Of all there assembled, the Parisian feelings of Mademoiselle Viefville were the most excited; for to her, the scene was one of pure delights, with the noble panorama of forest-clad mountains, the mirror-like lake, the overshadowing oaks, and the tangled brakes of the adjoining woods. "Mais, vraiment ceci surpasse les Tuileries, même dans leur propre genre!" she exclaimed, with energy.
She showed a set of defiant white teeth, and to her proud white throat she gave a boastful curve. Was it her fault if ces dames knew what comfort and cleanliness were? if they preferred "des chambres garnies avec gout, vraiment artistiques" to rooms fit only for peasants? Ces dames had just come from Paris; doubtless, they were not yet accustomed to provincial customs aux moeurs provinciales.
"Ma chere, Monsieur Y devient vraiment un medium de premiere force!" In moments of great excitement she always addressed me in French. But I also was too excited to control my feelings, and so I answered rather unkindly: "Please stop this nonsense, Miss X . You know I don't believe in spiritualism. Poor Mr. Y , was not he upset?"
He requested a presentation, took both hands affectionately, and after conversing half an hour led her to his duchess, to whom he said afterward, "Mais, mon Dieu! que Jérome a manqué son coup. Quelle grâce, quelle beauté, quel esprit! Et ma pauvre nièce! il faut être juste; jamais ne pourrait-elle régner comme cette belle Américaine, qui par tout droit est vraiment la reine.
I have read in a capable French paper that "l'on est heureux d'avoir pu applaudir une oeuvre vraiment noble, vraiment pure," in the play of M. Bataille; and I believe it. Are those quite the words one would use about the play in English? They are not quite the words I would use about the play in English.
These same prophets have high and mighty protectors in Berlin; the police will not dare to keep them long under arrest. The Princess Amelia will demand her fortune-teller." "Vraiment, monsieur le comte," said the Frenchman, "you seem extraordinarily well acquainted with all these intrigues?" "I observe closely," said Ranuzi, with a meaning smile. "I am very silent therefore hear a great deal."
He would come for her in a few minutes. She was wondering very much how exactly she would appear to him, how old, how good-looking or plain. She had tried, with Cecile's help, to look her very best. Cecile had declared the result was a success. "Miladi est merveilleusement belle ce soir, mais vraiment belle!" But a maid, of course, would not scruple to lie about such a matter.
A dernier ressort, vraiment! for my choice was that, or cooling my feet on the burning pavement au naturel; I who have such a terror of any one seeing my naked foot! And this is thanks to war and blockade! Not a decent shoe in the whole community! N'importe! "Better days are coming, we'll all" have shoes after a while perhaps!
He designates her only as a Polish lady of noble birth, whose remarkable vocal powers were worthy of your majesty's admiration." "Do you hear that?" said Frederick to Kaunitz. "Do you hear that? The French plenipotentiary sends this prima donna to sing before the emperor. Vraiment, it seems that France is disgusted with war, and intends to try her hand at sentiment.
"Come, I say, Vic," said Ian, roused by this from a comfortable nap, "if you were a hyena there might be some excuse for you, but being only a man forgive me, a boy you ought to have more sense than to disturb your friends so." "Oui, yes; dat is troo. Vraiment, it is too bad," growled Rollin, sitting up and stretching himself. "Howsomewhatever, it is time to rise. Oui!"
