The reader cannot fail to recognize here, as usual, the reference to Rome, where usury was practised to an exorbitant extent. See Fiske's Manual, Sec. 270, 4. and Arnold's His. of Rome, vol. 1, passim. Universis. Whole clans, in distinction from individual owners. In vices. By turns. Al vices, vice, vicis. Doed. prefers in vicis; Rit. in vicos==for i.e. by villages.
I asked if she wore it before the Queen; I was told yes. Je ne comprens rien a cela. The whole behaviour of the Queen, in her present wretched, humiliated state, is touchante et interessante au dernier point. Elle ne rit, que quand elle ne songe pas a ses malheurs. But now, four les Evangiles du jour. I had a letter from Warner this morning before I left Richmond, dated last Thursday night.
They had bought the right of translating one of Victor Hugo's modern novels, L'Homme Qui Rit; they bad fixed a date, relying on positive pledges from the French publishers; and now the great French author had postponed his work from week to week and from month to month, and it had so come to pass that the Frenchman's grinning hero would have to appear exactly at the same time as my clergyman.
Or because their territories running out towards one another, literally, in opposite directions, Britain towards the south and Gaul towards the north, so as to approach each other. See Rit., Doed. in loc., and Freund ad diversus. Positio dedit. Aestimanti. Indef. dat. after credibile est, cf. note, G. 6. Eorum refers to the Gauls. So Caes.
We pause an instant to describe them, because, under a tyranny, whether despotic or popular, the character of the hangman becomes a subject of grave importance. These functionaries were essentially different in their appearance and manners. Louis used to call them Democritus and Heraclitus, and their master, the Provost, termed them Jean qui pleure and Jean qui rit.
'Surely, I cried to him, 'you don't want to offer yourself just as you are as a substitute for Christ? Il rit. Il rit beaucoup. Il rit trap. He has a strange smile. His mother had not a smile like that. Il rit toujours." Silence followed again. "They are cunning; they were acting in collusion on Sunday," he blurted out suddenly.... "Oh, not a doubt of it," I cried, pricking up my ears.
It's those carts, or, what was it?... the rumble of the carts carrying bread to humanity being more important than the Sistine Madonna, or, what's the saying?... une betise dans ce genre. Don't you understand, don't you understand, I said to him, 'that unhappiness is just as necessary to man as happiness. Il rit. We were silent again for a minute.
The flexus here spoken of is called sinus in chap. 37, and describes the Cimbric Chersonesus, or Danish Peninsula. See Doed., Or. and Rit. in loc. Ac primo statim. And first immediately, sc. as we begin to trace the northern coast. Lateribus, sc. the eastern. Cf. note, His. 5, 21. Sinuetur, sc. southwards. Donec sinuetur. Cf. note, 1: erumpat. Inter Germanos.
His. 1, 16: dignus eram; 3, 22: ratio fuit; and Z. 518, 519. Such is the interpretation, which after a thorough reinvestigation, I am now inclined to apply to this much disputed passage. It is that of Ritter. Besides the authority of Rit., Doed., Freund and others, I have been influenced by a regard to the usage of Tacitus, which lends no sanction to a transitive sense of cursare. Cf.
I made the blunder once myself with a Voltairean anecdote. Here it is as told in Patchwork: 'Voltaire was one day listening to a dramatic author reading his comedy, and who said, "Ici le chevalier rit!" He exclaimed: "Le chevalier est bien heureux!" I hope I told it fairly well. He smiled sadly, and said nothing, not even Et tu, Brute! In 1886 Mr.
