Two correspondents choose any book they like, and each takes a copy of the same edition. The writer looks in his volume for the words he wants, and numbers them; his correspondent finds them by the aid of these numbers. Thus, in Jacques's letters, the numbers followed by a colon refer to the pages, and the others to the order in which the words come."
Kate gave her horse a smart cut with the whip, half involuntarily, as she spoke. In a moment it reared almost perpendicularly, and then bounded forward; not, however, before Jacques's quick eye had observed the danger, and his ever-ready hand arrested its course.
Well, as Jacques and I curvetted along, skirting the low bushes at the edge of a wood, out burst a whole herd of buffaloes. Bang went Jacques's gun, almost before I had winked to make sure that I saw rightly, and down fell the fattest of them all, while the rest tossed up their tails, heels, and heads in one grand whirl of indignant amazement, and scoured away like the wind.
Besides, there was no need of words between them. That close embrace had told Jacques's father clearly enough what Dionysia's grandfather must have suffered. They remained thus standing motionless, looking at each other, when Dr. Seignebos, who could not be still for any length of time, came up, and asked, "The trunks are on the carriage: shall we go?" They left the station.
"What security can you give me," she said, in a hard and stern voice, after having closed the door again, "what security do you give me, that if Jacques's innocence were established, and he reinstated, you would not forget your promises?" "Ah, madam! How or upon what do you want me to swear that I am ready to disappear. Choose your own securities, and I will do whatever you require."
That was taking unusual precautions, knowing that your father and your servant were there? Were you in fear of something, then? "A. My father would be returning to the chateau and Daddy Jacques would be going to his bed. And, in fact, I did fear something. "Q. You were so much in fear of something that you borrowed Daddy Jacques's revolver without telling him you had done so? "A. That is true.
"Why, sir, why, should I not be deeply, passionately, interested in any thing that regards the man who is to be my husband?" "Because ladies are generally very sensational," said the doctor uncivilly, "very sensitive." "Don't think so, doctor. For Jacques's sake, I promise you I will show you quite masculine energy."
Sometimes Brother Jacques's stroke beat rhythmically with the measures; sometimes the oars trailed through the water with a low, sweet murmur. He could see nothing but those two fair faces. They were nearing the heights of Sillery when Anne closed the book. "And now for Hiawatha and his white canoe," she said. "Very well; I will tell you of the good Hiawatha, his daughter, and his white canoe.
A spy in hobnailed shoes, forsooth! No spy ever behaved as he has. I said when you first seized him he was no spy. I say it again, now I have heard his story. He saw us by chance, and Maître Jacques's bogy story spurred him on instead of keeping him off. You are a fool, my cousin." "Pardieu! it is you who are the fool," growled Gervais. "You will bring us to the rope with your cursed easy ways.
"I thought so: yes, upon my word! By racking my brains all night long, I had very nearly guessed the whole story. And who, in Jacques's place, would not have been desirous to make one last effort? But certainly fate is against him." "Who knows?" said M. Folgat. And, without giving the doctor time to reply, he went on, "In what are our chances worse than they were before? In no way.
