Belloc's humour is observation, a slow delicate savouring of human stupidity and pretence. The sporadic stories in his books are funny because, at least, we can believe them to be true. Read this from Esto Perpetua: An old man, small, bent, and full of energy opened the door to me.... "I was expecting you," he said. I remembered that the driver had promised to warn him, and I was grateful.
Governor THOMAS O. MOORE, Baton, Rouge, Louisiana. Sir: As I occupy a quasi-military position under the laws of the State, I deem it proper to acquaint you that I accepted such position when Louisiana was a State in the Union, and when the motto of this seminary was inserted in marble over the main door: "By the liberality of the General Government of the United States. The Union esto perpetua."
La causa del sufragio femenino es una causa que despierta la simpatía de todo hombre desapasionado, porque representa la causa del débil que, privado del medio de defenderse por sí mismo, pone toda su razón y derecho al arbitrio del fuerte. Pero no es solamente por esto que atrae mi simpatía y apela a mi defensa.
"Esto perpetua!" he added! "And sine qua non also!" sed I, sternly, wishing to make a impression onto the villagers. "Requiescat in pace!" sed the skoolmaster, "Too troo, too troo!" I anserd, "it's a scanderlus fact!" The newspapers got along at last, chock full of war, and the patriotic fever fairly bust out in Baldinsville.
DON EDUARDO. Allí ... debajo de la cama ... y tú abre luego, y dile que he salido muy temprano, y que no volveré hasta la noche. DOÑA MATILDE. Eduardo.... DON EDUARDO. Abre ya ... antes que nos rompa la puerta. DOÑA MATILDE. Pero, Eduardo, no entiendo.... DON EDUARDO. Abre, abre. DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Dios mío! ¿Qué querrá decir esto? CASERO. ¡Vaya, y qué dormida estaba usted!
Ah, well, more fool I more fool I. `Contentus esto, Paule mi, lasciva, Paule, pagina," he muttered to himself, and drummed nervously with his fingers on the table. Westray was apprehensive of these fits of excitement, and led the conversation back to the old theme.
Cõ todo esto tuuierõ ciertas passiones, y robarõ vn lugarejo: y en vna casa pobre hallaron vn niño Iesus, destos que traen de Flandes, con su velo, y pomo enla mano, tan fresco como si se acabara de hazer entonces.
"Esto bonus miles, tutor bonus, arbiter idem Integer: ambiguae si quando citabere testis, Incertaeque rei, Phalaris licet imperet ut sis, Falsus, et admoto dictet perjuria tauro, Summum crede nefas animam praeferre pudori, Et propter vitam vivendi perdere causas ."
Arnold deserves our gratitude he deserves it not least for the way in which he has singled out two sentences, one from St. Augustine and the other from the Imitation, 'Domine fecisti nos ad te et irrequietum est cor nostrum donec requiescat in te, and, 'Esto humilis et pacificus et erit tecum, Jesus. The men who could write thus are not to be despised.
This noble benefit gratitude forbids me to conceal their names I owe to the kindness of the most munificent firm in the world the house of Boldero, Merryweather, Bosanquet, and Lacy. Esto perpetua! For the first day or two I felt stunned, overwhelmed. I could only apprehend my felicity; I was too confused to taste it sincerely. I wandered about, thinking I was happy, and knowing that I was not.
