I can mimic an Englishman so perfectly I might have pretended to be Lord Byron, travelling incognito. Sapristi! I'll command the troops of Ali, pacha of Janina!" During this mental monologue, the coucou rolled through clouds of dust rising on either side of it from that much travelled road. "What dust!" cried Mistigris. "Henry IV. is dead!" retorted his master.
I will keep the fun to myself. Shut the door. Is the Chief here yet?" "No, Gospodin." "Sapristi! Never mind, shut the door shut the door!" Velasco roused suddenly. He looked about him, dazed for a moment; then he sprang forward, attacking the Cossack and tearing the case from his hands. His eyes were bright and eager; his voice coming in little leaps from his throat, full of joy and relief.
Mercedes laughed out of the depths of a heart apparently untroubled. "My, but eet vas so ver' big, señor. See! I cannot make de fingers to go round no, no. I nevah see such arm nevah. But you no care? You vas dat great big all over, hey? Sapristi! who de woman help like such a big Americano?" "B-but that ain't it, M-M-M-Mercedes," blurted out the perturbed giant, in desperation.
Don't talk to her; just hang about the church until I come. Remember, we spend the night there." "Sapristi, a night in a church!" "It won't hurt you for once," smiled M. Paul. "There's a bed to sleep on, and a lot to talk about. You know we begin the great campaign to-morrow." Tignol rubbed his hands in satisfaction. "The sooner the better."
But one or two men were uneasy and stood with strained eyes. There was something peculiar about the cut of those wings en haut. They seemed to bend back at the tips, unlike a Bleriot, with its straight spread of canvas. "Sapristi! une Taube! ... Attention, mon vieux!" In some side streets of Paris a hard thing hit the earth and opened it with a crash.
'Excellent! 'In order to save the life of her lover. There was a struggle in the face of the young hussar, but his more generous nature won. 'Sapristi! I will do even that if it will make her the happier! he cried, and he shook the hand which I extended towards him. 'The Hussars of Bercheny are quartered over yonder, where you see the lines of picketed horses.
We waited, waited in our trenches, till the green-gray mob was near enough. Then the word came. Sapristi! We let loose with mitrailleuse, rifle, field-gun, everything that would throw death. It did not seem like fighting with men. It was like trying to stop a monstrous thing, a huge, terrible mass that was rushing on to overwhelm us. The waves tumbled and broke before they reached us.
"Coal oil and gunpowder!" cried Monsieur Thuran. "SAPRISTI! What a diet for shipwrecked mariners!" With the full knowledge that there was neither food nor water on board, the pangs of hunger and thirst became immediately aggravated, and so on the first day of their tragic adventure real suffering commenced in grim earnest, and the full horrors of shipwreck were upon them.
"Not possible!" and he carefully sealed down a letter he had been writing and put it ready to be posted. Then he came over and took some cigarettes from a Faberger enamel box and offered her one. Harietta smoked most of the day but she refused now. "You have come, not for pleasure, but to talk! Sapristi! I am duly amazed!"
I called him back into the hut, therefore, in order that I might have time to consider what I had best do with him. 'Sapristi! a couple of cuts of that wood-axe, and a bed in the softest corner of the marsh, would have settled the business at once, said the fellow by my side. 'Quite true, my good Toussac; but it is not usual to lead off with your ace of trumps.
