Reads Byron, Tupper, and Sylvanus Cobb, junior, while her mother makes the puddings. Five of the seven verses were written off-hand; the other two took a week, that is, were hanging round the desk in a ragged, forlorn, unrhymed condition as long as that. All poets will tell you just such stories. C'est le DERNIER pas qui coute.
When, therefore, the invitation to Callonby arrived, a grave council of war was summoned, to deliberate upon the mode of transit, for the honour could not be declined, "coute qui coute."
Blood and brutalities and slave-driving? You talked about l'entresol de l'enfer, but I'm beginning to think I've stepped over the threshold." "Ce n'est que le premier pas qui coute!" Arithelli bit her lips. "I don't feel in the mood for arguing now. I wish you would leave me alone."
We will draw the curtain over the scene of the Spartan mother we hope you belong to that nearly extinct class which is to follow. Let us suppose all differences settled, the habit ostensibly given up, and your darling, grown more honest or more artful, the result is the same to your blissful ignorance, studiously pursuing his way until he enters college.

Les operations de l'Amiral Courbet au Tonkin et en Chine montrent que notre marine se maintient a la hauteur de sa vieille reputation; elle le doit aux traditions, a l'esprit de corps, aux sentiments de respect pour les chefs qui s'est conserve chez elle tandis qu'il disparaissait ou s'affaiblissait partout ailleurs. Mais cette demonstration nous coute bien cher.

She made a sign to her husband, as if to encourage him in cutting the enemy out of the commission, coute que coute; then she glanced ironically at the two Cruchots, who looked chap-fallen.
The little Frenchman across the narrow lane of water dividing the ships, chattered excuses, all sympathy and shrugged shoulders. "Ah, I so grieve. Pain! pain! terrible, n'est-ce-pas? But what would you, my Captain? It is no fault of mine. The Emperor's orders. 'I trust you, my Commodore, says he. 'Coute que coute. "Emperor! about as much a h'Emperor as you are Commodore!
Then the attraction began and suddenly Well, we needn't go into that any more; but with your character it was plain that you would push matters on that you would give her no time that you would speak, coute qua coute that you would fling caution and delay to the winds and that all in a moment Lucy Foster would find herself confronted by a great decision that she was not at all prepared to make.
