"Y a des honnetes gens partout," he was just chanting for the twentieth time; when up got the Commissary upon his feet and waved brutally to the singer with his cane. "Is it me you want?" inquired Leon, stopping in his song. "It is you," replied the potentate. "Fichu Commissaire!" thought Leon, and he descended from the stage and made his way to the functionary.
A bloody scuffle between De Repentigny and the Bourgeois would not only be a victory for the Company, but would breakup the whole party of the Honnetes Gens!" The Intendant slapped De Pean on the shoulder and shook him by the hand. "You are more clever than I believed you to be, De Pean.
Lord Byron at Coppet had been going on abusing the stupidity of the good people of Geneva: Rocca at last turned short upon him "Eh! milord, pourquoi donc venez-vous vous fourrer parmi ces honnetes gens?"
