One is deemed a pedant a terrible charge at Paris! or a bas bleu, which is still worse, however free the individual may be from any pretensions to merit such charges. Paid a visit to the justly celebrated Mademoiselle Mars yesterday, at her beautiful hôtel in the Rue de la Tour des Dames.
Godfrey Radmore, in his well-cut dress clothes and the small, but perfect, pearl studs in the shirt of which she had heard Jack openly envy the make and cut, seemed an incongruous figure in the Old Place scullery. He blundered on. "Timmy said that you look as if you had been at a fancy dress ball as a cook. He ought to have said 'cordon bleu, for I've never eaten a better dinner!"
Apart from Laurier there was in it no representative of French Catholic Liberalism, unless the purely nominal honor of minister without portfolio given to C. A. Geoffrion is to be taken as giving this representation. C. A. did not put the honor very high. "I am," he said, "the mat before the door." Tarte, a Quebecker and a Bleu, became Montreal's representative at Ottawa.
Still he was fairly handsome enough not to have muttered so heavy an oath as he did at the vivandiere's jest. "Sacre bleu! I wish my corporal were shot! One can never hear the last of him." Cigarette darted a quick glance at him. "Oh, ho; jealous, mon brave!" thought her quick wits. "And why, I wonder?"
The long white hair that hung down his face, the cordon bleu, the lame foot, and the unearthly aspect made me suspect the truth, it was M. de Talleyrand as grand chamberlin, to officiate at the dinner of his master"; whereby proving his own words: "It is not enough to be some one, it is needful to do something."

"It demonstrates the unpractically of his methods!" said the burly Montreal politician to Zotique, with self-satisfied disgust. "No," returned Zotique, firmly, "If we had followed his methods it would have been far better. But nothing can make up for lack of intelligence: Sacré bleu.
As Catholics you cannot vote for him; you cannot vote for a Liberal, nor for a moderate Liberal, for moderate is only another term for liar. 'The Church has condemned Liberalism, and to vote against the direction of the bishops would be sin, declared another. 'The sky of heaven is bleu, the fire of hell is rouge, another more pointedly urged.
He had a studio, with a few living-rooms attached, somewhere up in the fastnesses of Montparnasse, though it was seldom thither that one went to seek him. He received at his café, the Café Bleu the Café Bleu which has since blown into the monster café of the Quarter, the noisiest, the rowdiest, the most flamboyant. The bottom of the shop, at any rate, was reserved exclusively to his use.
