She laughed for pleasure in his joke, and also for unconscious joy in the gay New York weather, in which there was no 'arriere pensee' of the east wind.
Boldly I performed the chasse en avant and chasse en arriere glissade, until, when it came to my turn to move towards her and I, with a comic gesture, showed her the poor glove with its crumpled fingers, she laughed heartily, and seemed to move her tiny feet more enchantingly than ever over the parquetted floor.
"What an unspeakable boon what an overpowering blessing! Let any man make a calculation of his existence, subtracting the hours in which he has been thoroughly happy really and entirely at his ease, without one arriere pensee to mar his enjoyment without the most infinitesimal cloud to overshadow the brightness of his horizon.
And Tonio Kröger, with lowered head and gloomy brow, laid his hand on the hands of the four ladies, on that of Inga Holm, and danced "moulinet." All around there arose a giggling and laughing. M.

'Ay, said others, 'and then let the Saracens and their sultan tremble.
Then Cedric looked at him as if he suspected some arriere pensee. "No, he has lost a good bit of money lately invested it in some rotten concern or other. Jacobi says he can't afford to have a wife." "I should have thought he would have said the same of you," rather pointedly. "He must be aware that you have only an allowance from your sisters?"

The seigniors received liberal remuneration for the abolition of the lods et ventes, droit de banalité, and other rights declared legal by the court.
Therefore, at the moment when Gering was pressing Iberville hard, the Frenchman suddenly, with a trick of the Italian school, threw his left leg en arriere and made a lunge, which ordinarily would have spitted his enemy, but at the critical moment one word came ringing clearly through the locked door.
