After challenging in vain her admiration for the great poets of our language, I quoted to her, not without misgiving, some charmingly graceful and tender lines, addressed to herself by her husband, and asked her if she did not like those: "Oh yes," replied she, "I think they are very nice, but you know I think they would be just as nice if they were not verses; and whenever I hear any poetry that I like at all, I always think how much better I should like it if it was prose;" an explanation of her taste that irresistibly reminded me of the delightful Frenchman's sentiment about spinach: "Je n'aime pas les épinards, et je suis si content que je ne les aime pas! parce que si je les aimais, j'en mangerais beaucoup, et je ne peux pas les souffrir."
Oui, chère Ellen Terry; ce que j'ai donné vous appartient; ce que j'ai dit, je le peux encore, et je vous aime et admire comme toujours.... "J'espère que vous accepterez cette ancienne lettre que j'ai rendue plus claire et un peu mieux écrite. Vous en serez contente avec moi car, ainsi faisant, j'ai eu le moyen de vous dire que je vous aime et de vous le dire deux fois. "A vous de coeur,

He had seen gambling- tables during his three weeks' visit to Germany, and he felt sure that this child must have seen them too. "Eh! What an insupportable heat!" cried a harsh high-pitched voice behind him. "Monsieur Jules, I will repose myself for a few minutes, if you will have the goodness to fetch me a glass of eau sucrée. Je n'en peux plus!"
He was conscious of a certain suave sweetness and melancholy in the swing of the lines, though they did not appeal to him very forcibly. "En un cruel orage On me laisse perir; En courant au naufrage Je vois chacun me plaindre et mil me secourir, Felicite passee Qui ne peux revenir Tourment de ma pensee Que n'ai-je en te perdant perdu le souvenir!
A Paris ou notre existence materielle etait pleine d'ennuis, j'etais pourtant heureux. Il ne faut pas de ton cote etre triste parce que je le suis, du moins si tu peux l'eviter. C'est une affaire de deux ou trois semaines, voila tout. De mon cote je suis si occupe que je n'ai pas le temps de penser a moi- meme, et je travaille avec la regularite d'un homme de bureau.
A thought came to him: how like his performances in his room at college when he had heard that a relative was coming to see him. He tiptoed downstairs. "Bien. Tu peux venir, Jeanne," he said. She sat down rather stiffly in the straight-backed armchair beside the fire. "How pretty the fire is," she said. "Jeanne, I think I'm crazily in love with you," said Andrews in an excited voice.
Rather more slowly than she had come up, she retraced her steps to the bottom floor. At the last landing she stopped, listening acutely. "Non, non, je ne peux pas, je ne peux pas le faire!" It was the Frenchwoman's voice, high-pitched, emotional, the protest wrung from her as if in agony. What was she saying?
J'espere que cette retraite n'est pas trop ridicule. Un bon general, dit-on, se distingue tout autant dans la retraite que dans l'avance; et comme par le fait il y a manque de vivres puisque je ne peux pas manger il me semble que la prudence conseille ce que les Americains appelaient 'un mouvement strategique' quand ils avaient ete battus." "AMIENS. Lundi matin.
The woman looked her over again with a softened glance, touched, perhaps, by the tremor that shook her visitor's voice. "Mademoiselle est souffrante?" "Non, madame, pas trop, ce n'est pas ça mais il y a quelqu'un qui est en danger quelqu'un qu'il faut prévenir. Si je peux trouver un taxi " "Gaston! Vite! Cherche un taxi pour mademoiselle. Va!"
