Rousseau wrote in the New Heloïsa very sagely that you should grant to the senses nothing when you mean to refuse them anything. He admits that the saying was falsified by his relations with Madame d'Houdetot. Clearly the credit of this happy falsification was due to her rather than to himself. What her feelings were, it is not very easy to see.
"I suppose you know, Miss Umè, that your father may actually adopt this goblin from Kiu Shiu!" "Ah, do you mean Sir Tatsu? Yes, I know. He, my father, has always longed to have a son." "A son is desirable when the price is not too great," said the old dame, nodding sagely.
"I never saw a Jacobite in so good a coat, and I never thought Geoffrey would risk his coat for any king. And thirdly and lastly, I never knew Whitehall put itself out in these days whether a man was Jacobite or no. Why, damme, they be all half Jacobites themselves, from the Queen down." "Aye, aye," says Sir John sagely. "A devilish queer thing indeed."
Her courage had entirely returned. She was angry now to think her father would make a public spectacle of her. Cowperwood started to follow. "I'd advise you not to go down there right away," cautioned Alderson, sagely. "That's her father. Butler's her name, isn't it? He don't want you so much as he wants her." Cowperwood nevertheless walked slowly toward the head of the stairs, listening.
We must be bright and cheerful whatever occurs. It should be easy for thee, Sally. Thee is always happy in the hospital." "That is because I have something to do," responded Sally sagely. "If one is so busy that one has no time to think one can't be afraid." "I make no doubt then thee will soon have plenty to occupy thee when Fairfax joins his company, Sally."
"But I work nearly all night and sleep most of the day, and am like a cog in a big machine that never stops grinding." "Shouldn't do it. Wears a man out," and Mr. Giddings sagely nodded his head. "Course you are going up to the game to-day. Come along with me. Special car with a big bunch of your old pals inside. They'll be tickled to death to find I've dug you out of your hole. Hello!
One must live! Madame, disregarding the waiter, continued to study the boyish face the curious dark-gray eyes, in which the morning sun was discovering little flecks of gold. 'And every year conditions were becoming harder, as monsieur doubtless knew. Monsieur nodded his head sagely, and began to eat his eggs with keen zest.
He annexed the horses belonging to the store, sagely remarking that, as Hugh had saved their owner's life, he could afford to let him have a few horses. He also helped himself to pack-saddles, camping gear, supplies, and all sorts of odds and ends not forgetting a couple of gallons of rum, mosquito-nets made of cheese cloth, blankets, and a rifle and cartridges.
She looked perilously pretty as she arched her brows and pouted her ripe lips, and Mary looked at her in loving admiration, while she answered sagely, "You and yours are French, Priscilla, and I am all English like my forbears; so thou mayst well be lighter natured than I I mean no harm, dear."
Isn't that an awful idea, Harry? You can't tell who's a spy and who isn't!" "No, but you can be pretty sure that the man you suspect isn't," suggested Harry, sagely. "A real spy wouldn't let you find it out very easily.
