"Honour," said Washer, "'l'honneur, die Ehre' duelling, unfaithful wives " He was clearly going to add to this, but it was lost; for the little fat man, taking the meerschaum with trembling fingers, and holding it within two inches of his chin, murmured: "You fellows, Berryman's awf'ly strong on honour." He blinked twice, and put the meerschaum back between his lips.
I hope I shall have de pleasure to make your acquaintance. Je m'appelle Monsieur Auguste de Poivre. J'ai l'honneur de vous presenter une carte d'adresse. I live on de top of my mother's, sur l'entresol. My mother live on de ground rez-de-chaussee. Madame ma mere will be delighted to receive a monsieur of so much vit and adresse."
Yet to an officer it is all very sad and disheartening. I have seen enough to sicken me of the whole German system of making war, and yet if the call came I know I would gladly go forth and die when tout est perdu fors l'honneur.

Such gross local prejudices prevail with the herd of mankind, and do not impose upon cultivated, informed, and reflecting minds.
I am ignorant of the designs of Heaven respecting me and my subjects; but I know the obligations which God has imposed upon me. As a Christian, I will fulfil my duties to my last breath as the son of St. Louis, I would, like him, respect myself even in chains as the successor of Francis I., I say with him 'Tout est perdu fors l'honneur'.
Here is his first programme, as I found it on the breakfast-table, and have kept it ever since as a relic of bright days: "Mesdames et Messieurs, "Mademoiselle Ferrario et M. de Vauversin auront l'honneur de chanter ce soir les morceaux suivants. "Mademoiselle Ferrario chantera Mignon Oiseaux légers France Des Français dorment l
