But this "scientific socialism," which, on account of the backwardness of political economy, could be only a step ahead, was taken by the younger generation of Russia as the "dernier mot" of the science. The result was, that several narrow and exclusive dogmas were grafted on this doctrine.
"Same time, anybody except the like of Montgomery would spring a bit in a season like this. I couldn't crush a poor, decent, hard-working devil like that. I'd give him a thorough good blackguarding for calculating upon crossing the run; and then, as a matter of form, I'd send a man with him, to see him across. Well, I suppose we must go and get our mot d' ordre, boys."
People in Leadville soon discovered that Spencer was a bright man, "yes, sir, a citizen of whom the chief mining city of the Rocky Mountains has every reason to be proud," and the railway magnate who had nearly ruined him by years of hostility buried the past grandiloquently with a mot. "Charles K. Spencer can't be sidetracked," he said. "That K isn't in his name by accident.
I suppose you have heard various jeux d'esprit on the marriage of Sir Humphry Davy and Mrs. Apreece? I scarcely think any of them worth copying: the best idea is stolen from the bon mot on Sir John Carr, "The Traveller beknighted." "When Mr. Davy concluded his last Lecture by saying that we were but in the Dawn of Science, he probably did not expect to be so soon beknighted."
The story was repeated afterwards as an amusing bon mot, and a specimen of the barbarity to which religious fanaticism may lead; and yet we question whether John the Baptist had not the right of it. For it must at once appear, that, had the small-pox made the above-mentioned change in Lillie's complexion at sixteen, the entire course of her life would have taken another turn.
It seemed to me that he was angry about something. "He knows Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch too." "Do you know Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch?" inquired Stepan Trofimovitch. "I know him too." "It's... it's a very long time since I've seen Petrusha, and... I feel I have so little right to call myself a father... c'est le mot; I... how did you leave him?" "Oh, yes, I left him... he comes himself," replied Mr.
But his boundless triumphs, his alliance with the Czar and total overthrow of the Bourbons and the Pope, had fed the fires of his ambition. He aspired to give the mot d'ordre to the universe; and he scrupled not to put aside a consort who could not help him to found a dynasty. Yet it was not without pangs of sorrow and remorse.
"And if you would not consider it trifling with the feelings of a gintleman in defficulties, I would make the playful observation, sir, that it's quite in character to be arrested at the suit of a tailor. He! he! he!" "You're a wag, I see," said Tom. "Oh no, sir, only a poetic turn: a small affection I have certainly for Judy Mot, but my rale passion is the muses.
Many of his friends ventured to show their horror of this Corsican vendetta; and a mot which was plausibly, but it seems wrongly, attributed to Fouché, well sums up the general opinion of that callous society: "It was worse than a crime it was a blunder."
It seems that you had great doings, you and Gramont-Caderousse, last evening, at the Château de Fleurs. "I smiled with satisfaction. "'So Your Majesty knows already.... "'I know, I know vaguely. "'Do you know Gramont-Caderousse's last "mot"? "'No, but you are going to tell it to me. "'Here goes, then. We were five or six: myself, Viel-Castel, Gramont, Persigny....
