In no time at all they'd have Old Bill himself trussed up in chains and carried back to the little old U.S.A., and exhibited around the country at two-bits a peek. Guess that wouldn't be a nifty way to help pay for the war!
The shutters were closed, no light came from any of the stores or houses along the street, but from behind the closed door of the café came the sound of voices and laughter mixed with the metallic banging of a very old piano beating out tuneless accompaniment to a bull-voiced singer roaring through the many verses of "Hinkey Dinkey Parlez Vous".
We have never had more delightful balls in Warsaw than have been given since so many Russian regiments have been stationed there." "You have danced with those who have murdered your brothers and relatives? danced while the people of Poland are trodden under foot!" "Ah, bah!

He didn't know in the least what it was about, and didn't seem to care; but saying that he would make a good profit out of it at Quaritch's, went into the shop.

I decided to give him a tremor; and said to the hippo "Un peu, Monsieur," at which the little thing looked sickly. The hippopotamus benevolently remarked "Voo parlez bien," and his glasses fell off. He turned to the watchful planton: "Voo poovez aller. Je vooz appelerai."
The street being extremely old, of course the houses were very large, forming, as all houses do in Paris, little squares entered by folding doors, at one side of which, in a sort of lodge, lives the Porter "Parlez au Portier" who receives letters, parcels, and communications for the several occupiers, consisting sometimes of twenty or thirty different establishments in one house.
'Parlez moi de ca': you could not come to a better man. I have a list of all the heiresses at Paris, bound in russia leather. You may take your choice out of twenty. Ah, if I were but a Rochebriant!

Now you've got him!" cried Sally. "Ask him what he's talking about if he knows, which I doubt and tell him to speak slowly. Then we shall get somewhere." The young man nodded intelligently. The advice was good. "Lentement," he said. "Parlez lentement. Pas si you know what I mean pas si dashed vite!" "Ah-a-ah!" cried Jules, catching the idea on the fly. "Lentement. Ah, oui, lentement."
Bobbie had never been anywhere near the top of her French class, but she must have learned something without knowing it, for now, looking at those wild, hunted eyes, she actually remembered and, what is more, spoke, some French words.
