The Marquis was beating time with one finger, and within the room, to an impromptu accompaniment invented by Juliette, Barebone was singing: C'est le Hasard, Qui, tot ou tard, Ici-bas nous seconde; Car, D'un bout du monde A l'autre bout, Le Hasard seul fait tout. He broke off with a laugh in which Juliette's low voice joined.
"Dans Petat actuel des choses, avant dix ans, toute l'Europe peut etre cosaque, ou toute en republique." III. p. 111, Journal, 18 Avril 1816. A better than Napoleon, who saw mankind with truer insight, Lafayette, has recorded a clearer prophecy.
Their commissions, which they have no desire to lose, will make them tractable; for those gentlemen, though all men of honor, are of Sosia's mind, 'que le vrai Amphitrion est celui ou l'on dine'. The Tories and the city have engaged to support Pitt; the Whigs, the Duke of Newcastle; the independent and the impartial, as you well know, are not worth mentioning.
Jess had been up before Leeby could get the fire lit, with great difficulty reaching the window in her bare feet, and many a time had she said that the post must be by. "Havers," said Leeby, "he winna be for an hour yet. Come awa' back to your bed." "Na, he maun be by," Jess would say in a few minutes; "ou, we couldna expeck this month." So it went on until Jess's hand shook the blind.
If you did, you were certainly told it was instituted by Henry III. immediately after his return, or rather his flight from Poland; he took the hint of it at Venice, where he had seen the original manuscript of an order of the 'St. Esprit, ou droit desir', which had been instituted in 1352, by Louis d'Anjou, King of Jerusalem and Sicily, and husband to Jane, Queen of Naples, Countess of Provence.
One letter may contain the name, and another the comment "Car ou l'arreter?" is rather too mystical. I can make nothing of it, having studied it a full hour to no purpose. I entreat that you will always enclose your letter in a blank sheet, on which is to be the seal and superscription. Health and blessings. TO THEODOSIA Washington, February 23, 1802.
"What you, sir, suggested a while back," replied Pao-yue, "will do very well; but if we were now to sift the matter thoroughly, the use of the single word 'drip' by Ou Yang, in his composition about the Niang spring, would appear quite apposite; while the application, also on this occasion, to this spring, of the character 'drip' would be found not quite suitable.
The streets of Paris, however, at midnight were unsafe even for sober ladies, and these soon fell among thieves, were stripped of the rest of their clothing, then taken up for dead by the watch and flung into the mortuary in the cemetery of the Innocents; but, to the terror of the gravedigger, were found lying outside the next morning, singing "Druin, Druin, ou es allez?
Yet they romance, in their way, on rural subjects: "A la campagne," says one of their poets, "ou chaque feuille qui tombe est une elegie toute faite." Through an avenue of scraggy poplars we approach a dilapidated chateau, whose owner is playing dominoes at the cafe of the nearest provincial town, or exhausting the sparse revenues of the estate at the theatres, roulette-tables, or balls of Paris.
"Ou ay; he'll do weel eneuch, he's comin' roun' brawly; it's joost a plain common case o' starvation an' exposure; there's naething complicatit about it at a'; pairfect rest and a guid nourishing diet 'll set him on his pins again in less than a week." Such were the words which fell upon George Leicester's ear as he once more became feebly conscious of the fact of his own existence.
