Or perhaps it is a radiant morning in June, and they are in the dining- room; the balcony door is open wide, and a large hornet buzzes loudly in the vine. Louise is still at the piano; she is singing this time, and trying to reach the low tones of a dramatic romance where a Corsican child is urged on to vengeance by his father: Tiens, prends ma carabiue! Sur toi veillera Dieu
"Tiens tiens! I did him wrong," murmured Cigarette. "That is what they are the children of France even when they are at their worst, like that devil, Zackrist. Who dare say they are not the heroes of the world?"
'Je les tiens dans les doits, je les tiens dans la bouche.... Toute ta chevelure, toute ta chevelure, Melisande, est tombee de la tour.... D'you remember?" "How wonderful you are." They sat side by side on the stone bench without touching each other. "It's silly," burst out Andrews excitedly. "We should have faith in our own selves.
"Tiens, mon ami, why should we not have an ancestor or two, as well as other folks," suggested the lady, in a very audible whisper. Monsieur shook his head, and muttered something about the expense. "There is no harm, at all events," urged madame, "in asking the price." "My charge for gallery portraits, madame, varies from sixty to a hundred francs," said Müller. "Heavens! how dear!

On seeing her Colette whispered "Oh! that tiresome Giselle. We sha'n't be able to talk another word." Jacqueline kissed Giselle de Monredon. They were distant cousins, though they saw each other very seldom.
Do you wait at table and hand little dishes to coster-mongers, ancien regime, en emigre?" She laughed deliciously. Suddenly she paused, regarded him wide-eyed, with a smile on her lips. "Tiens! I have an idea. But a wonderful ideal Why should I not be the fried-fish queen? Issue new shares. I buy them all up. We establish fish palaces all over the world? But why not? I am in trade already.
"How do you know all about it?" asked the saddler. "I've known it for years," said the Notary grandly stoutly too, for he would freely risk his wife's anger that the vain-glory of the moment might be enlarged. "And you keep it even from madame!" said the saddler, with a smile too broad to be sarcastic. "Tiens! if I did that, my wife'd pick my eyes out with a bradawl."
