He never would take advice, and it was nothing but "Tais-toi, Coralie," all day long but no one is perfect. He wished me to remain in the camp, but I made it a rule never to be left behind.

"Eulalie, je suis prete a pamer de rire," observed one. "Comme il a rougi en parlant!" "Oui, c'est un veritable blanc-bec." "Tais-toi, Hortense il nous ecoute."
"Not quite," put in Mr. Wilding. "Mr. Westmacott, I think, was constrained away. He did not intend..." "Tais-toi!" blazed Feversham. "Did I interrogate you? It is for Mistaire Westercott to answer."
