I know very well that the Reformed Churches have been far from going those cruel lengths which are authorised by the doctrine as well as example of that of Rome, though Calvin put a flaming sword on the title of a French edition of his Institute, with this motto, "Je ne suis point venu mettre la paix, mais l'epee;" but I know likewise that the difference lies in the means and not in the aim of their policy.
It was deliciously cold, and we drank it from leaf cups. "How about the time the French came here with the treasure?" I inquired. "Have we time for that history?" "Mais, oui!" said Noanoa Tiare. "That is too good for you not to know. You know that the French are excitable, n'est-ce pas?
"You always were an eccentric," she said. "I don't want to find Lady Jo." He sat on the head of the settee at her elbow. "It's quite a fair offer," he said, as if she had not spoken. "You will eventually return from Paris, and no one will ever know. In these days a woman of the world pleases herself and is answerable to none. Mais, Juliette!" He reached down and coaxingly held her hand.
Nobody that ever lived would have more speedily found out the truth of Voltaire's saying, "Le repos est une bonne chose, mais l'ennui est son frère."
The chef laughed, especially over the beauties of Narbonne, ran his eye through the book, took it over to his assistant to look at and laugh over the wonderful girls' faces, returned it to me, and let me off.

J'ignore le destin qui le ciel me prepare, Mais il est temps enfin qu' larbe se declare.
"The thing may be all wrong to others, but if it's right to yourself that's it mais oui! If he comes," he added "if he comes back, think of him as well as Marcey. Marcey is sleeping what does it matter? If he is awake, he has better times, for he was a man to make another world sociable.

"Not more than ten or twelve, I think " Again her grandfather promptly contradicted her: "Mais, mais, je compte b'an qu'il y en a quinze ou seize, Thérèse;" and he went quite glibly over the names of such of his red friends as still hovered around their old home in that vicinity.
No doubt the fellow has committed an unpardonable sin in daring to come into the world when there was no call for him; one used to think, certainly, that children's opinions were not consulted on such points before they were born, and that therefore it might be hard to visit the sins of the fathers on the children, even though the labour-market were a little overstocked "mais nous avons change tout cela," like M. Jourdain's doctors.
"Mais, monsieur, je vous assure " began Rodier again, when he thought he saw a chance; but the explorer shouted "Retirez-vous! J'insiste que vous vous en lliez, tout de suite, tout de suite!"
