I said to you "Monsieur, if I believed that any modest young woman of my acquaintance was in danger of being courted by a man of doubtful character, do you know what I would do?

LENOIR: The sentiment does you honor, Monsieur; but I do not see the application, MULLER: Vous ne le trouvez pas, Monsieur?
"Permettez," said Monsieur, looking at the card. "Ah, c'est impossible, ma chere," continued he, laughing. "Madame Turnbull se trompait; elle voudrait dire Beignets de pommes."

The only civilized person was a large black baker's dog, who, like Gil Blas's first travelling acquaintance, seemed free of the house, and did the honours of the supper to us with an assiduity as disinterested, "Ah, messieurs," said his civil master, when we stept across the street in the morning, to return the dog's visit in form, "je suis charmé que vous trouvez l'Abri si beau; je suis au desespoir qu'il ne soit pas chez lui a present, mais je vais le chercher partout afin qu'il vous fasse ses hommages."

Fanny and Harriet danced with two gentlemen who were of our party, and they all danced on till dewfall, when the lamps little glasses full of oil and a wick suspended to the branches of the trees were lighted, and we returned to La Celle, where we ate ice and sat in a circle, playing trouvez mon ami mighty like "why, when, and where" and then played loto till twelve.
