I will forget that you are 'my lord: I will call you 'Master James, I will call the duchess, 'Dame James, your children shall call me Father Polyphème; I will tell them of my battles, and it will go on like that, vitam æternam." "Yes! yes! we accept; you shall never leave us," said James and Angela together, their eyes filled with tears.
Come, come, Polyphème, you lose your head, my friend; because you encounter two little peasants you imagine " he shrugged his shoulders; "it is hardly worth while to have this big white beard at one's chin only to give way to such visions! If it is to make such discoveries that you return from Moscow, Polyphème, you might just as well have done "
"A moment I must say to you that when Polyphème Croustillac wishes to please, he pleases; when he pleases, one loves him; and when one loves him, one loves him madly and unto death." "Clasp hands, brother." "I will not touch your hand until you tell me if you will accept me openly for your rival?" "And if not?" "If not, break my head; you will be right in so doing.
"That admitted, Polyphème, how will you evade the fate that threatens you? "Just at present this road is hardly favorable for escape, I know; rocks on the right hand, on the left the sea, in front of and behind me the escort. My horse is not bad; if it was better than that of the good Chemerant, I might make a trial of swiftness with him. "And then, Polyphème?
Mancate Semhians, stumbling across portmanteaux crammed with lexicons and dictionaries and other tubes of the voice of Hermes, takes possession of berths in the ship Polypheme, bound, as they mutually conceive, for the biggest adventure ever embarked on by a far-thoughted, high-thoughted, patriotic pair speaking pure Saxon or other.

How all things hang together in fate!
Now, what remains for me to hope?" said Croustillac, adopting, as was his wont, the interrogative form to make what he called his "examination of conscience." "Now, then, be frank, Polyphème, do you care much for life? "Eh! eh! "What say you to being hanged? "H m, h m. "Come, now, frankly?
