Then, in utter panic, I knocked louder, at risk of disturbing the whole house. "Georges, c'est vous?" It was the drowsiest of murmurs, but few things have been so welcome to me in all my life. "Yes, Mademoiselle." Though my knees were wobbling under me I summoned presence of mind to impersonate the poor huddled mass of flesh in the garage. "Attendez donc!"
He drove the full length of the street twice, passing the Inn of the Stars both times at a lively clip, and might have gone on forever in his shuttlecock enterprise, had not the excited voice of a woman hailed him from the sidewalk. "Stop! Attendez! You! Man!" He pulled up with a jerk. The dripping figure of Marie ran up from behind. "My mistress? Where is she?" panted the girl.
"I should like to have a look at Sonitchka," he whispered. "Arrange it, Borenka, my angel. I'll shave, I'll put on your suit . . . I'll put on a straight face . . . I'll hold my tongue while she is there. Yes, yes, I will hold my tongue!" He looked round timidly towards the door, through which the women's voices were heard, checked his sobs, and said aloud: "Good-bye, young man! Attendez."
"I don't want no more stone-ballast hove at us 'long o' your callin' Miquelon boats 'footy cochins, same's you did off Le Have." "Harmon Rush he said that was the way to rise 'em. Plain United States is good enough fer me. We're all dretful short on terbakker. Young feller, don't you speak French?" "Oh, yes," said Harvey valiantly; and he bawled: "Hi! Say! Arretez vous!

I've long had a rod in pickle for him, and t'other day I applied it. Attendez. "Don't forget the pig you purchased so gallantly and confidingly.
I got the ladies of the chateaux near by to aid me; they were so interested that many came down from Paris to see the wedding. It was a pretty sight, each in a different dress! Every century since the thirteenth was represented." "Attendez a demain, La fraiche matinee, Quand mon oiseau prive Aura pris sa volee!"
I can see her as she would look up, eagerly, to listen to somebody's suggestion, or as she would motion to us to be silent, crying, 'Attendez I've got an idea. Then her pen would dash swiftly, noisily, over her paper for a little, whilst we all waited expectantly; and at last she would lean back, drawing a long breath, and tossing the pen aside, to read her paragraph out to us.
Because it was war, they did not raise their voices in shrill protest, or wave their skinny arms at imperturbable men who said, "Attendez, s'il vous plait!" with damnable iteration, or break the windows of Government offices in which bewildering regulations were drawn up in miles of red tape.
With matchless patience she looked one after another in the face, said, "Attendez, attendez, messieurs, s'il vous plait;" and then, calling me down, bid me go forth and beg of my neighbors as much food as I could.
