He said I should have ten pistoles when I let him know the hour." "I cannot mend that. It lies between you and him. I have not seen or heard of any money." Martin edged up close to the door of retreat and waxed defiant.
"/Pardieu, Monsieur le Comte,/" answered Harley, in the same language, which lends itself so well to polished sarcasm and high-bred enmity, "let us distinguish. Explanation should come from me, I allow; but atonement I have the honour to resign to yourself. This vessel " "Is mine!" cried the count. "Those men, who insult me, should be in my pay."
"'Well, repeated he, 'are you all deaf? I asked if any of you knew how to play on an instrument. "'Pardieu! said a voice, which I recognized as that of the young officer; 'there's M. Louet, who plays the bass. "I wished myself a hundred feet under ground. "'Which is M. Louet? said the brigand.
"Pardieu! Father Abbot," said the stranger. "One had but to glance at you and your men to see that the business was indeed little to your taste, and it may be even less so when I say that rather than see this young person in the window, who hath a noble bearing, further molested by these archers, I will myself adventure my person on his behalf."
"It means that I am going to Antibes and I shall be very glad to take you there for nothing." "This is a fine jest! You are joking, surely?" "Your company will be very pleasant on the journey." "Pardieu! put me ashore, for with your leave, ladies, I cannot go to Antibes." "Put the gentleman ashore," said I to the master, "he does not seem to like our company."

Sire, it needs only to will. A nation is driven like a horse, with spur and bridle; and as we are all good horsemen, your Majesty has only to choose among us."
