We throw open the curacoa to the intelligence and industry of the assembled guests; we carry the right of the multitude to our host's cigars by a majority. C'est un farceur que notre bon petit cousin. Lespel says it is sailorlike to do something of this sort after a cruise. Nevil's Radicalism would have been clever anywhere out of Bevisham. Of all boroughs! Grancey Lespel knows it.
Consistency to human nature is not insisted on in plot, but there must be startling and unexpected incidents, mechanical devices, and a great deal of what is called "business," which clearly has as much relation to literature as have the steps of a farceur in a clog-dance.
When Madame Honorine solves that enigma she has made up her mind how to act. As for Journel, it amused him more and more. He would have given far more than thirty dollars a month for this drama; for he was not only rich, but a great farceur. That was what she was called by everybody as soon as she was seen or described.
He went to the seminary at Yvetot and the lyceum of Rouen, but his education was desultory, his reading principally of his own selection like most men of individual character. He was a farceur, fond of mystifications, of rough practical jokes, of horseplay. His physique was more Flemish than French a deep chest, broad shoulders, heavy muscular arms and legs, a small head, a bull-neck.

"I will wait. By the way, do you know she thinks you charming?" "No." "She hasn't told you?" "Not at all." "How are you here?" "I have come to pay her a visit." "At midnight?" "Why not?" "Farceur!" "She has received me, as a matter of fact, very badly." "She will receive you better by and bye." "Do you think so?" "I have some good news for her." "No harm in that.
The bargains they had made along the route were now to be rehearsed, seasoned with a joke. "Allons, toi, on ne fait pas de la monnaie blanche comme ca!" "Je t'ai offert huit sous, tu sais, lapin!" "Farceur, va-t'en "
Meanwhile Robert, addressing Mrs Pontellier, continued to tell of his one time hopeless passion for Madame Ratignolle; of sleepless nights, of consuming flames till the very sea sizzled when he took his daily plunge. While the lady at the needle kept up a little running, contemptuous comment: "Blagueur farceur gros bete, va!" He never assumed this seriocomic tone when alone with Mrs. Pontellier.
"I would I were as sure of Heaven." "I think you may be just about as sure," Mr. Caryll rejoined, entirely unperturbed, and he sauntered forward towards Hortensia. Rotherby and his mother watched him, exchanging glances. Then Rotherby shrugged and sneered. "'Tis his bluster," said he. "He'll be a farceur to the end. I doubt he's half-witted." Mr. Caryll never heeded him.
If he did such things, the old Huronite was foggy upon the subject and reserved, limiting his assertions to the statement, that "the British actor" was a farceur, and likewise un danseur très-renommé sur la corde tendue. Long afterwards, when I resided at Quebec, my visits to Lorette were very frequent.
