LORD IPSDEN had soon the mortification of discovering that this Mr. was a constant visitor at the house; and, although his cousin gave him her ear in this man's absence, on the arrival of her fellow-enthusiast he had ever the mortification of finding himself de trop. Once or twice he demolished this personage in argument, and was rewarded by finding himself more de trop.

This latter affair was known to all the Court at the death of the Keeper of the Seals. When the Marechal de Belle-Isle's son was killed in battle, Madame persuaded the King to pay his father a visit. He was rather reluctant, and Madame said to him, with an air half angry, half playful: "Barbare! don't l'orgueil Croit le sang d'un sujet trop pays d'un coup d'oeil."

He fires his remarks like pistol shots at this man or that. Once to my horror he fixed me with his hard little eyes and demanded 'Sherlock Holmes, est ce qu'il est un soldat dans l'armee Anglaise? The whole table waited in an awful hush. 'Mais, mon general, I stammered, 'il est trop vieux pour service. There was general laughter, and I felt that I had scrambled out of an awkward place.

Now, what can you do with this baby? Could you get rid of it a little? This is serious. This is a talent in danger. A fiddler, and a baby! C'est beaucoup! C'est trop!" Gyp smiled. And Monsieur Harmost, whose exterior covered much sensibility, stroked her hand. "You have grown up, my little friend," he said gravely. "Never mind; nothing is wasted. But a baby!"

Even among your most intimate friends, never address any one in a language not understood by all the others. It is as bad as whispering. Never speak to any one in company about a private affair which is not understood by others, as asking how that matter is coming on, &c.

She also rose as if to go, feeling that she might be de trop under the circumstances, but Bridgie raised a pale face, and said flatly "Don't run away, Therese, I'd rather you stayed! I knew it must come some day. It's only a little sooner than I expected." "But, ma cherie don't look like that, Bridgie dear! Your father says there is a mistake. He seemed surprised like yourself.

Finally Lettice danced a pas seul with the white rose toque perched on the back of her head, and she made such kicks and jumps that it lurched off, and landed in the water jug! At that Agnès got beside herself. "Fi! donc, Mademoiselle!" she screamed, "ça c'est trop fort!" The hat is quite spoilt, so please write and order me another one from Caroline's, like a nice, sweet, pretty, darling Mamma.

Ah! par exemple, Mademoiselle, c'est trop fort! Next you will say that I am a menteur, a fripon, a lâche! You will tell me that I have no honour, and no sense of the generosity due to a woman; that I am a brute and an imbecile," and at every epithet he dashed his hands violently out in front of him, or thrust them wildly through his disordered locks.

It made "trop de chose," to quote the great Carolus, to go out to dinner after such a full day, but the occasion was somewhat important; General Macleod and Mrs Macleod and his staff were to be entertained at the Military Police Mess.
