Jean I dared not face the crowd, always quick to remark the poverty of those above them, but was fain to keep within doors and wear out my patience in the garret of the cutler's house in the Rue de la Coutellerie, which was all the lodging I could now afford. Pardieu, 'tis a strange world! Strange that time seems to me; more strange compared with this.
Perhaps the most peculiar origin of all belongs to some surnames which seem to have come from oaths or exclamations. The fairly common names Pardoe, Pardie, etc., come from the older name Pardieu, or "By God," a solemn form of oath. We have, too, the English form in the name Bigod. Names like Rummiley come from the old cry of sailors, Rummylow, which they used as sailors use "Heave-ho" now.
"I must, Sire, when your Majesty invites me to dinner." The king burst into laughter, and his temper, which I believe was all a play, vanished to the winds. "Pardieu! you're a glib fellow, Mar. But I didn't invite you to dinner for your own sake, little as you can imagine it. So you would have joined my flag four years ago, had I not been a stinking heretic?" "Aye, Sire, I needs must have.

He made Louis XI. put out his tongue, shook his head, made a grimace, and in the very midst of these affectations, "Pardieu, sire," he suddenly said, "I must tell you that there is a receivership of the royal prerogatives vacant, and that I have a nephew." "I give the receivership to your nephew, Gossip Jacques," replied the king; "but draw this fire from my breast."
"I never saw him before, my Lord of Northumberland," answered one of the gentlemen thus addressed; "but, pardieu, he who knows all the Neviles by eye must know half England."
"No, no; I have already once in my life killed another such swordsman as you are; I will even say a better swordsman than you. Pardieu! you know him; he, too, was one of De Guise's retainers a lawyer, too." "Ah! Nicolas David!" said Borromée, terrified at the incident, and again placing himself on the defensive. "Exactly so." "It was you who killed him?"
"Pardieu," said Montreal, with a stern smile, "I ought to be thankful for the preference shown to me; I have not yet received the commands, nor felt the vengeance, of the Tribune; yet, methinks, my humble castle lies just within the patrimony of St. Peter." "Pardon me, Signor Cavalier," said the youth; "but do I address the renowned Knight of St.
M. Max began hastily to dress. He discovered, in endeavoring to fasten his collar, that his skin was wet with cold perspiration.
