She was fair, she was graceful, she was lovely, and as she entered the room, blushing and smiling, with a little floating motion which suggested that she was in a liquid element, she brushed down the ribbons of a delicate Parisian toilette de jeune fille.
She is jeune fille still, she always will be! Sophia, blushing a little, would feel herself richly complimented, and the ladies laughed, Mrs. Batty uncertainly, having no acquaintance with the French language. Rose read steadily through all the books in the house and gained a various knowledge which left her curiously untouched.
I tried to do it to Madame Carmen, to Jean Jacques; but it was no use. How could I betray her to him, how could I tell her that I knew her shame!" The Judge turned brusquely and caught his friend by the shoulders, fastening him with the eyes which had made many a witness forget to lie. "If you were an avocat in practice I would ruin your reputation, Fille," he said.
As he went, some one touched his arm and slipped a book into his hand. It was M. Fille, and the book was his little compendium of philosophy which his friend had retrieved from his bedroom in the early morning. "You weren't going to forget it, Jean Jacques?" M. Fille said reproachfully. "It is an old friend. It would not be happy with any one else." Jean Jacques looked M. Fille in the eyes.
Dumb amazement fille dthe horse's great eyes; he stretched out his neck and smelled his lifeless master inquiringly. A shot from Harry's musket, fifty from the astounded Rebels, and the two Unionists sped away unhurt into the cover of the dark cedars.

You can't get a table. So are the cinematographs and the theatres. I went to the Ballet last night." "What was it?" "'La fille mal gardée' Karsavina dancing divinely. Every one was there."
He had followed his father's example in taking an ugly, nasty mistress, who had been fille d'honneur to the elder Princess de Conti: her name is Mademoiselle de Chouin, and she is still living at Paris . It was generally believed that he had married her clandestinely; but I would lay a wager he never did.
Very often indeed, when he felt incompetent to do for his child all that he wished philosophers are often stupid in human affairs he thought it was a blessing Zoe had a friend like M. Fille.
Thereupon M. Fille proceeded to tell the history, musical with legend, of Jean Jacques' Grand Tour, of the wreck of the Antoine, of the marriage of the "seigneur," the home-coming, and the life that followed, so far as rumour, observation, and a mind with a gift for narrative, which was not to be incomplete for lack of imagination, could make it.
Thence I soon found my way into the Rue de la Fille Sauvage, a mean street, to which the queer name seemed not inappropriate. The house I had to visit was an ugly big box of a building, with rooms advertised to let, as I could see by the light of a street lamp across the way, which gleamed bleakly on the lines of shut windows behind narrow iron balconies.
