"It is," repeated Monsieur Mutuel, his amiable old walnut-shell countenance very walnut-shelly indeed as he smiled and blinked in the bright morning sunlight, "it is, my cherished Madame Bouclet, I think, impossible!" "Hey!" "See then, look there, read! 'On the second floor Monsieur L'Anglais. Is it not so?" "It is so," said Monsieur Mutuel. "Good. Continue your morning walk. Get out!"
He put it in his pocket. "For better or for worse, then," he said, and descended the stairs. Presently, as he went through the village, he noticed signs of hostility to himself. Cries of Vive la Canada! Vive la France! a bas l'Anglais! came to him out of the murmuring and excitement.
The American girl is a most insolent person, but I have had the pleasure of crushing her on several occasions in the calmest way. In the description of the concert in last week's newspaper I was called l'Anglais de marbre. I certainly had the decency to hold my tongue while Faure was singing. Miss Bolsover's voice was heard ever so many times above the music.
"Apparemment c'est un pauvre misérable, qui a fait naufrage," observed the old negro, who appeared to have the charge of the vessel; "Gustave Adolphe, tu parles bien l'Anglais; demandez-lui les nouvelles," continued the old man, folding his arms across, and looking very big indeed, as he reclined against the mainmast of the vessel. Gustave Adolphe stood forward from the rest of the negroes.
The landlord looked rather glum and his daughter somewhat anxious, and the former, shaking his head, exclaimed: "Voyez-vous, Monsieur l'Anglais, nous n'avons pas de chance pas de chance du tout! Je ne sais pas a quoi ca tient, mais c'est comme ca. I don't know why, but there it is. At that very moment, indeed, a great disaster was occurring.
"Que Monsieur l'Anglais est drole: et voyez Moustache, comme il a l'air content vraiment c'est un chien d'esprit." "Allez, Moustache," said his master, who was now all smiles, "donnez la patte a monsieur donnez donc. Ah, sare, he forgive you, I am very sure il n'a pas de malice, but he is afraid of de cigar. De burnt shild dred de vater, as your great Shakespeare say."
But for me, it is dull. Monsieur l'Anglais shall talk with me, and you may hear all the secrets that Alice has to tell. We," she murmured, looking up at Norgate, "will speak of other things, is it not so?" For a moment Selingman hesitated. Norgate would have moved on with a little farewell nod, but Selingman's companions were insistent.
He put it in his pocket. "For better or for worse, then," he said, and descended the stairs. Presently, as he went through the village, he noticed signs of hostility to himself. Cries of Vive la Canada! Vive la France! a bas l'Anglais! came to him out of the murmuring and excitement.
"Ecoutez," said the waiter to me, "il va faire l'Anglais; c'est tres drole!" The little rogue mounted his immense brimless hat, and, thrusting his thumbs into the armholes of his waistcoat, began to faire l'Anglais, with a song in which swearing was the principal joke. We all laughed at this, and indeed the little rascal seemed to have a good deal of humor.
It is by virtue of the same quality that the Americans have been enabled to subdue their continent and build up the fabric of the United States. It is this quality, says the French writer almost brutally, which makes the German and Latin races to-day stand to L'Anglais in about the same relation as the Oriental and the Redskin stand to the European.
