"On a parlé de moi dans tous les cercles, même après que la bonté de la reine m'eut valu le régiment du roi dragons." Mémoires de ma Main, Mémoires de La Fayette, i., p 86. "La lettre où Votre Majesté, parlant du Roi de Prusse, s'exprime ainsi .... 'cela ferait un changement dans notre alliance, ce qui me donnerait la mort, j'ai vu la reine pâlir en me lisant cet article."
Upon my soul, everything degenerates; and I don't know whether it is the game which leaves no scent, or the dogs that have no noses. We started a stag of ten branches. We chased him for six hours, and when he was near being taken when St.-Simon was already putting his horn to his mouth to sound the mort crack, all the pack takes the wrong scent and sets off after a two-year-older.
"I'm not expecting Mr. Bassett to-day, if you wish to see him," said Dan. "Nope," Thatcher replied indifferently, "I'm not looking for Mort. He's in Fraserville, I happen to know. Just talking to him on the telephone, so I rather guessed you were alone, that's why I came up. I want to talk to you a little bit, Harwood. It must be nearly closing time, so suppose you lock the door.

"My wife," Sir Ivor said, coming up to us with a serious face, "has delivered her ultimatum. Positively her ultimatum. I've had a mort o' trouble with her, and now she's settled.
"I think you would," said Gerard sweetly; "and sore need have I of a kindly voice in mine ear this day." "Oh, no soul is sad alongside me. I lift up their poor little hearts with my consigne; 'Courage, tout le monde, le diable est mort. Ha! Ha!" "So be it, then," said Gerard. "We will go together as far as Rhine, and God go with us both!" "Amen!" said Denys, and lifted up his cap.
But the difficulty was to give it the colouring which should produce that effect on a mind so distorted. Mort de ma vie! said the count, I shall never pardon myself for having lost so fine an opportunity! I am not so heavy as he. I should not have been hurt by the fall. I should have saved the life of my rival, and been admired by the whole world! My triumph would have been complete!
After two days' bombardment the Germans gained some trenches north of Hill 304, and on the 7th they attacked it on three sides and compelled the French to abandon the crest. This reduced Mort Homme to a difficult salient, and after a few days' lull the Germans gained the summit on 21 May by an expenditure of man-power out of all proportion to the value of the result.
Alwyn Schroeder; a divertimento for violin and orchestra, and a symphonic poem, "La Mort de Tintagiles." Besides these large works he has written a number of songs, of which five are with viola obligato.
Two thousand miles afoot; three months of Hades; for nothing. That's biting some." "Well!" The speaker's face was convulsed, and Grant's flamed with an answering anger. They glared at each other for a moment. "Don't blame me. You fell for it, too." "I " Mort checked his rushing words. "Yes, you! Now, what are you going to do about it? Welsh?" "I'm going through to Nome."
In the dusk or the darkness there was silence along the banks but for a ceaseless throbbing of distant gun-fire, rising sometimes to a fury of drumming when the French soixante-quinze was at work, outside Roye and the lines beyond Suzanne. It was what the French call la rafale des tambours de la mort the ruffle of the drums of death.
