The country shall not be disgraced in my person, and having stated why I think I owe him no satisfaction, I will at the same time most willingly give it to him. "Il sera reçu, Biribi, A la façon de Barbaru, Mon ami." I have written to Will Clerk to stand my friend if necessary. He has mettle in him, and thinks of my honour as well as my safety. August 28.
"Apparemment ce captaine Anglais est un pen sans facon Voila qui est poli!" whispered Mademoiselle Viefville. "These commanders of vessels of war are little kings," quietly observed Mr. Effingham, who had unavoidably noticed the whole procedure. The gig was soon clear of the ship, and both the gentlemen repeated their adieus to those on deck.
But will they resist your power, joined to that of the House of Bourbon? On les y recevra, Biribi, A la facon de Barbari, Mon ami. If you were but to march a body of troops to Cleves, do not you awaken terror and respect, without apprehension that any one dare make war on you?
"Will you both come and dine with me to-night sans facon, there will be nobody else except Agatha and Mr. Heigham?" asked Mrs. Carr. "We shall be delighted," said Lord Minster. "Au revoir, then," nodded Lady Florence to Arthur, and they separated. When, after lunching and seeing round the ship, Miss Terry and Arthur found themselves in the steam launch waiting for Mrs.
Should Master Holt for I believe that is my predecessor's name should he prove amiable, I may consent to go a little in your debt, and pay him for whatever log-chopping he has done. If otherwise, by the Lady of Guadalupe! you remember our old Mexican shibboleth he shall be cleared out of his clearing sans facon. Perhaps we have been wasting words upon an ideal existence!
Aussitot que Lass arriva Dans notre bonne ville, Monsieur le Regent publia Que Lass serait utile Pour retablir la nation. La faridondaine! la faridondon. Mais il nous a tous enrich!, Biribi! A la facon de Barbari, Mort ami! Ce parpaillot, pour attirer Tout l'argent de la France, Songea d'abord a s'assurer De notre confiance. Il fit son abjuration. La faridondaine! la faridondon!
I may speak of it as my place, but that is merely a facon de parler; it isn't necessary to explain to everybody that it's my mother's. It's my home, and that's enough. It's a dear old place. I can't tell you how glad I am that you're going to see it." "I'm very glad, too," said the other, with unaffected sincerity.
Leaving this point to be settled by the worthy part of our British matrons, let us return to the Parisian ball, from which I have been led into a little digression. The dancing continued in this manner, that is, French country-dances and waltzes alternately, till four o'clock, when soup was brought round to all the company. This was dispatched sans facon, as fast as it could be procured.
They were all, I tell you, before 12 in my parlour, eating cake and chattering, and talking the whole farce over, comme a la grille du convent. I can at present tell you no more, but I was impatient to begin my letter a cette heure; j'ai en quelque facon satisfait a mon envie. I shall embark at eleven for Isleworth, and hope with a fair wind to land at Campbell-ford stairs in ten minutes after.
I shall never forget my nocturnal visitors, the bull-frogs, who, sans façon, jumped about the room as if dancing a quadrille, not to my amusement but their own, making a most unmusical noise to the tune of something like, “Pay your debts, pay your debts, pay your debts.” After the third croak they paused, probably to give time for everybody to become honest.
