Once upon a time, so the story goes, a French publisher, planning an elaborate volume on the streets of Paris, went to Honoré de Balzac, then at the height of his fame, to ask him to contribute the chapter on a particular thoroughfare let us say, the Rue Une Telle, or the Avenue Quelque-Chose.
All this to be done with decency, of course. And if there be no scandal, where is the harm? Can it signify to the universe whether Mons. Un tel likes Madame Une telle or Madame Une autre? Provided there is love enough, all the world is in good humour, and that is the essential point; for without good humour, what becomes of the pleasures of society?
But here I am in a heavy sea and thick fog Oh, God! the wind subsided but I trust to Providence I shall have them. 18th in the evening, I have got her Le Généreux thank God! 12 out of 13, onely the Guillaume Telle remaining; I am after the others." The enemy's division had consisted of this seventy-four, a large transport, also captured, and three corvettes which escaped.
The maintenance until thirty-eight years ago of the Established Church, which raised its mitred head in a country where its adherents formed one-eighth of the population, but where its funds were extorted from those who regarded its doctrines as heresy, was, I verily believe, the fons et origo of the sectarian bitterness which still persists among Catholics, "Lui demander," wrote a French observer of the position of the Catholic Church in the days before 1870, "de s'associer a une telle entreprise lui parait une injure; lui forcer est une violence; la continuance de cette violence est une persecution."
After some of Mr. Friswell's deliverances, I am not disposed to rank his judgment very high; and I accept Lander's decision. As to the finish of the face, Mr. Fairholt's criticism is an exaggeration, successfully exposed by Mr. Friswell. My own opinion, telle quelle, has been already printed.
Of course the duke could write poetry if he pleased, something, I dare say, in the way of the great Conde; that is, something warlike and heroic, I'll be bound. Let's hear!" "Telle est du Ciel la loi severe Qu'il faut qu'un enfant ait un pere; On dit meme quelquefois Tel enfant en a jusqu'a trois." "Conde write such stuff! I don't believe it."
During the trial he had come upon the fact that the arsenical preparation known as Fowler's solution had been administered for the first time in the hospital of Saint-Louis, in Paris. He showed an issue of the Hospital Gazette in which the advertisement could be read: ``Solution de Fowler telle qu'on l'administre a SAINT-LOUIS! The jury could make what they liked of that fact.
Max Müller begs me to learn these languages first; but this would be a toil and drudgery, whereas to me the pursuit of literary excellence and fame is a mere amusement, like lawn-tennis or rinking. It is the fault of the age to make a labour of what is meant to be a pastime. Telle est de nos plaisirs la surface légère; Glissez, mortels, n'appuyez pas.
I have not been at L since my return from abroad, and during those years the place has gone rapidly to decay; perhaps, for that reason, it suits me better, tel maitre telle maison. Of all my possessions this is the least valuable in itself, and derives the least interest from the associations of childhood, for it was not at L that any part of that period was spent.
'Telle est la vie, answered Ulick, smiling sadly as he passed his hand over his brow. 'It's too bad of him, broke out Mrs. Kendal. 'I thought you were prepared, said Sophy, severely, disappointed to see him so much discomposed. 'How should I be prepared, said he, petulantly, 'for the whole concern, house, and bank, and all the rest of it? 'Left to you? was the cry.
