Pécuchet was amazed above all at Jénin. What! z'annetons would be better than hannetons, z'aricots than haricots! and, under Louis XIV., the pronunciation was Roume and Monsieur de Lioune, instead of Rome and Monsieur de Lionne! Littré gave them the finishing stroke by declaring that there never had been, and never could be positive orthography.

The moste part of men in solempne burialles, shaue their heades, and let theyr beardes growe, but Thegiptians shaued their beardes and let their heades grow. They wrought their doughe with their fiete, and their claye with their handes.

Parchment. Rowles of Parchment, for that we may vent much without hurt to the Realme, and it lieth in small roume. Glew. To carie Glew, for that we haue plenty and want vent.
The great Turk hath this Shaugh in great reuerence, because he hath reigned king so long time. They vse circumcision vnto children of seuen yeeres of age, as do the Turkes. They eate on the ground, sitting on carpets crosse legged as do Tailors. There is no man so simple but he sitteth on a carpet better or worse, and the whole house or roume wherein he sitteth is wholy couered with carpets.

"Then they sent Saint Leger, the Irishman," continued Moyse, "who kept his hand in every man's pocket, whether black or white." Denis forthwith had his hands, one in Vincent's pocket, the other in Azua's. Azua, however, was drawing so fast that he did not find it out. "Then there was Roume." "Roume. My father speaks well of Roume," said Aimee.
