Don Quixote is not a pessimist, for since he does not understand what is meant by the joie de vivre he does not understand its opposite. Neither does he understand futurist fooleries. In spite of Clavileño, he has not got as far as the aeroplane, which seems to tend to put not a few fools at a still greater distance from heaven.
"No gaiety! No joie de vivre!" He paused, blowing his nose. "Well, this is the last time. I'll never attempt anything of the sort again." "You must not say that. I am sure the Thorhaven people are grateful," murmured Miss Ethel. "Old fool!" blurted out Mr. Graham with alarming ferocity and suddenness.
Most young men are naturally fond of brilliant, light-hearted companions, plenty of amusement, and that indescribable treasure known as the joie de vivre. Orange was no exception to this rule, and there were many hours when he tasted the bitterness of poverty, and felt the harsh differences between the outward gifts bestowed by Fate.
For this purpose you may send one, two, or three trusty persons over to the city, to get the reports, the newspapers, and the truth, if they can. We are just going to exhibit a grand champetre and feu de joie, so must only say that I am sincerely yours, Brunswick, July 6th, 1778, I have your letter of yesterday's date.

The great event was announced to the besieged by a grand /fete de joie/, and the army, as if to enjoy ocular demonstration of its triumph, extended itself along the whole platform to gaze upon the proud stream, peacefully and obediently flowing under the yoke which had been imposed upon it.
I knew that the Joie de Berry was a fort that could only be carried by mine and assault. Working still further, I obtained the concurrence of the Jesuits; and made the Pere de Trevoux our partisan. Nothing is indifferent to the Jesuits. They became a powerful instrument. As a last ally I obtained the co-operation of the Marechal de Boufflers.
Il montra en la recevant une joie extrême, et alla aussitôt trouver ses camarades, avec lesquelles il passa la nuit tout entière
'What an inspiration! What a COMBLE DE JOIE INDEED! What is the Schnapps? He looked at it, and laughed. 'Heidelbeer! he said. 'No! From the bilberries under the snow. Doesn't it look as if it were distilled from snow. Can you she sniffed, and sniffed at the bottle 'can you smell bilberries? Isn't it wonderful? It is exactly as if one could smell them through the snow.
We all put on our "best bibs and tuckers," and paraded at the water's edge to receive them, which we did with a spanking `feu de joie'*, and were not a little gratified with their attentions and handsome compliments paid us, for what they politely termed "our gallant defence of our country." * Bonfire.
