She was delighted with herself for forgiving Mr. Hilliard. Because, of course, she could unforgive him again at any minute, if it seemed really best. When a woman laughs at your bon mot, there is hope. There is also happiness. Nick felt both. They came in a gust, like a spray of perfume in his face, taking his breath away.
"Pardon me, but some day you will find that love is a man, and" here he laughed "you will neither breathe, nor eat, nor sleep except with him in your heart. Even a princess is mot proof against a man." "Is a man proof against a princess? she asked, as she leaned against the casement. "It depends on the" he paused "the princess, I should say." "Alas!
The puppet-show was shut up sooner than he expected; but the jester had kept his most wonderful mot for the last. "Dieu me pardonnera," he said. "C'est son métier." "Der Bahn, der kühnen, folgen wir, Die uns geführt Lassalle." Such is the Marseillaise the Social Democrats of Germany sing, as they troop out when the police break up their meetings.
Did the minister give out the long-meter doxology, at once I began: "Doxology sockdology sockdolager meter meet her." The sermon ran through my mental sieve, its precepts filtering unheeded, could I but glean a suggestion of a pun or a bon mot.
Myrtle was not blind nor dull, though young, and in many things untaught. She did not say in so many words, "I too am a beauty," but she could mot help seeing that she had many of the attractions of feature and form which had made the original of the picture before her famous.

He had the appearance of one too much occupied with serious designs, to be able to relax at will into the easy play of ordinary conversation. He did not suffer his person to be familiarised out of reverence. When he did appear, it was not the ball or bon mot of the evening before, that he recalled: he was still, wherever he went, the Buonaparte of Lodi, and Arcola, and Rivoli.
I must conclude, for we are just going to dinner, and I am not yet dressed. Love me as I love you, and then we shall never cease loving each other. Adieu! J'espere que vous aurez deja pris quelque lection dans la langue francaise, et je ne doute point que ecoutez! que vous aurez bientot le francais mieux que moi; car il y a certainement deux ans que je n'ai pas ecrit un mot de cette langue.
I admit it, granted it was by post," he concluded, almost in delirium. "Passons," he began again, five minutes later. "I don't understand Turgenev. That Bazarov of his is a fictitious figure, it does not exist anywhere. The fellows themselves were the first to disown him as unlike anyone. That Bazarov is a sort of indistinct mixture of Nozdryov and Byron, c'est le mot.
The terms practically explain themselves; but a third class ought to be added the "mot de caractère." The "mot d'auteur" is the distinguishing mark of the Congreve-Sheridan convention. It survives in full vigour or, shall one say, it sings its swan-song? in the works of Oscar Wilde.
