Vous apprendrez sans doute avec plaisir que vos enfants ont fait du progres tresremarquable dans toutes les branches de l'enseignenient, et que ces progres sont entierement du a leur amour pour le travail et a leur perseverance; nous n'avons eu que bien peu a faire avec de pareilles eleves; leur avancement est votre oeuvre bien plus que la notre; nous n'avons pas eu a leur apprendre le prix du temps et de l'instruction, elles avaient appris tout cela dans la maison paternelle, et nous n'avons eu, pour notre part, que le faible merite de diriger leurs efforts et de fournir un aliment convenable a la louable activite que vos filles ont puisees dans votre exemple et dans vos lecons.
My heart leapt with joy, as I saw George, driving Cesar, turn into the court. "Too old, Madame," he said, his eyes shining. "Though still so game that they nearly kept him. He's reserved for a second call." "And Florentin and Cognac?" The boy put his hand into his pocket and held out a slip of paper. I took it and read, "Bon pour 1,200 francs, prix de 2 chevaux, etc."
For the Grand Prix, every woman not absolutely bankrupt has a new costume, her one idea being a creation that will attract attention and eclipse her rivals. The dressmakers have had a busy time of it for weeks before. Every horse that can stand up is pressed into service for the day. For twenty-four hours before, the whole city is en fete, and Paris en fete is always a sight worth seeing.
If it is a reproach to our great Ecoles that they have not produced men superior to other educational establishments, it is still more shameful that the grand prix of the Institute has not as yet furnished a single great painter, great musician, great architect, great sculptor; just as the suffrage for the last twenty years has not elected out of its tide of mediocrities a single great statesman.
"Do you race with your motor cars?" "I entered one," he answered, "for the Prix des Ardennes. It was the third. My driver, he was not very clever." "You did not drive it yourself, then?" she asked. He laughed in a superior manner. "I do not wish," he said, "to have a broken neck. There are so many things in life which I still find very pleasant."
Big Bard McLellan stood by a porthole, his eyes always pensive with his own sadness, gazing with grave sorrow to where McElroy swung down the slope between his captors. Thus they watched his going, and he had been spared that sick pain had he known. When it was over, Prix Laroux turned back to the deserted factory and stood hesitating on its step.
As these also gave perfect satisfaction to the customer, it remained only to settle the price with Bridlesley; who of course swore his customer had pitched upon the best horse ever darkened the stable-door, since he had dealt that way; that no such horses were to be had nowadays, for that the mares were dead that foaled them; and having named a corresponding price, the usual haggling commenced betwixt the seller and purchaser, for adjustment of what the French dealers call le prix juste.
Then it was divided off into little cabinets, just holding four people that was an advantage when you were sure of your company. And for the prix fixe of two shillings they gave you quite a good dinner; also their Chianti was of exceptional quality, and according to the proprietor, it came straight from Siena.
Prix, you will pick up your weapon, also, and surrender it. Officers who forget themselves so far as to seek each other's lives upon the eve of battle, with the enemy before them, are unworthy of command. This is matter for the provost marshal." And the old soldier seated himself at the table, and eyed the offenders angrily and sternly. "May it please your excellency," said St.
"It mayn't come to that," he thought; "something may happen. If I could get my troop now, that would stave off the Jews; or, if I should win some heavy pots on the Prix de Dames, things would swim on again. I must win; the King will be as fit as in the Shires, and there will only be the French horses between us and an absolute 'walk over. Things mayn't come to the worst, after all."
