Gounod, in his low and drawly voice, said: "Vous nous donnez, mon cher Auber, des choses par trop ennuyeuses aux concerts du Conservatoire. A la pensee des 'Quatre saisons' de Haydn je m'endors. Pourquoi ne s'est-il pas contente d'une saison?" Princess Metternich replied, "Que probablement en les composant Haydn s'est mis en quatre."

Pourquoi pas?" laughter "Quand j'ai regardé le couleur de ton nes l'autre soir, j'étais complètement bouleversé, j' t'assure!" "Ah, formidable!" then another shrill cackle. It was beyond endurance. There was no use trying further.

"Charlie, do you know that night after night she cries as if her poor little heart were broken?" Saltash's eyebrow descended again. He scowled hideously. "Mais pourquoi? I have not broken it. I have never even made love to her." Maud's face was very compassionate. "Perhaps that is why. She is so young so forlorn and so miserable. Is it quite impossible for you to forgive her?"

"Pourquoi pas?" She lifted her eyes slowly to his face. "I have told you," she said. "You're not in earnest!" he protested. She kept her look steadily upon him. "Charles Rex, I am in earnest."

Pourquoi se mele t'il de ce qui ne le regarde pas." Le Pretre de Nemi. The Devil, according to Dr. Johnson and other authorities, was the first Whig.

Having sobbingly disclosed her woes, she was allowed to return to town. Meanwhile Jerome was saying, "Ma belle femme, pourquoi ne revient-elle de la campagne." One morning, as Mme.

His plans were grandiose, and included Constantinople as capital. "Pourquoi pas?" he asked. It would prevent the Great Powers from quarrelling over it, and therefore make for peace! His curled mustachios, his perfumes, his incomparable aplomb, his airs of a "Serene Highness" formed a magnificent stock-in-trade. Nevertheless Albert Ghika hung around the back doors of the Balkans for some time.
