"Such was the object of my question," said I, calmly, and determining not to notice the manner he had assumed. "Parbleu!" exclaimed he, "that is very different. Twenty thousand francs, however, is a considerable sum." "I have as much, and something more, if need be, in my carriage, if English gold be no objection." "No, pardie! that it is not," cried he, laughing; "I only wish we saw more of it.
Parbleu! if you are not satisfied, dogs, burst!" This reminded Marius of the wretched girl's errand to himself. He fumbled in his waistcoat pocket, and found nothing there. The young girl went on, and seemed to have no consciousness of Marius' presence. "I often go off in the evening. Sometimes I don't come home again. Last winter, before we came here, we lived under the arches of the bridges.
"Why, it was the house of a Huguenot gentleman, M. de Béthune," he answered, bringing out the name hesitatingly in a low voice. "They were all put to the sword the whole household.

But suddenly we heard a noise in front; your hussars fell back, and a column of your heavy dragoons came thundering down upon us. Parbleu! they swept over us as if we were broken infantry; and there! there!" said he, pointing to the courtyard, from whence the groans of the wounded still rose, "there are the fruits of that terrible charge."
"You will sign the photographs, Tante and you will say, yes, you must 'To my kind little admirers. Now be merciful."

"Very sorry, monsieur; but I was here first, and will not sail second." "I am sorry, too, monsieur; but I arrived second, and must sail first." "The king's service!" said the gentleman. "My own service!" said d'Artagnan. "But this is a needless quarrel you seek with me, as it seems to me." "PARBLEU! What do you desire it to be?" "What do you want?" "Would you like to know?" "Certainly."
A scream of delight from Suzanne followed this sally, which was received by Gaspard and Hippolyte with a rattle of sacres, and despite our irritation the Colonel, Monsieur Gratiot, and myself with a burst of involuntary laughter. "Parbleu," said the Colonel, choking, "it is a pity to disturb such a one. Gratiot, if it was my boat, I'd delay the departure till morning."
"Parbleu, Monsieur! rather put that question to his Gray Eminence, who comes to visit you," answered the faithful servant, pointing to Joseph, who advanced with his arms crossed, making a salutation with a frowning air. "Ah, it will be he, then!" murmured Cinq-Mars. "Perhaps I come inopportunely," said Joseph, soothingly.
