It abounds in details of the writer's attempts at the translation of a French play for the English stage, on which he desires a judgment; and cites verses from several of the songs it contains, one of them being that so familiar to American ears thirty years since, when Lafayette was making his last tour through this country: "Où peut on être mieux Qu'au sein de sa famille?"
Philidor stopped in the dressing tent and spoke a few words to the Signora, made his way across the arena, peering over Cleofonte's shoulder, and then, his course of action chosen, slipped quickly into his accustomed place outside. "Dix sous, Messieurs et Dames!" he shouted. "The greatest act of this or any age the Famille Fabiani, the world renowned acrobats, jugglers and strong man!
Even morning light discovered nothing like the charm of the rest of Mexico, and though I took up new lodgings en famille in aristocratic Chapultepec Avenue, with a panorama of snow-topped Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl, her sleeping sister, and all the range seeming a bare gunshot away, the imagination was more inclined to hark back to the Bowery than to the great Tenochtitlan of the days of Cortez.
He had no baggages, but one small trunk that I packed for him his dress-suit, some shirts that I had made, some lace handkerchiefs that I was sending to Florine. In this trunk too were ze star buttons, heirlooms in ze famille Gardiné. He was to spend his honeymoon in Texas until his furlough had expired: then he was to bring Florine to me, and he was to go back to his regiment.
I had a little supper at Lady Harrington's on Sunday, en famille; Lord and Lady Barrymore were there. She goes on with her pregnancy. I found Beauc. sitting with his future, en habit de gala; he soon went away to the Opera, so I had a tete a tete. Mr. He is very well spoke of, et le nom est assez beau. Quinze goes on vigorously at Almack's.
This was why Voltaire, who was a son of the seventeenth century before he was the patriarchal sire of the eighteenth, could never thoroughly understand the author of the New Heloisa, or the author of the Père de Famille and Jacques le Fataliste. Such work was to him for the most part a detestable compound of vulgarity and rodomontade. Nothing living but this! But this is much and very much.
Norman de Famille smiled, and Caroline continued with rather a flushed face, because Norman had been doing very much the same thing with her: "What is a girl to understand by such attentions?" "Why, that the gentleman finds it an amusing game, and hopes she is equally pleased," returned De Famille.
We may not say that La Famille Cardinal is one of the books every gentleman's library should be without; but to appreciate its value requires a far different knowledge of the world and of its wickedness than is needed to understand The Abbé Constantin. Yet the picture of the good priest and the portraits of the little Cardinals are the work of the same hand, plainly enough.
"I can't imagine her when it should come to the point embarking with the famille Ruck. But I wish she might go, nevertheless." Mrs. Church shook her head serenely, and smiled at my inappropriate zeal. "I trust my poor child may never be guilty of so fatal a mistake. She is completely in error; she is wholly unadapted to the peculiar conditions of American life. It would not please her.
This evening I went to the meeting in the Rue Lafaurie-Monbadon over which I have ceased to preside. Schoelcher presided. I spoke. I am satisfied with myself. March 2. Charles has returned. No session to-day. The adoption of peace has opened the Prussian net. I have received a packet of letters and newspapers from Paris. Two copies of the Rappel. We dined en famille, all five of us.
