Believing that he had lost his bet the incorrigible joker thought it amusing to pretend that he had won it. But a serious question presents itself. Is that dinner to include the clerks who are dismissed?" Poiret. "And those who retire?" Bixiou. Gentlemen, there's a great deal in that anagram of Colleville's.

"The sergents de ville in the story below you," cried Poiret, "are going to defend themselves, They are making a barricade across the door of their corridor. We have no arms, but we have courage. Don't let us be shot down by the rabble." It was proposed to make a hole in the floor, and so to communicate with the sergents de ville.

John and Lannes sat down at a small table covered with a neat white cloth, and Madame, walking quickly and lightly, served them with bread, cold meat and light red wine. The smaller children hovered in the background and looked curiously at the young foreigner who wore the French uniform. "May I ask your name, Madame?" John asked politely. "Poiret," she said.

It's just an attack of imagination, complicated by clothes-instinct." "That's all that ails Poiret," Buck would retort. Early in the autumn, when women were still walking with an absurd sidewise gait, like a duck, or a filly that is too tightly hobbled, the junior partner of the firm began to show unmistakable signs of business aberration.

Perhaps it is in that sense that more than one deputy says in his heart, 'It is a fine thing to be a director-general. But in the interests of our noble French language and of the Academy " And so, papa Poiret, don't you see it is clear that the government clerk comes to a final end at the head of a division?

But stay, I am wrong to call it a proposal; I should say contract. A wager constitutes a contract." Fleury. "No, no; you can only apply the word 'contract' to agreements that are recognized in the Code. Now the Code allows of no action for the recovery of a bet." Dutocq. "Proscribe a thing and you recognize it." Bixiou. "Good! my little man." Poiret. "Dear me!" Fleury.

As to the memory which would prove certain relations between Madame and my Sosie which she does not blush to own you yourself laughed at. Allow me, monsieur, in the interests of truth, which I am far more anxious to establish for my own sake than you can be for the sake of justice, to ask this lady Madame Foiret " "Poiret."

You are making mountains out of molehills at the outset." Two days later, Poiret and Mlle. Michonneau were sitting together on a bench in the sun. They had chosen a little frequented alley in the Jardin des Plantes, and a gentleman was chatting with them, the same person, as a matter of fact, about whom the medical student had, not without good reason, his own suspicions.

"And you do a service to our country," said Poiret. "Really, you are talking in a very sensible manner tonight, that you are," said the head of the department. "Yes, of course, we are serving our country, and we are very hardly used too. We do society very great services that are not recognized.

Michonneau slipped on the shirt again. "Ouf! How heavy he is," he added, as he laid the convict down. "Hush! Suppose there is a strong-box here!" said the old maid briskly; her glances seemed to pierce the walls, she scrutinized every article of the furniture with greedy eyes. "Could we find some excuse for opening that desk?" "It mightn't be quite right," responded Poiret to this.
