'Good-day, Babiche' 'Good-day, m'sieu'. 'How do you, Babiche? 'Well, thank the Lord, m'sieu'. 'Where to and where from, Babiche? 'To the Great Fort by the old trail, from the Far-off River, m'sieu'. 'Come safe along, Babiche. 'Merci, m'sieu'; the good God travels north, m'sieu'. 'Adieu, Babiche. 'Adieu, m'sieu'. That is about the way of the thing, year after year.
"Dieu merci!" said Uncle George, as the long white figure slipped from our hands and plunged down through the black waters. Then he clapped on his cap and turned the helm, and the lugger went bounding back quicker than she had come, for she and we were lightened of our loads. We ran back round Brecqhou into Havre Gosselin, and climbed the ladders and went to our homes.
Was it not the greatest triumph of his reign to have the unanimous vote of all France this overwhelming proof of his popularity? As he stood there smiling, with a gracious acknowledgment of the many compliments, he looked radiantly happy to thus receive the homage of his country. As the Emperor passed near me I added my congratulations, to which he replied, "Merci, je suis bien heureux."
"I can't spare him, Jeannette, that is the real truth," said the captain: "but wait a little in the meantime, here is a five-franc piece to add to your petite fortune." "Merci bien, monsieur le capitaine; bon voyage!" Jeannette held her finger up to Corbett, saying, with a smile, "méchant!" and then quitted the room.

I should not have had half as many lessons from Gigue, and I should never have been able to write to you without the Mere Superieure spying into my letters. That's why none of the girls are allowed to have sealing wax, because all their letters are ungummed over a basin of hot water and read before going to post. Discipline, discipline!

Madame want to know if any word has come from Monsieur since he went away! You are quite sure? Merci!" Replacing the receiver, she shook her head and said: "No, Madame." Virginia looked away.
After such hard fighting both commanders agreed that a twenty-four hours' halt was absolutely necessary. The day could not be termed one of rest, for there were thousands of wounded to be collected and cared for, arms to be cleaned, for they had been rendered useless by the rain, and provisions to be brought up from the rear. Merci made the most of the time thus given him.
"But they're lotuses, I suppose you know? I heard you say you'd give anything to have some." "Not artificial ones," explained Cleopatra, belle dame sans merci. "I can't stand artificial flowers even on hats, much less in rooms. Who could have put such horrors all over my salon?" "I don't know," Sir Marcus lied stoutly; "but it shan't happen again.
