In a lecture on the Supplices of Aeschylus, I have heard him say tout bonnement, "I can't construe that what do you make of it, A.B.?" turning to the supposed best scholar in the lecture; or, when an objection was started to his mode of getting through a difficulty, "Ah!

"What you propose to me, then, is to accompany you tout bonnement to your new post. What you propose to me is to pack up and start?" "You put it in a nutshell." But Peter's smile was strained. "You're touching it has its charm. But you can't get anything in any of the Americas, you know. I'm assured there are no medals to be picked up in those parts which are therefore 'strange' indeed.
"We simply met in the garden, and we talked a bit." "Tout bonnement! And pray what did you say?" "I said I should take the liberty of introducing her to my admirable aunt."
