The crone looked with genuine admiration, almost worship, at La Corriveau as she said this; "but I doubt he will find both of us at last, dame, when we have got into our last corner." "Well, vogue la galere!" exclaimed La Corriveau, starting up. "Let it go as it will! I shall walk to Beaumanoir, and I shall fancy I wear golden garters and silver slippers to make the way easy and pleasant.
Think of me as kindly as you can speak of me as indulgently as your conscience will permit, and once more adieu. 'And adieu, my dear Waverley! many, many thanks for your kindness. Unplaid yourself on the first opportunity. I shall ever think on you with gratitude, and the worst of my censure shall be, QUE DIABLE ALLOIT-IL FAIRE DANS CETTE GALERE?
And his whimsicalities were generally amusing, and sometimes original. As to Mr. Amarinth, she could not imagine him in the country at all. He smacked essentially of cities. What he would do in this galère she knew not. She leaned back in her basket-chair and enjoyed herself quietly. The green peace, after London, was absolutely delicious.
He was about to rise in his horror, when he caught the Prince's eye. It was fixed upon him from across the room with a frowning and angry stare. And in a moment Geraldine recovered his composure. "After all," he added, "why not? And since you say the game is interesting, VOGUE LA GALERE I follow the club!" Mr. Malthus had keenly enjoyed the Colonel's amazement and disgust.
Vogue la galére! Three months more have gone and my journals have never been written up, save in chance scraps. The Wanderer is quite as interesting as ever! I took the odds to £2 with him over a race run at Newmarket, and he paid promptly. He puts out little signs of improvement sprouts of gentility at times: but one heavy spell of gin and Shakespeare takes him back to the old level again.
The singing and the recurrent splash grew louder, filled the silence of the river, grew softer; and presently the receding oars flashed again, below the island. But not until the last glint was lost in the shimmer of the water, the last sound had died out of the summer night, did the Brazilian begin to unfold his surprise. "Que diable allait-on faire dans cette galère!" he exclaimed.
And do you think if I was to investigate the cost of kitchen and cellar, and calculate how many pounds of meat each of our tall lackeys consumes per diem, I should not speedily be plagued into grey hairs and wrinkles? I hope we are rich enough to support their wastefulness. And if we are not why, vogue la galere when we are ruined the King must do something for Fareham make him Lord Chancellor.
This declaration was followed by a silence that had the character of stupor. At last Duplessis said, "But what has Louvier to do in this galere? Louvier is no relation of that well-born vaurien; why should he summon your family council?"
The waters of the pool touched Nefta, whose Kadi gave Tissot a description of a buried vessel which, from its shape, could be nothing but a "galere antique" it was dismembered for fuel, and metal nails were found in its framework. Movers is probably correct in seeking at Nefta the Biblical Naphtuhim of the generation of Noah: an Egyptian document speaks of it as the "land of Napit."
p. 148 what the Devil made me a ship-board? cf. Geronte's reiterated complaint 'Que diable allait-il faire dans cette galere? Les Fourberies de Scapin , ii, VII; and the phrase in Cyrano de Bergerac's Le Pedant Joue : 'Ha! que diable, que diable aller faire en cette galere?... Aller sans dessein dans une galere!... Dans la galere d'un Turc! Act ii, IV. In France this phrase is proverbial.
