"Bo -tom," repeated the old negro. "Ou diable est ca?" Here a general consultation was held, by which it appeared that such a port had never been heard of in the West Indies. "Gustave Adolphe, demandez-lui si c'est un port Anglois." "I say Bo -tom English port?" "No," replied Newton, amused with the mistake; "I should rather call it neutral." "C'est un port neutral, monsieur."
It seems to hang upon his mind, as if he had been out-braved. His anxiety, as might well be expected from such a temper, was excessive, while Clifton was in danger: but he seems to repent now, that he did not follow the mad example. Parbleu! Madame, je suis Provencal; on dit que j'ai la tete un peu chaude; mais Messieurs les Anglois vont diablement vite aux epreuves!
L'Abbe etant un profond politique, la tourna sur l'administration, quand on fut au desert: et comme par caractere, par humeur, par l'habitude d'admirer Tite Live, il ne prise que le systeme republicain, il se mit a vanter l'excellence des republiques; bien persuade que le savant Anglois l'approuveroit en tout, et admireroit la profondeur de genie qui avoit fait deviner tous ces avantages a un Francois.
As the old man was examining my sores, he discovered on my arm a handsome impression of the Crucifix that had been pricked in with indelible ink, in the East Indies some years before, which he kissed with apparent rapture, saying to me, "Anglois very much of the christian," supposing me to be a Roman Catholic.
An enemy of Frontenac writes, "Ce n'est pas sa presence qui fit prendre la fuite aux Anglois, mais le grand nombre de Francois auxquels ils virent bien que celuy de leurs guerriers n'etoit pas capable de faire tete." Remarques sur l'Oraison Funebre de feu M. de Frontenac. The following is a literal copy of a specimen of this paper money, which varied in value from two shillings to ten pounds:
Ce sont des héros, Tous nos généraux, Et Montcalm et Lévis, Et Bourlamaque aussi." "Mars, qui les engendra Pour l'honneur de la France, D'abord les anima De sa haute vaillance, Et les transporta Dans le Canada, Où l'on voit les François Culbuter les Anglois." The other effusion of the military muse is in a different strain, "en style des poissardes de Paris."
I wouldnt deceive you or any man and to my drinking its about the best molasses that come out of a sugar-bush. Mr. Le Quoi has offered you ten pence, said young Edwards. The manufacturer stared at the speaker with an air of great freedom, but made no reply. Oui, said the Frenchman, ten penny. Jevausraner cie, monsieur: ah! mon Anglois! je l'oublie toujours.
Je lui ai cette obligation entre les autres, de m' auoir non seulement mis en main cc Livre en anglois, mais encore le Manuscrit du Sieur Thomas D'Anan, gentilhomme Eccossois, recommandable pour sa vertu, sur la version duquel j' advoue que j' ay tiré le plan de la mienne."
We are as much now in the opposite extreme, and in general so pleased with the peace, that I could not help being struck with a passage I read lately in Pasquier, an old French author, who says, "that in the time of Francis I. the French used to call their creditors 'Des Anglois, from the facility with which the English gave credit to them in all treaties, though they had broken so many."
But if it is not too far to come to Versailles to eat your soup with me, I beg, before you leave France, I may have the pleasure of knowing you retract your opinion, or, in what manner you support it. But, if you do support it, Monsieur Anglois, said he, you must do it with all your powers, because you have the whole world against you.
