And try to toddle to bed without telling me of which cute character in Dickens I remind you, because I am cuter than any of them, and if I stay in this tight frock another second I can't answer for the consequences. Oui, Josephine, entrez! Good-night, dear aunt. Happy dreams!"
I am very sensible that, at your age, 'vous y entrez pour peu de chose, et meme souvent pour rien, et que vous y passerez meme quelques mauvais quart-d'heures'; but no matter; you will be a solid gainer by it: you will see, hear, and learn the turn and manners of those people; you will gain premature experience by it; and it will give you a habit of engaging and respectful attentions.
The first two bars of the Fantaisie describe these rappings, just as the third and fourth stand for Chopin's musical invitation, entrez, entrez! This is all repeated until the doors wide open swinging admit Liszt, George Sand, Madame Camille Pleyel nee Mock, and others.
"La!" and the Nubian pointed down a long, dark passage beyond which there seemed to be the glimmer of green palms and other foliage. "Elle vous attend, Monsieur Armand Gervase! Entrez! Suivez!" Slowly Gervase passed in, and the great tomb-like door closed upon him with a heavy clang.
Monsieur Riel had been all this while pacing up and down his room. A tap came upon his door. "Entrez. Ah, it is you, mon adjutant!" "Oui, mon president." "What tidings?" "C'est accompli. The court-martial has found the prisoner guilty; and he is condemned to be shot at one o'clock this day." "Monsieur is expeditious! Monsieur is zealous. C'est bon, c'est bon; merci, Monsieur."
Whereupon touter number two shrieks out a torrent of abuse, and we push on, leaving them to settle their differences after their own fashion. At the next booth we are accosted by a burly fellow daubed to the eyes with red and blue paint, and dressed as an Indian chief. "Entrez, entrez, Messieurs et Mesdames" he cries, flourishing a war-spear some nine feet in length.
Marie trifled with the cat and got one hand well scratched for his trouble, but in five minutes there came a knocking at the door. He laughed a little. "Michel grows ceremonious when it's a question of food," he said. "Entrez, mon vieux!" The door opened, and Ste. Marie caught his breath. "Michel is busy," said Coira O'Hara, "so I have brought your coffee."
"Certainly, sir," replied Cop, dashing up the nearest stairway. "Entrez," replied an even voice to Cop's unusually respectful knock. Then the voice rapidly corrected itself, "Enter, come in," it said in English. "How about prayers?" asked Cop. "Perhaps you're tired and don't care to come?" "I'll go," replied the Indian, and followed noiselessly where Billings led.
They are old, old nobody knows how old they are. "Entrez, Madame," and the old woman rises with difficulty, leaning on her cane, and draws forward a chair. "Bonjour, Madame," in far-away tones from the aged husband, too feeble to move alone. I linger for some time with these two dear souls for they are scarcely more than souls.
A dozen other muzzles were pointed, and in a far briefer space of time than it takes to relate it, the two priests lay weltering in their blood, pierced each by half a dozen bullets. "Clear away these corpses," shouted the chief, "and be ready for the next." There was soon another knock at the door, and the same wolfish voice replied as before, saying, "Entrez."
