Remembering how tired we were, and the verse "Quand on boit du Pomard on devient bon on aime, On devient aussi bon que le Pomard lui-meme " we drank, hoping that the wine would awaken us. But the effect of that strong Southern wine seemed to be more lethargic than exhilarating, and when dinner was over and we had returned to our seats by the fireside we were too weary to talk, and too nervous.
If he were here, we would knock off the thing between our fruit and cheese." Just at that moment the door opened suddenly. "Is supper ready?" asked a deep voice. "Eh, here he is, the dear friend! "O surprise extreme! Grand Dieu! c'est lui-meme alive and in the flesh." "And hungry," said Gerfaut, as he dropped into a chair near the fire.
"Is that Isidore?" I asked, in a somewhat fierce whisper. She pushed up her lip, smiled, and nodded. "Is that Isidore?" I repeated, giving her a shake: I could have given her a dozen. "C'est lui-meme," said she. "How coarse he is, compared with the Colonel-Count! And then oh ciel! the whiskers!" Dr. John now passed on. "The Colonel-Count!" I echoed.
All the bands struck on the Marseillaise in different keys, a few people crowded on the remnants of the pedestal waving red flags and shrieking in their excitement, and a sergeant who endeavoured to unburden himself of an oration was speedily gagged and hustled down to make way for the great "Bergeret lui-même," who, in all the glory of a red scarf and tassels, waved his hat and struggled to be heard above the general hubbud of music, voices, and battering of bronze.
"Qui est cet homme la?" said one, "comme il est epris de lui-meme." "How silly he is," cried another "how ugly," said a third. What a taste in literature such a talker such shallowness, and such assurance not worth the answering could not slip in a word disagreeable, revolting, awkward, slovenly, were the most complimentary opinions bestowed upon the unfortunate Vincent.
Ce livre est la loi qu'a laissée aux siens Mahomet. Il étoit enveloppé d'une étoffe de soie peinte et chargée de lettres morisque, et un chameau le portoit, couvert lui-même également de soie.
As I entered I said, half aloud: The thing is this, to look 'em in the eyes and keep cool whatever happens, not for the fraction of a moment forgetting that they are made of merde, that they are all of them composed entirely of merde I don't know how many inquisitors I expected to see; but I guess I was ready for at least fifteen, among them President Poincare Lui-meme.
Ah! je respire enfin, et ma joie est extrême Que le traître une fois se soit trahi lui-même. Libre des soins cruels où j'allais m'engager, Ma tranquille fureur n'a plus qu'
"Helas! un ecrivain justement celebre qui seroit mort de douleur s'il avoit connu ses disciples; un philosophe aussi parfait de sentiment que foible de vues, n'a-t-il pas dans ses pages eloquentes, riches en detail, pauvre au fond, confondu lui-meme les principes de l'art social avec les commencemens de la societe humaine?
My visits to Mr. Walker first gave me the idea of making the negro describe his own character in a collection of purely Hamitic proverbs and idioms. It appeared to me that, if ever a book aspires to the title of "l'Africain peint par lui-meme," it must be one in which he is the medium to his own spirit, the interpreter to his own thoughts.
