Tout au milieu de ce bel exercise, je m'avisai de faire une espece de pronostic pour calmer mon inquietude. Je me dis je m'en vais jeter cette pierre contre l'arbre qui est vis-a-vis de moi: si je le touche, signe de salut: si je le manque, signe de damnation.
"Much better than that espece de poule mouillee I already forget his name who played last week. Oh a wet hen he was more like a drowned duck.

"It's more than the audience did," said the miserable Andrew. The audience! Of Avignon!
La Compagnie s'assemble tous les Jeudis dans la Cathedrale, a porte fermee, et la elles se disent les unes aux autres tout ce qu'elles on appris. C'est une espece d'Inquisition contre toutes les personnes qui ne sont pas unies avec les Jesuites.

Rapport de Courtois sur les Papiers de Robespierre.
These two men were bitter and upright and narrow, like the worst of Scotsmen, and indeed, upon my heart, I fancy they were worse. The priest snorted aloud like a battle-horse. 'Et vous pretendez mourir dans cette espece de croyance? he demanded; and there is no type used by mortal printers large enough to qualify his accent. I humbly indicated that I had no design of changing.
Mais Napoleon Empereur, c'est autre chose, je l'extirperai du sol de l'Europe. Et celui qui parla ainsi toujours sut garder sa promesse, celle-la comme toutes les autres.
