Major Pendennis was highly delighted: and as might be expected of such a philosopher, made precisely the same observation as that which had escaped from Warrington. "All women are the same," he said. "La petite se console. Daymy, when I used to read 'Telemaque' at school, Calypso ne pouvait se consoler, you know the rest, Warrington, I used to say it was absard. Absard, by Gad, and so it is.

Petite maman couldn't say anything just then because tears were choking her, but in her turn she clasped those two strong and slender hands the hands of the brave Englishman who had just risked his life in order to save Pierre from the guillotine and she kissed them as fervently as she kissed the feet of the Madonna when she knelt before her shrine in prayer.

He lives out of town, but comes to the city daily for a certain stimulus. The petite woman with the pretty colour who has crossed the room to speak to him is the best known writer of New England romance.

I cried, "what have you done?" "It was a mere scrawl," he said impatiently. "No, no it was beautiful. I would have given anything for it!" Monsieur Maurice laughed, and patted me on the cheek. "Nonsense, petite, nonsense!" he said. "It was only fit for the fire. I will make you a better drawing, if you remind me of it, to-morrow."

"Petite imbecile!" he cried, "there is no lady in France worthy to hold thy scarf; 'twas thyself, mignonne, I spoke of all the time; only the more I love the less I can express." He drew her to him, crushing the jasmine till it breathed in a fragrant dissolution, bruising her breast with the topaz. But Simon MacTaggart did not pipe wholly in vain.

Even in her present disheveled condition, she was beautiful a trifle on the petite side, with black hair and black eyes that quirled up oddly at the outer corners.

Perhaps you have remarked, Judson, that those of the purest Carset blood have never been large women." A sweet, complacent smile quivered around those old lips, as the countess settled back among her cushions. She, a petite creature, had Carset blood in her veins from both parents, and in her youth she had been distinguished among the most beautiful women of England.

In this second voyage of 1535-36, the most memorable of all he made to American waters, he had the assistance of a little fleet of three vessels, the Grande Hermine, the Petite Hermine, and the Emérillon, of which the first had a burden of one hundred and twenty tons quite a large ship compared with the two little vessels of sixty tons each that were given him for his first venture.

It was now nine o'clock; and shortly after the horsemen had all passed through the street, the little Chevalier came in with the news, that they were immediately about to attack the blues; the republican army being already within a mile of the town; and that Henri was at that moment leaving the guard-house, and preparing to lead the attack; and when he had told so much aloud to them all, he stooped down to whisper to de Lescure, that Adolphe Denot was riding everywhere through the town at Henri's right hand, and that he was the redoubtable Mad Captain, the leader of La Petite Vendee.
