"That is easy; it is the only thing that is easy for me to do." "It is an obstacle in the way of your Jardine, and may stop him a moment. We can manage this way more easily. The important thing is to warn me as soon as the fire begins. 'Au revoir', my dear Sir."
Lady Caroline bowed a ghastly mockery of her former sprightly grace. "Not exactly; but I dare say I shall presently au revoir, madame!" She was going away, kissing her hand that yellow, wrinkled, old woman's hand, but John stopped her. "My wife wants to speak to you, Lady Caroline. She wishes you to come home with us." "Plait il? oh yes; I understand. I shall be happy most happy."
Angela spent her mornings listening to his tales of slave-days, and always she bought something before she bade him au revoir, in the Parisian French which enchanted the old man.
Witness took no notice of them; he was very much engrossed in some calculations, and finally got out at Farringdon Street. He noticed that the man in the tweed suit also got out close behind him, having shaken hands with the lady, and said in a pleasant way: 'Au revoir! Don't be late to-night.

A man gets on by a spring in his own mechanism, and he should always keep it wound up. Rameau will make a figure. I used to pity him; I begin to respect. Nothing succeeds like success. But I see I am spoiling your morning. Au revoir, mon enfant." Left alone, Isaura brooded in a sort of mournful wonderment over the words referring to herself in Graham's letter.

"One of our own making D'Avranches, the valet-de-chambre to Madame de Maine." "And you think that he will play his part well?" "Not for you, perhaps, who are accustomed to see princes, but for Buvat." "You are right. Au revoir, abbe!" "Capital." "Go, then, and good luck go with you."
