"But she would soon find some one else to take my place?" "Ce n'est pas ca, ce n'est pas ca," again interrupted De Griers. "Que diable!

I am not yet enough English, my friend. We make marriages of convenance in our country, que diable, and what follows follows; but no scandal afterwards!

Once Calcutta was in extremis, it was dying of the blues; the East India company was rich but not amusing; with all its treasure it could not buy one smile for Calcutta, so Paris sent Robert le Diable, La Muette de Portici, a drama or two of Hugo and Dumas. Calcutta became convalescent and recovered.
"Diable, Monsieur le Comte! Germans transformed the world! What revolutions do you speak of?"
