He represented the State. Speaking haughtily through his nose, and braying like a dromedary, he extended to Perrotin an invitation from the Minister to preside over a solemn contest of embattled intellectuals from ten nations, in the great amphitheatre of the Sorbonne "an imprecatory meeting," he called it. Perrotin promptly accepted, and professed himself overcome by the honour.

"To see Belle-bouche," sighed Jacques. Sir Asinus tore his hair. "Then I'll go too," he cried. "I've the last horse at the Raleigh," observed Jacques with melancholy pleasure.
Moreover he implored me, if the chance should ever come my way, to pursue experiments with /Taduki/ fumes and let him know the results. Here our conversation came to an end for suddenly a band that was braying near by, struck up "God save the Queen," and we hastily exchanged cards and parted.
How they view'd and review'd us as we passed over the rivulet at the bottom of that little valley! and when we climbed over that hill, and were just getting out of sight good God! what a braying did they all set up together! Prithee, shepherd! who keeps all those Jack Asses?.... Heaven be their comforter What! are they never curried? Are they never taken in in winter? Bray bray bray.

Drew retreated to the roofed entrance of the Four Jacks.
One or another, every now and then, raises its head aloft, and so holds it, while giving utterance to a series of cries as hoarse and long-drawn as the braying of an ass, to which sound it bears a ludicrous resemblance. The others, looking off toward the kelp, then see more of the birds.
I'll not wear these things without a mask." He snatched at the head of the owl, who ducked under his arm and escaped. "Go then. This is better. Mark, the illustrious, was an ass." He made a dive for the head of his braying friend and barely missed him. "Come. We waste time. Cleopatra awaits him at 'la Fourchette d'or'; all our Cleopatras await us there." "Surely?" "Surely.
The whole story came to be known and spread abroad through the villages of the neighbourhood; and the devil, who never sleeps, with his love for sowing dissensions and scattering discord everywhere, blowing mischief about and making quarrels out of nothing, contrived to make the people of the other towns fall to braying whenever they saw anyone from our village, as if to throw the braying of our regidors in our teeth.
