True," cried Marmontel, "now you recall it to my mind, how eager he grew in disputing with Marivaux upon the distinction between aimable and amiable. His description of an amiable woman, according to the English taste, was, I recollect, made con amore; and there was a sigh at the close which came from the heart, and which showed the heart was in England or Ireland."
She longed to get away from the town, to be where she could breathe; for all this day the earth seemed too small for breath: she gasped for the sea, to be alone there. To sail with Jean Touzel was practically to be alone, for Maitresse Aimable never talked; and Jean knew Guida's ways, knew when she wished to be quiet.
At last, as the flame flashed up in the chimney, she came over to her friend, and said: "Carterette, I am going to the Dean's. Will you run and ask Maitresse Aimable to come here to me soon?"
Dow went or stayed, though he had never given her the marriage certificate. Indeed, was it not better he should go? Thereby one less would know her secret. But still an undefined fear possessed her. "Cheer thee, cheer thee, my dee-ar, my sweet dormitte," said Maitresse Aimable, patting her shoulder. "It cannot harm thee, ba su! 'Tis but a flash in the pan."
Il faut avouer qu'il est aimable'. All this I do not mean singly with regard to women as the principal object; but, with regard to men, and with a view of your making yourself considerable.
Maitresse Aimable again nodded, and her arm drew closer about Guida. There was a slight pause, then came an unsophisticated question: "Has Jean always loved you?" A short silence, and then the voice said with the deliberate prudence of an unwilling witness: "It is not the man who wears the wedding-ring."
He was deeply vexed, for the moment was critical; but the men must be recovered, and he led his followers in haste towards the camp. Yet he could not refrain from turning a moment to watch the "Aimable," as she neared the shoals; and he remarked with deep anxiety to Joutel, who was with him, that if she held that course she would soon be aground. They hurried on till they saw the Indian huts.
Your figure especially, which from its stature cannot be very majestic and interesting, should be the more attended to in point of dress as it cannot be 'imposante', it should be 'gentile, aimable, bien mise'. It will not admit of negligence and carelessness. I believe Mr. Hayes thinks that you have slighted him a little of late, since you have got into so much other company.
"And THAT because it's disinterested?" She was now, however, suddenly tired of the question. "Yes then call it that. Besides, she'll never divorce. Don't, moreover," she added, "believe everything you hear about her husband." "He's not then," Strether asked, "a wretch?" "Oh yes. But charming." "Do you know him?" "I've met him. He's bien aimable." "To every one but his wife?"
The second was a frigate called the Belle. The king made a present of this vessel to La Salle. He had furnished it with a very complete outfit, and with an armament of six guns. The third, called the Aimable, was a merchant-ship of about three hundred tons. It was heavily laden with all those implements and goods which it was deemed would be most useful in the establishment of a colony.
