Did not you think it was a thief, when you were left in the dark?" "It is very odd that nobody about me can find me a lamp that will serve me. And then, what is all this bustle in the town? Tell me at once what is the matter." "I know of nothing the matter. The trompettes have been by this morning; and they say that the Commander-in-chief is here: so there will be nothing the matter.

Go now to your mother; and, before this hour to-morrow, I shall think of you resting at Pongaudin." They saw him mount before the courtyard, and set off, followed by one of his two trompettes the only horsemen in the island who could keep up with him, and therefore his constant attendants in his most important journeys. The other was gone forward, to order horses from post to post.
To some one who was eulogizing a mediocre man, adding that all the world was of the same opinion, she replied, "I make small account of the world, Monsieur, since I perceive that one can divide it into three parts, les trompeurs, les trompes, et les trompettes."

They departed with great zeal, while Toussaint ascended to the mountain-pool, to take the plunge in which he found his best refreshment after a long ride.

And wielding the heavy drumstick with a powerful arm, he brought it crashing down against the side of the mighty instrument. "Hurrah! Hurrah! en avant les trompettes!" A fanfare of brass instruments followed, lustily blown by twelve young men in motley coats of green, and tall, peaked hats adorned with feathers. The drummer had begun to march, closely followed by the trumpeters.
