After a few minutes rest, rather ashamed of my feeling tired, I went up to her, and said, 'Ancora sei, a poi basta, se non volete vedermi a morire. She would have answered me if she had been able, but she wore one of those cruel masks which forbid speech. But a pressure of her hand which nobody could see made me guess all I wanted to know.
He will strike as much venison as ever, and more of other game. I know what I say: but basta: Let us drink." "What other game?" said the little friar. "I hope he won't poach among our partridges." "Monstrous! and starve us on fast-day," said the little friar. "But that is not the game I mean," said brother Michael.
And as Carmen would have continued to pray, he rebuked her fears, and bade her try to obtain some rest: "Basta ya de plegarios, querida! vete y duerme." His tone, though kindly, was imperative; and Carmen, accustomed to obey him, laid herself down by his side, and soon, for very weariness, slept.
Nous n'irons plus aux bois! Basta! But to return. There she stood, terror-stricken, petrified, like her who of old turned her back on Zoar and beheld the incandescent hurricane of hail smite the City of the Plain! She was dressed in white muslin, joli comme un coeur, with a myriad frills and flounces and knots of pale-coloured ribbon.

"Ecco!" he said, once more, as he buttoned the flap of the pocket as a precaution against thieves. And with that final exclamation he dismissed all serious thoughts. "Mangiamo, signorino!" he said. "Ora basta!"
Adone, his understudy, took his place. My own share in the mummery was humble and confusing. In toga and cothurnus I had to read a pompous prologue, and did it amid shouts of "Basta! basta!" from the audience. I don't believe that I was more thankful than they were when I had done. The less I say about the rest of the evening and night the better.
If I thought you might influence him for good but no, it is too risky. One doesn't like to speak so of a brother, Piers, but I feel it my duty to warn you against poor Alec. Basta!" That night Piers did not close his eyes. The evening's excitement and the unusual warmth of the weather enhanced the feverishness due to his passionate thoughts.
"And once I was called Bella." "Ages ago! Basta! All things have their end. Do take those eyes of yours off my face; they were always so bright! and really now they are perfect burning-glasses!
