These were almost the only words he had uttered since he entered the cabin.
But peasants from the neighbouring country were not refused admittance; for it was the pride of Beaumanoir to render the edifying spectacle of the justice which he administered as public as possible.

He saw the pork-butcher in his back-parlour, and had a few words to say about the chapel-trust, and his looks and talk were quite edifying.

I, too, have on my bureau a bust of our great Poquelin, but Madame Desvanneaux thinks that this author's style is somewhat too pornographic, and has ordered me to replace his profane image by the more edifying one of our charitable patron, Saint Vincent de Paul." "Is it to tell me of your family jars that you honor me with this visit?" said Eugenie. "No, indeed!
The citizens of Gubbio fed the good beast, and when it died sincerely mourned it.
