Diable! then sought every pocket pocket by pocket, round, not forgetting his fob: Peste! then La Fleur emptied them upon the floor, pulled out a dirty cravat, a handkerchief, a comb, a whip lash, a nightcap, then gave a peep into his hat, Quelle etourderie! He had left the letter upon the table in the auberge; he would run for it, and be back with it in three minutes.
"Not one word against the pictures," replied the other. "How else here do I live?" "No journals," pursued Truesdale; "no demi-tasse, no clientele, no leisure. No," he added, with the idea of a more general summing up, "nor any excursions; nor any general market; nor any military; nor even any morgue. And five francs for a cab. Quelle ville!"
Aldegonde's affection, I find continual matter to suspect it inclined to a peace, and that as one notably prejudging our scope and proceeding in this cause, doth lie in wait for an occasion to set it forward, being, as it seems, fed with a hope of 'telle quelle liberte de conscience, which the Prince of Parma and others of his council have, as he confesseth, earnestly solicited at the King's hands.
Even the countess dismissed her indifference for the moment, as she held out her hand to Madame Le Mois. "Dear Madame Le Mois and it goes well with you? And the gout and the rheumatism, they have ceased to torment you? Quelle bonne nouvelle! And here are the dear old cocks and the wounded bantam. The cockatoos ah, there they are, still swinging in the air!
"A man with no country and with a flag that belongs to no country quelle affaire et quelle drolerie!" She laughed. Taken aback in spite of his anger, he stared at her. How good her French accent was! If she would only speak altogether in that beloved language, he could smother much malice. She was beautiful and well, who could tell?
She has so often to show him his way like a babe, and yet she says to him, Mon grand homme! my master! my lord! Pshaw! I have often thought that women are half saints, half fools, and men half fools, half rogues. But Quelle vie! what life! without a woman you are half a man; with one you are bound to a single spot in the world, you are tied by the leg, your wing is clipped you cannot have all.
Dinner was hardly removed, when a letter was delivered to Madam Duval. The moment she had read it, she hastily demanded from whom it came. "A country boy brought it," answered the servant," but he would not wait." "Run after him this instant!" cried she, "and be sure you bring him back. Mon Dieu! quelle aventure! que feraije?" "What's the matter? what's the matter?" said the Captain.
He says that "la chevre est le genie malfaisant de la Regence.... Plus que le despotisme, plus que le fatalisme, elle a ruine le pays: c'est la chevre, en effet, qui deboise et surtout qui s'oppose au reboisement, et l'on sait quelle influence a eue sur le regime des eaux et sur la fertilite du sol le deboisement de la province d'Afrique."
Half-tipsy men and noisome, naked urchins seemed to have sprung from everywhere. "Oho, quelle aristo!" they shouted with ironical astonishment, gazing at the young girl's face, fingering her gown, thrusting begrimed, hate-distorted faces close to her own. Instinctively she recoiled and backed towards the house immediately on her left.
