David fell silent after a while, stiffening under a presentiment which was soon realised. He heard his sister's wretched lot discussed with shouts of laughter the chances of Brenart's escape from the mistress he had already wearied of and deceived the perils of 'la Montjoie's' jealousy. 'Il veut bien se debarrasser d'elle mais on ne plaisante pas avec une tigresse! said one of the speakers.
The fifth bill forbade the admission into the hospital of any sick person who on entering did not deposit a pound sterling to pay for his funeral, in case of death.

"Father would say I was 'fey, and should pay for all this fun with a bad headache or some misfortune. Come, give me the French 'David Copperfield, and let me read you how 'Barkis Veut Bien, and 'Mrs. Gummidge a Pense de l'Ancien."

"En vain de son train ordinaire" "On la veut desaccoutumer, "Quelque chose qu'on puisse faire "On ne fauroit la reformer." La Fontaine.
