"I am infinitely obliged by your invitation, but to-day I dine with the Comte de Beauvilliers to meet some of the Corps Diplomatique. I must make good my place in the salons, since you so clearly show me that I have no chance of one in the Legislature unless " "Unless what?" "Unless there happen one of those revolutions in which the scum comes uppermost." "No fear of that.
He's down, old Beau is, sence the time he owned his blooded pacer and dined with the Corps Diplomatique; Beau's down sence then; but don't call the old feller hard names. We take it back, don't we? we take them words back?" "There's a angel somewhere," said Lowndes Cleburn, "even in a Washington bummer, which responds to a little chap on crutches with a clear voice.
Pepperill, approached, bowed and, twisting his purple mustache, addressed the court: "Your Excellence: I haf to zay dat dees papaire eet haf articles on zis affair ze memkaha zat are not diplomatique." Judge Wetherell blinked at him. "Who's this man?" he demanded. "That's the interpreter," explained W.M.P. "Interpreter!" answered the court. "I can't understand a word he says!"
It wants many articles which the title would induce us to seek in it. But the articles which it contains are well written.

It is alleged that a gentleman on President Faure's staff, on hearing that Dr. Leyds had gone to Berlin to consult a physician, inquired what the ailment was? 'Mal de gorge, was the reply. 'Ah, said the officer, 'mal de gorge diplomatique. And that was the opinion in the Transvaal, albeit differently expressed.
At any rate, that which was only slightly known, that which was not matter of conversation even between members of the corps diplomatique, two guests, distinguished by no uniform, no decoration, at this reception in the New Palace, discussed in a low voice, and with apparently very correct information.
On the central table, reserved for the princes, princesses, and members of the corps diplomatique, glittered an epergne of inestimable price, brought from London, and around this chef-d'oeuvre of chased gold reflected under the light of the lusters a thousand pieces of most beautiful service from the manufactories of Sevres.
