It is a scene of peace and homely prosperity.
"Parties will not be wanting, monsieur le cardinal," replied Monsieur, with a bonhomie worthy of one tradesman congratulating another. "I hope not, monseigneur, and with reason, as God has been pleased to give them grace, intelligence, and beauty." During this conversation, Louis XIV., conducted by Madame, accomplished, as we have described, the circle of presentations.
Billings' shifty eyes and mouth, which its muscles could not quite keep in place. Mr. Billings also had nicked teeth. But he did his best to hide these obvious disadvantages by a Falstaffian bonhomie, for Mr. Billings was growing stout. "I tried it once or twice, my friend, when I was younger.

He made an excellent minister of Justice, but he lacked that bonhomie which so endeared Sir John Macdonald to the multitude.

Ah! the world holds her still in some of its subtle meshes." The speaker uttered this sadly; but presently, brightening up, said, with considerable bonhomie, and almost a sprightly air: "But she is a dear girl, and the Lord will yet light her candle." Alfred pulled a face as of one that drinketh verjuice unawares; but let it pass: hypercriticism was not his cue just then.
Having learned the forms and courtesies of life, having infused his whole career with a spirit of gay bonhomie, he knew that in truth he was a swaggerer; that bad taste, infamous bad taste, had marked almost everything that he had done in his life.
