"You'd better not let him hear you talking like that!" "An contraire, as we say in the Gay City, I'm going to make a point of letting him hear me talk like that! Adjust the impression that I fear any Goble in shining armor, because I don't. I propose to speak my mind to him. I would beard him in his lair, if he had a beard. Well, I'll clean-shave him in his lair. That will be just as good.
So I says as perlite as possible, "None of that, old fellur catch hold. I fetched 'em for you, and I'm bound to see you eat 'em." "Sare, you are too kind," said he; and he vent to vork again. Arter a spell, he stopped. "Don't like 'em hey?" says I, pretendin' to be mad. "I sall prove ze contraire," said he, in a kind of die-away manner, and he went into 'em agin.
Oh, have pity on the faithful heart which, since ten years, change not, but forget heaven and earth for you. Now in the peril of the life, hidden away, that absence from the sight of you make his seclusion the more worse than death. Halas! I pine! Not other ten years of despair can I commence. Accept this love. If so I will live for you, but if to the contraire, I must die for you.
Do you think that the sober gin-horse routine of existence could inspire a man with life, and love, and joy could fire him with enthusiasm, or melt him with pathos, equal to the genius of your book? No! no! Whenever I want to be more than ordinary in song to be in some degree equal to your diviner airs do you imagine I fast and pray for the divine emanation? Tout au contraire!
"One troub'," Dubroca said, "'tis that all those three stone' and all I can rim-ember even that story of M'sieu' Smith about the fall of the city 1862 they all got in them somewhere, alas! the nigger. The publique they are not any longer pretty easy to fascinate on that subjec'." "Ho!" Beloiseau rejoined, "au contraire, he's an advantage!
Upon which every one but Jennings did laugh out: but he, au contraire, began to look very black; and no one can tell what would have happened, had he not cast his eyes by accident on his watch, on which he coloured, closed his book, and instanter sent the whole lecture out of the room.
"Mais au contraire!" lisped Volochine, as he waved his hand in a finicking fashion and gazed ardently at Lida. "Come! come! no pretty speeches!" said Lida, coquettishly, while to Sarudine her whole being seemed to say: "You think that I am wretched, don't you? and utterly crushed? But I am nothing of the kind, my friend. Look at me!"
The most singular circumstance, however, connected with impotency is, that for a long time there existed exclusively in France a particular kind of proof called The Judicial Congress. In the old jurisprudence of that country but little value was attached to moral proofs; all was made to depend upon material ones, which were made by witnesses. The whole enquiry after truth was made to depend upon the establishment of the fact, and, too frequently, the administrators of the law were not over-scrupulous as to the nature of the testimony by which it was to be proved. Provided there were such testimony, no matter of whatever kind, no matter how contradictory to common sense, justice pronounced itself satisfied, for, relying upon this testimony it was enabled to pronounce its decision, and this was all it required. Hence all those personal examinations of litigants, so often practised formerly, and hence the judge, whatever might be the nature of the suit or complaint, ordered a report to be made by parties chosen to that effect, and who were called experts or examiners. This mode of procedure was employed in cases in which a woman applied for a divorce from her husband on the ground of impotency: hence arose the Congrés, in which the justice of the application was to be proved in the presence of examiners appointed to give in a report upon the case to the court. "Ce qui est encore plus honteux," says a writer of the 17th century, "c'est qu'un quelques procés, les hommes ont visité la femme, et au contraire, les femmes ont été admises
Nous verrons. Je te dis qu'elle est amoureuse de Bruce. 'He is very devoted to her, I know, said Edith, 'and I daresay he's a little in love with her in a way. But she 'C'est tout le contraire, chere. Lui, c'est moins; il est flatte. Il la trouve une femme intelligente, he laughed. 'Mais elle! Tu est folle de ne pas voir ca, Edith. Enfin! Si ca l'amuse?
On sait que les puissances mysterieuses qui president a l'annocchiatura ont la mauvaise habitude d'executer le contraire de nos souhaits." Perhaps our familiar habit of calling our children "scamp" and "rascal," when we are caressing them, may be founded on a worn-out superstition of the same kind.
