By still stronger reason she owes them no duty of respect or good-will. What is called humanity has no meaning for the German. The mot of William II., "Humanity for me stops at the Vosges," is not merely an instance of national egoism. The German Emperor feels that what is for the present beyond his empire can only acquire value when it shall be annexed to it.
It is here old Tippleton gets execrated for that everlasting bon mot of his which was quite a success at dinner-parties forty years ago; it is here the belle of the season passes under the scalpels of merciless young surgeons; it is here B's financial condition is handled in a way that would make B's hair stand on end; it is here, in short, that everything is canvassed everything that happens in our set, I mean, much that never happens, and a great deal that could not possibly happen.
"I knew it. She's done with Ash Bol, Bol Car, and all those, and has worked through Cod Dem, and Dem Eve. She's down to Hor Kin now, and she'll go through the whole lot before she's done Kin Mag, Mag Mot, Mot Pal, and all the rest." "The Encyclopaedia?" "Don't you see it?

Alas! you must stand for son and daughters. Mama has so much sense! She will understand how sadly we are placed.
"I understant," said he, "vy you call her Asie; dis is Asiatic cooking." "I begin to think he loves me," said Esther to Europe; "he has said something almost like a bon mot."
