s'entrebaisait A Paris Durant la famine, La plus belle se contentait D'un simple boisseau de farine.
* "Dans l'espace d'un an ils ont failli detruire le produit de plusieurs siecles de civilization." The principal cause of this is the despotism of the government in making the stage a mere political engine, and suffering the performance of such pieces only as a man of honesty or genius would not submit to write.*
Caton approves of this match, and therefore A. B. does, for he respects greatly the opinions of Mrs. Caton. I like much your reasoning about Morris's place and Richmond Hill. Yet would not a permanent residence in town for some, for many, for all reasons, be better? La G. is much better than I had heard d'un certaine age, and well-looking, considering that circumstance.
"Sacre nom d'un chien!" he muttered; "where have I seen that face before?" Signor Bruno spoke French when soliloquising, which was perhaps somewhat peculiar for an Italian. However proficient a man may be in the mastery of foreign tongues, he usually dreams and talks to himself in the language he learnt at his mother's knee.
Formerly, the Mediterranean was a Roman lake; it must become a French lake. "Souvenirs d'un Sexagenaire," by Arnault, vol. In this government, "the legislative power, without rank in the republic, deaf and blind to all around it, would not be ambitious and would no longer inundate us with a thousand chance laws, worthless on account of their absurdity."
