"Done, mon ami!" said Josephine, innocently. "Why, I fear I have taken cold." I groaned aloud. "Taken cold!" I muttered to myself. "Would to Heaven you had taken prussic acid!" "Qu'est ce que c'est?" asked she. But it was not worth while to reply. I gave myself up to my fate. I determined to remonstrate no more.

'Qu'est ce qu'un chancelier? said Winifred, with slightly contemptuous indifference. 'A chancelier is a chancellor, and a chancellor is, I believe, a sort of judge, said Gerald coming up and shaking hands with Gudrun. 'You'll have made a song of Bismarck soon, said he. Mademoiselle waited, and discreetly made her inclination, and her greeting.

Hégisippe saluted and declared his enchantment according to the manners of his country. Sypher raised his hat politely. "Of Sypher's Cure Friend of Humanity. Don't forget that," he said laughingly in French. "Qu'est ce que c'est que ça?" asked Hégisippe, turning to Septimus. Septimus explained.

Qu'est ce qu'il a fait? What has he done? That was Napoleon's test. What have you done?

On passing the gate, I was accosted by a person who exclaimed in a tone of great kindness, "Qu'as tu, ma bonne? qu'est ce qui vous afflige?" Knowing the risk I should run in representing the real cause of my concern, I immediately thought of ascribing it to the loss of the property of which I had been plundered.

Even now Quebec was full of pilgrim poor begging against the hard winter, and execrating their spoilers. Doltaire was too fond of digging at the heart of things not to admit she spoke truth.
