"Calls of that sort do bore men so. I'll not forget the first time you called on me." "Nor I," he came back gallantly. "I marveled how you came through alive, but I learned then that a man can't be bored to death." "I came again nevertheless," he smiled. "And again and again." "I am still wondering why." "'Oh, wad some power the giffie gite us To see ourselves as others see us!"
It should be something appropriate." Visions of "Let dogs delight" passed through the under-graduate's mind; but it occurred to him that the poetry was English and that he did not know the air. Hence he contributed no suggestion. "Something about our houselessness," said Elvira. "I have it," cried Léon. And he broke forth into a song of Pierre Dupont's: "Savez-vous où gite Mai, ce joli mois?"
Her first one was a comic monologue which always had the wildest success in London, "Je suis veuve," beginning it with a ringing peal of laughter which was curiously contagious everyone in the room joined in. I like her better in some of her serious things. When she said "le bon gite" and "le petit clairon," by Paul Déroulède, in her beautiful deep voice, I had a decided choke in my throat.
Between me and the wished for gîte there lay sixteen miles of hilly road darkling every minute faster. I do not care to remember that dreary ride or rather, walk for two hours, at least, of the distance were done on foot.
Most of it was anonymous. I have kept it all, however, and I quote the following poem, which is rather nice: Passant, te voila sans abri: La flamme a ravage ton gite. Hier plus leger qu'un colibri; Ton esprit aujourd'hui s'agite, S'exhalant en gemissements Sur tout ce que le feu devore. Tu pleures tes beaux diamants?... Non, tes grands yeux les ont encore!
As the cave was dry, and filled with clean straw and withered fern, 'it made, as he said, coiling himself up with an air of snugness and comfort which contrasted strangely with his situation, 'unless when the wind was due north, a very passable gite for an old soldier. Neither, as he observed, was he without sentries for the purpose of reconnoitring.

After those rank the Red Cross nurses, particularly those that wear the blue veil over the white. And I never saw in real life such superb, such imperturbable brides. Another work in which Madame Goujon is interested and which certainly is as picturesque is Le Bon Gite. The gardens of the Tuilleries when regarded from the quay present an odd appearance these days.

Cet animal a la peau noire pour le plupart, et porte un cerele blanchatre autour de son cou. On le trouve tous les jours aux dits salons, on il demeure, digere, s'il y a do quoi dans son interieur, respire, tousse, eternue, dort, et renfle quelquefois, ayant toujours le semblant de lire. On ne sait pas s'il a une autre gite que cela.
