Manoel dashed forward and plunged his stick into the creature's neck, pinning it to the ground; then drawing his manchette, he quickly terminated its existence. We left it where it lay, for we could not have carried its skin, even had we taken the trouble of flaying it. Near the top of the hill we met Mr Laffan, who had witnessed the encounter.
"Oui, madame," replied the third, fanning in the direction pointed out. "Louise," said Madame de Fontanges, languidly, after a short pause, "apportez-moi de l'eau sucrée." "Oui, madame," replied another, rising, in obedience to the order. "Non, non! Je n'en veux pas mais j'ai soif horrible. Manchette, va chercher de l'eau cerise." "Oui, madame," replied Manchette, rising from her seat.
As was said before, the livery was the last meal of the day, and was taken in bed. It was a simple repast a manchette, or small loaf of bread of pure white flour, a loaf of household bread, sometimes a lump of cheese, and either a great flagon of ale or of sweet wine, warm and spiced.
It had ceased raining, but the plum-colour threw out her pleasant face into relief: she knew that, and tripped on without folding it. Instantly down bent the student, and, regardless of the dirty water, picked up the thimble. It slipped from his fingers into the gutter. Boldly he plunged his hand in, soiling thereby his manchette; but he recovered the trifle.
"Eventail," repeated Newton, who began to be amused, and who now repeated every French word after them. "Flacon," said Charlotte, showing him the eau de Cologne bottle. "Chaise," cried Louise, holding up a chair. "Livre," said Nina, pointing to a book. "Mouchoir," said Caroline, holding up an embroidered handkerchief. "Montre" followed up Manchette, pointing to her mistress's watch.
"Oui, madame," replied the third, fanning in the direction pointed out. "Louise," said Madame de Fontanges, languidly, after a short pause, "apporte-moi de l'eau sucree."

Old Quamodo told us how it sometimes happens that a hunter unfortunately fails to receive the jaguar on his lance; and in many instances he is torn to pieces before he can be assisted. His only resource on such an occasion is his manchette, or long knife, by means of which, if he can stab the jaguar, he may possibly escape.
The only weapon I had upon me when kidnapped from my ship was a short sabre or manchette, which I wore as a sidearm. But this I hoped would prove a formidable weapon when put to the use for which I now intended it.
"Mimi," repeated Newton, with a smile and nod of his head. "Moi Charlotte." "Moi Louise." "Moi Céleste." "Moi Nina." "Moi Caroline." "Moi Manchette." "Et moi Cupidon," finished the little black boy, running up, and then retreating as fast back into his corner. Newton repeated all the names, as the individuals respectively introduced themselves to him.
But she had not quitted the room before Madame de Fontanges had changed her mind. "Attendez, Manchette. Ce n'est pas ca. Je voudrois de limonade. Charlotte, va l'en chercher." "Oui, madame," said Charlotte, leaving the room to execute the order. "Ah! mon Dieu! qu'il fait une chaleur epouvantable." "Mimi, que tu es paresseuse? Eventez! vite, vite." "Ou est Monsieur?" "Monsieur dort."
