The child himself realised something unusual, and he sat perfectly still, two small hands spread out on the big arms. "You always believed in me, 'tresse Aimable," Guida said at last in a low voice. "Oui-gia, what else?" was the instant reply. The quick responsiveness of her own voice seemed to confound the Femme de Ballast, and her face suffused.

"That poor Maitre Ranulph," said Dormy, "once he was lively as a basket of mice; but now " "Well, now, achocre?" she said irritably, stamping her foot. "Now the cat's out of the bag oui-gia!" "You're as cunning as a Norman you've got things in your noddee!" she cried with angry impatience. He nodded, grinning. "As thick as haws," he answered.
"Why did Detricand Duke turn Philip Duke out of duchy, see him killed, then fetch him home to Jersey like a brother? Ah, man pethe benin, that's beyond me! "Those great folks does things their own ways; oui-gia," remarked the jailer. "Why did Detricand Duke go back to France?" asked Maitre Damian, cocking his head wisely; "why did he not stay for obsequies he?"
Pardingue, but my heart hurts me!" she added suddenly, and catching the hand that held the little gold cane she kissed it with impulsive ardour. "You have been so good to me oui-gia!" she said with a gulp, and then she dropped the hand and turned and fled to the boat rocking in the surf.
The wind, the sea, and people we live with, they make us sing their song one way or another. It's in our bones." A look of pain passed over Guida's face, and she did not reply to his remark, but turned almost abruptly to the doorway, saying, with just the slightest hesitation: "You will come in?"

A voice came shrilly over the head of the centenier. "As white as you'll look yellow one day, bat'd'lagoule! Yellow and green, oui-gia yellow like a bad apple, and cowardly green as a leek." This was Manon Moignard the witch.
While the excited crowd tried to break through the cordon of mounted guards, Mattingley, by a twist and a jerk, freed his corded hands. Loosing the rope at his neck he opened his eyes and looked around him, dazed and dumb. The Apprentice came forward. "I'll shorten the rope oui-gia! Then you shall see him swing," he grumbled viciously to the Vicomte.
But though he lingered, somehow he seemed withdrawn from all these things; they were to him now as pictures of a distant past. Dormy plucked at his coat. "Come, come, lift your feet, lift your feet," said he; "it's no time to walk in slippers. The old man will be getting scared, oui-gia!" Ranulph roused himself. Yes, yes, he must hurry on.
"For, see you, the Race! And that was the first night after the storm, and it would be running like the deuce, bidemme!" "It's best not to know how to swim if it leads you to do things like that, oui-gia!" "When a man's time comes, he cuts his cleft in the water, whether he can swim or not, crais b'en!"
