The mother, forgetting that she was in the open street, embraced her Oscar, and said, smiling, as she took a little roll from her basket: "Tiens! you were forgetting your roll and the chocolate! My child, once more, I repeat, don't take anything at the inns; they'd make you pay for the slightest thing ten times what it is worth."
The German Professor, as usual. Ah, Mr. Koken, Mr. Koken those light words of yours have borne a heavy fruit. I possess four hundred implements now, and they will double the weight of my luggage and ruin my starched shirts, especially those formidable "praechellean" skull-cleavers. And I know exactly what the customs officer at Marseilles will say, when he peeps into my bag: "Tiens, des cailloux!
Friendship, true friendship, for a man whose tastes are yours, whose pursuits you understand, is the soundest basis upon which to build a marriage." "No. Only as a friend, a friend not too near, do I feel affection for Franz. It is repulsive to me the thought of anything else. It makes me hate him," said Karen. "Tiens!" Madame von Marwitz opened her eyes in genuine surprise.
It was answered by a demure-looking waiter, with a face like a parroquet. "Does Monsieur please to require anything?" "Require anything!" I exclaimed, in the best French I could muster. "I have been robbed!" "Robbed, Monsieur?" "Yes, of my watch and purse!" "Tiens! Of a watch and purse?" repeated the parroquet, lifting his eyebrows with an air of well-bred surprise. "C'est drôle." "Droll!"
At this moment a new arrival glided into the room quietly, with the manifest intention of disturbing no one; but Crozat, who was seated near the door, stopped him and shook hands. "'Tiens', Saniel! Good-day, doctor." "Good-evening, my dear sir." "Come to the table; the beer is good to-day." "Thank you; I am very well here."
"Gee, that's the Paris train! Tiens!" He pressed the franc into the man's dirt-crusted hand. "Come along, Andrews." As they left the buvette they heard again the crunching crackling noise as the man bit another piece off the bottle. Andrews followed Henslowe across the steam-filled platform to the door of a first-class carriage. They climbed in.
Here are the facts: The body of a young girl was found early in the morning, stranded on the river-bank in the slime and reeds of the Seine. Men employed in dredging sand saw it as they were getting into their frail boat on their way to their work. "Tiens! fifty francs earned!" said one of them. "True," said the other. They approached the body. "A handsome girl!
You win your battles, they say, upon beer and cordials: it is why you never can follow up a success. Je tiens cela du Marechal Prince B . Let that pass. One groans at your intolerable tristesse. La vie en Angleterre est comme un marais. It is a scandal to human nature. It blows fogs, foul vapours, joint- stiffnesses, agues, pestilences, over us here, yes, here!
Madelon, driven into her last intrenchments by the sophistries of the wily aristocrat, objected timidly, "Mais, Monseigneur, j'aime mon mari." For a moment the Marquis was surprised, and seemed to reflect. Then he said, "Tiens tu aimes ton mari? C'est bizarre: mais après tout ce n'est pas defendu." As he spoke, he smiled upon his simple vassal evidently wavering between amusement and compassion.
"You should have seen her looks when your friend M. Jones praised Miss Newcome! She ground her teeth with fury. Tiens ce petit sournois de Kiou! He always spoke of her as a mere sac d'argent that he was about to marry an ingot of the cite une fille de Lord Maire. Have all English bankers such pearls of daughters?
