Fort Russell, Fort Et Cetera, we are inexact. They are not fortified." "Cantonment Et Cetera would be a trifle lengthy, wouldn't it?" put in the Doctor, his endurance on the wane. "Perhaps; but technically descriptive of our Western posts. The Germans criticise these military laxities."
All the old songs of mock pastoral times come singing in the ears, "It happened on a day, in the merry month of May," "Shepherds all and maidens fair," "It was a lover and his lass," "Phoebus arise, and paint the skies," et cetera.
Witness the now ways of rallies, fougades, entrenchments, attacks, lodgments, and a long et cetera of new inventions which want names, practised in sieges and encampments; witness the new forts of bombs and unheard-of mortars, of seven to ten ton weight, with which our fleets, standing two or three miles off at sea, can imitate God Almighty Himself and rain fire and brimstone out of heaven, as it were, upon towns built on the firm land; witness also our new-invented child of hell, the machine which carries thunder, lightning, and earthquakes in its bowels, and tears up the most impregnable fortification.
Cetera jam fabulosa: Hellusios et Oxionas ora hominum vultusque, corpora atque artus ferarum, gerere: quod ego, ut incompertum, in medium relinquam. Cap. 1. Scribendi clarorum virorum vitam mos antiquus, 2. sub malis principibus periculosus, 3. sub Trajano in honorem Agricolae repetitus a Tacito, qui non eloquentiam, at pietatem pollicetur. 4.

"Will you come and see me in Paris?" "If you will allow me." "No, I don't allow you." "And why not? great heavens!" "In the first place, I don't think I am going back to Paris myself." "That's a good reason. And where do you expect to go, madam?" "I don't know. Let us make a pedestrian tour somewhere, you and I together; will you?" "I should like nothing better. When shall we start?" Et cetera.
The whole constituted one of those record-covers which he had been taught to make for the papers of special enterprises in his profession.

The record-cover completed, he surveyed it front and back with satisfaction, tried the ties, read the inscription over once more, and opened it.
He looked away from me, but I recited my speech about thirty roubles, et cetera, et cetera, of which, at first, he failed to catch the meaning. Even when I had explained matters to him more fully, he only burst out laughing, and said nothing.
"Friends, then, let it be," said Charles. "Now," holding out his hand, "do you promise never, et cetera, et cetera, without first consulting your friends?" Ruth put her hand into his. "I do."
