Anyhow, Philip, you may as well make up your mind to accept Doreen as a pis otter for Tony and do it gracefully, my dear man! Mark my words, marriage will be the making of the boy. Every man ought to be married." "I wish you'd held that opinion thirty years ago, Susan," retorted Sir Philip. "I suppose" he hesitated, his eyes curiously soft "it's too late in the day now?"
Pisaro, do not err; I found the Prince and she alone together, He all disorder'd like a Ravisher, Loose and unbutton'd for the amorous play; O that she had another Life to lose! Pis. You wrong her most inhumanly, you do; Her Blood, yet sensible of the injury, Flows to her face to upbraid thy Cruelty. Where dost thou mean, bad Man, to hide thy head?
I feel certain that if we have a night attack at once the Chinese will break in with the greatest ease, and then.... Tant pis! The last thing I saw in the British Legation was M , the great correspondent, sitting on a great stack of his books, looking wearily around him. His former energy and resolution have all departed, sapped by the spectacle of extraordinary incompetence around him.
Already I understood fully the new methods and the new requirements. We rode away, stirrup to stirrup, I, a single white man, with a dozen doubtful adherents, made savage at the idea of loot, as companions, and held to me only by a questionable community of interests. Yet what did it matter, I thought. One lives only once and dies only once. That is elemental truth. So tant pis.
I have kept her at coffee at my house. Tant pis! You have a right to be here!" The concierge drew the curtain a little wider and the cup was exposed. She thrust it back into the shadow; the door opened and Philippe's mother walked in. She was very tall, in black, and a deep veil hung before her face.
