The Chippeways, freed from their fear of the Foxes, to whom the Wolf and the Wisconsin had given access to the northern portion of the state, now passed south to Lac du Flambeau, to the headwaters of the Wisconsin, and to Lac Court Oreilles.
In the early days of the war it used to be amusing in the train, as everyone talked, and the talk was good. Those days are passed. With the now famous order pasted on every window: Taisez-vous! Méfiez-vous. Les oreilles ennemies vous écoutent no one says a word. I came back from Paris with half a dozen officers in the compartment.
J'étois si près d'elle qu'on me dit de m'èloigner: ainsi je pus la voir parfaitement. Elle avoit aux oreilles un fermail (anneau) large et plat, orné de plusieurs pierres précieuses, et particulièrement de rubis. Elle me parut jeune, blanche, et plus belle encore que dans l'église; en un mot, je n'y eusse trouvé rien
'Tiens! Cosette twittered to Loulou, making a gesture towards Henry's ears. 'Regarde-moi ces oreilles. Sont jolies. Pas? And she brought her teeth together with a click that seemed to render somewhat doubtful Tom's assurance that she would not eat Henry. Soon afterwards Tom and Henry left the auditorium, and Henry parted from Cosette with mingled sensations of regret and relief.
"Even in London, as you remark," Fischer assented. "You didn't hear the end of the affair, I suppose?" she asked him. The steward had arrived with afternoon tea. Fischer threw into the sea the cigar which he had been smoking. "I do not think," he said, "that the end has been reached yet." Pamela sighed. "Les oreilles ennemies!" she quoted.

The Cottonois and the Pends Oreilles determined to move together at the same time, and to pass close under the mountain infested by the Blackfeet; while Captain Bonneville, with his party, was to strike in an opposite direction to the southeast, bending his course for Pierre's Hole, on his way to Green River.
When the Nez Perces, Flatheads, and Pends Oreilles are encamped in a dangerous neighborhood, says Captain Bonneville, the greatest care is taken of their horses, those prime articles of Indian wealth, and objects of Indian depredation. Each warrior has his horse tied by one foot at night to a stake planted before his lodge.
But I trust ye will applaud my Bourdeaux; c'est des deux oreilles, as Captain Vinsauf used to say; vinum primae notae, the principal of Saint Andrews denominated it. And, once more, Captain Waverley, right glad am I that ye are here to drink the best my cellar can make forthcoming.
"Now what are your sister and Mr. Lutchester studying again?" the latter inquired, as they reached the lobby. Molly had paused once more before the notice on the wall, which seemed somehow to have fascinated her. She read it out, lingering on every word: MEFIEZ-VOUS! TAISEZ-VOUS! LES OREILLES ENNEMIES VOUS ECOUTENT! Holderness listened with a frown.
Before the late minister of war gave up his portfolio, by placards he warned all when in public places to be careful of what they said. "Taisez-vous! Méfiez-vous. Les oreilles ennemies vous écoutent." "Be silent. Be distrustful. The ears of the enemies are listening." This warning against spies was placed in tramways, railroad-trains, cafés.
