DE L'ORGE WOULD NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD HER ELSE; as it was he heard quite enough; and as the door clikt too, in the presents of me, and Messeers Mortimer and Fitzclarence, the family footmen, he walks round to my master, and hits him a slap on the face, and says, "prends ca, menteur et lache!" which means, "Take that, you liar and coward!" rayther strong igspreshns for one genlmn to use to another.
Ah! par exemple, Mademoiselle, c'est trop fort! Next you will say that I am a menteur, a fripon, a lâche! You will tell me that I have no honour, and no sense of the generosity due to a woman; that I am a brute and an imbecile," and at every epithet he dashed his hands violently out in front of him, or thrust them wildly through his disordered locks.
To save his life the wretch offers to reveal the frauds he had put in practice against Montamour, but while he is doing so, the Baron meets them, and concluding that Beauclair is in collusion with the villain, attacks them both. Beauclair disarms his antagonist and is about to return him his weapon, when Du Lache stabs the Baron in the back.
"I did not bid you here," Alison said. "Lache," says Mr. O'Connor with a shrug. "En effet," says McBean and sat down. "Observe, Waverton: I have given you the chance to take a clean death. You have not the courage for it. Tant mieux. You may now hang." Mr. Waverton again made a move for the door, but Mr. O'Connor stood solidly in the way. "Attention, Waverton.
He should be above them all, save in so far as he can without effort reap renown from the labours of others.

Il me faut des emotions," said Blanche.

Henri Dumain, our little old French David who fought the tragic duel of tooth and claw with his German Jonathan in Thornsen's Élite Restaurant, stung him with that most insulting word in any known tongue "Lâche!" and threatened him with uplifted cane; and poor Plooie slunk away.
My uncle had scarcely recovered his surprise at the first demonstration ere he was staggered by the second "Malheureuse!" exclaimed the father; "Perfide!" groaned the lover; "Traître!" shouted the marquis; "Lâche!" growled the general.
