And they asked daily when we should depart, making great speed to help vs vnto our lading, and shewing themselues most seruiceable vnto vs. The 11. of Ianuary 1599. we in the foure shippes laden with pepper departed from Bantam homeward. The 13. we arriued at Sumatra. The 19. we shaped our course directly for Holland. The 3. of April we had sight of Capo de buona esperanza.
As the hour for the "drink gelt," or "buona mana," approaches, however, he becomes gracious and smiling.
"I give it in all its simplicity: 'Francesi non sono tutti ladroni, ma buona parte'; which means: 'All Frenchmen are not thieves, but " "A good part are?" concluded Roland. "Yes, 'Buonaparte," replied Alfred de Barjols. Scarcely had these insolent words left the young aristocrat's lips than the plate with which Roland was playing flew from his hands and struck De Barjols full in the face.
Comparing man and woman generally, one may say that woman would not have the genius for adornment, if she had not the instinct for the SECONDARY role. He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee. From old Florentine novels moreover, from life: Buona femmina e mala femmina vuol bastone.
Moreover, he had not much stomach for driving a bargain with the baronet; so in the end Sir George too was set aside. There remained only the Buona Figliuola the girl herself. 'I might pay my court to her, the tutor thought, 'but she would have a spite against me for last night's work, and I doubt I could not do much.
It might be argued, perhaps, against the perfection of the passage, that a good "conscience," and a man's "knowing himself to be pure," are a tautology; for Dante himself has already used that word; "Conscienzia m'assicura; La buona compagnia che l'uom francheggia Sotto l'osbergo," &c. A magnificent image!
After we passed the line, we had the wind still at Eastsoutheast, which carried vs along the coast of Brasil 100 leagues from the maine, til we came in 26 degrees to the Southward of the line, where the wind came vp to the North, at which time we did account, that the Cape of Buona esperansa did beare off vs East and by South, betwixt 900 and 1000 leagues.
It is also possible that Alexander's ambition may have urged him to dissolve the marriage to the end that she might be free to be used again as a pawn in his far-reaching game. 1 "Che non gli faceva buona compagnia." Certainly some terrible panic must have urged him, and this rather lends colour to the story told by Almerici in the Memorie di Pesaro.
He kissed Hermione's hand again, but he did not try to take Vere's. "Good-night," Hermione said. A glance at Artois had told her much that he was thinking. "Good-night, Monsieur Emile," said Vere. "Good-night, Marchese. Buona pesca!" She turned and followed her mother into the house. "Che simpatica!" It was the Marchesino's voice, breathing the words through a sigh: "Che simpatica Signorina!"
I recall, for instance, a tough old Sergeant Major, with twenty-seven years' service with our Artillery all over the world, an utterly unromantic person. He and I were bringing back my working party on the 10th of August from Versa to Rubbia in a lorry. The men were singing loudly, and greeted an Italian sentry on Peteano bridge with cheerful cries of "Buona sera, Johnny!"
