The soeurs converses in the laundry were put on bread and water with prayers for a week, only for repeating some gossip they had heard concerning him." "Ay! that is because the venerable Mere Superior is touchy on the point of family, but I am not her nephew, voila la differance!" as the song says.

J'ai donne a mes soeurs les pommes que vous leur envoyiez avec tant de bonte; elles disent qu'elles sont sur que Mademoiselle E. est tres-aimable et bonne; l'une et l'autre sont extremement impatientes de vous voir; j'espere qu'en peu de mois elles auront ce plaisir." But it was some time yet before the friends could meet, and meanwhile they agreed to correspond once a month.

I consented, and when they left I wrote a note: "Si, se soir, quelcun tâche de forcer l'entrée de votre chambre, je vous implore de rester calme et sûre que je suis avec Vous et Vos soeurs

Dieu ne fit la sagesse Pour les cerveaux qui hantent les neuf Soeurs." In these days of omnivorous readers, the position of authors has decidedly improved. It has been the fashion of authors of all ages to complain bitterly of their own times. Bayle calls it an epidemical disease in the republic of letters, and poets seem especially liable to this complaint.

I alighted at the Hotel Quatre Soeurs, and at once sent a note to M. Laussot, informing him that I held myself at his disposal and would remain in all day to receive him.

The lively man who in shirt sleeves dances with the jolly, plump salesgirl, the sunlight dripping through the vivid green of the tree leaves, lending dazzling edges to profiles, tips of noses, or fingers, is not the sullen ouvrier of Zola or Toulouse-Lautrec nor are the girls kin to Huysmans's Soeurs Vatard or the "human document" of Degas.

Brett smiled. "It would be an ignoble conclusion to the chase if the Belles Soeurs were wrecked with her valuable cargo. I most devoutly pray," he said to himself, "that the breezes and currents may combine to bring Dubois safely on shore. Then I think we can deal with him."

So far, therefore, the information contained in Les Soeurs Maçonnes conflicts with the history of the New and Reformed Palladium as given in my second chapter. It has been said, however, that Leo Taxil charges another Masonic order of the androgyne type with satanic practices.

Tell them of all the tender mercies of the Soeurs de Charité! Tell them that, from the throne to the hospital, the spinster, unharassed by the cares of private life, has been found most fruitful in public virtue.
