"Taisez-vous, taisez-vous, Jair-trude," rebuked Mademoiselle. "How dare she?" thought Miriam, with a picture before her eyes of the little grey-gowned thing with the wistful, frugal mouth and nose. "Na Miss Henderson?" It was Fraulein's voice from within the little room. Minna was holding the door open.
By such a pitiful chink as that did his Infallible Highness wriggle himself out of the range of my guns, and pursue his line of remark. "But I really cannot say that I have been able to detect the excessive superiority of Solomon's proverbs. If it were not for the name of it, I think Sancho Panza's much better." "Taisez-vous. Hold your tongue," I said, without mitigation.
A little house near the Parc Monceau, my studio there, Clifford, Elliott, Rowden Bra all of them coming again! And it will be my wife who will receive them!" She placed a little soft palm across his lips. "Taisez-vous, mon ami! It is too soon! See the morning! I must go. There! yes one more! my love, Adieu!" Sixteen
"I perceive a strange atmosphere here, fie! Some one has mixed their atmosphere with yours, fie!" And she sprinkled him with scent. He turned as red as fire and, in his shame and misery, did not know which way to look. But if he attempted to speak she became as stiff as a poker, and, raising her small hand, "Taisez-vous des egards, sil vous plait."
Why didn't they move? There was the National Guard keeping on presenting arms, the little drummers going on rub-dub-dub rub-dub-dub in the same steady, slow way, and the Procession never moved an inch. There was evidently, to use an elegant phrase, a hitch somewhere. Fat priest "Taisez-vous." Little drummer Rub-dub-dub rub-dub-dub rub-dub-dub, &c. Drum-major "Qu'est-ce donc?"
Some one had been before them. Have you any theories, Miss Van Teyl?" "I can tell you who has," she replied. "Do you remember when we were all grouped around that notice Mefiez-vous! Taisez-vous! Les oreilles ennemies vous ecoutent!?" "Of course I do," he assented. "Do you remember Baron Sunyea making a remark afterwards? He had been standing by and heard everything Graham said."
There was a sort of cordon stretched before them, which they wearied her with prayers to be permitted to pass, and just to revive themselves by one dance with that "belle blonde," or that "jolie brune," or "cette jeune fille magnifique aux cheveux noirs comme le jais." "Taisez-vous!" Madame would reply, heroically and inexorably.
Before the late minister of war gave up his portfolio, by placards he warned all when in public places to be careful of what they said. "Taisez-vous! Méfiez-vous. Les oreilles ennemies vous écoutent." "Be silent. Be distrustful. The ears of the enemies are listening." This warning against spies was placed in tramways, railroad-trains, cafés. A cartoonist refused to take the good advice seriously.
I feel like apologizing for my civilization." She pressed my hand. "Taisez-vous!" she replied, smiling. "Aita peapea. I am always happy. Remember I still live in Tahiti, and this is my time. My foremothers' day is past. Allons! We will be soon at the vaimato, and there we will have the déjeuner."
In the early days of the war it used to be amusing in the train, as everyone talked, and the talk was good. Those days are passed. With the now famous order pasted on every window: Taisez-vous! Méfiez-vous. Les oreilles ennemies vous écoutent no one says a word. I came back from Paris with half a dozen officers in the compartment.
