"This bishop's prose shocks me; I want to eat eggs without being permitted. Your style is the hot and cold; I am amusing myself. Besides, I'm not wasting myself, I'm getting a start; and if I tore down that charge, Hercle! 'twas only to whet my appetite." This word, Hercle, struck Gavroche. He sought all occasions for learning, and that tearer-down of posters possessed his esteem.
Hercle! the oracles would die. What wouldst thou with such a monster?" "Answer to one question, my Flavius; then, perpol! I would cut his throat." "And the question?" "I would have him tell me the hour Hour, said I? nay, the minute Maxentius will arrive to-morrow." "Good play, good play! I have you! And why the minute?"
Most characteristic of all are the half-Greek formations, such as -ferritribax-, -plagipatida-, -pugilice-, or in the -Miles Gloriosus- : -Fuge! euscheme hercle astitit sic dulice et comoedice! III. VIII. Greece Free
The graceful Lepidus, who rarely spoke for fear of disturbing his features, ejaculated 'Hercle! The parasite Clodius muttered 'AEdepol! and the sixth banqueter, who was the umbra of Clodius, and whose duty it was to echo his richer friend, when he could not praise him the parasite of a parasite muttered also 'AEdepol!

Sic Hercle, inquit, dum virtus hominibus per consilium naturae gignitur, vitia ibidem per affinitatem contrariam nata sunt." I do not think that a pagan could have said anything more reasonable, considering his ignorance of the first man's fall, the knowledge of which has only reached us through revelation, and which indeed is the true cause of our miseries.
What are they going to bring in? Here are many sergeants! By Jupiter! all the bloodhounds of the pack are there. It must be the great beast of the hunt a wild boar. And 'tis one, Robin, 'tis one. And a fine one too! Hercle! 'tis our prince of yesterday, our Pope of the Fools, our bellringer, our one-eyed man, our hunchback, our grimace! 'Tis Quasimodo!" It was he indeed.
Then comes the supper, which they still consider but a part of the bath: and then a third time they bathe again, as the best place to converse with their friends. 'Per Hercle! but we have their imitators at Pompeii. 'Yes, and without their excuse.
He inquired of him: "What does Hercle mean?" Bahorel answered: "It means cursed name of a dog, in Latin." Here Bahorel recognized at a window a pale young man with a black beard who was watching them as they passed, probably a Friend of the A B C. He shouted to him: "Quick, cartridges, para bellum." "A fine man! that's true," said Gavroche, who now understood Latin.
