'For many reasons, my dear Fergus, you must hold me excused. Or what say you to un petit pendement bien joli? against which awkward ceremony I don't warrant you, should you meet a body of the armed West-Country Whigs. 'And why should they use me so? said Waverley. 'For a hundred good reasons, answered Fergus.
"Why?" "That question is in my exercise, to be said of a man who is 'beau, joli, distingue." "Handsome, nice, and charming," replied her mother. "Very well, mother, this gentleman, our neighbor, is altogether handsome, nice, and charming." "Silly child!" exclaimed Madame de Tecle, while the little girl rushed down the steps.
As to Germany being safe from revolution, allow me to repeat a saying of Goethe's-but has Monsieur le Vicomte ever heard of Goethe?" "Goethe, of course, tres joli ecrivain."
When Barker brought in the tea-tray and set it on a little table before Karen, she took up one of the cups they were of an old English ware with a wreath of roses inside and lines of half obliterated gilt and said it was her first comment on the background "Tiens, c'est joli. Is this one of your presents, Karen?"
In passing to-day along the deep sand road, calling itself the street of Darien, my notice was attracted by an extremely handsome and intelligent-looking poodle, standing by a little wizen-looking knife-grinder, whose features were evidently European, though he was nearly as black as a negro who, strange to say, was discoursing with him in very tolerable French. The impulse of curiosity led me to accost the man at the grindstone, when his companion immediately made off. The itinerant artisan was from Aix in Provence; think of wandering thence to Darien in Georgia! I asked him about the negro who was talking to him; he said he knew nothing of him, but that he was a slave belonging to somebody in the town. And upon my expressing surprise at his having left his own beautiful and pleasant country for this dreary distant region, he answered, with a shrug and a smile, 'Oui, madame, c'est vrai; c'est un joli pays, mais dans ce pays-l
Felgate was in against him rather a decent chap, one of our prefects; had me to tea in his room the other day. He and Marky don't hit it. He was lazy, and didn't bother himself. Fellows said he could easily have licked the School record if he'd tried; but he didn't; and Stafford missed it by a few inches. So that event we lost. Jolly sell, joli vendre.
I had therefore to keep myself in readiness, and, as I was anxious to be out of his hands, I approved all his arrangements. As soon as I had notice of the day on which the suite of the ambassador would embark, I went to pay my last farewell to all my acquaintances. I left my brother Francois in the school of M. Joli, a celebrated decorative painter.
"This is a day of compliments," said she, as she entered the parlor, "Signor Pimentero called me Diavolessa; Madame Guirlande called me Joli petit diable; and the parrot took it up, and screamed it after me, as I came away." "I don't wonder at it," replied Rosa. "I think I never saw even you so full of mischief." Her frolicsome mood remained through the day.
"Je voudrais bien d'un officier: Je voudrais bien d'un officier: Je marcherais a pas carres, Je marcherais a pas carres, Dans ma joli' chambrette, Ma luron, ma lurette Dans ma joli' chambrette, Ma luron, ma lure." The song ceased with a sound that was half laughter, half sigh. Before I realized what he was doing, Nick, instead of retracing his steps towards the house, started forward.
Pere Basil is evidently surprised at our taste when he sees us returning with our purchases, as he remarks, "We don't think much of those at this time of year;" from which we infer that at some seasons they have to depend so much upon fish, lobsters, etc., that they become weary of them. Tout est "0. K." Je suis arivée Dans ce joli pays, Avec bonne santé, Mais bien fatiguée. Adieu.
