I pointed to the dead rat, smiling, and making other signs to show I was not hurt; whereat she was extremely rejoiced, calling the maid to take up the dead rat with a pair of tongs, and throw it out of the window. Then she set me on a table, where I showed her my hanger all bloody, and wiping it on the lappet of my coat, returned it to the scabbard.
The evening before the battle the marshal entered his Majesty's residence, and found him surrounded by several persons. The Duke of always undertook to place himself between the Emperor and persons who wished to speak with him. The Duke of Montebello, seeing him play his usual game, took him by the lappet of his coat, and, wheeling him around, said to him: "Take yourself away from here!
He has understood that women must at last be put upon an equality with men." "Can he manage that men shall have half the babies?" said Mr. Glascock, thinking to escape by an attempt at playfulness. But the minister was down upon him at once, had him by the lappet of his coat, though he knew how important it was for his dear niece that he should allow Mr.
