We went by a tortuous route, round Paris towards the west, and at every station the carriages were besieged by people trying to escape. "Pour l'amour de Dieu, laissez-moi entrer!" "J'ai trois enfants, messieurs! Ayez un peu de pitie!" "Cre nom de Dieu, c'est le dernier train! Et j'ai peur pour les petits. Nous sommes tous dans le meme cas, n'est-ce-pas?"
He knew just what to do when he reached the gate. "Back there at once!" he commanded, not loudly, but with intense force, "back there!" This to the inward surging wedge of excited outsiders. Then to the guard. "Shoot the first man who crosses the line!" "Ziff! me voici! moi! Gaspard Roussillon. Laissez-moi passer, messieurs."
But, mon cher, we are falling upon very gloomy topics. Laissez-moi tranquille in my illusions, if illusions they be. Ah, you cannot conceive what a new life opens to the man who, like myself, has passed the dawn of his youth in privation and fear, when he suddenly acquires competence and hope. If it lasts only a year, it will be something to say 'Vixi."
An old man, brown, bent and wrinkled, was digging about the shrubbery, perhaps preparing some of the plants for their winter sleep. He was clad in leather and linsey, and seemed ancient as the hills. He resumed his song. Josephine leaned out from the casement and softly joined in the refrain: "Rendez-moi ma patrie, ou laissez-moi mourir!" The old man dropped his spade.
Oh, my son, oh, my Petrusha.... And though I do not deserve the name of father, but rather that of tiger, yet... Laissez-moi, mon ami, I'll lie down a little, to collect my ideas. I am so tired, so tired. And I think it's time you were in bed. Voyez vous, it's twelve o'clock...." SHATOV WAS NOT PERVERSE but acted on my note, and called at midday on Lizaveta Nikolaevna.
Then, looking round the room, he saw Kirsch employed as we have said, and going up to him, asked how he dared to bring Mr. George to such a place. "Laissez-moi tranquille," said Mr. Kirsch, very much excited by play and wine. "Il faut s'amuser, parbleu. Je ne suis pas au service de Monsieur."
"Mais non. It will all come in woman's good time. Laissez-moi faire. He will soon begin to believe in himself again." At last Paul's opportunity arrived. The Whips had given him his chance to speak. His luck attended him, in so far that when his turn came he found a full House. It was on a matter of no vital importance; but he had prepared his speech carefully.
When he wanted one, he hung his hammer to the belt of his trousers, took a nail from between his teeth, stuck it into the wood, and then deftly rapped it on the head. Claude watched him for a moment, then went to the foot of the ladder and held out his two hands. "Laissez-moi," he exclaimed. The one aloft spat his nails out into his palm, looked down, and laughed.

To be left to her and her cordial seemed to me something like being left to the poisoner and her bowl. When M. Paul answered deeply, harshly, and briefly "Laissez-moi!" in the grim sound I felt a music strange, strong, but life-giving. "Laissez-moi!" he repeated, his nostrils opening, and his facial muscles all quivering as he spoke. "But this will never do," said Madame, with sternness.
