The courtier-bore has sometimes crept into the English parliament. But is common on the continent: infinite varieties, as le courtisan propre, courtisan homme d'etat, and le courtisan philosophe a curious but not a rare kind in France, of which M. de Voltaire was one of the finest specimens.
There was something so wistful and kind and honest in Graham's expression as he stood there, looking down on his patient, that M. Linders was touched, perhaps, for he held out his hand with a little friendly gesture; but even then he could not, or would not abandon his latest pose of dying en philosophe.
She smiled too, and Jean Jacques saw how beautiful her teeth were cruel no longer. He moved away slowly. At the door he turned, and looked back at the two a long, lingering look he gave. Then he faced away from them again. "Moi je suis philosophe," he said gently, and opened the door and stepped out and away into the frozen world. Change might lay its hand on the parish of St.
Study great men in their conversation and learn by heart the admirable arguments by which they condemn poetry and the pleasures of imagination.

Countess Betty softly left the room, and outside she said to Madame Bonnechose, much troubled, "Chère amie, my brother requires of us that we have devotions; there is nothing to be done, so please call the chamber-maids and the butler, ô ma chère, il est terriblement philosophe."

On the 5th of March we marched through Lillers and Béthune again to Beuvry and, after staying one night there, moved the following day to Annequin and Sailly Labourse, where we were responsible for the defence of the Annequin locality. The 1st Corps scheme of defence was a series of fortified localities, Philosophe, Cambrin, Annequin, Noyelles, and many others further West as far as Vaudricourt.
