"Honi soit qui mal y pense," murmured Don, slowly recovering from his fit of laughter. "Ipsissima verba," said Flamby. Don, who was drying his eyes, turned slowly and regarded her. Flamby blushed rosily. "What did you say?" asked Don. "Nothing. I was thinking out loud." "Do you habitually think in Latin?" "No. It was just a trick of dad's. I wish you could have heard him swear in Latin."
"The fundamental principle of the new age," said the doctor, "will be Honi soit qui mal y pense. In these matters. With perhaps Fay ce que vouldras as its next injunction. So long as other lives are not affected. In matters of personal behaviour the world will probably be much more free and individuals much more open in their conscience and honour than they have ever been before.
Then breathless voices rose, and skirts swished and French heels tapped the polished floor and solemn subalterns stalked about seeking ices and lost buckles and mislaid fans; and a faint voice said, "Oh!" when a jewelled garter was found, and a very red subaltern said, "Honi soit!" and everybody laughed. Presently I missed the General, and, a moment later, Dorothy.
In the evening, according to tradition, a ball was held, at which the incident occurred, so often related, of the accidental losing of her garter by the fair chatelaine, and the restoration of it by the King, with the remark, as a rebuke to the smiling bystanders, "Honi soit qui mal y pense." This he afterwards adopted as the motto of the Order he established in honour of the beautiful Countess.
"Nor I. It is not Marquesan. It was his name, that he bore on the ship." "Honi?" I repeated incredulously, and then light broke. "You mean Jones?" "It may be. I do not know. Honi was his name, as my grandfather said it. And this Honi had brought from the whale-ship a gun and a harpoon.
"It can't be fit for you to go about and fetch witnesses; and it won't make it more fit because she is a pretty young woman who has lost her character." "Honi soit qui mal y pense," said the Vicar. But his wife was resolute, and he gave up the plan.
You meet me in the shrubbery at home, talking over the private theatricals with my old playfellow, whom I knew when I was no taller than this parasol. And that is a glaring impropriety, is it? 'Honi soit qui mal y pense. You wanted an answer a minute ago there it is for you, my dear, in the choicest Norman-French." "I am in earnest about this, Magdalen " "Not a doubt of it.
"Ashamed?" he echoed, for indeed no such thought had occurred to him. If ever a man could have taken honi soit qui mal y pense for his motto, it was our Commandant. "Naturally that would be the explanation to occur to you, living so long in such a place." She turned on her heel, half contemptuously, and resumed her way, walking with a yet quicker step than before.
"I know a gallant steed by tokens sure, And by his eyes I know a youth in love," declaimed Stepan Arkadyevitch, just as he had done before to Levin. Vronsky smiled with a look that seemed to say that he did not deny it, but he promptly changed the subject. "And whom are you meeting?" he asked. "I? I've come to meet a pretty woman," said Oblonsky. "You don't say so!" "Honi soit qui mal y pense!
But at last she gave way. "Honi soit qui mal y pense," she said; "that must be my protection." So she followed Miss Van Siever downstairs, leaving Mr Dalrymple in possession of her boudoir. "I shall give you just one hour," she said, "and then I shall come and turn you out."
