He should be deposited sur son maniveau, and be fairly asked his opinion, and forced to give it, one way or the other, en pleine assemble, for at present it is only we who can tell s'il est chair ou poisson. . . . Of Queensberry. See note . Thurlow.
I shall now proceed to investigate the merits of the former, at the Theatre Francais. Parts of noble Fathers. VANHOVE and NAUDET. VANHOVE. This actor is rather more sufferable in comedy than tragedy; but in both he is very monotonous, and justifies the lines applied to him by a modern satirist, M. DESPAZE: "VANHOVE, plus heureux, psalmodie a mon gre; Quel succes l'attendait, s'il eut ete Cure!"
Where am I? Miles from the Rue Haute! Conducteur! Arrêtez, s'il vous plaît." The Bruxellois felt very disheartened in the closing months of 1917. The Russian revolution had brought about the collapse of Russia as an enemy of Germany; and the Germans were enabled to transport most of their troops on the Russian frontier to the west and to the Italian frontier.
D'Estaing was by training an infantry officer, and his appointment to such an important naval command is eloquent of the effect of court influence in demoralizing the navy. "S'il avait été aussi marin que brave," was the generous remark of Suffren on this man.
At noon the train had not moved, and I lunched in the compartment. At four o'clock in the afternoon the station-master came hurrying along the platform, crying, 'Montez! montez! messieurs, s'il vous plaît' and the train steamed out of the station and whirled away through the flat, treeless Belgian plains.
But he could not wait; he was colossally vain; he would wear the peacock's feathers at all times and all costs: he was intensely pleasure-loving, too; his mouth watered for every fruit. Besides, he couldn't write with creditors at the door. Like Bossuet he was unable to work when bothered about small economies: "s'il etait a l'etroit dans son domestique". What was to be done?
"Essuyez vos beaux yeux, Madame de Longueville, Coligny se porte mieux. S'il a demandé la vie, Ne l'en blâmez nullement; Car c'est pour être votre amant Qu'il veut vivre éternellement." THAT Madame de Longueville witnessed the duel on the Place Royale seems to rest on no reliable authority.
"'This way, mademoiselle. "'Madame! I ventured to correct in a weak voice. "'Vos clefs, s'il vous plait, said a polite official as we entered the door, and another laid hands on the satchels we carried, to examine them. "We had entirely forgotten the octroi officers. The next thing to there not being a necessity, is not seeing a necessity, and this I prepared in the most innocent manner to do.
"Pour les blessés, s'il vous plaît," cried a tall young woman in the costume and blue cape of a Red-Cross nurse as she walked along the platform shaking a tin collection box under the windows of the train. To our compartment came three of the convalescents.
No one seemed to mind or worry. "He will arrive" they said optimistically, and talked of other things. At every station fascinating-looking infirmières from the French Red Cross, clad in white from top to toe, stepped into the carriage jingling little white tin boxes. "Messieurs, Mesdames, pour les blessés, s'il vous plaît," they begged, and everyone fumbled without a murmur in their pockets.
