"Oh no no no!" cried Virginia, her face instantly the colour of the condemned stockings. Then, standing straight: "Certainly not." "No? Just as you say," he replied good humouredly. "Like to have you have 'em. Seems as if strangers in a strange land oughtn't to stand on ceremony." The clerk was bending forward holding up the stockings alluringly. "Pour mademoiselle, n'est-ce-pas?"
We cannot make him live, but we will let him die quick quick, so that he suffer no more. That is kind, that is merciful, n'est-ce-pas?" She turned instinctively in answer to that voice. She held up her hands to the speaker like a child. "Oh, Bertie," she cried piteously, "is there nothing to be done? Nothing?" "Only that, chérie," he made answer, very gently.
One owes something to one's self: N'EST-CE-PAS? And this early summer was certainly the best time for travelling. One could count on good weather; one could sleep in the afternoon, if the heat were excessive. He had telegraphed for a couple of rooms in what was described as the best hotel he hoped the visitors staying there would be to his liking.
As she talked her voice rippled and broke into suppressed laughter. "It was all rather dull, n'est-ce-pas?" said Emile, who felt more amusement than he had any intention of showing. "You'll find the Cause more exciting." Before any practical steps were taken to make her a member of the band it was necessary to stimulate her enthusiasm, her imagination.
"Who are you?" she asked eagerly, "and why have I been brought here?" "Mademoiselle will come inside, please," said the woman, with a foreign accent. "It is cold in the night air, N'est-ce-pas?" She turned to lead the way inside. While Louise hesitated to follow the limousine started with a roar from its cylinders and disappeared down the driveway, the two men going with it.
"Worthie," she admonished, "it's bad business for an army man to turn traitor." "But yes, he does. 'Cause I asked Watts why Pourquoi had more yellow than white, and why N'est-ce-pas was more white 'an yellow, and he said I sure had him there.
And perhaps she was not sensitive about it, only this was no time, Katie felt, to make Ann feel she was crowding any one. And in Katie's absence "Pet" had been shot. Pet had not seemed to realize that alley methods of defense were not in good repute in the army. He could not believe that Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas had no guile in their hearts when they pawed at him.
Rita made a little grimace, as if this were not the kind of boy she desired, but she nodded kindly at Peggy, and said she was "fine." "And you, Marguerite? How will you appear? Will you find a cap and spectacles, and come as our grandmother? That would approve itself, n'est-ce-pas?" It was laughingly said, but the sting was there, nevertheless, and was meant to be felt.
Pourquoi, Worth, is your favorite word in French. Need I add that it means 'why'? And N'est-ce-pas well, Watts would say N'est-ce-pas meant 'ain't it'? and more flexible translators find it to mean anything they are seeking to persuade you is true. Pourquoi is the inquirer and N'est-ce-pas the universalist. I trust Watts will give this his endorsement."
"But I will promise you an invitation for your chaperon and arrange for the name of the lady later n'est-ce-pas?" "Yes, I will know as soon as I return from the Nile. You are going to a lot of bother, you and your sister," declared Arlee gratefully. "I go to ask you to take a little trouble, then, for that sister," said the Captain slowly. "She is a widow and alone.
