Mons. Jourdain. Etes-vous fou de l'aller quereller' lui qui entend la tierce et la quarte, et qui sait tuer un homme par raison demonstrative? Le Maitre a Danser. Je me moque de sa raison demonstrative, et de sa tierce et de sa quarte. Moliere.
When I had got to the end of the third act the Count de B- entered, with my passport in his hand. Monsieur le Duc de C-, said the Count, is as good a prophet, I dare say, as he is a statesman. Un homme qui rit, said the Duke, ne sera jamais dangereux. Had it been for any one but the king's jester, added the Count, I could not have got it these two hours.
"What can be the motive," she asked, "of a man like you an honest man, a galant homme in saying so base a thing as that?" "Does it sound very base?" asked Acton, candidly. "I suppose it does, and I thank you for telling me so. Of course, I don't mean it literally." The Baroness stood looking at him. "How do you mean it?" she asked.
I should likewise be glad of some cuttings of the best figs, especially la Pica gentile and the Maltese; but as this is not the season for them, Mr. Mann will, I dare say, undertake that commission, and send them to me at the proper time by Leghorn. Adieu. Endeavor to please others, and divert yourself as much as ever you can, in 'honnete et galant homme'.
"Ah! non," said she, "you are too good, too flattering; but you must tell me your judgment without flattery! Vous etes homme de gout, though an Englishman you see I have got no prejuges."

Owing to the swiftness of the advance and the disorganization of the German batteries the French losses were comparatively slight.
Do you then pretend to support yourself by that in this Department?" The Arethusa modestly disclaimed the pretension. The Commissary had scored a point. The Commissary: "Why, then, do you travel?" The Arethusa: "I travel for pleasure." Voyez-vous, je suis un homme intelligent!" And here the Arethusa, not yet sufficiently awake to his position, fell into a grave mistake.
Tell"...he sank back, but raised himself, and continued: "Tell my Babette I weep with her.... Ah, mon grand homme de Calvaire bon soir!" He sank back again, but I roused him with one question more, vital to me. I must have the countersign. "Labrouk! Labrouk!" said I sharply. He opened his dull, glazed eyes. "Qui va la?" said I, and I waited anxiously.
For two months the French line had remained fixed on Hill 304 and on Mort Homme. Only the covering line, which extended from the wood of Avocourt to the Meuse along the slopes of Haucourt, the bed of Forges Brook, and the crests north of Cumières, had been broken by the terrific attacks of the enemy.
