"If you've got all that life in you, Mounseer, just turn to at the pump again and make some use of it, instead of jigging away like an overgrown jackanapes!" growled out Kelson, who held the poor Frenchman in great contempt for having knocked under, as he called it, so soon. Jacotot gave another skip or two, and then, seizing the pump-handle, or break, as it is called, burst into tears.
Poor Jacotot tore his hair and wrung his hands, and wept tears of grief for his wretched craft; but he did not gain as much sympathy as would have been shown him had he been more quiet, though our new friends congratulated us the more warmly in having got out of her before she met her fate.
He also wore large buckles in his shoes, whose brilliancy left no doubt of their real value. Bowing with great ceremony, he advanced slowly into the room. "You are come to dine with us, is it not so, Jacotot?" said Duchesne, as he still held his hand. "Excuse me, my dear chevalier; the Comte de Chambord and Edouard de Courcelles are below, I have promised to join them." "And is Courcelles here?"
Historically considered the principle of concentration has been advocated and emphasized by many writers and teachers. The most striking and decided attempt to apply it was made by Jacotot in the first quarter of this century and had great success in France. Mr. He emphasized above everything else clearness of insight and connection between the parts of knowledge.
"We were inclined to laugh at Jacotot, but if he can produce fresh water out of salt, he may be the means of saving all our lives." We watched him anxiously, all eager to help him, but he would not be hurried. At length the machine was finished, and we hastened to fill it with salt water. It was placed on the fire, and slowly the drops of fresh water were distilled from it.
Barbauld, who may be included in that group of men and women who completely altered the style of teaching and writing for children Rousseau, de Genlis, the Edgeworths, Jacotot, Froebel, and Diesterweg, all great teachers, didactic, deadly-dull Mrs.
The Marquis de Verneuil was a good hater: even poor De Gency's fate did not move him, and he actually did do what he had only threatened in mockery, he sent the orphan child to be a turnspit in the royal kitchen. Of course he changed his name, the title of an old and honored family would soon have betrayed the foul deed, and the boy was called Jacotot, after the chef himself.
Fate, that seems to jest with men's destinies, made them as successful at the fire of the kitchen as ever their ancestors were at that of a battery; and Monsieur Jacotot, our present host, has not his equal in Paris.
How eagerly were they sought for by the poor creatures who stood round with lack-lustre eyes and parched lips. Jacotot insisted that the youngest should be served first. I think he was influenced by the wish to get his boy Auguste an early draught. That was but natural.
At that moment Jacotot made his appearance on deck. He was told that he must go on shore. He was secured forthwith to the cradle. In vain he struggled and protested: he was quickly drawn across. His son and Jack followed. Two men then went to assist in hauling the passengers across. They were placed, one after the other, in the cradle and landed in safety.
