"It was his choice to be, he gave it up without reluctance?" "Emile obeyed the command of his parents," Weyburn answered; and he was obedient to the veiled direction of her remark, in speaking of himself: "I had a reason, too." "One wonders!" "It would have impoverished my mother's income to put aside a small allowance for me for years. She would not have hesitated.
You know des Lupeaulx; his name is very much like yours, for he was born a Chardin; well, he would not sell his little farm of Lupeaulx for a million, he will be Comte des Lupeaulx some day, and perhaps his grandson may be a duke. You have made a false start; and if you continue in that way, it will be all over with you. See how much wiser M. Emile Blondet has been!
Rousseau in "Emile" chose a common capacity to educate, because, he said, genius will educate itself; but even genius would find its labours lightened by having been taught the use of some few tools, such as are supplied by the rudiments of a conventional education. Beth was never taught anything thoroughly; very few girls were in her day.

Emile complains bitterly, Sophy laughs; but at last, seeing that Emile is really getting angry, she looks at him with eyes full of tenderness and love, and pressing my hand, she only says these two words, but in a tone that goes to his heart, "Ungrateful man!" Emile is too stupid to understand. But I understand, and I send Emile away and speak to Sophy privately in her turn.
JEAN JACQUES. My dear Emile, what shall we do get out? EMILE. I am sure I do not know. I am tired, I am hungry, I am thirsty. I cannot go any further. JEAN JACQUES. Do you suppose I am any better off? I would cry too if I could make my breakfast off tears. Crying is no use, we must look about us. Let us see your watch; what time is it? EMILE. It is noon and I am so hungry!
She had relapsed into silence after disposing of the slovenly meal he had induced the landlady to provide. The only thing that seemed to worry her was the superfluous dirt that adorned the cups. At length she spoke: "And what sort of a place is this Barcelona?" "L'entresol de l'enfer," answered Emile curtly. "What are your people doing to allow you to come here alone?" "They don't know I am here.
As Hermione looked after them, she said to herself: "How young Emile is to-night!" At that moment she felt as if she were much older than he was. They slipped down to the sea without attracting the attention of Gaspare, got into the little boat, and rowed gently out towards Nisida.
In this second retreat Rousseau had the entrée to the palace of the Duke of Luxembourg, where he read to the friends assembled at its banquets his new production, "Émile," a singular treatise on education, not so faulty as his previous works, but still false in many of its principles, especially in regard to religion.
A few words uttered in a corridor by Emile Ollivier had made a dozen heavy operators rich, but had ruined five hundred small ones. On all hands, credit was trembling. Until one evening when he came home, "War is declared," said M. Favoral. It was but too true; and no one then had any fears of the result for France.
