"Well, and by my faith," said Athos, "it must be acknowledged that this Englishman is worthy of being loved. I never saw a man with a nobler air than his." "Without reckoning that he dresses as nobody else can," said Porthos. "I was at the Louvre on the day when he scattered his pearls; and, PARDIEU, I picked up two that I sold for ten pistoles each. Do you know him, Aramis?"
He has snatched away This deserving young man; He took him away to Bougre, The Christian women marvelled at him. Pardieu! O Mussulmans, you Have repudiated Kabyle honor." Hanoteau, Preface, p. iii. Hanoteau, p. 94. With the Berbers of lower Morocco the women's songs are called by the Arab name Eghna.
"Now, sir," he said, "you may dress. We will retire." "Pardieu!" said the commandant in French, "a hundred thousand thanks." We had scarcely closed the bedroom door when three shots were heard. "The signal!" exclaimed Clark. Immediately a pandemonium broke on the silence of the night that must have struck cold terror in the hearts of the poor Creoles sleeping in their beds.
"Knave!" he repeated with a snarl. "What price are you paid by that boy?" "Pardieu, St. Auban! You shall answer to me for this." "Answer for it? To you!" And he laughed harshly. "You are mad, my master. When did a St. Auban cross swords with a man of your stamp?"
The answer failed to conciliate her; there was an accent of compassion in it that ill-suited her pride, and a lack of admiration that was not less new and unwelcome. "It was well for you that I was unsexed enough to be able to send an ounce of lead into a drunkard!" she pursued with immeasurable disdain. "If I had been like that dainty aristocrate down there pardieu! It had been worse for you.
You promised him an abbey." "Pardieu! it is the least you can do for him, after all be has done for you." "He is then still devoted to me?" "He adores you. Apropos, my son " "What?" "In three weeks it will be the Fete Dieu." "Well!" "Are we to have some pretty little procession?" "I am the most Christian king, and it is my duty to set an example to my subjects."
Yet I would have you speak out more plainly! I play not easily into the hands of strangers." "Why not? You could hardly be worse off than you are now." "Pardieu! you are not so far wrong in your philosophy, friend. Still I stick to my text, and if you care to hold further speech with me it will be well to declare yourself. I have ever been a bit careful as to my associates."
"A private of Chateauroy's?" asked the Tirailleur, lifting his eye-glass to watch the Chasseur as he went. "Pardieu yes more's the pity," said Chanrellon, who spoke his thoughts as hastily as a hand-grenade scatters its powder. "The Black Hawk hates him God knows why and he is kept down in consequence, as if he were the idlest lout or the most incorrigible rebel in the service.
"In proportion as one loves powder, one has been a scoundrel, mon General," he murmured; "what the catalogue of your crimes must be!" The tough old campaigner laughed grimly; he took it as a high compliment. "Sapristi! The cardinal virtues don't send anybody, I guess, into African service. And yet, pardieu, I don't know. What fellows I have known!
"And in short," interrupted Tourangeau, "what do you hold to be true and certain?" "Alchemy." Coictier exclaimed, "Pardieu, Dom Claude, alchemy has its use, no doubt, but why blaspheme medicine and astrology?" "Naught is your science of man, naught is your science of the stars," said the archdeacon, commandingly. "That's driving Epidaurus and Chaldea very fast," replied the physician with a grin.
