"Pon my word," replied the valet, "I do tink dat dere be great occasion for your honour losing a small quantite of blodt; and the young man ave quelque chose of de bonne mine."
And we must acknowledge that "les lettres et les arts ont aussi leurs emeutes et leurs revolutions," and accept the inference of one of the Parisian literati, that "l'esprit a toujours quelque chose de satanique."
Voyez vous encore jour, a quelque arrangement honnete? Have you made many acquaintances among the young Frenchmen who ride at your Academy; and who are they? Send to me this sort of chit-chat in your letters, which, by the bye, I wish you would honor me with somewhat oftener.

The latter was amazed on beholding Grill, with the jar in his hand; having always held Monsieur to be the vainest of mortals, quite incapable of carrying a stone bottle across the country. 'Ah, mon cher ami, voila quelque chose pour vous! exclaimed Monsieur, evidently delighted to see Clare.

"Oh, Emile, my heart feels so queer! I'm sure it must be all wrong." "Ma foi! Ces femmes la! Il y a tou jours quelque chose! First a faint, then a heart! How often am I to tell you, Arithelli, that that part of your your how do you say it? anatomy is quite without use here? Have you any brandy in the room?" "There's Eau de Cologne on the washstand."
Blair was the eminent author. It is in Boswell's manner to introduce the same person in consecutive paragraphs as if there were two persons. See ante, ii. 256. Chappe D'Auteroche writes: 'La douceur de sa physionomie et sa vivacité annonçaient plutôt quelque indiscrétion que l'ombre d'un crime.
"Of course, the historian, Boulainvilliers, advocates the 'Germany, from its mention of the origin of the feudal system, that incomparable bundle of excellences, which Le Comte de Boulainvilliers has declared to be le chef d'oeuvre de l'esprit humain; and which the same gentleman regrets, in the most pathetic terms, no longer exists in order that the seigneur may feed upon des gros morceaux de boeuf demi-cru, may hang up half his peasants pour encourager les autres, and ravish the daughters of the defunct pour leur donner quelque consolation."
