Scarcely had Lloyd finished a single chapter when one of the guards appeared with as much of surprise on his stolid countenance as an overworked under jailer can show; for an unprecedented thing had happened a prisoner au secret was to receive a visitor, a young woman, at that, and, sapristi, a good-looking one, who came with a special order from the director of the prison.
"Oh, the Prince will soon be here," said I, "and then it will all be over." "All be over? Ah, sapristi! Mademoiselle does not know. The Prince means the priests: and the priests mean Bon! have I not heard my grandmother tell?" "Tell what, Lucette? I thought you were a Papist, like all Frenchwomen." "A Catholic I? Why then came my grandfather to this country, and my father, and all?
And one can see, with half an eye, that is the sort of woman who can appreciate intellect!" "It will be for you, Signor Conte, to prove to her that our city is not deficient in that respect. Sapristi? Would you desire a better subject? What do you say to an ode, now, on the rising of a new constellation on the shores of the Adriatic? Hein!
On the other hand, I had not expected the banal, the perfectly commonplace. And I think that Miss Annie Brett was the most banal person that it has pleased Fate to send into my life. I knew that instantly. She was a condemnation of Simon Fuge. SHE, one of the 'wonderful creatures who had played so large a part' in the career of Simon Fuge! Sapristi!
He cannot throw the knives any more. Look, last night he hit his wife. Twice, three, times he threw the knives into her. Sapristi! It is the stubbornness of womankind. "I will tell you. Why does she eat, eat, eat? Why does she grow fat? Because she no longer loves me. No, she do it on purpose to ruin me."
And a few appeared embossed with wounds, covered with black mercurial hog lard, with green unguents of belladonna smeared with grains of dust and the yellow micas of iodoforme. Collected in his home, these flowers seemed to Des Esseintes more monstrous than when he had beheld them, confused with others among the glass rooms of the conservatory. "Sapristi!" he exclaimed enthusiastically.
Another silence, then something that sounded like "Sapristi!" a groan from the gardienne, and a step was heard on the stairway. My own discomfort increased, and I would have given much to be in any other place in the world. Auguste had arrived at the head of the steps but was apparently unable to get any farther. "Bon soir, mon pere," he said. "Like a dutiful son," said Monsieur de St.
He advanced to the edge of the quay, and in desperate French, of which his adversaries understood not a word, threatened to have them dragged from their perches and sent to New Caledonia. A well-aimed lime squashed on his cheek, and with a "Sapristi!" he fled behind a stack of boxes. The riot became general, the roustabouts heaving iron bars, pieces of wood, and anything they could find.
'Monsieur, he said, 'doubtless means to console, but his hand is heavy. To continue: we loved, and were happy in each other's love. The birds in their little nest could not be happier than Alphonse and his Annette. Then came the blow sapristi! when I think of it. Messieurs will forgive me if I wipe away a tear. Mine was an evil number; I was drawn for the conscription.
If I were you, I would not touch a glass, nor eat a fig; you will not, if you have the spirit of a rabbit. You! Fed like dogs with the leavings of her table pardieu! That is not for soldiers of France!" "What dost thou say?" growled Miou-Matou, peering up under his gray, shaggy brows. "Only that a grande dame has sent you champagne. That is all. Sapristi!
