"Ah," she cried, "c'est joli, d'etre trois enfants!" How strange the earth smelt! She insisted on stopping and snuffling at every odor. New-mown grass; freshly turned loam; a stack of straw, packed too wet and left to ruin; dry leaves burning under the hot sun into a sort of dull incense all had their message for her.
"Canapé," cried Céleste, pointing to the ottoman. "Joli garçon," bawled out Cupidon, coming up to Newton, and pointing to himself. This created a laugh, and then the lesson was continued. Every article in the room was successively pointed out to Newton, and he was obliged to repeat the name; and afterwards the articles of their dress were resorted to, much to his amusement.
She asked a great many questions about Jolie Manon; and she laughed till she cried while she described, in dramatic style, how you crazed the poor bird with imitations, till she called you Joli petit diable" "How I wish I had known mamma then! How funny she must have been!" exclaimed Lila. "I think you have heard some performances of hers that were equally funny," rejoined Mrs. Delano.
I fancied not her look was too pure and candid; yet who could tell? Were not Nina's eyes trained to appear as though they held the very soul of truth? A few minutes passed. I heard the fresh voices of children singing in the next room: "D'ou vient le petit Gesu? Ce joli bouton de rose Qui fleurit, enfant cheri Sur le coeur de notre mere Marie."
Then designating every person at the different card-tables, she said, "That lady is the wife of M. , and there is M. le Baron de L her lover, the gentleman who looks over her cards and that other lady with the joli pompon, she is intimate with M. de la Tour, the husband of the lady who passed with M. le Duc."
For young lovers at their windows; for every one fortunate enough to have seen it: "Qu'il est joli ce paysage du Paris nocturne d'il y a cent ans!" Christopher Marteau was a warden of the corporation of Luthiers. He dealt in musical instruments, as his father and grandfather had done before him, at the sign of Saint Cecilia.
Long live the Prince!" and I heard women's voices adding, "Que sis poulid! Qui est si joli!"
We should infer from the narrative of M. Joutel that there was no European settlement at the spot, and but very few native inhabitants, though all the natives were friendly. In a few days two of the vessels which had been separated from the Joli by the storm, entered the bay, having probably learned from the natives, as they coasted along the shore, where the ship was.
But nearly all the cannon balls were in the hold of the Joli. Beaujeu, on the eve of his departure, refused to give them up, saying that it was inconvenient for him to get at them. About the 14th of March, Captain Beaujeu spread the sails of the Joli, and disappeared over the horizon of the sea, on his voyage to France.
"Ce petit homme tant joli, Qui toujours cause et toujours rit, Qui toujours baise sa mignonne Dieu gard' de mal ce petit homme!" His reckless song came back to us on the summer breeze. We watched him make a playful pass at a corpse which some one had propped in ghastly fashion against a door and miss it and go on whistling the same air and then a corner hid him from view.
