And I should be as good too, don't you see? for I shouldn't live with you, but I should be close to you just round the corner, and it would be just the same. My idea would be that it should all be perfectly open and frank. Honi soit qui mal y pense, don't you know? You're the best thing you and what we can do for you that either of us has ever known," he came back to that.
He had said or done nothing to which the most hypercritical could logically take exceptions, yet her resentment had been spontaneous and unmistakable. "Honi soit qui mal y pense!" he muttered, and again his eyes held that unlovely light. "One who divines, must feel and she is only a woman after all." But the conclusion was not altogether satisfying and he shook his head.
"On sautera!" People are jumping with a vengeance. The paint is disturbed upon your partner's face. Pretty lips speak ugly words. Honi soit qui mal y pense; but then the gentleman is between two and three wines, and the lady is rallying him because he has sense enough left to be a little modest. A couple sprawl in a waltz. A gentleman roars a toast. The hostess prays for less noise.
As for the rest, it was all done in a hurry: Mr. Neville had no horse now to ride home with; he did me the justice to think I should be very ill pleased, were he to trudge home afoot and suffer for his courtesy; so he borrowed my gray to keep him out of the mire; and, indeed, the ways were fouler than usual, with the rains. Was there any ill in all this? HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE! say I."
"Now, we want a motto," said Gordon; "something that will express, in few words, the objects of the society." "I don't happen to know what the objects of the society are," replied Haven; "but I suggest, 'Honi soit qui mal y pense." "The Queen of England has a mortgage on that motto," said Paul. "Semper paratus will be better." "What does it mean?" asked a student. "Some praties," replied a wag.
At Wellington and Nelson also men were drilled and stockades were built for defence. First Maori War.# But Honi Heke was afraid of the soldiers, and when Colonel Hulme arrived from Sydney with several companies he withdrew to a strong pah of his, eighteen miles inland.
I depend just now I have to avow it to you slightly upon stimulants... of a perfectly innocuous character. Mrs. Waddy will allow me a pint of champagne. The truth is, Richie you see these two or three poor pensioners of mine, honi soit qui mal y pense my mother has had hard names thrown at her. The stones of these streets cry out to me to have her vindicated. I am not tired; but I want my wine.
She was angry, but Dom João only said 'Por bem, meaning much what his queen's grandfather had meant when he said 'Honi soit qui mal y pense, and to remind the maids of honour, whose waiting-room this was, that they must not tell tales, he had the magpies painted on the ceiling. The two windows, one looking west and one into the pateo, are exactly like those already described.
But, on the other hand, the Maoris had learnt a lesson. They could not fight against English bayonets in the open, but while taking aim from behind palisades they were safe. Therefore they began in different places to strengthen their fortresses, and Honi Heke added new defences to his pah of Oheawai, which stood in the forest nineteen miles from the coast.
Paul's, it is adorned by two ranges of pilasters, one above the other; the lower consist of 120 pilasters at least, with their entablature of the Corinthian order, and the upper of as many with entablament of the Composite order, besides twenty columns at the west and four at the east end, and those of the porticoes and spaces between the arches of the windows; and the architrave of the lower order, &c., are filled with great variety of curious enrichments, consisting of cherubims, festoons, volutas, fruit, leaves, car-touches, ensigns of fame, as swords and trumpets in saltier crosses, with chaplets of laurel, also books displayed, bishops' caps, the dean's arms, and, at the east end, the cypher of W.R. within a garter, on which are the words Honi soit qui mal y pense, and this within a fine compartment of palm-branches, and placed under an imperial crown, &c., all finely carved in stone.
