"Are you there, Maurice?" called the Comte. But strangely enough there came no answer to his call. M. de St. Genis must have fallen back some little distance in the rear, else he surely would have heard something of the clatter, the shouts and the swearing which were attending the present unfortunate contretemps. "Maurice! where are you?" called the Comte again. And still no answer.
How he could have ridden within arm's reach of her through all the daylight hours of a long summer day remained as one of Ford's unanswered enigmas; but it required an accident and a most embarrassing contretemps to make him aware of her existence. The accident was one of the absurd sort.
Seriously, I know that your house may be full, or some other contretemps may make it impracticable for me just now to invade you. If it be so, tell me, my dear Richard, frankly, as my movements are perfectly free, and my time all my own, so that I can arrange my visit to suit your convenience. Yours, &c.,
Marguerite was giving thanks for hospitality. They left. George was singularly uplifted by the fact that she never concealed from him those designs upon which Mr. Buckingham Smith had not been allowed to gaze.

He hoped to the last to take a copy with him, but was disappointed by some contretemps connected with the binding about which he was as particular as if it had been itself a poem: he had to pack his portmanteau without it. Continuously almost, on his way to the station, he kept repeating to himself: "Is it to be the last ride, or only another?"
"It is truly thoughtful of you," he remarked, as I lifted the lid of the basket and revealed the contents. "I only hope our friend will not spoil our picnic by arriving in the middle of it." The better to avoid any such contretemps, we set about our meal immediately with very good appetites. When we had finished, I do not know how Forrest felt, but I was confoundedly drowsy.
"The affair is not at all so plain sailing as I at first believed." "No. It is a serious contretemps that you had to leave Paris, Molly," agreed her well-dressed visitor.

It was this district he was seeking, and it was for this reason his search had led him away from the main gate of the city which he knew would not be located in a poor district. He attempted to open the door only to find that it resisted his every effort it was locked upon the outside. Here indeed was a sorry contretemps. Turan the panthan scratched his head.
So saying, out he bundled, and, crushing through the fern-grown woodbiney fence, darted into the wood in a way that astonished our hero. Presently the chop, chop, chop of the axe revealed the mystery. 'By the powers, the fool's at his sticks! exclaimed Sponge, disgusted at the contretemps. 'Mister Jogglebury! roared he, 'Mister Jogglebury, we shall never catch up the hounds at this rate!
"Glad to see your knock didn't lay you up." Hunterleys disregarded his wife's glance. He was suddenly furious. "All Monte Carlo seems to be gossiping about that little contretemps," Draconmeyer continued. "It was a crude sort of hold-up for a neighbourhood of criminals, but it very nearly came off. Will you have some tea with us?" "Do, Henry," his wife begged. Once again he hesitated.
