The crutches and their burden passed on, kicking a little cloud of dust about the lean figure. "Un peu casse, le bonhomme" he said, as he nodded to the cripple in a tone of reflection, as if the breakage that bad befallen his humble friend were a fresh incident in his experience.
'Et vos gargouilles moyen-age, cried I; 'comme elles sont originates! 'N'est-ce pas? Elles sont bien droles! he said, smiling broadly; and the next moment, with a sudden gravity: 'Cependant il y en a une qui a une patte de casse; il faut que je voie cela. I asked if he had any model a point we much discussed.
The town of Frankfort itself had reason to rejoice at the presence of this monarch, who took their commerce under his protection, and by the most effectual measures restored the fairs, which had been greatly interrupted by the war. The Swedish army was now reinforced by ten thousand Hessians, which the Landgrave of Casse commanded.
Jean Bart died in 1702; but in Forbin, Du Casse, and others, and above all in Duguay-Trouin, he left worthy successors, the equals of any commerce-destroyers the world has ever seen.
'Tout casse, tout lasse, but change goes on for ever: We artists reverence change, monsieur; we reverence the newness of each morning, of each night, of each person, of each expression of energy.

"Long hours of reading have revealed the nature of a moraine," she said; "but, please, what is a geröll?" "A slope of loose stones. Let me see, what do they call it in Scotland and Cumberland? Ah, yes, a scree. On the French side of the Alps the same thing is known as a casse." "How well you know this country and its ways! Have you climbed many of the well known peaks?"
Benbow designed to join Rear Admiral Whetstone, but we were soon spoken by the Colchester, from which we learned that Monsieur du Casse was expected at Leogane, and making for that place, we arrived on the twenty-seventh. We saw several ships at anchor near the town, and one of them being under sail, we pursued her, and found her to be a man-of-war of fifty guns.
