20296you are an agent of Pitt and Cobourg( the then common phrase of reproach) you shall be sent to the guillotine-- Why are you not at the frontiers?"
20296your flashes of merriment that were wo nt to set the table on a roar?
20296your gambols?
20296your songs?
27488But what can I do?
27488Do you mean to banish him?
27488How could you think,was the proud comment of Dumouriez,"that they have forgotten the Argonne?"
27488To kill him?
27488What?
27488what is it you want?
27488And he said it in a way that signified"Then why did you not defend him?"
27488But what could they effect at Versailles against the master of so many legions?
27488Do n''t you see he has got white stockings on?"
27488He said to her,"What are your Majesty''s intentions?"
27488He said,"Why did you desert the Committee?
27488If the victims of Carrier were innocent, what was Carrier himself?
27488If, he said, the able- bodied men become soldiers and are sent to guard the frontier, who is to protect us from traitors at home?
27488Is not this superior authority binding upon the courts of justice?
27488It is Danton you would avenge?"
27488The queen was opposed to them, for she said:"What can the king do, away from Paris, without insight, or spirit, or ascendancy?
27488What can you find that is not to be found in solid substance in this''Vindication of the House of Representatives''?"
27488When he remonstrated with his brother for getting drunk, the other replied,"Why grudge me the only vice you have not appropriated?"
27488When the passage was read declaring that there could be no peace with an invader, a voice cried,"Have you made a contract with victory?"
27488When the question"Guilty or not guilty?"
27488Where then do we now stand, and what is the elevation that enables us to look down on men who, the other day, were high authorities?
27488Who are a free people?
27488Why did you make your views known in public without informing us?"
27488he replied;"I am to kill Robespierre and Billaud?"
1346And by what occasion?
1346But had not the party of Order on May 31, 1850, had it not on June 13, 1849, subordinated the Constitution to the parliamentary majority?
1346Changarnier communicated this announcement of its death to the leaders of the party of Order; but who was there to believe a bed- bug bite could kill?
1346From what quarter did it then, look to for the solution of all the existing perplexities?
1346Had not the constitution been repeatedly violated, according to the assurances of the democrats themselves?
1346Had not the most popular papers branded them as a counter- revolutionary artifice?
1346Had they not left to the democrats the Old Testament superstitious belief in the letter of the law, and had they not chastised the democrats therefor?
1346Had they not themselves constantly made an unconstitutional use of their parliamentary prerogative, notably by the abolition of universal suffrage?
1346If, from above, they hear the fiddle screeching, what else is to be expected than that those below should dance?
1346On account of his conspiracy at the military reviews and of the"Society of December 10"?
1346On account of his restoration hankerings?
1346Should not the military, finally, in and for its own interest, play the game of"state of siege,"and simultaneously besiege the bourgeois exchanges?
1346Should the party of Order place Bonaparte himself under charges?
1346The parliamentary regime lives on discussion,--how can it forbid discussion?
1346Was Proudhon wholly wrong when he cried out to these gentlemen:"Vous n''etes que des blaqueurs"?
1346What is this unfavorable result to be ascribed to?
1346Who has jurisdiction over the appointment and dismissal of a Police Commissioner?
1346Why did not the Parisian proletariat rise after the 2d of December?
169942: Typo: that[ than?]
169942: monnments[ monuments?]
169943: Typo: hundry[ hungry?]
16994After a little pause, and a significant sneer,--Pray Sir,( said he) and do you not change your napkins also?
16994After dinner the Baron did me the honour to consult with me_ how_ he should get down to_ Lyons_?
16994Do you know that Claret is greatly improved by a mixture of Hermitage, and that the best Claret we have in England is generally so_ adulterated_?
16994For what should I cross the streight which divides us, though it were but_ half_ seven leagues?
16994His_ acute visitor_ instantly set up a_ horse_ laugh, and asked him whether the little cats could not come out at the same hole the big one did?
16994I asked the maid what she was about, and what it was she was so preparing?
16994If you travel post, when you approach the town, or bourg where you intend to lie, ask the post- boy, which house he recommends as the best?
16994May he not equally suppose that I said_ the sun is in our eye_?
16994No: she did not: But did you ever see me before, or any body like me?
16994Shall I attempt to unfold this writer''s meaning?
16994This seems to have been the author''s thought, if he thought_ chastely_.--Shall I try again?
16994Though I have lost_ his guinea_, I will not lose his name; he looked down with pity upon me when here; who can say he may not do so still?
16994Vous croyez peut- être trouver un premier étage au dessus de la façade do nt je vous ai parlé?
16994When he honoured me with a visit, at my country lodgings, he came on foot, and as the waters were out, I asked him how he_ got at me_, so dry footed?
16994Why then is the_ plume elevated to the head_?
16994and what must the present mode of female education and manners end in, but in more ignorance, dissipation, debauchery and luxury?
16994did I say?
16994how seldom do we hear a Frenchman speak English without betraying his country by his pronunciation?
21256And is it thus,said I,"that you receive all strangers indiscriminately?"
21256Are they never wearied?
21256In what manner,said I,"do the French poor live?"
21256Is it possible,said I,"that there can be any gentleness in that creature?"
21256Where does Mademoiselle sleep?
21256Where is the masque?
21256Who are these ladies?
21256Who is it,demanded I,"that plays so well?"
21256A suggestion immediately arises in his mind-- how much might this land be made to produce under a more intelligent cultivation?
21256But who would feel any disposition to pilfer the wig of Sir Cloudesley Shovel, or the hat of General Monk, in Westminster Abbey?
21256Can your peasantry say the same?
21256For example, what could be so absurd as the natural realization of some of these capricious ornaments?
21256How is it, that the French, so generally gallant, can suffer their women to take the fork and hoe, and work so laboriously in the fields?
21256I demanded of this veteran, pointing to the flotilla, when the Emperor intended to invade England?
21256Indeed, why should we?
21256Is not the religion of our ancestors legible in the very ornaments of their house?
21256Is there any one oppressed with grief for the loss of friends, or what is still more poignantly felt, for their ingratitude and unkindness?
21256Now, why may not the same use be made of architecture?
21256Or is it with ladies as with the poet in Don Quixotte-- are love and flattery sweet, though they may come from a fool and a madman?
21256What artificial beauty can equal that of a corn- field?
21256What lady would chose to sleep in a bed, up the pillars of which serpents were crawling?
21256What would not English taste have effected with the capabilities of Rambouillet?
21256When he reached General Armstrong, he asked him, whether America could not live, without foreign commerce as well as France?
21256Whence does this happen, in a country where provisions are so much cheaper?
21256Where is it that I have read, that a Frenchman has no idea of gardening?
21256Who will now say that the French are not characteristically a good- humoured people, and that a lovely French girl is not an angel?
21256Why is a nation converted into a puppet- show?
21256Why might not Marmontel have lived in such a cottage?
21256Why, therefore, is not this disgraceful practice thrown aside?
2311Have you fed the Hogs, Sir Knight?
2311How( cried he) cut my hair? 2311 You do not like the apartments?
2311But how were those victories obtained?
2311He asked in his turn if I was mad?
2311He asked whence we had come; and understanding we had been in Italy, desired to know whether the man liked France or Italy best?
2311How many high- sounding works on the other hand, are already worse than dead, or, should we say, better dead?
2311How then must they support the glory of France?
2311Leave off; the Bath Bell rings-- what, still play on?
2311The celebrated reformer of the Italian comedy introduces a child befouling itself, on the stage, OE, NO TI SENTI?
2311The one costs three half- pence; the last, half a farthing-- which of them is most effectual?
2311Then, addressing himself to me, asked, if the English did not every day drink to the health of madame la marquise?
2311They accosted my servant, and asked if his master was a lord?
2311What are the consequences of this cruel swaddling?
2311What glory is there in a man''s vanquishing an adversary over whom he has a manifest advantage?
2311What is the consequence?
2311What then, you will say, must a man sit with his chops and fingers up to the ears and knuckles in grease?
2311Why not a lynch pin, which we were so carefully instructed how to inquire about in Murray''s Conversation for Travellers?
2311Why, therefore, do n''t we follow it implicitly?
2311You ask me why I submitted to such imposition?
2311or that the ships of the line taken from the enemy would be carried in procession from Hyde- Park- Corner to Tower- wharf?
2311what do I see?
26450Are you then recalled to Poland?
26450Art thou the admiral?
26450Do you pardon your enemies?
26450Good people of Paris,said the Constable on his arrival at their camp,"what meaneth this?
26450Good people,protested Marcel,"why would you do me ill?
26450Is it your will?
26450My cure? 26450 What do they take from me?"
26450What do you ask?
26450Who are you?
26450And of the strong city built on the little island in the Seine who could have been its founder but the ravisher of fair Helen-- Sir Paris himself?
26450As the duke hastened to spoil his victims, crying out--"Where is the archbishop?"
26450As we crossed the courtyard of the palace( in the Cité) he said:''Seest thou not what I perceive above this roof?''
26450At length he turned and said:"Know ye my faithful servants, wherefore I weep thus bitterly?
26450Do they turn to the right?
26450Does power descend from God, its primeval source; or does it ascend, delegated from the people?
26450He asked again,''Seest thou naught else?''
26450My life?
26450See you yon lights?
26450Soldiers of Italy, will you lack courage?"
26450Turning to the angels, Jesus said:"Know ye who hath thus arrayed Me?
26450We pass to Room IV., dominated by the most eminent sculptor of the French renaissance, Jean Goujon(?
26450When he entered Abbeville with the magnificent Duke of Burgundy, the people said"_ Benedicite!_ is that a king of France?
26450Where is the ancient prowess of France?
26450by the works of Michel Colombe(?
26450cried the latter,"what dost thou here at this hour?"
26450must I suffer new trouble every day?"
26450shall I never be in peace?
13048Ah? 13048 American?"
13048Do I not look well dressed, Mademoiselle?
13048Eh, what?
13048Have n''t you heard the news?
13048How do you expect me to earn my living if I have to go out of my way and wait a century outside a store?
13048Is it possible? 13048 Is it really so?
13048Where to?
13048You will come again soon, Mademoiselle, and see it for yourself?
13048_ Dites, Madame_,she said,"is it true that you give away flannel petticoats and stockings?"
13048_ Ecoutez_, do you know what is in that box I am going to get? 13048 _ Pays dévasté?
13048And I asked Sainte Claire,''May I not go to the well and bring up a bottle of wine?''
13048And for nothing?
13048And the bridegroom-- who is he?"
13048And, Madame, what do you think?
13048C''est vrai?
13048Can they hang it themselves?
13048Clothing?
13048Company?
13048Did you ever know an American to fail to make it worth your while?"
13048Food?
13048Is the town asleep?
13048LITTLE GRAINS OF SAND Shall I tell you about the old woman and her statue of Sainte Claire?
13048Or the one room left in that tiny house, shattered and bare, yet stamped indelibly with the character of its valiant occupants?
13048What are these pulsations that beat this day upon our soul?"
13048What good is he in a strange province where they eat such ridiculous things, and where everyone has the craze for machinery?
13048What news?"
13048What ripples from the seething capitals will stir the placid thoughts of your stouthearted peasants?
13048What secret of yielding and resisting was hers?
13048Would you like to see my''_ tiote[1] Sainte Claire_?"
13048est- ce possible?_ What happiness for that good girl!"
11531And do you bestow all this happiness upon them without being rewarded even by a kiss?
11531And what are you about to do with it?
11531And what may be the precious document, Monsieur le Ministre,she demanded flippantly,"of which you find it so impossible to relax your hold?"
11531And what was that?
11531And what would you say,asked Henry with ill- concealed anxiety,"were I to tell you that such an one exists in my own kingdom?"
11531Can you deny one assertion which I have made?
11531Have you already been baptized?
11531Say, Sire?
11531Why should you be surprised, Monsieur?
11531And will you persist in denying that you have deceived him in the most unblushing manner?
11531Have you any legitimate subject of complaint which you conceive to warrant your failure of respect towards their Majesties?"
11531Have you caused him to be arrested?"
11531How was it possible for love to nestle between a mouth and chin which are always interfering with each other?"
11531If you love as I do, can you hesitate to comply with their desire?
11531Is he not old enough to go alone?
11531The Dauphin having been placed upon the table, the Cardinal approached him and demanded:"Sir, what do you ask?"
11531Upon whom should he confer such favours as these, if not upon the Princes of the Blood, his cousins, his relatives, and his mistresses?"
11531What have you been about since you were informed of this act of treason, to which you should at once have attended?
11531[ 308] This fact alone tends more fully to develop the manners and morals(?)
11531and can he not be affianced without my presence?
11531enthusiastically exclaims Brantôme, her friend and correspondent;"what did he expect to do?
11531said the King still more angrily;"you think that he is at your hôtel, and you have not had him seized?
36209The Germans could easily have put a speedy end to the matter, but what Government could allow its rights to be vindicated by foreign bayonets?
20733An immense revolution had been effected, but by what force were its fruits to be guarded?
20733And what could be more puerile than the fanciful connection of the Supreme Being with a pastoral simplicity of life?
20733And, in any case, how could he resist the Committee?
20733Are you going to convert the new barbarians of our western world with this fair word of emptiness?
20733But then what qualities had Robespierre for building up a state?
20733Can the social union subsist without a belief in God?
20733Could such a people as this, he cries, ever have made a revolution or become free?
20733Danton said to him one day:--''What do I care?
20733How came Robespierre to assent in March to a violence which he had angrily discountenanced in February?
20733How could a society whose spiritual life had been nourished in the solemn mysticism of the Middle Ages, suddenly turn to embrace a gaudy paganism?
20733How could such men, he asked, have achieved such results, if they had not been instruments of the directing will of heaven?
20733How should the puritanical lawyer endure such cynicism as this?
20733If Robespierre was able to save Théot, why could he not save Cécile Renault?
20733If the Dantonists joined in destroying Robespierre, they would be helping the Right, and what security had they against a Girondin reaction?
20733Immense material improvements had been made, but who was to guard them against all these powerful and exasperated bands?
20733Now what was Robespierre''s motive in devising this infernal instrument?
20733Was Robespierre not to feel insults offered to the ablest and most devoted of his lieutenants?
20733Were the negro slaves to be admitted to citizenship, or was a legislature of planters to be entrusted with the task of social reformation?
20733What produced this sudden tack?
20733What security was possible under the Law of Prairial?
20733What, then, was the policy that inspired the Law of Prairial?
20733Why shall we not prize the general results of the Reformation, without being obliged to defend John of Leyden and the Munster Anabaptists?
20733Why should it have been any more successful four months earlier?
20733Why was it the only one?
22865''What would society be without this inequality of conditions?
22865And if so, to what elements in the forms of Christian teaching and practice is this due?
22865And whence comes your comet?
22865And, if so, why should not God have impressed this movement upon the planets directly, as easily as upon the comet to communicate it to them?
22865By the latter device, are we not assured against malversation of the funds?
22865Can you suppose that gravitation could cause the same body to describe a spiral and an ellipse?
22865Finally, how could the planets have left the body of the sun without falling back into it again?
22865For instance, has one effect of Christianity been to exalt a regard for the Sympathetic over the Æsthetic side of action and character?
22865How many persons of understanding have we taken for fools?
22865How trace the road, now overgrown and half- hidden, along which the race has travelled?
22865How was it that the people did not recognise the hand of a benefactor?
22865How, he inquires, can we seize the thread of the progress of the human mind?
22865If men earned money by labour and the use of their time, why not require from them time and labour instead of money?
22865If not, how could it fall from the sphere of the other bodies, and fall on the sun, which was not acting on it?
22865People take great trouble to tell a child that he must be just, temperate, and virtuous; and has it the least idea of virtue?
22865This much on the intellectual side; but how can we describe the moral transformation which the new faith brought to pass?
22865Was it within the sphere of the sun''s attraction?
22865What curve did they describe in leaving it, so as never to return?
22865What happens?
22865What other principle could have fought and vanquished both interests and prejudice united?
22865What were the effects of the appearance of Christ, and the revelation of the gospel?
22865What would the people live upon, who dwell in lands that produce no wheat?
22865Who would transport the productions of one country to another country?
22865Why should not others have the same privilege as ourselves?...
22865Why, he asks, do you replunge us into the night of hypotheses, justifying the Cartesians and their three elements and their vortices?
22865a perpetual balance between oppression on the one side, and revolt on the other?
19421And if so what should be his punishment?
19421Because you are a grand seigneur, he says, you think yourself a great genius; but, Monsieur le Comte, to what do you really owe your great privileges?
19421But by virtue of what theory of government were the poor entitled to this special protection?
19421Could the extinction of the feudal rights hold over such territory as German princes held within the borders of France?
19421Friendless, what could Louis do now?
19421How far would it go?
19421How was the evil to be dealt with?
19421Last of all, what of the labours of the professed historian of to- day?
19421Qu''entend- il par ce vers contre- révolutionaire_:_ N''est- on jamais tyran qu''avec un diadème_?
19421Quelle sera la proie Que la hache appelle aujourd''hui?
19421Serions nous donc arrivés à ce point que de nous prosterner devant de telles divinités?
19421Should there not be equality of rights and no invidious distinctions?
19421Since Taine''s great book, the influence of which is, in this year 1909, only just beginning to fade, what have we had?
19421Son âme a- t- elle jamais pu sentir la liberté{ 275} pour la bien rendre?
19421Voulez vous que je la reconnaisse, que je tombe à ses pieds, que je verse tout mon sang pour elle?
19421Was Louis guilty?
19421Was the Jacobin party prepared to advance towards a socialist or collectivist form of government?
19421Was the distinction between the three orders{ 54} to be maintained?
19421What about the price of food?
19421What could Louis do?
19421Why should not even women have a vote?
19421Why should not the poor man have a vote?
19421or were the deputies of all to meet in one assembly and have equal votes?
19421the monopoly of capital?
19421the private ownership of property?
19421was the noble or priest a person of social and political privilege?
2645And were the games to be concluded by a massacre?
2645And why not?
2645Are not these remarkable incidents?
2645But why continue this argument, which you have read in the newspapers for many months past?
2645But, would his ashes find a shelter sufficiently vast beneath this pedestal?
2645Did the French nation, or did they not, intend to offer up some of us English over the imperial grave?
2645Did you ever see a chicken escape from clown in a pantomime, and hop over into the pit, or amongst the fiddlers?
2645Do you take the allegory?
2645Had Lord Granville written?
2645He has been very ill, and is worn down almost by infirmities: but in his illness he was perpetually asking,"Doctor, shall I live till the 15th?
2645In this case what was Mary Magdalen to do?
2645Is it possible?

2645My dear Monseigneur, is not this par trop fort?

2645See, now, fifty years are gone, and where are shoebuckles?
2645Should we be any better than our neighbors?
2645Suppose"the foreigner"had wanted the coffin, could he not have kept it?
2645The people estranged, the aristocracy faithless( when did they ever pardon one who was not of themselves?)
2645We do n''t like to break it to him, but has he forgotten all about the farm at Pizzo, and the garden of the Observatory?
2645What was Ney''s paternal coat, prithee, or honest Junot''s quarterings, or the venerable escutcheon of King Joachim''s father, the innkeeper?
2645Where''s Ney?
2645Who is God here but Napoleon?
2645Why did n''t they move?
2645Why show this uncalled- for valor, this extraordinary alacrity at sinking?
2645Why?
2645Would you have anything further?
2645and have you not seen the shrieks of enthusiastic laughter that the wondrous incident occasions?
2645and why did the Prince de Joinville lug out sword and pistol so early?
2645can the Emperor forget?
2645or why, if he thought fit to make preparations, should the official journals brag of them afterwards as proofs of his extraordinary courage?
31517''But to whom is she married?'' 31517 ''How can we possibly tell you that?''
31517''I suppose,''he said,''you know of your sister''s marriage?'' 31517 ''What is all this about?''
31517Have you ever thought within yourself of that part where, having suffered so much by the news of his death, she_ will not_ believe he is alive? 31517 ''Do n''t you see the ships are scattered as far as the horizon in every direction? 31517 Has this occurred to you? 31517 Has this occurred to you? 31517 He said to Mr Powell,Why do you give up a man with such a pulse?
31517He said,"Can you believe any man would bring such intelligence unless it were well- founded?"
31517He took my hand, and said calmly and firmly,"My dear madam, why fancy evil?
31517How was this to be done, without fire- irons, or indeed without fire?
31517I asked,"How long?"
31517I called out,"Mr Hay, do you know anything?"
31517I do not!--which sister?''
31517I said,"Days or hours?"
31517I said,"Is he alive?"
31517I see by the despatch, giving an account of the late victory, that he was badly wounded-- how is he now?
31517Is he dead?"
31517Lady Hamilton said,"Did you hear from him?"
31517She then asked what I intended to do if the fighting continued, and if I should go to England?
31517Tell me, is he killed?"
31517What is good news for me now?"
31517When I went into the room where he lay, he held out his hand and said,"Come, Magdalene, this is a sad business, is it not?"
35215Could the streets have been cleared while the ferment was rising?
35215For what is"working,"_ i.e._ successful action, in any sphere?
35215If it came to action, what physical forces were opposed?
35215Much more, how did such a blunder escape the damnation of universal mockery and immediate impotence?
35215Of what nature was that quarrel?
35215What are those ends in a State?
35215What of the physical power behind the King?
35215What were they then, and why has the error that Robespierre was then master, arisen?
35215Where, then, does the legend differ from the truth?
35215Why did he dominate those five years, and how was it that he dominated them increasingly?
35215Why, then, was Robespierre popularly identified with the Terror, and why, when he was executed, did the Terror cease?
35215Why, when he fell, did the Terror cease if he were not its author?
28053Amid so many discouragements, is it conceivable that these powers will brave the consequences of an enterprise so full of despair?
28053And is not this determination a most propitious pledge of the stability and success of the present revolution?
28053And what power in Europe can complain?
28053Are we willing to teach the nations of the earth to despair, and resign themselves at once to the power that crushes them?
28053Can Austria or Prussia complain of it, as breaking the line of legitimate succession, while acknowledging Michael on the throne of Portugal?
28053Can England?
28053Is there any danger of such a relapse?
28053Is there any reason to believe that such an attempt will succeed?
28053Is this probable?
28053Must they not see, on the contrary, that it would be utterly hopeless?
28053On the first arrival of the intelligence, we involuntarily asked ourselves,"Can this be a reality?"
28053Or can Russia, while not only acknowledging Michael, but having her own throne at this moment filled with the younger brother of the family?
28053Or if she should, will Austria and Prussia, notwithstanding their alleged servility to her views, follow her in such an enterprise?
28053To what other nation can we look to do it?
28053What was that situation?
28053Who can hesitate between these two alternatives?
28053Whom have they to quarrel with?
28053Will it be sympathy for the fallen house of Bourbon?
28053Will the present Emperor of Russia support with his arms the violation of the charter thus sanctioned by his august brother?
28053With what decency, then, could Russia interfere?
3840Between father and son what contrast could be greater?
3840How should he meet him?--by war or by negotiation?
15246But,came the question,"what would have been the consequences of a change of residence?"
15246What can I do for you, my pretty girl?
15246Why should I discontinue this symbol?

15246He had been led to adopt a sort of"For God''s sake, what does she want?"
15246How shall they fare at the hands of posterity?
15246I burst out laughing, and said to Metternich,''Do you suppose I am going to waste my time over such foolishness?
15246Is it not rather to live?''"
15246Is that the invention of a man?
15246Is that to die?
15246May it not have been part of the subtle policy of Austria in arranging the marriage?
15246Napoleon was kept advised, during his stay at Elba, of their designs on the liberty they had graciously(?)

15246What I want to know is: What have you done with this France which I left you so glorious?
15246Who knows?
15246Why did Lord Keith not give_ them_, as he did the devoted Frenchmen, a little sermon on the orthodoxy of the gallows?
15246Why does Scott quote Gourgaud if, as he says, it is probable that the malady was in slow progress even before 1817?
15246Why should he complain in the fretful way he does of his treatment and his condition?
15246Why should she be so anxious to be in the immediate reach of tyranny?"
15246You are craving for more victories?
15246You ask for the capture of a town?
15246You demand a prompt march?
14496Are the cantons going to help you pay your debts?
14496Brother, do you pledge me safety?
14496For whom does your prince labour? 14496 Is it true?
14496To whom?
14496What could you do alone? 14496 What tidings, Monsieur, do you bring us?
14496Yes, yes,was the quick answer of the fickle crowd.--"You desire the suppression of the_ cueillotte_, do you not?"
14496[ 3] What was the significance of these veiled allusions? 14496 --You want all your gates opened again, your banners restored, and your privileges reinforced as of yore?"
14496As to an assessment, what is the use unless the tax is surely to be paid?
14496Between Peronne and Namur did the party turn aside to visit the young Duchess of Burgundy, either at Hesdin or at Aire?

14496From the walls they hurled words at the foe:"Is your old doll of a duke tired of life that you have brought him here to perish?
14496Had Henry van Borselen done all he could to prevent Warwick''s landing in England?
14496Had not the former been a beggarly suppliant at his father''s gates, as dauphin?
14496Have you made peace?"
14496Is it I who wanted the French crown?
14496Is it for himself or for you, for your defence?
14496Is that a king of France, the greatest king in the world?
14496It was Groothuse alone who averted disaster:"Do you not see that your life and ours hang on a silken thread?
14496Relinquish Normandy, restored by the hand of heaven to its natural liege lord after its long retention by the English kings?
14496Under these circumstances what remained to hinder the attainment of Charles''s desire?
14496Was Charles too exigeant with his demands, too chary of his daughter?
14496Was I not equally obliged to proceed against Liege, in behalf of my countship of Namur, which sprang from the bosom of Flanders?
14496Was he not the very person to tame insolent Swiss cowherds?
14496What man in Europe was better able to teach them a lesson than Charles, the destroyer of Liege, the stern curber of undue liberty in Flanders?
14496What was the reason for their selfish insubordination?
14496With killing of every kind at his service, what greater solace could a homeless prince expect?
14496Would he not perhaps be an excellent mediator between the lesser dukes and the king?

3839Well,said she,"M. de Seurre, what do you think of all this?"
3839And who knows but they might seek their revenge upon me by taking away your life?
3839Do n''t you think I am as great a rogue as that Simier?"
3839Do you not perceive how dangerous his going will prove to my kingdom?
3839Will you oblige me so far as to rise and go to Fosseuse, who is taken very ill?
3839cried I,"has my brother no one else to send a message by?"
3838But who is it,answered she,"that tells you all this?
3838And can I then be justly said to live?
3838Dead in estate, do I then yet survive?
3838The King said,"Why so?
3838What grounds are there for such a calumny?
3842And what are they?
3842Whom should we see?
3842Whom, then, do you confide in at Paris?
3842What relation had these trifling stories to the archbishopric of Paris?
3842Who, therefore, can write truth better than the man who has experienced it?

30981that''s funny, is it not?
3551What signifies that,replied Bonaparte,"if it was necessary to the object he had in view?"
3551But is there not some ground for suspecting the fidelity of him who writes or dictates his own history?
3551But it may be said to me, Why should we place more confidence in you than in those who have written before you?
3551Have I not always been contending either with domestic enemies or foreign foes?
3551He asked me whether I would go with him?
3551His favourite phrase, which was every moment on his lips, must not be forgotten--"What will history say-- what will posterity think?"
3551However great Napoleon may have been, was he not also liable to pay his tribute to the weakness of human nature?

35678Does the incongruity of such an arrangement strike no one among the religiously- minded people who visit Le Puy?

35678People may regard it as a joke; but what about Catherine the Great and Queen Victoria?"
35678What does the average middle- class family know of the French residents in London?
35678When one remembers, too, the astonishing business capacity of the average Frenchwoman, one is inclined to echo the question,"Why not?"
35678When questioned as to the seriousness of her purpose she asked,"And why not a woman head of the State?

35212he was met with the prompt and significant rejoinder,"Who made thee king?"
28934Has he ever said he will put himself to death?
28934Have you any property there?
28934If that is the case,I said,"why not ask an asylum in England?"
28934Is it possible?
28934Is your elder brother a Lord?
28934Lord Keith is a little too severe; is he not, Madam?
28934What like was he-- was he really a man? 28934 What, Las Cases, are you a military man?
28934Who is that young lady?
28934And addressing himself to her,"Milord Keith est un peu trop sevère; n''est- ce pas, Madame?"
28934But what return did England make for so much magnanimity?
28934Certainly I made no conditions; how could an individual enter into terms with a nation?
28934Could I possibly get them a sight of the monster, just that they might be able to say they had seen him?"
28934During the above- mentioned conversation, I asked Las Cases where Buonaparte then was?
28934He answered 1200 piastres; upon which the girl turned round in a rage, and said to Lambrino,"You dog- faced fellow, what is that to you?"
28934He then looked at a portrait that was hanging up, and said,"Qui est cette jeune personne?"
28934He then said,"How do you feel as to keeping him?
28934I asked her, how she could be so indiscreet as to attempt to destroy herself?
28934I then asked him how he came by his intelligence?
28934I was sitting this evening next Montholon, when Madame Bertrand entered; I said to her,"Will you not sit down and take something?"
28934Now, reader, do you think this would have been a pardonable theft?
28934On going into his cabin, he said,"Bertrand informs me you have received orders to remove me to the Northumberland; is it so?"
28934Quelle plus éclatante preuve pouvait- il lui donner de son estime et de sa confiance?
28934The French officers were very indignant at such rude proceedings, saying,"Is this your English liberty?
28934The first lieutenant came up the side, and to Maitland''s eager and blunt question,"Have you got him?"
28934Was his voice like thunder?
28934Was it true that he had killed three horses in riding from Waterloo to the Bellerophon?
28934Were his hands and clothes all over blood when he came on board?
28934Were we not all frightened for him?
28934What more brilliant proof could he give of his esteem and his confidence?
28934got whom?"
28934would you like to part with him?"
1335Do you know,said Law to the Marquis d''Argenson,"that this kingdom of France is governed by thirty intendants?
1335A ruffian on a horse-- what is there that he will not ride over, and ride on, careless and proud of his own shame?
1335Among what class of men were there not such in those evil days?
1335And if vanity, profligacy, pride, and idleness be not injustices and moral vices, what are?
1335And that amendment must always come from within, and not from without?
1335And what has this century caught from these philosophers?
1335And when a whole people, or even a majority thereof, shall be possessed by that, what is there that they will not do?
1335Are we on the eve of stagnation?
1335Are you so sure of that?
1335But we are bound to ask-- Had they a fair chance of knowing what we know?
1335But what was the cause of the curse?
1335But who shall say that their method was not correct?
1335But why so cruel?
1335Electric telegraphs?
1335Have we proof that their hatred was against all religion, or only against that which they saw around them?
1335In what class of men are there not such now, in spite of all social and moral improvement?
1335Is not the answer-- that the question always is not of destroying the world, but of amending it?
1335Of a long check to the human intellect?
1335Of a new Byzantine era, in which little men will discuss, and ape, the deeds which great men did in their forefathers''days?
1335Railroads?
1335That it was not the only method?
1335That men must be taught to become men, and mend their world themselves?
1335That there were charlatans among them, vain men, pretentious men, profligate men, selfish, self- seeking, and hypocritical men, who doubts?
1335The nobleman had played the mountebank: why should not the mountebank, for once, play the nobleman?
1335The world was all gone wrong: but as for setting it right again-- who could do that?
1335They recalled men to facts; they bid them ask of everything they saw-- What are the facts of the case?
1335To persist in being needy and wretched, when a whole bureaucracy is toiling day and night to make them prosperous and happy?
1335What could a corrupt tree bring forth, but corrupt fruit?
1335What drew them up to Paris save vanity and profligacy?
1335What if sub- delegates and other officials, holding office at the will of the intendant, had to live, and even provide against a rainy day?
1335What kept them from intermarrying with the middle class save pride?
1335What made them give up the office of governors save idleness?
1335What more exasperating and inexpiable insult to the ruling powers was possible than this?
1335What progress-- it is a question which some will receive with almost angry surprise-- what progress has the human mind made since 1815?
1335Why not?
1335Why not?
1335Will our age, in its turn, ever be spoken of as an old Regime?
1335Would not the system, then, soon become intolerable?
1335Would there not be evil times for the masses, till they became something more than masses?
1335Would you have had them appeal to unnatural law?--law according to which God did not make this world?
1335Would you have had them appeal to unreason?
1335You have read what Goethe-- and still more important, what Mr. Carlyle has written on him, as on one of the most significant personages of the age?
37211And what might you be called?
37211And what wishes the king?
37211Shall you not revenge yourself upon him, for his cruel treatment of you?
37211Thy age?
37211Thy wish?
37211Thy_ pays_, my lad?
37211Were you not suspicious,he asked, querulously,"when we left for Amboise so suddenly?"
37211''s oubliettes?"
37211But what would you, inquisitive traveller?
37211But why?
37211Has not George Sand expressed her love of it as fervidly as did Marie Antoinette for the Trianon?
37211How can one not love its prairies, gently sloping to the caressing Loire, its rolling hills and dainty ravines?
37211She simply asked:"Is the king yet dead?"
37211What would not the French give for the return of this work of art?
37211ou bien dévot hermite?"
3845And will you neglect the only opportunity Providence puts a into your hands to obtain the honour of it?
3845Do you count it a slight thing to put an end to all these miseries?
3845Then he said,"If I should resolve to brave it out, will you declare for me?"
3845Whether Bordeaux will return to its duty, as well as the Prince de Conti and Madame de Longueville?
3845Whether the places which the Prince de Conde has fortified shall be put into the condition they were in before the breach?
3845Whether they will come to Court?
3845Whether they will disband their forces?
3845Whether they will dismiss all the foreigners that are in the kingdom?
3845Whether they will not form new pretensions?
3845Whether, in this case, they will renounce all leagues and associations with foreign princes?
29603And what motive,inquired the duke,"impelled you to such a deed?
29603Are you a coward?
29603Art thou the admiral?
29603Do you desire this_ sincerely_?
29603Indeed,he replied,"how can I be otherwise, to see a people so ungrateful toward their king?
29603My friends,said he,"why do you weep?
29603Well, then, will you be my son- in- law?
29603What do you desire?
29603Which of the two do you like the best?
29603Would you have me,Henry replied,"profess conversion with the dagger at my throat?
29603And could you, in the day of battle, follow one with confidence who had thus proved that he was an apostate and without a God?
29603And how was it in the army of the Duke of Mayenne?
29603And what is religion, if it can be laid aside like a shirt?"
29603And yet can it be justly called so?
29603Are these things to be spoken in a corner?
29603As Henry approached the door of the church, the archbishop, as if to repel intrusion, imperiously inquired,"Who are you?"
29603As the Queen of Navarre retired for the night, Charles said to Catharine, laughing,"Well, mother, what do you think of it?
29603Casting away his racket, he exclaimed, with every appearance of indignation,"Shall I never be at peace?"
29603Do I play my little part well?"
29603Do you wish me to counsel him to go to mass?
29603Has not God smitten us all enough to allay our fury, and to make us wise at last?"
29603Have I done you any wrong?"
29603Have you never read the Catholic doctors?"
29603He ordered the man to be brought before him, and calmly inquired,"Have you not come hither to kill me?"
29603Henry III., on one occasion, had said to him,"How can a man of your intelligence and ability be a Protestant?
29603Is not this sufficient?
29603Is the monster really dead?
29603Moreover, who could recount his other common or extraordinary labors?
29603Oh, was there ever such a knight, in friendship or in war, As our sovereign lord King Henry, the soldier of Navarre?"
29603On whom, pray, should the king confer favors, if not on his relatives and his influential friends?"
29603Raising his eyes, he said to the embassador,"Are you a father?"
29603The cartoons of Raphael are beautiful, but what are they when compared with the heaving ocean, the clouds of sunset, and the pinnacles of the Alps?
29603The dome of St. Peter''s is man''s noblest architecture, but what is it when compared with the magnificent rotunda of the skies?
29603The king fondly took the playful child in his arms, and said affectionately,"Will you be my son?"
29603The king looked sternly upon him, and, without any word of greeting, exclaimed angrily,"Did I not forbid you to enter Paris?"
29603Then turning to Mayenne, he added,"Tell me the truth, cousin, do I not walk a little too fast for you?"
29603Think you that the people, having stripped me of the august prerogatives of royalty, would respect in you the rights of a prince of the blood?
29603When will he imbibe the spirit of a noble toleration-- of a kind brotherhood?
29603Who then should grasp the rich prize of the sceptre of France?
29603Who was to be his successor?
29603With what conscience shall I advise if I do not first go myself?
29603he shouted, looking up at the window,"have you done it?"
29603my friend, is it true?
29603why did I follow such evil counsels?"
16943Are you master of your horses?
16943But,he persisted,"you will drink ale with me?"
16943But,said he,"you will give_ me_ a glass?"
16943How,they asked,"was she from home?"
16943Where shall we go?
16943Will it be worth our while to go so far to see a small cemetery?
16943You came to see these graves?
16943And how long can such a state of things continue without dragging down the women who marry such men?
16943And was it not very natural for it to jump from belief to infidelity?
16943Are such pictures as can be found in the French gallery, pictures which express sensuality and debauchery, productive of good?
16943Can we rest content with such a prospect?
16943Dead and buried nobility-- what is it?
16943Did I ever go out of my way to see even buried_ royalty_?
16943Do these things improve the morals of a city or nation?
16943Does the world not know him to have long been an open and thoroughly debauched libertine?
16943For should not the exchange for the greatest merchants of Paris be built in a stable rather than in a slight and beautiful manner?
16943Have you not thought to see the wide meadow rise before you, bathed in the rosy light of the evening when you saw it for the first time?
16943He met his friend, the marquis de Pastorel, one day, who said:"How are you, Horace; where have you kept yourself for these two years?
16943He wrote to a friend in France:"How can I forget the barbarous manner with which I have been treated in my own country?
16943His father at one time remonstrated with the old man for taking the boy thus early to the theater, and asked,"Do you mean to make an actor of him?"
16943How comes it, then, that so near Paris, agricultural implements are so far behind the age?
16943How could a man with an independent intellect succumb to such a church?
16943I wish to know what is deemed an outrage to the established government of France?''
16943If so, why is it that wherever naked pictures and sensual statuary abound, the people are licentious and depraved?
16943Is it well to look at so much nakedness, even if it be executed with the highest art?
16943Now is it not a significant fact, that within a bow- shot of Paris I found tools in use, which would be laughed at in the free states of America?
16943One of the men who had her in charge, cried out,"Do you wish the window of the carriage to be closed?"
16943Pure, guileless generous-- and poor, what could he do in New York?

11298Was I in the grocery line, or the oil and colour line?

3860If he thought so, why oppose us so long?
3860On arriving at the supper- table, the King said to the new Duchess:--"Madame, will you be pleased to seat yourself?"
3860and if he did not think so, what a prevaricator was he to reply with this flattery, so as to be in accord with the King?
13044And why, if the civil authorities are too weak to resist the torrent, is there not a sufficient military force to stem it?
13044Could this be said of a party in England, on a similar occasion?
13044How long will they continue so?
13044I suppose the French children are not so easily pleased as our English men and women are?"
13044Is Charles the Tenth ignorant of the actual state of things in Paris, and of the power of public opinion?
13044Is it possible your lordsip can taste any thing so barbarous?
13044L''estime, l''amitié, la confiance, ne suffisent- elles pas aux glaces de la vieillesse?"
13044Must she not tremble for the future, if not for the present, among a people so versatile as those among whom she is now thrown?
13044Of whom were they, the honoured dead, Whose mem''ry Love would here record?
13044Shall I ever see that delightful land again?
13044Shewing within their coral cell The shining pearls that there did dwell, But dwell no more?
13044Talk of the ideal in poetry?
13044The author must be a man of fine feelings, as well as of genius,--but were they ever distinct?
13044What cheered these men of genius during their toils and enabled them to finish their glorious works?
13044What may not to- morrow''s sun witness, ere it goes down?
13044What would our political friends say if they knew how strongly I urged him not to go, but to send his proxy to Lord Rosslyn?
13044Where are the civil authorities during all this commotion?
13044Who can be deceived in the house of a_ nouveau riche_?
13044Who can look on this heroic woman without astonishment at the power of endurance that has enabled her to live on under such trials?
13044Who is there that can boast an English birth, that would not wish to die at home and rest in an English grave?
13044Why fleets youth so fast away, Taking beauty in its train, Never to return again?
13044Why will health no longer stay?
13044You once more ask,"If he has got nothing to match the colour you require?"
13044and if mirrors could retain the shadows replete with despair they once reflected, who dare look on them?
13044exclaimed he,"is it possible that all my efforts to amuse that child have so wholly failed?
13044for when were the actions of public men judged free from the prejudices that discolour and distort all viewed through their medium?
13044how can I think that I must soon leave all those who love me so much, and whom I so dote on, without bitter regret?
13044it is now too late to think of marriage, and what, therefore, is to be done?
13044or does he hope to vanquish the resistance likely to be offered to this act?
13044where''s the crimson dye That youth and health did erst supply?
13044why is no second spring allowed to us?
34400And who will command if you go?
34400Do you know what you did yesterday?
34400It is a great misfortune,he said;"what is the Government doing?
34400No; who are you?
34400Now then, Lefèbvre,said he,"you, one of the pillars of the Republic, are you going to let it perish in the hands of these lawyers?
34400Well, Prince of Essling,said Napoleon,"are you no longer Masséna?"
34400What then?
34400What, General Dumas, do you not know me?
34400Are you worse than at Wagram?
34400As early as 1794 we find him writing to a friend:"Ought we to be exposed to the tyranny of any chance revolutionary committee or club?...
34400Do you think that our men are as good now as in 1792--that we can be as keen to- day after fifteen years''war?
34400Does not imagination play a great part in your weakness?
34400For what did we need?
34400How much older are you now than at Essling?
34400Is it then only French blood that is to flow in Spain without regret and without vengeance?"
34400It was the taunt of his chief of the staff,"Do you know that the soldiers say you are afraid and do not dare to advance?"
34400Marceau, indignant at being rebuked by a young staff officer, roughly asked,"And who are you?"
34400That evening at dinner the Emperor asked,"Is that the way you manage your horse?"
34400The Emperor, to further mystify him, said,"Do you like chocolate, Monsieur le Duc?"
34400The Marshal, in a fury, turned on his aide- de- camp, exclaiming,"Wretch, do you want to ruin me?
34400Well might the Emperor cry out,"What, after such a butchery no results?
34400When I witness such behaviour I ask,''Is this treason or imbecility?''
34400Who are they going to send against that man?"
34400Who had given him the duchy, the fortress, and everything?"
34400Who knows but that within two hours I shall not hear that you are taken off?
34400Your age?
34400Your health?
34400no prisoners?"
35068Are the trains going to be stopped?
35068Has Germany declared yet?
35068How about money? 35068 How can I send a letter to my husband in Germany?"
35068Is England going into it?
35068Is there going to be a war?
35068Let me in this, will you?
35068Will all Americans be ordered home?
35068Will we be safe in Switzerland?
35068Will we have to have passports?
35068_ Encore?_I said.
35068And the Swiss prosperity, and the medical practice, and the sciences?
35068And the old car-- that to us had always seemed to have a personality and sentience-- had it been dreaming, too?
35068And what of the rest of Europe?
35068And what of their positions in America?
35068And why a dog?
35068Any questions, please?
35068Are the Swiss banks going to stop payment on letters of credit?"
35068But what would be done with them later?
35068Could they ship all those cherries north and sell them?
35068Do their occupants have traditional rights from some vague time without date?
35068Do they pay rent, and to whom?
35068Furthermore, concerning the color chosen for profane use-- why blue?
35068He looked intelligent, too, and as a last resort I said:"''Could you, by any chance, tell me the name of the Swiss President?''
35068How can the French afford those roads-- how can they pay for them and keep them in condition?
35068How can they afford to keep it here?
35068How can they afford to maintain such a road through that sterile land?
35068How could Bonny, a mere village, ever have built a church like that-- a church that to- day would cost a million dollars?
35068How could they give a dinner like that, and a good bed, and coffee and rolls with jam next morning, all for four francs-- that is, eighty cents, each?
35068Keats( I think it was Keats, or was it Carolyn Wells?)
35068Mistral[ sa mère] eut une idée._"''_ Si nous faisons tapisser et plafonner ta chambre?''
35068Narcissa asked,"How would you get the car up there?"
35068Often we said as we drove along,"What little hotel do you suppose is waiting for us to- night?"
35068So I picked out a bright- looking subject, and said:"''What is the name of the Swiss President?''
35068What did the barbarians do there-- those hordes that swarmed in and trampled Rome?
35068What would you do then?"
35068Will the ships be running then?"
35068Would I go again, under the same conditions?
35068[ 11] The German Kaiser, once reviewing the Swiss troops, remarked, casually, to a sub- officer,"You say you could muster half a million soldiers?"
3873How was this to be done?
3867As soon as she had closed the door,"Well, Monsieur,"said I to the Dauphin,"if you had drawn the bolt?"
3867For, if he did not know where the information came from how could he be assured it was trustworthy?
3867Madame de Maintenon cried out,"Where are you going?
3867Monseigneur le Duc de Bourgogne become Dauphin, heir to the throne of France; what favour might I not hope for?
3867People asked each other if this was really the same man they had known as the Duc de Bourgogne, whether he was a vision or a reality?
3867what purity of purpose!--May I say it?
3844How can that be?
3844I expect,she said,"to be befriended for my own sake, and do n''t I deserve it?
3844Was anything,said the Queen,"ever so strange and unaccountable?
3844Whither are we going?
3844Are you not master of the people?
3844At this the Queen''s countenance began to brighten, and she said, very softly,"What is it, then, that you will do?"
3844Can you not possibly serve me without being the enemy of him in whom I most confide?"
3844Do not you command the army?
3844Has his Royal Highness any regular troops to besiege Vincennes?
3844I added,"And M. le Prince,"who thereupon said, with a scornful air:"What, I?
3844I do all I can for you, I offer you a place in my Council, I offer you the cardinalship; pray what will you do for me?"
3844I said to M. Bellievre, who seemed to be overjoyed that the Prince had not been able to devour me;"for whom do we labour?
3844Is it not possible for you to make your friends love her?"
3844Is not the whole garrison in that castle in the King''s service?
3844Must I retire?"
3844Must we let the Prince de Conde and the Coadjutor be murdered?
3844monsieur, are you armed?"
3863And why not?
3863But what hindrance could there be,said Monseigneur,"since there was nothing between the two armies?"
3863What promise, Sire?
3863What promise?
3863Why not?
3863Madame de Maintenon smiled with majestic kindness, and addressing the Princesse d''Harcourt,"Is this the way,"said she;"that you go to prayers?"
3863Must it be said then?
3863People asked with surprise and much annoyance whence came such a great friendship which had never been suspected by anybody?
3863What will not a man think of doing when possessed to excess by love or ambition?
3849And who may they be?
3849Are you in fun or in earnest?
3849Are you, then, afraid?
3849But if he has only my well- being in view,I quickly retorted,"why did not he think of this at first?
3849Do you love him immensely?
3849Do you think he is equally devoted to you?
3849For Fontevrault?
3849Have you really got some king stowed away in one of your rooms?
3849Is Racine in easy circumstances?
3849Lord Hyde, the Chancellor?
3849Well, M. Bailiff,said his Majesty,"did you easily recognise me at first sight?"
3849Whom have you in view?
3849Among these kings, too, there were most holy, most saintly people, and--""Then, what do you conclude from that, Duke?"
3849And little Peguilain de Lauzun, of whom you used to be so fond when you were both boys,--where is he?
3849How can you institute a comparison between such a relationship and your own?"
3849How comes it that Madame Deshoulieres and Madame de Sevigne, who have so much mind, refuse to recognise beauties which strike a genius such as yours?"
3849What rank does he now hold?"
3849When and how did you come?"
3849Why did my sovereign not say to me frankly, I do not like this marriage; you must oppose it, Chancellor, to please me?
3849cried his Majesty;"so you are back again?
3870And the expenses, and the ordonnance respecting these taxes, what do you do with them?
3870What is this, Monsieur?
3870Yes,said M. le Duc d''Orleans: then looking at M. le Duc, who smiled;"you do n''t care to go there?"
3870You do not approve of it?
3870At the end of each matter I said to him,"And the Perigueux affair?"
3870It may be imagined with what silence he was listened to, and how all eyes?
3870Monsieur,"said I to M. le Duc d''Orleans, still firmly holding the sleeve of the Duc de Noailles,"do you care much to- day for the opera?"
3552Well, General,said I,"what think you of our journey?
3552What was the force of that army?
3552''For what purpose are we come here?''
3552--"What is it, and on whose behalf?"
3552Are you satisfied?
3552But what has been the result of this great political spoliation?
3552Can the mercy which they have exercised even in the fury of battle be extinct in their hearts?
3552Do you know that you have all of you been the cause of my not following up the battle of Chebreisse?
3552Have the soldiers of liberty become executioners?
3552He considered victory to be a thing that was impossible, and even with a victory, what would have become of the expedition?
3552He never failed to ask whence they came?
3552He one day said to me:"What gross stupidity, is this?
3552He said:"The three armies, of the North, of the Rhine, and of the Sambre- et- Meuse, are to form only one, the army of Germany.--Augereau?
3552How could he have supported the establishment he did with only 15,000 francs of income and the emoluments of his rank?
3552How could it ever be said that the Directory"kept General Bonaparte away from the great interests which were under discussion at Rastadt"?
3552I know well there are societies where it is said,"Is this blood, then, so pure?"
3552Is he the author?"
3552It was speedily ascertained that the little advanced guard of the headquarters had not heard the"Qui vive?"
3552Then how oppose all the Austrian forces that will march to the protection of Vienna?
3552What does he desire of me?"
3552What was Bonaparte''s conduct?
3552When I saluted the General, whom I had not seen for twelve days, he thus addressed me:"So you are here, are you?
3552Why then fight for a few paltry villages?
3552Will you send, for this purpose, your power of attorney to Bacciocchi, or to whomsoever you think fit?
3552what course they had sailed?
3552what ships they had met?
3552what was their destination?
3861A grey hat,replied the King;"where the devil did you learn that?"
3861Do you wish to learn it?
3861Not at all,said the Marquis,"the painter is called INRI; do you not see his name upon all the pictures?"
3861What do you say?
3861Why, sire,said Le Notre,"what can I say?
3861Gentlemen,"said he, addressing the company,"have we not reason to think our fortune prodigious-- the Marechal and I?"
3861How, in spite of a circle of accomplices, could a movement of the arms necessary for such a throw escape all eyes?
3861Is not this a real romance?
3861Is not this excellent?
3861What is the matter?"
3861Who would have believed that"Probleme"could spring from such a man?
3861Who would hesitate between corn and this beautiful mirror?"
3861said her friends,"where did you find that?"
10670''And her friend?''
10670''But what has happened to you?''
10670''But where is the Savoy Hotel, where I stayed in''93?''
10670''Did you hear that?''
10670''Do you think that a safe- conduct to take Dreyfus''s place would suit him?''
10670''I suppose you regard me as a bit of a fool?''
10670''Is there any place hereabouts where I could write a note?''
10670''This, I suppose,''said the novelist,''is what you call a London slum invading the country?
10670''What did she say?''
10670''What is the matter?
10670''Who has n''t?''
10670''Why is it,''said he,''that the Englishman when he writes of himself should invariably use a capital letter?
10670A good place that-- pays well, eh?
10670A great success?
10670After all, was it not in something akin to a romance that I was living?
10670And then-- why not?
10670And, after all, was not that course more worthy, more dignified?
10670And, if so, what could be their purpose?
10670Besides, why should he wait until the ensuing Tuesday?
10670But how do you know that?''
10670But was it a probable course for the novelist to take?
10670But what was in the envelope?
10670Could she, my wife, oblige him with M. Zola''s address?
10670Did I know So- and- So and So- and- So of Hatton Garden?
10670Did he claim to have received Labori''s card from Labori himself?
10670How did it originate?''
10670I could only gasp,''How do you know that?''
10670Is this for the sake of privacy?
10670Next came a torrent of questions: Why were the houses so small?
10670On cabby looking down at me, I said,''Did I tell you Charing Cross just now, driver?
10670Plum tart, though served hot( why not cold, like the French_ tarte_?)
10670Sets a man up, eh?''
10670Should I be at home on the morrow?
10670Should he go into the country, or to the seaside, or settle down in the London suburbs?
10670So would he not be liable to recognition almost immediately?
10670Some people may ask, Where does the money for many of these demonstrations come from?
10670Starting from the Grosvenor Hotel, might not the reporters trace the master to Wimbledon, and thence to his present retreat?
10670The council dealt mainly with two points-- first, what was M. Zola to do in England?
10670Then mysteriously-- lifting his forefinger and lowering his voice,''Now your friend wants"talent,"eh?
10670Then the hotel porter asked me,''Where to, sir?''
10670Then, all at once, one of them inquired of the other:''Shall we get out at Wimbledon or Raynes Park?''
10670Was he not so- and- so and so- and- so?''
10670Was there no scavengers''service?
10670We were served, I remember, by a very amusing and familiar waiter, who, addressing M. Zola by preference( I wonder if he recognised him?
10670What classes of people lived in them?
10670What could he do with them?
10670What could it be?
10670What is that huge building beside it?''
10670What was the document in the envelope which he would only deliver to M. Zola in person?
10670What were these Frenchmen like?''
10670Whatever could be the cause of their delay?
10670Where those streets never watered?
10670Who could those ladies be?
10670Who was he?
10670Why not return the very next night-- that of Sunday, June 4--by the Dover and Calais route?
10670Why was there such a litter of fragments of paper lying about everywhere?
10670Why were the roads so dusty?
10670Why were they all so ugly and so much alike?
10670You are Mr. Vizetelly, I believe?''
10670said he, after a few pointless remarks,''your friend is over here on business, eh?
30875And are you not in the secret?
30875And my niece,replied the princess, ever forgetful of herself in her thoughtfulness for others,"can she go too?"
30875Certainly,was the reply;"and you will hold the head?"
30875Did the cardinal himself assure you of this?
30875Did you hurt you?
30875Has your majesty,timidly suggests a lady of the court,"ever seen the sun rise?"
30875How dare you make such a request?
30875How long is the queen to be teased about that necklace? 30875 What are these pimples,"inquired the king,"which are breaking out all over my body?"
30875What do you intend to do?
30875What have you done with them?
30875Where are you conducting us?
30875Who commissioned you to make this purchase?
30875Why do you hate me so, my friend?
30875You have purchased diamonds of Boehmer?
30875You will see the body properly embalmed?
30875And what have you done to irritate them so much?"
30875But what_ shall_ I do?"
30875Did not you yourself tell me that you had sold it at Constantinople?"
30875For what does she owe you that enormous sum?"
30875Groups upon the Boulevards inquired,"Why is the queen thus frolicking at midnight without her husband?"
30875If so, what joy could there remain on earth for them after their awful sufferings and bereavements?
30875Is his mother alive?"
30875Shouts of derision filled the air, while the mob without were incessantly crying,"Have you killed them yet?
30875The day for the final decision came-- Shall the king live or die?
30875The queen read this strange note aloud, again and again exclaiming,"What does the man mean?
30875To whom must I apply for that?"
30875Was it not droll?
30875Were they also to perish upon the guillotine, where nearly all whom they had loved had already perished?
30875Were they ever to be released?
30875Were they to linger out the remnant of their days in this wretched captivity?
30875What course could she with safety pursue?
30875What shall she do to give wings to the lagging hours?
30875What was to be their own fate?
30875Where did you obtain these securities and these promissory notes, signed in the queen''s name, which have been given to Boehmer?"
30875Who can measure the amount of their endurance during these fifteen hours of woe?
30875Why do I love so fondly?
30875Why is not the property of emigrants confiscated-- their houses burned-- a price set upon their heads?
30875Why must I eat black bread, and be clothed in the coarsest garments, that these lords and ladies may glitter in jewelry and revel in luxury?
30875Why should I make the people miserable?
30875Will you consent?"
30875Would their inhuman jailers envy them the consolation they found in each other''s arms, and separate them?
30875and how could you suppose that I should have acted through the mediation of such a character as the Countess Lamotte?"
30875exclaimed Madame Elizabeth,"why do you undeceive them?
30875is to- day yesterday again?"
30875said the queen, kindly;"have I ever done any thing to injure or to offend you?"
30875was it not droll?"
30875why am I so fondly loved?
11278And God?
11278And have you thought,says the Lord God,"that when you go forth to conquer you will crush many peoples and shed rivers of blood?"
11278And will you not feel pity for the killed, the wounded, the burned, the ruined, and the dead?
11278But what does''Bonaparty''mean, and why is a single word so terrible?
11278But what have I got to do with your conquering the world?
11278How about famine?
11278How could I be your foe, when there has never been any sort of quarrel between us? 11278 How did your Napoleonder ever get into the world?"
11278Indeed,said the soldier,"is it so?
11278Then what''s the use of your conquering the world?
11278Well, then,replied the soldier,"if you know it, why do n''t you reckon with God?"
11278What do you mean--''killed you for''?
11278What do you want?
11278What have you been doing with my children the soldiers?
11278What kind of a word?
11278Who''s he? 11278 Why do you say, my little brother, that the people have never seen a real warrior?
11278Why does n''t my plan show wisdom?
11278Why should I feel pity? 11278 Why should n''t I kill you,"said Napoleonder,"when you were the enemy,--that is, my foe,--come out to fight me on the field of Borodino?"
11278Will you conquer him?
11278Will you permit me,Satan says,"to bring about an invasion of foreigners?"
11278''Why?
11278A trifle, eh?
11278And I killed him-- why?"
11278And is it possible that you really think you can conquer the whole world?"
11278And the ghastly figure seemed to ask again,"Why did you kill me?"
11278But a voice seemed to whisper in his ear:"And why?
11278But how did they know that he had an agreement with God?
11278But why did you kill me?
11278But you-- why did you kill me?"
11278Could a man have done all that alone?
11278Did anybody ever see him a lieutenant?
11278Did ever a man, before him, take an empire by merely showing his hat?
11278Do you call that natural?
11278Do you understand?"
11278Generals and Field- marshals, how can I check this Napoleonder?
11278Has killing me given you the world?
11278How was that?
11278How, then, can you say you do n''t know any such thing as pity?
11278Is it right that the relatives of your Emperor should have to beg their bread?
11278Now will any of you tell me that that was natural?
11278Or a captain?
11278Tell me, please, what have you killed me for?"
11278The Lord God replies:"Then you think he did n''t receive a soul when my water of life fell on his head?"
11278The Lord God shook his finger at Satan and cried:"Is that all you can think of?
11278Then the angels and the archangels began to say to God:"Lord, why have you laid upon him such a frightful command?
11278Then there was no more army; do you understand?
11278Then, turning to his dead men, he said:"Did you see that?"
11278They thought that France was crushed, did they?
11278Was it natural that they should get such an idea as that?
11278Was that natural, do you think?
11278Was that natural?
11278Was that natural?
11278What could a wounded Russian soldier want of him?
11278When you went into the army, did n''t you take an oath that you would die?"
11278Where did he come from?"
11278Who of you, my servants, will go down to the earth-- who will undertake the great work of softening the conqueror''s heart?"
11278Why, then, did you kill me?"
11278Why?"
11278Why?"
11278Why?"
11278Why?''
11278Would they have done that for a mere man?
11278You have a soul, have n''t you?"
3866But have you told her all?
3866--"And are you content?"
3866He appeared struck with what I had said, rose after a profound silence, paced to and fro, and then asked,"But how?"
3866Seeing the opportunity so good, I replied in a firm and significant tone,"How?
3866Shall I say that we desired them, and that we thought of nothing but how to preserve, not use our army?
3866Turning with a bewildered look towards Madame de Maintenon,"My Aunt,"quoth she to her,"have I said something foolish?"
3866Will it be believed that it was necessary to put all this machinery in motion?
3866and advancing warmly toward him, I added,"How glad I am to see you at last delivered; how did you bring this to pass?"
3866what do you think I ought to do?"
3874You are all powerful,said he;"everybody bends before you; nobody resists you; what are the greatest people in the land compared with you?
3874A cough, the least movement, the slightest accident, might have betrayed the foolhardy Puyguilhem, and then what would have become of him?
3874And with children by this marriage, what a flight might not Lauzun have taken, and who can say where he might have arrived?
3874In fact, what had I to discuss with a Regent who was no longer one, not even over himself, still less over a realm plunged in disorder?
3874Seeing me alone, he screamed rather than asked,"Where is M. le Duc d''Orleans?"
3874What do you think of it, Monsieur?"
3874Who can hinder you?
3865And if so,interrupted the King all on a sudden, with anger,"what is that to me?
3865How, suffered?
3865Is it possible, my nephew?
3865Madame,said he, smiling, as he arrived,"how would you do just now to get to Lille?"
3865Pardon me,replied D''Antin;"you do not recollect, then, that I have an answer to make to you?"
3865Are the not all equally my grandchildren?"
3865But how could they have done so, without being requested, as was customary, to come forward?
3865Had the Superior any message to send?
3865Has she not already a son; and if he should die, is not the Duc de Berry old enough to marry and have one?
3865Towards the end of the campaign, Gamaches, exasperated with their conduct, exclaimed to them in the presence of everybody:"Is this a wager?
3865What matters it to the who succeeds me,--the one or the other?
3865What would the king have thought of them if they had?
3865With such a guarantee from a man in such favour at Court, who could doubt?
3857Well, Monsieur,said she,"what would you have him do?
3857What shall I say to him?
3857Who are you, mask?
3857Can you say so much for your own?"
3857Have I not consented to share Madame de Nesle''s favours with him whenever he chooses?"
3857I console him as well as I can; but why should I tease my son about the business?
3857I replied,"I congratulate you upon it; but has this taken place today?
3857If a Duchess can do this, what will not other ladies do?
3857Is not this a becoming jest for such serious personages?
3857The Prince de Conti said to Mr. Law,"Do you know who I am?"
3857The Princess interrupted him:"What do you mean with your ah''s?"
3857The latter person is reported to have said,"Why does the Duke complain?
3857The valet said to him,"Monsieur, what do you do in this room, and why do you touch Madame''s cup?"
3857Then addressing himself to Villequier, he said,"And you, Villequier, do n''t you think you are so?"
3857What would people have to say of him if he did not?"
3857what are you doing?
3862And my brother,said the King,"did he know of this?"
3862And whose is it, then?
3862Is it mine?
3862Is this a moment to consider whether your daughter is well married or not?
3862What do you mean?
3862What is the matter, Sire?
3862Why, I beg you will tell me if we have two Kings in France?
3862Do you not know the good little Pere du Trevoux, who is speaking to you?"
3862It was a great question, whether the State gained or lost most by his death?
3862M. Fagon, my brother is dead?"
3862When the said confessor came back, he cried,"Monsieur, do you not know your confessor?
3862Who was astonished to hear this straightforward language?
3862he exclaimed, embracing the King''s thighs,"what will become of me?
10403And how much is he paying you?
10403Café noir ou café au lait?
10403What would Monsieur take? 10403 _ Garsong poorquar_ do n''t you fetch some bread when I''ve asked three times for it?"
10403And yet, what does a day here or there make to you?
10403As it neighed at the same time, perhaps it was asking,"Who''s my driver?"
10403Can not help where you fall, Caring not if you swell to a huge size: Minding not how you rush, What you break, whom you crush?
10403Did I ill use thee?
10403Do I like being a shepherd, sir, roaming the hills, Just earning enough to buy bread?
10403Do you love forest- trees?
10403Have I always looked after the sheep, sir?
10403I''ll class them as one: Now what do you say for the whole forty lots?
10403It is celebrated for its salt springs; and Bayonne hams are said to owe their fine(?)
10403Men of Garlic-- large your numbers, Long indeed your conscience slumbers, Ca n''t you change and eat cu- cumbers?
10403No advance?
10403No advance?
10403No bidding?
10403No one will buy them?
10403No porter would bestir himself to find this great official, but whichever way I turned one was always ready with his"Où allez- vous, Monsieur?"
10403Not a little one?
10403Not one?
10403Now is it not sad to have once been so grand, And now to be shattered and old?
10403One candle?
10403Or love you more the breeze?
10403Some candles?
10403Something is gain''d at last, But you are melting fast, Why does the cruel sun put you to stew?
10403Tell me what bird you think most sweetly sings?
10403Tell me, O long- lain snow, What of the vale below?
10403The finest of course?
10403The first lot then, gents; shall we say fifteen francs?
10403The weather, sir; will it be wet?
10403Then what?
10403To look but a ruin up here, where I stand Decidedly out in the cold?
10403Was I wounded, sir?
10403Was this a new fashion of rearing mushrooms, or a native invention for the propagation of aprons?
10403Was this plateau really worth seeing; and if so, when was it best to start?
10403We were once asked,"Are not the Pyrenees very bare mountains, without any trees or herbage?"
10403What do you think about people and things?
10403What more could an invalid desire?
10403What?
10403Whenever the price was the object of our inquiry, he began in the following strain:"Very good, very good; which does Monsieur like?
10403Who said that thou were old?
10403Who told you to cut this wood?"
10403Why what shall I do To oblige you?
10403Will I drink your good health, sir?
10403Will you please to walk up?
10403You think to mock me, do you?
10403You''ve no heart at all?
10403[ Footnote: Did she ever have the chance?]
10403[ Illustration: SCENE 3.--WHO''S MY DRIVER?]
10403are they fishing where fierce billows foam?"
10403sil voo plate_, where are those potatoes?"
10403tell me, I beg, what''s your pleasure to- day?
10403their_ kind_ advice was_ wrong._ Who said I''d gladly give thee up?
10403what on earth must poor shopkeepers do?
10403which does Ma''m''selle prefer?
10403why should they?
14233At what time is the post due here in Auray?
14233But with what?
14233By whom?
14233Is this,he demanded,"the instrument with which the assault was committed?
14233Where''s the murderer?
14233Why?
14233You were not present, Monsieur le commissaire?
14233And are they not completed by death?
14233And charming ones, too, perhaps,--why not?
14233And did the rake belong to him or to some one else?
14233And how many draughts of it did it take for you to acquire all this wonderful knowledge?
14233And, indeed, what is there on which much can not be said?
14233Are n''t the saucepans like polished suns?
14233Are they a confused recollection of the monsters that existed before the flood?
14233As great as space appears to our eye, does it not always seem limited as soon as we know that it has a boundary?
14233But how can they?
14233But is the new as good as the old?
14233But what is, in fact, bad taste?
14233But where did the dragons come from?
14233But who cares about them?
14233But why bother about these things?
14233But, say others, do not his mission and his glory consist in going forward and attacking the work of God, and encroaching upon it?
14233By what magic will they be able to do so?
14233Do they know that we have cities and steeples and triumphal arches?
14233Do they wish to lodge a complaint?
14233Do you prefer Tom Thumb or the Museum of Versailles?
14233Does not this phrase of Fénelon apply wonderfully well to that period:"A sight well calculated to delight the eye?"
14233Has n''t this man had enough of slavery himself?
14233How many dreams have been dreamed beneath it?
14233How many nightmares have galloped under this cap?
14233Indeed, do not monuments grow greater through recollection, like men and like passions?
14233Is it not here that our own grief was nourished, is this not the very Golgotha where the genius that fed us suffered its anguish?
14233Is it not, then, their modesty that appeals to us?
14233Is not asceticism superior epicureanism, fasting, refined gormandising?
14233Is she dead to the world, and will men never see her again?
14233Jérôme, are you sure it is?"
14233Moreover, has it not been said that all the pleasure in these things was only imagination?
14233One is astonished at the way these people cling to their belief; but does one know the pleasure and voluptuousness they derive from it?
14233Or was it, I repeat, with a blunt instrument?
14233The oath?
14233Was it a temple?
14233Was it really with this that these women were hurt?
14233Was not the type of the old soldiers whose race disappeared around 1598, at the taking of Vervins, fine and terrible?
14233What are you regretting?
14233What do you think about it, Monsieur le commissaire?"
14233What has he ever been able to learn about them in the salons; could he see through the corset and the crinoline?
14233What is wanted nowadays is rather the opposite of nudity, simplicity and truth?
14233What was their use?
14233When do they open?
14233Where are the inhabitants?
14233Where can she be?
14233Where could the poor fellow ever have seen any?
14233Where is the poet, nowadays, even amongst the most brilliant, who knows what a woman is like?
14233Who has said:"Life is a hostelry, and the grave is our home?"
14233Who is the assailant?
14233Why does he torment this poor little beast?
14233Would their attitudes be more dejected, their eyes sadder or their prayers more pitiful?
14233where are you leading Father Mahé, canon of Vannes and correspondent of the Academy of Agriculture at Poitiers?
3878''But the policy of State?'' 3878 ''Is that above religion?''
3878What,asked I,"can it be which makes the people so outrageous against the Queen?"
3878--''What, then, he is risen?''
3878--''Whom do you mean?''
3850Are you in holy orders?
3850Be careful,cried the King;"do n''t you see that your ladder is a short one and is on castors?
3850Messieurs,said he to them,"when you went away you were three in number; what have you done with your comrade?"
3850Of course I do,was my answer;"but may one not love oneself just a little bit, too?
3850Of what crime is your master guilty? 3850 She is dead, but the Emperor would easily recognise you, would he not?"
3850What are you worrying about?
3850Where are the two children of his marriage?
3850Why do you insult me thus?
3850--and that it is to her exquisite breeding that we owe compliments of this kind?"
3850Does it add to his dignity, honour, and glory that you should still be merely a petty marquise?
3850I ask again, what is the King thinking of?"
3850Now, will you please me by going back to Paris?
3850Or must you spend the autumn in this gloomy abode of your ancestors?
3850Then the King smiled, and said to the young Flemish lady:"Who are you?
3850What is the King thinking about?
3850What is this you tell me?"
3850What is your name?"
3850When the King had amused himself with examining these trinkets, he turned to the antiquary and said,"Is that all, sir?
3850Why, where is Charon''s flask of wine?"
3853And why do you busy yourself with these discussions, with which your great talent has no concern?
3853And you advise me--?
3853Do you give me your word?
3853Do you think so, monsieur?
3853Do you think so?
3853Is it thus you speak of the King, our master,--of a King who has affection for you, and has proved it to: you so many times?
3853Well,said I to him then,"what have you to complain of in the new edicts and decrees?
3853By striking to- day dissolution and death into the first abbey of your kingdom, do you not fear to leave behind you a great and sinister precedent?
3853Could those two letters have been sent to me by the King himself?"
3853Do you go back upon what you promised to your brother?"
3853Does not, then, the humiliation which I have suffered for two years any longer satisfy your aversion?"
3853Is my little miniature near completion?"
3853The family of Le Tellier is good enough for a judicial and legal family; but what bonds are there between the Louvois and the Mortemart?
3853Was it my name, or a contest as to the talent of the actress, which caused this commotion?
3853What is it you tell me?
3853What sudden cause, what urgent motive, can determine you to exclude me?
3853Where will you find a King more tenderly attached to men of merit, more particularly, to my dear and illustrious Petitot?"
3853Where will you find a sky so pure and soft as the sky of France?
3853Why do you delay to satisfy him, and to withdraw from so many eyes which watch you with pity?"
3853cried the prince, in consternation,"is your resolution no longer the same?
3853is there hatred and discord already amongst my children?"
3895Is not the character, the honour, and the tranquillity of a citizen preferable to his treasures?
3895Jourdan, Lasnes, Mortier, Bessieres, St. Cyr, are you also forsaking your friend and benefactor?"
3895The instant he had read it, he flew into the arms of Berthier, exclaiming:"My friend, I am betrayed; are you among the number of conspirators?
16910If Englishmen may revolt against oppression, why may not Frenchmen?
16910If it is cowardly to submit to tyranny in America, what is it in France?
16910No government without the consent of the governed?--When has our consent been asked, the consent of twenty- five million people? 16910 An art which England had been centuries in learning, how could France be expected to master in a decade? 16910 And Charles, sitting upon the throne she had rescued for him, what was he doing to save her? 16910 And had he not always a Mordecai at his gate-- while the_ Faubourg St. Germain_ stood aloof and disdainful, smiling at his brand- new aristocracy? 16910 And theGentle King,"where was he while this was happening?
16910And was not Austria the leader of the coalition against France?
16910And was this not a triumph for the revolutionary principle which offset the existence of an empire, as its final result?
16910And where was"his Majesty"while this work was being done?
16910Are we sheep, that we have let a few thousands govern us for a thousand years, without our consent?"
16910As one after another of the cities helplessly fell, someone asked why Louis came himself-- why he did not send his valet?
16910But how could he tax a people crying at his gates for bread?
16910But what could he do?
16910But what if he ceased to be ornamental?
16910But what if they should refuse?
16910But where was his knighthood, where his manhood, that he did not try, or utter passionate protest against her fate?
16910Can the mind conceive of human circumstances more lowly?
16910Could any scales weigh, could any words measure the suffering which must have been endured?
16910Could the upper ranks fall lower than this?
16910Could they ever wipe out the stain which had made them odious in the sight of Christendom?
16910Did Madame du Barry think of it?
16910Did she exult at her triumph over de Pompadour, when she was dragged shrieking and struggling to the guillotine?
16910Did she think to slay the monster devouring Paris by cutting off one of his heads?
16910Did they recall this time?
16910Did they think they could guide the whirlwind after raising it?
16910Had not the kingdom reached its lowest depths, where its foreign policy was determined by the amount of consideration shown to Madame de Pompadour?
16910Had she been, not set free, but simply annexed to the realm of the barbarian across the Rhine?
16910Had she exchanged one servitude for another?
16910How could sensuality and vice at Rome be reconciled with a divine infallibility?
16910How was it in Germany?
16910How was it with Catharine?
16910If the ballad- poetry of Provence satirized the lives and manners of the priests, was it not dealing with what was true?
16910Is it strange that, with every aspiration thwarted, hope stifled, Europe sank into the long sleep of the Middle Ages?
16910Napoleon had captured not alone Italy, but France herself?
16910Of all miracles, is not this the greatest?
16910Private interests sacrificed or forgotten, life, treasure, all eagerly given, for what?
16910That thrones, empires, principalities, and powers would melt and crumble before His name?
16910Then why was there no mention of him as one of that martyred group?
16910They had rescued them from one terrible fate, might they not deliver them from another?
16910This hero of Marengo, and Austerlitz, and Jena, and Wagram, the man before whom Europe trembled, was he not, after all, only a crowned citizen?
16910Was any human event ever fraught with such consequences to the human race as the conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar?
16910Was there not, after all, a certain irritating reserve in the homage paid him?
16910Was this not an embodiment of their dreams?
16910Was this the equality they expected when they cried,"Down with the Aristocrats"?
16910Was this wasting away the result of a drug?
16910What could be expected of a woman with the blood of the Guises in her veins, and with Catharine de''Medici as her model and teacher?
16910What might she not accomplish with such a leader?
16910What should they do with this strange being, claiming supernatural powers?
16910What would they build upon the ruins of their ancient despotism?
16910What would they do with it?
16910Where were the pale- faced, determined patriots who sat in the National Assembly?
16910Where would he find chains more galling, more unnatural, than in Italy, held by the iron hand of Austria?
16910Whether Fredegunde or Brunhilde was the more terrible who can say?
16910Whether the conversion of the Bourbon prince was of that nature or not, who can say?
16910Who would have dreamed that this was the germ of the most potent, the most regenerative force the world had ever known?
16910Why had Henry of Navarre been spared?
16910Why should the simple- hearted Louis see what no one else seemed to see: that victory or failure was alike full of peril for France?
16910Would they ever be forgiven for disgracing the name of Liberty?
16910the one could be made with pen and paper; but by what miracle could he produce the other?
16910was there not a touch of condescension in the friendship of his royal neighbors?
3894Do you not see,answered Bonaparte,"that it is also one of the extraordinary gifts of my extraordinary good fortune?
3894Is he, then, not to be a grand pensionary for life?
3894Cloud as served in his own capital?
3894What treasures can indemnify me for connecting such a name and such a personage with the great name of the First Emperor of the French?"
3879''But how will you be able to contrive this without its being known to the King, or to the Comte de Vergennes, who would never forgive me?'' 3879 ''But wo n''t the Minister banish or exile him for it?'' 3879 And was not her rapture natural? 3879 Had he been aware of it, could he have refused to dance for his most bounteous benefactress? 3879 No, my dear,''resumed the good and tender- hearted Duc de Penthievre,''I mean, would you have any objection to become his wife?'' 3879 The Emperor answered Her Majesty in German,''What heat can you expect from the hand of one whose heart resides with the dead?'' 3879 against her husband, the Duke of Modena, for not having consummated her own marriage? 3879 what widow, what orphan, what suffering or oppressed petitioner am I to thank for this visit? 27881 And is_ that_ all, Zelphine, and do n''t you think it about time that they should learn better; and who is the_ he_ in question, anyhow?"
27881And pray who is this M. La Tour that you are all quoting? 27881 And what have we done to deserve such an opinion?"
27881And where did you come across them?
27881And why did Louis, the Father of his people, the good King Louis, imprison Ludovico all those years?
27881Are they crows''nests?
27881But how do they manage to sleep with the ghosts of all these good men who have been murdered here haunting the place at night?
27881Chenonceaux being Diane''s château and this her own room, what more natural than that her cipher should be here, as Rousseau says? 27881 Do n''t be_ too_ comforting, Walter, and why did n''t you tell me before that M. La Tour could not go with us to- morrow?"
27881Gentle Dauphin,she said to him one day,"Why do you not believe me?
27881How could I help asking him,this in Walter''s most persuasive tone,"when he has taken the trouble to come over here to dine with us?
27881How is Archie ever going to find out whether Lydia cares for him, Zelphine?
27881Pourquoi lui avez- vous coupé la gorge?
27881Then why have you added to Archie''s troubles by urging M. La Tour to go with us to- morrow?
27881Well, and even if she had been more than ordinarily nice to La Tour why do you trouble yourself about it, Zelphine? 27881 What became of her after Catherine turned her out of her château?"
27881What does it all mean?
27881What have we to do with St. Peter and his body? 27881 What is the little black- eyed woman talking about?"
27881Where the deuce does the fellow get them?
27881Why did you kill the Emperor Maximilian?
27881Why not tell him yourself, Zelphine? 27881 Why_ my_ friend?"
27881Yes, of course, how could I forget that evening? 27881 [ B]"And does he bring his family with him?"
27881And darest thou then To beard the lion in his den, The Douglas in his hall?
27881And hopest thou hence unscathed to go?
27881And what do you think that heartless Lydia said between her laughter and her sobs?
27881Angela immediately looked up trains and finding that the next train would be one hour too late for the boat, what do you think she did?
27881At first he looked perplexed and then indignantly turned to us for an explanation:"What ailed the lady, and why was she displeased?
27881Can you imagine anything more picturesque, or, as Miss Cassandra says, anything more unhealthy?
27881Did he kill the beasts with his big stick?"
27881Did you ever hear of anything so delicious?
27881Do n''t you think so yourself, Miss Cassandra?"
27881Do you remember how Angela and the Doctor trotted off to see the ruins at Exeter by moonlight?"
27881Do you remember what he said about having a tree planted over his grave?
27881Do you wonder that Lisa calls this a fairy journey?
27881Have you seen Chaumont, which she so unwillingly received in exchange?
27881I can hear you say,"Why not take them to Tours, for the French there?"
27881If her means were equal to her charitable intent, what would she not do for the benefit of mankind in all quarters of the globe?
27881It is quite evident that Brantôme''s eyes were bedazzled by the glitter of royalty, or was it the glitter of royal gold?
27881Not even when Miss Cassandra asked her favorite question in royal palaces,"How many in family?"
27881Now what is it to pass away, is it not to die, to vanish from the earth?"
27881Philippe is my name; why not Philippe?"
27881Polly has learned some English phrases from the numerous guests of the house, and cordially greets us with"Good- by"when we enter and"How do you do?"
27881Pourquoi avez- vous tué l''Empereur Maximilian?"
27881Walter calls it a piece of American effrontery, but I call it quickwitted, do n''t you?
27881We asked"Why?"
27881What did the good priest do when he landed on the island?
27881What do you think we have been doing this evening?
27881When she exclaimed with fervor,"Have you ever seen any one to be compared with the King?"
27881Why do many of the people, who do the châteaux so conscientiously, skip Angers?"
27881Why do n''t you and Mr. Leonard come too?"
27881You remember that her only reply was,''Is the King yet dead?''
27881no, we do n''t spoil sport; do we, Zelphine?"
3885--"By what right,"said Cardinal de la Roche- Aymon, a complaisant courtier with whom the Bishop was at daggers drawn,"do you instruct me?"
3885Does all this military display become a young Queen adored by her subjects?"
3885Is it some general going to inspect his army?
3885It was easy to detect the different motives which induced them every moment to repeat to every one the question:"How is the King?"
3885What fate is reserved for the Comtesse du Barry?
3885What influence will the royal aunts have,--and the Queen?
3885Whom will the young King choose for his ministers?
3885Will it be credited that the plans laid against Marie Antoinette went so far as divorce?
3855By the left hand?
3855Is it possible,I said,"with so much sense and courage as you possess that you will suffer this old hag to frighten you thus?
3855What Duke?
3855What fool let you enter?
3855Which of them?
3855Yes,he rejoined,"but do you not know that God has, by way, of punishing the devil, doomed him to exist a certain number of years in that ugly body?"
3855--took me aside and said to me,"Did you know what M. de Strasbourg has been saying?
3855A few minutes afterwards the Bishop said to me,"Did your Royal Highness hear what the Queen said to me?
3855For whom should I care?
3855He smiled and said,"What have you to ask, then?"
3855I replied,"If a person should have intrigued assiduously to become Madame, could not her son permit her to enjoy that rank peaceably?
3855Monsieur often said to me,"How does it happen that Madame de Fiennes never says anything severe of you?"
3855On my entering the room she said to me,"Madame, what do you come here for?"
3855Seeing only the Prince of Orange, I accosted him thus,--"Pray, tell me who is that woman with so tremendous a nose?"
3855She said to me,"How is it, Madame, that you never look in a mirror when you pass it, as everybody else does?"
3855The Dauphins of Bavaria used to say,"My poor dear mamma"( so she used always to address me),"where do you pick up all the funny things you know?"
3855The King immediately sent for him and said"How is this, nephew?
3855The surgeon who blooded her said,"Have you considered this well, Sir?
3855They then came to me and wanted me to intercede for them; but I said,"Why did you not take my advice?"
3855What could the King do against the inclinations of his son and his granddaughter?
3855What, then, would have become of me if I had chosen to retire to Montargis?
3855Why should I torment myself by day and by night?
3855he would say,"must I, to please everybody, say as many silly things as my brother?"
3872And who the devil is he who will dare to do so?
3872Very good,replied he,"and why do you wish I should go-- what madness is this?"
3872Well, who?
3872Would you like to know?
3872( After some dispute)"You obstinately desire then to know?
3872But when the Regent announced this, who did he suppose would credit it?
3872The next question was, from whom Dubois was to receive holy orders?
3872Thereupon M. le Duc said to the Regent,"But, Monsieur, why, knowing this, did you allow him to leave the realm?"
3872Who could believe that Law would have had the hardihood to issue notes at this rate without the sanction and approbation of his master?
3872Who could have guessed that he would not keep his word?
3872You say M. de Saint- Simon is quite right, why then should I go?"
3872replied the Abbe,"and does the matter rest only upon that?"
3868What has happened?
3868Why do you ask?
3868Are these princes made like other human beings?
3868But, my sister, what shall we do?"
3868How could he defend himself?
3868I saw distinctly the confusion of M. le Duc de Berry, and sweated at it; but what could be done?
3868In my extreme surprise I asked him, what he expected would be the fruit of such violence?
3868Is it not null as soon as it is unjust?
3868She could not exist without meddling, and what is there for a superannuated woman to meddle with at Genoa?
3868This studied negligence was of bad augury, but who would have imagined treatment so strange and so unheard of?
3868Will the Ultramontanes admit the nullity of the excommunication?
3868how interfere with their dark designs?
3868replied the Abbe, in a tone of sadness,"where have I been?
3868replied the Cardinal;"why, who has any teeth?"
3868shut up as the King was, how oppose them?
3852''And me, madame,''said the prince,''would you consent to make me young again?'' 3852 ''Why do you care to give me this green paste?''
3852And you, too,replied his Majesty;"are you any the more sober for that?
3852But your Madame de Maintenon,he resumed,"is she, too, one of the powers?
3852Does she believe me hostile to your prosperity, my dear Marquise?
3852Had you not parks and chateaus enough? 3852 I have always treated you with gentleness and consideration; whence proceeds your hate against me of to- day?
3852What became of you on leaving the King?
3852What business is it of mine,I asked with vivacity,"to teach M. de Lauzun how to behave?
3852What is she thinking of at her age; with her pretensions to a fine figure, an ethereal carriage, and beauty? 3852 What must I do, then, to be loved?
3852What need has she of so many preliminary cautions,added the Marquise,"if it is to you that she desires to sell it?
3852Would you have me, when he comes to me, bid him go elsewhere, to you or somebody else, it matters not?
3852An absolute retreat?
3852And the other said to her:"Madame de Maintenon?
3852Are you in holy orders?"
3852Does she wish you, then, to resign your office?
3852How should she tolerate yours?
3852Is it true that Madame de Montespan is no longer your friend?
3852Is your young heart capable of it?
3852NINON DE L''ENCLOS.--A departure?
3852One day, of his own accord, he said to me:"How do you get on with Madame de Maintenon?
3852The time for mass being come, Madame de Maintenon said to the fair Epicurean, with a smile:"You are one of us, are you not?
3852Then to me,"You wish to sell your office without having first assured yourself whether it be pleasing to the King?
3852What need have you to quarrel with Madame de Maintenon over a look, a word, a movement or a gesture?
3852What would be the use of memoirs from which sincerity were absent?
3852Whom could they inspire with a desire of reading them?
3852Will you be sufficiently light- hearted, or sufficiently imprudent, to await on a counterscarp the rigours of December and January?

34071No government without the consent of the governed, eh? 34071 And Charles, sitting upon the throne she had rescued for him, what was he doing to save her? 34071 And had he not always a Mordecai at his gate-- while the_ Faubourg St. Germain_"stood aloof and disdainful, smiling at his brand- new aristocracy?

34071Was this not an embodiment of their dreams?
34071Was this the equality they expected when they cried"Down with the Aristocrats"?
34071What sort of a ruler would he be-- this dark, mysterious, unmagnetic man?
34071What would they do with it?

34071When has our consent been asked, the consent of twenty- five million people?
34071When?

3858But,I asked her,"how do you like getting up and going to church in the middle of the night?"
3858Sire,cried the lady, terrified to death,"what are you doing?"
3858What is the matter with you?
3858Who are you?
3858Why are you going to bed here, sir?
3858--"But, sir,"said some one present,"is it possible that a saint could be a sharper at play?"
3858--"Sire,"rejoined the Duke,"do you know everybody says I am very much like you, and quite as good- looking as you are?"
3858After it was made up she put it on, and, showing it to her husband, said,"Do not you think it is very beautiful?"
3858But,"he said, turning himself slowly round,"who is the fool that asked me this question?"
3858He one day said to Lord Douglas,"What should I do to gain the good- will of my countrymen?"
3858He said to the former,"Why do you not go below and dance?"
3858He smiled and said,"If I should die, shall I not have lived long enough?"
3858I asked him what he proposed to do in France?
3858One day a young Frenchman asked him,"How happened it that you lost the battle?"
3858She replied,"Do people, then, in this country take no care of their servants?"
3858The first question in the Heidelberg catechism is this:"What is thy only consolation in life and in death?"
3858The lady called out,"Who is there?"
3858The latter said,"Did he ever speak to you tenderly or passionately?"
3858The poor gentleman was quite horror- stricken, and started back, crying,"For Heaven''s sake, madame, what are you going to do?"
3858When he was requested to take any one into his service, his first question was,"Is he lucky?"
3858When the marriage of Monsieur was declared, he said to Saint- Remi,"Did you know that I was married to the Princesse de Lorraine?"
3858cried he,"M. de Geneve, my old friend?
3858said his valet de chambre;"do you not mean to go to your wife?"
3858what have I done to you, that you should wake me so early?"
41914He cries,"Does one go to bed to be kept awake?"
41914His only answer was the philosophic question,"How can I_ prove_ that I am not the gate of Hell?"
3897And do you believe it improbable that the present disagreement between America and Spain is kept up by our intrigues and by our future views?
3897What miserable pride, ye foolish kings, Still your deluded reason thus misleads?

2578Are you not aware that what was called a Seigneur was simply an unpunished usurper?
2578Besides this, they begin to disentangle the causes of their misery: the King is good-- why then do his collectors take so much of our money?
2578Besides, can there be any hesitation in having recourse to the people in the people''s own cause?
2578Besides, how without an army is this post to be wrested from the hands which hold it?
2578Do we find anything of all this in the Constituent Assembly?
2578Does not the law command all citizens to preserve the public peace?
2578Has it not all the titles for this office?
2578How is the city going to pay for its watch, the lighting and cleaning of its streets, and the support of its hospitals?

27289But why expose yourself thus? 27289 Did you know my hussars nearly captured you?"
27289How does your Majesty pass the time at Memel?
27289Is Joseph,the Emperor said, in an interview with Roederer,"to talk like an Englishman or behave like Talleyrand?
27289Leave Holland to the enemy? 27289 May not the peace of Tilsit, which I made, carry some obligations with it?"
27289Not a gun? 27289 Shall we talk of rags at such a solemn moment?"
27289Very well; but which would esteem you the highest?
27289What does your Majesty read?
27289What was I to do?
27289Which of your works do you prefer?
27289Yes, I understand; but which one would be for you the foremost among women?
27289("Quelle femme?"
27289Alexander had said at the outset that his prejudice against Napoleon disappeared at first sight, and later he exclaimed,"Why did we not meet sooner?"
27289And what was his conduct?
27289But Prussia?
27289But had Russia learned nothing from these two experiences, and would she come on again a third time as on those two occasions to certain defeat?
27289But how about the efficiency and zeal of men and officers?
27289But was this in reality the only outlet for the French empire to the East?
27289Could the Czar apologize for such a deed?
27289Did they mean to put him in a convent and whip him like Louis the Pious?
27289For his purposes he must ask, Whence can I best strike?
27289Had the abdication been a free act or not?
27289Had the true, complex Napoleon in his supposed communing asked the question, What then?
27289He did not ask, How will my foe behave?
27289How did Napoleon win victories?
27289How did he regulate his inner life?
27289How did he rule men?
27289How much longer, Alexander must have asked himself, could this state of things continue?
27289If you should continue to see her, would it not be well to have the woman allow her husband one thousand or one thousand two hundred francs a month?
27289In despair she blurted out,"General, what woman could you love the most?"
27289Is it wonderful that under such provocation Napoleon''s hot Corsican blood boiled over, or that his unruly tongue uttered startling language?
27289Nominate a new king?"
27289Not a prisoner?"
27289On April twenty- fifth the latter wrote to Talleyrand:"Was I to send my soldiers so lightly into Sweden?
27289Should he accede to Ferdinand''s desire, formally communicated in a letter sent by Escoiquiz on October twelfth?
27289Should he advance or await a further movement of the enemy?
27289The natural question, Why?
27289Then Napoleon asked the stock query which he so often put to scholars and men of letters:"Which has been the happiest age of humanity?"
27289Was he to be left to his fate?
27289Was he, he said in fierce disappointment, to be compelled to adopt his bastard children?
27289Was the ancient monarchy really to be humiliated and remain permanently dismembered?
27289Was the vast structure he had so laboriously erected now to fall in one crash at his feet?
27289We may reach Vilna-- can we maintain ourselves there?
27289What must I not have said to you?
27289What must be the necessary result if the continental embargo were more thoroughly enforced?
27289What reproaches could she not have heaped on me?
27289What safety was there for the army in retreat?
27289What was to be done?
27289What were his family relations?
27289Where best could they employ them?
27289Where would we have been if I had not spoken of it to my mother?
27289Who can measure the fascination under which the young enthusiast fell at first sight?
27289Whom would he choose?
27289Why did you not wait for me at Weimar?"
27289Why was he now so firm?
27289Why,"he concluded,"has anything been said about the difference in religion, when at the outset the Emperor declared it would be no obstacle?"
27289Would the Czar make a separate peace?
27289Yes, peace; but of what kind?
27289no results from such carnage?"
3898But, you may ask, why do they not go back again to Germany?
3898What would you think, were you to awake one morning the subject of King Arthur O''Connor the First?
3898Who would have dared to say that the Prussian Eagle and the Spanish Golden Fleece should thus be prostituted, thus polluted?
3898what shall I do to prevent my poor Madame Hus from being shot as an emigrant, and my poor children from becoming prematurely orphans?"
3892How dare you suppose differently from our commands? 3892 Are there not starving nobles in my empire enough to furnish all the Courts in Europe with attendants, courtiers, and valets? 3892 Do you not believe that with a nod, with a single nod, I might have them all prostrated before my throne? 3892 Do you not see the immense difference between the Sovereign Monarch of an Empire, and the citizen chief magistrate of a commonwealth? 3892 Is the Emperor of the Great Nation not to be encompassed with a more numerous retinue, or with more lustre, than a First Consul? 3892 The licentiousness of the Press, with regard to religious matters, does it not also furnish infidelity with new arms to injure the faith? 3892 What can, then, have occasioned this impertinent delay?
3892to deserve such treatment?"
11600Albert,murmured the weak young monarch,"in the name of Heaven, what would you ask?"
11600Am I to die mocked as I have lived? 11600 And Bassompierre?"
11600And how?
11600And my people?
11600And the Marquis d''Ancre?
11600But-- should he resist, Sire?
11600Did the Duc de Guise honour your festival with his presence? 11600 Do I not wear the crown of France?"
11600Do you not yet understand how you are to earn your_ bâton_?
11600Have_ you_ also forgotten that I am the son of Henri IV?
11600Is it come to this?
11600What has occurred?
11600What is my alternative, Albert?
11600What is the meaning of your manner, gentlemen?
11600What is to be done?
11600What mean you?
11600Where is he?
11600Where shall I find an individual hardy enough to undertake such an enterprise?
11600You are called a King, but where are your great nobles? 11600 A sovereign without a will, a king without a throne, a monarch without a crown? 11600 And if so, breathes there one who would have roused her, whatever may have been her faults, from such a slumber? 11600 And what might be his fate? 11600 Can you depend on those by whom you are accompanied?
11600Can you not offer him a royal recompense?
11600Did she sleep the weary and outworn sleep of the wretched while those sweet and soothing visions were still busy at her heart?
11600Did you counsel this violation of all the solemn promises which have been made to me?"
11600Did you hear those words, Countess?"
11600Do you desire to know how I respond?
11600Do you hold words less acceptable than blows?
11600Do you prefer the sword to the hand of friendship?
11600Has De Brantès announced the speedy arrival of my sparrow- hawks?"
11600Has not every outbreak of unprovoked disaffection rather tended to exhibit the forbearance of the King my son and my own?
11600Have I not compelled respect where I have failed to secure amity?
11600Have I not then, gentlemen, consulted in all things the honour of France, and increased her power?
11600Is De Guise recovering from his wound?
11600Is it then a perpetual revolt upon which you have determined?
11600Look to England-- is there no sterner lesson to be learnt there?
11600Need I recall the concessions which we have made to those who had sought to injure us?
11600Or think you that Marie de Medicis fears to emulate Elizabeth?
11600Sire,"exclaimed Bassompierre,"will you never cease to pain us by these constant allusions to your approaching death?
11600The tool of needy adventurers and intriguing women?
11600Upon what will they next venture?"
11600What can you require beyond this, and what more do you wish?"
11600What do you decide?
11600What fate can be more enviable than your own?
11600What more can they require at my hands than what I have already bestowed?
11600What more then could you require or demand, gentlemen?
11600When pardon and peace are frankly offered to you, and when both should be as welcome to all good Frenchmen as a calm after a tempest, you reject it?
11600Who shall dare, unrebuked, to assert that the ambition of the woman quenched the affection of the wife?
11600Who, then, shall venture to follow her through the reveries of that fatal night?
11600Will you continue to suffer this presumption to degrade you in the eyes of your people, and to undermine your authority over your barons?
11600[ 274]"What is to be done then, if the Italian refuses to quit France?
11600[ 50] exclaimed the Queen;"is the frown of a wayward boy more dangerous than the displeasure of a mother?
11600d''Epernon?"
11600demanded the Queen- mother abruptly;"did he at least partake of your splendid hospitality?"
11600echoed Caterina;"and by whom?"
11600exclaimed Louis in an agitated voice;"do you mean that he is dead?"
11600or that Marie, in the excess of her self- gratulation, forgot the price at which her delegated greatness had been purchased?
11600shouted Concini, showing himself at the door of the carriage;"do you know who I am?"
11600the victim of treachery and murder?"
11600where are the officers of your household?
11600where are your barons?
19983And Monsieur le Marquis?
19983Boat, sir, boat?
19983Coach, sir, coach?
19983Do you know that lady?
19983Do you not think the Signorina exceedingly like Madame Pasta?
19983Do you see Mademoiselle----, dancing in the set before you?
19983Désirée, où est Désirée?
19983Est- ce que monsieur compte me présenter tout ceci?
19983Go and see what?
19983How do you address this lady-- as Her Highness?
19983How do you make that out, Sir William?
19983How long do you mean to be absent?
19983I hope you have breakfasted?
19983Is America anywhere near Van Diemen''s Land?
19983It is, indeed; what is your fare?
19983London, sir, London?
19983Savez- vous, mon ami, où est l''Hôtel d''Angleterre?
19983Then why not adopt it?
19983Were is Désirée?
19983What do you think I_ ought_ to get for carrying this load,''sqire?
19983Where?
19983Why does she not bear his name, if that be the case?
19983You get notes occasionally from the lady, or you could not read her scrawl so readily?
19983_ N''est- ce pas_?
19983---- que j''ai l''honneur de voir?"
19983After a moment''s delay the door was cautiously opened, and the captain, in his gruffest tone, demanded,"Cur vully voo?"
19983After asking me a few questions concerning the country, he very coolly continued--"Et combien de temps avez- vous passé en Amérique, monsieur?"
19983As we were walking together, arm and arm, my companion suddenly placed a hand behind him, and said,"My fine fellow, you are there, are you?"
19983But did I not condemn the want of historical truth in its pictures?
19983But what is all this compared to the constant accessions of Europeans among ourselves?
19983Can your experience suggest anything more?
19983Did I not think he had done gross injustice to the noble and useful order of the Templars?
19983Does this augur good or evil, for the world?
19983He clearly does not love us; but what Englishman does?
19983He related the story of M. Cloquet and the cancer, with great unction, and asked me what I thought of that?
19983He who is all attention and smiles to the lady?"
19983How is it with you?"
19983How know we that such is not the origin of comets?
19983I get no privileges by my birth; whereas, in England, where I have been, it is so different-- And I dare say it is different in America, too?"
19983If any prince should inquire,--"Who is this that approaches me, clad so simply that I may mistake him for a butler, or a groom of the chambers?"
19983If these views are correct, why may not an English writer secure a right in this country, by selling it in season, to a citizen here?
19983If we are any better ourselves, is it not more owing to the absence of temptation, than to any other cause?
19983In putting into the mouth of Falstaff the words,"Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn?"
19983In what manner?"
19983It could not possibly be the consumption of a country-- he did not say it, but he evidently thought it-- so insignificant and poor?
19983Madame Pasta played_ Semiramide_"How do you like her?"
19983Now will it be pretended that his right is lost, always providing that his own is the first_ American_ publication?
19983Of what avails our beautiful glass, unless we know how to cut it?
19983On entering, they eagerly inquired if"I had not been charmed, fascinated; if any thing could be better played, or more touching?"
19983On whom do you imagine the curtain will rise?
19983This startled A----, who, having full faith in my nautical experience, asked what we were to think of it?
19983Were the earth dissolved into gases by fusion, what would become of its satellite the moon?
19983What became of the precedency of the married lady all this time?
19983What more could any reasonable man ask?
19983When two regiments assault each other, it is in compact line--""How,"I interrupted him,"do not you open, so as to leave room to swing a sabre?"
19983Why do not these people appear in America?
19983Why should we go to the_ restaurateurs_ to eat?
19983Will this happen?
19983_ Tenez_--do you see that gentleman who is standing so assiduously near the chair of Madame de S----?
19983exclaimed my country neighbour;"why so, sir?"
19983mon frère!--que fais- tu?"
19983my fancy, whither dost thou go?"
19983or of what great advantage, in the strife of industry, will be even the_ skilful_ glass- cutter, should he not also be the_ tasteful_ glass- cutter?
19983or, do they come, and get absorbed, like all the rest, by the humane and popular tendencies of the country?
2581And you, like the rest, took part in the Revolution through ambition?
2581Fuck, where were you then?
2581General Dumas,[1244] said he, abruptly, to Mathieu Dumas,"you were one of the imbeciles who believed in liberty?"
2581I am inflexible on exemptions; they would be crimes; how relieve one''s conscience of having caused one man to die in the place of another?
2581Is a statesman,said he,"made to have feeling?
2581What do they want of me?
2581What do you want?
2581What has become of the men of the Revolution? 2581 What remains then to fill this fearful void( in the finances)?
2581Who is the rich man to- day? 2581 Why did I stop and sign the preliminaries of Leoben?
2581With a bishop who is merely a damned fool, why are you so often away, etc.?
2581Yes, but how maintain my army? 2581 You pass through Paris?"
2581[ 1136]Are you married?"
2581''And why, citizen Consul?''
2581''What do I care?
2581''What''s the matter with you, Portalis?''
2581( Speaking of his brothers and sisters in the"Memorial"Napoleon says):"What family as numerous presents such a splendid group?"
2581):"What is a man, master of himself?
2581--"What do you mean by that?"
2581--"What is it?"
2581--Ibid., 279:""What is the right of property?
2581--Thibaudeau, 99:"What do I care for the opinions and cackle of the drawing- room?
2581--To the grand- vicars he says,"Which of you governs your bishop-- who is at best a fool?"
2581Adoption, what is that?
2581And better yet, the master deigns to lecture Beugnot on his personal tastes, on his regrets, on his wish to return to France: What would he like?
2581But how, except through divination, can these passions, which grow out of the deepest sentiments, be reached?
2581Did n''t that burly Soult want to be king of Portugal?"
2581Do you know any man vile enough to take part in such contrivances?
2581Do you suppose also that it is for the establishment of a republic?
2581Does he imagine that they are fond of him personally?
2581Does not public morality demand that it should be so considered?
2581Eh, what do I care for your intelligence?
2581Has any difficult task been accomplished?
2581He has spoilt the finest reign Russia ever saw.... How can he admit to his society such men as a Stein, an Armfeld, a Vinzingerode?
2581How can you imagine any man of talent or at all honorable contentedly playing the part of a hog fattening himself on a few millions?"
2581How many have you yourselves not asked for?
2581How, save by conjecture, can forces be estimated which seem to defy all measurement?
2581In what attitude does he wish to place me before the French people?
2581Is he not wholly an eccentric personage, always alone by himself, he on one side and the world on the other?
2581Is it for France or for himself that Napoleon works?
2581Is it possible not to feel that one no longer has a country, that one is under constraint, wounded in feeling and humiliated?...
2581Is it reasonable to work so hard for this, and is so slight an object worth so great an effort?
2581Is it to have nothing, then, to have no parliaments, no provincial governments, no privileged classes, no clerical bodies, no nobility?
2581On the right of children to be supported and fed although of age, he says:"Will you allow a father to drive a girl of fifteen out of his house?
2581Seeing a public functionary issue out of nothingness, where is the shoeblack whose soul would not stir with ambition?"
2581She bears me children, and I then discover she is not my cousin-- is that marriage valid?
2581Some days before Napoleon had said to M. de Narbonne, who told me that very evening:"After all, what has this( the Russian campaign) cost me?
2581The poor Archbishop of Tours, my old schoolmate...''''Eh, well, what has happened to him?''
2581To be his minister in Paris?
2581To that one,"When did you come here?"
2581What started the Revolution?
2581What will end it?
2581When this army of boys is gone, what will you do then?"
2581Where ought this to originate?
2581Who knows how much time he will require to again change the face of Europe and resurrect the Western Roman Empire?"
2581Why should not France have its laws adopted in Holland?...
2581With our customs, our vices, how is that possible?
2581[ 1145]''''Is that useful?''
2581[ 12141]"Do they want me to dishonor myself?
2581[ 3328]"I am more brilliant[3329], you may say?
2581inquired Napoleon,''are you ill?
2581or, again,"When are you going away?
2581says he to this one, and"How many children have you?
2581who told you to come here and stir up my bile in this way?
3886For what?
3886I will take this one, and provide for all the rest; do you consent?
3886Is his mother alive?
3886They had not?
3886--"Have you a memorial?"
3886--"How so, Madame?"
3886After talking of our most celebrated authors, he casually said,"There are doubtless no works on finance or on administration here?"
3886Can we be astonished at the part shortly afterwards taken by the deputies of the Third Estate, when called to the States General?
3886Is it not droll?"
3886The people near him said,"What are you about?
3886What would you have more?
3886Who would have dared to check the amusements of a queen, young, lively, and handsome?
3886Would you have the first a general and the second a bishop?
3886d''Orville?"
3886roared out the enraged musician;"we must describe the Greeks; and had the Greeks chaconnes?"
16245And who will enable us to pardon ourselves, if we cover ourselves with such infamy?
16245Do you think,said he to M. Balasheff,"that I care a straw for these Polish jacobins?"
16245What do you want?
16245A man at Geneva said to me,"Do not you think that the prefect declares his opinion with a great deal of frankness?"
16245After having sacrificed the ancient honor of his house, what strength remained to him of any kind?
16245And what is the consequence of this servile obedience?
16245And what reply did he make you?
16245And why did he torment me in this manner?
16245And will there never arise a man superior to this man, who will demonstrate its inutility?
16245And yet, what would become of a country governed despotically, if a lawless tyrant had not to dread the edge of the poniard?
16245But by what road to get to Sweden?
16245But is not this deplorable system still in full sway in Europe?
16245But the people are slaves, it will be said: what character therefore can they be supposed to have?
16245But what came Bonaparte to offer?
16245But who knows if the virtues which this war has developed, may not be exactly those which are likely to regenerate nations?
16245But why should not you leave it then?
16245But, in short, what destiny is there, great or little, which the man selected to humble man does not overthrow?
16245By what could this rage have been provoked?
16245Can she not live well and sleep well in a good house?"
16245Did he bring a greater liberty to foreign nations?
16245Has not General Bernadotte already taken the side of making peace with England?"
16245Have you seen the Chinese town?
16245His fellow citizens?
16245How was it possible, after this horrible action, for a single monarch in Europe to connect himself with such a man?
16245I answered,"do n''t you see that this can only be a report spread by the enemies of France?"
16245I heard continually buzzing about me the commonplaces with which the world suffers itself to be led:"Has not she plenty of money?
16245I will give orders for it: a residence in Paris?
16245In short, what is it she wishes?"
16245In the midst of all this noise, is there any room for love?
16245In what did it then consist?
16245It was easy for me to judge that I could not remain at Vienna after the French ambassador returned to it; what would then become of me?
16245Necessity, will it be said?
16245Opinion was in favor of the Duke d''Enghien, in favor of Moreau, in favor of Pichegru:--was it able to save them?
16245Should I return to my father, or should I go into Germany?
16245There is a sanctuary in the soul to which his empire never ought to penetrate; if there were not, what would virtue be upon this earth?
16245To what miserable shifts are those princes reduced, who are constantly told that they must yield to circumstances?
16245Was he in the right in doing away as much as he could, oriental manners from the bosom of his people?
16245Was it necessary since that to be continually hearing of the triumphs of him who made his successes fall indiscriminately upon the heads of all?
16245Was it possible that a foreign tyrant should reduce me to wish that the French should be beat?
16245Was it right to punish such a being for the crime which his arm had committed?
16245Was not thy wife fair and good?
16245Wert thou then unhappy on this earth?
16245What is it then I see, in advancing towards the North?
16245What resources therefore could remain to him?
16245What would war do, in the midst of such peaceable establishments?
16245Where could these doves fly to, from the arms of the conqueror?
16245Where is his country?
16245Why is it, say they, that thou hast abandoned us?
16245Why therefore hast thou left her?
16245Why, said he to me yesterday, why does not Madame de Stael attach herself to my government?
16245Will this oath ever allow me to revisit beautiful France?
16245Will you, I was asked, buy some Cashmere shawls in the Tartar quarter?
16245and have not the powerful of the earth carefully gathered up the shameful inheritance of him whom they have overthrown?
16245and out of so many victories, has there ever arisen a single gleam of happiness for poor France?
16245the payment of the deposit of her father?
16245was it right to fix his capital in the north, and at the extremity of his empire?
16245what is it she wants?
16245what is it without independent organs to express it?
16245what is it without the authority of law?
42367But, at our age,she asked,"who can question our intimacy, or prevent me taking care of you?"
42367And d''Artagnan?
42367Early in life, he wrote to his sister:"My two only and immense desires-- to be famous and to be loved-- will they ever be satisfied?"
42367He asks:"Who can stay long from the Place Royale?"
42367He overheard one of them, as he entered the office one day, say:"I''ve done my hour of Balzac; who takes him next?"
3869But,replied the King,"did you not tell him''twas I who had placed you?"
3869Oh,said Biron,"I know that very well; but have you any letter from him?"
3869What for?
3869What is the matter, then, may I ask?
3869Why not?
3869Why, who the devil has been telling you such nonsense? 3869 About seven o''clock in the morning, he saw in the mirror two of his valets at the foot of the bed weeping, and said to them,Why do you weep?
3869At the same time, who was there who did not deplore the pride, the caprice, the bad taste seen in them?
3869Do you know what I was reading?
3869His buildings, who could number them?
3869Is it because you thought me immortal?
3869The King piqued, turned towards his suite, and said:"That''s Louvois''s trade, is it not?
3869The King, who easily perceived this, asked him the cause of his embarrassment; what he was passing over, and why?
3869They heard him repeatedly say to himself, musing profoundly,"Will he?
3869What do you wish to be?"
3869Who can doubt this?
3869Who could have believed it?
3869Will he be made to?
3869Will it be believed?
3869You stick to your text, you wo n''t have the finances?"
3869what will you be?"
28199Are you not esteemed by all the powers? 28199 But what,"rejoined the princess,"will Europe think?
28199Madame,replied Chateaubriand,"may I venture to inquire of you what is the intention of the Duke of Orleans?
28199Under these circumstances,inquired Lafitte,"what is it you have to propose to me?"
28199What are you doing?
28199What are your opinions upon the subject of an hereditary peerage?
28199What do you wish with me?
28199What will become of us to- morrow?
28199Which monarchy?
28199You recoil, do you?
28199''Do you refuse?''
28199''If we can no longer be useful,''said he,''and if we only give occasion of offense, can we hesitate in expatriating ourselves?''"
28199''Sire,''replied the minister,''may I be allowed to address one question to the king?
28199After them a child is called to the succession; and who will venture to condemn his innocence?
28199And the washer- women were asking,"Why should we toil at the tub, and Citizeness Orleans ride in her carriage and dress in satins?
28199And what course can you propose preferable to that of placing the crown on his head?"
28199And where can we find any candidate for the throne who combines so many advantages?
28199But do you think that in the present state of France a republican government can be adopted?"
28199But the Duke of Orleans-- what prestige surrounds him?
28199But what could be expected when nothing is listened to?
28199Did these heroic people do right in thus resisting tyranny and contending for liberty at the price of their blood?
28199Did these heroic troops do right in thus proving faithful to their oaths, their colors, and their king?
28199Do you wish to save the monarchy?"
28199Does Lafayette very sincerely desire a Republic?"
28199Have I been as discreet, prudent, charitable, modest, and courageous as may be expected at my age?
28199Have I been docile, grateful, and attentive to my teachers?
28199Have I been perfectly sincere to- day, disobliging no one, and speaking evil of no one?
28199Have I behaved with mildness and kindness towards my sister and my brothers?
28199Have I done all the good I could?
28199Have I fulfilled all my duties this day towards those I ought to love most in the world-- my father and my mother?
28199Have I shown all the marks of attention I ought to the persons, present or absent, to whom I owe kindness, respect, and affection?
28199Have I shown no proof of that weakness or effeminacy which is so contemptible in a man?
28199Have I this day fulfilled all my duties towards God, my Creator, and prayed to Him with fervor and affection?
28199Having rung the bell, a Capuchin friar appeared at the casement and inquired,"What do you want?"
28199Heir to the imperial tradition, might he not be the choice of the people?
28199His cell being above mine, he was obliged to pass my door on his way out, and he never failed to call out,''Good- day, Montpensier; how are you?''
28199His sight became dim, and he inquired,"Caroline, are you there?"
28199How can he now, thus burdened with kindnesses from the elder branch of the Bourbons, seize upon their inheritance?"
28199How have you contrived to be made a general so soon?"
28199How many of the people know his history, or have even heard his name?"
28199I ask you, is there any person of whom you have ever heard, against whom a greater torrent of calumny has been poured forth than against myself?
28199If exile be the reward for fidelity in princes, we may ask ourselves, with terror and with grief, What protection is there for law and liberty?"
28199If so, what government would succeed?
28199In the feeble accents of approaching death, the duke inquired,"Who is the man who has killed me?
28199Is your majesty resolved on proceeding, should your ministers draw back?''
28199It is asked in vain, What crime has he committed?
28199Ledru Rollin, following in the same strain, said,"Have we arms, ammunition, combatants ready?
28199Might it not demand the overthrow of a dynasty?
28199Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, With hireling hosts, a ruffian band, Affright and desolate the land, While peace and liberty lie bleeding?
28199Shall we have one Republic, or twenty Republics?
28199Should he allow himself to be made king by the bankers in Paris?
28199Tell me, on your word of honor, is the army which has marched out of Paris against me really eighty thousand strong?"
28199The Abbé Gregoire is reported to have exclaimed in disgust,"Good God, are we then to have both a republic and a king?"
28199The king angrily replied,"Who is responsible for the blood which has been shed?
28199Then with extreme emotion she replied to M. Scheffer, the speaker of the party:"How could you undertake such a mission?
28199Upon the utterance of that fatal word, the king inquired anxiously,"Is there no other alternative?"
28199Was France to be plunged into anarchy by the conflict of these rival parties?
28199Was Napoleon himself able to admit it?
28199What are your ideas upon the treaties of 1815?"
28199What do you think about it?"
28199What has he done?
28199What have you to do with him?"
28199What more are we waiting for?"
28199What prince is more liberal in his political sentiments, or more free from those prejudices which have ruined Charles X.?
28199What right have the people of Paris to impose a government, by their vote, on the people of Marseilles?
28199What right have they to constrain any other town to receive the rulers which they have chosen, or the form of government which they have adopted?
28199What will become of me?"
28199When the question was asked of Louis Philippe,"What are your ideas upon the treaties of 1815?"
28199Where would all this lead to?
28199Will he accept the crown, if it is offered to him?"
28199Would the triumphant populace be satisfied merely with a change of ministry?
28199a federal union, or a commonwealth one and indivisible?
28199descended to mount the scaffold?
28199exclaimed the baron,"what are his titles to the crown?
28199inquired Lafitte,"the monarchy of 1789, or the constitutional monarchy of 1814?"
28199les gens de son Altesse Royale?_''I was almost stunned by the noise.
3851But,said the King,"were the confessions, then, null?"
3851Has Madame de Mortemart ever related to you the origin of her abbey?
3851Have you invited the Benedictine Fathers to your fete in the wood?
3851Have you paid dear for this property?
3851Is it to the Marechale de Rochefort or the Marquise de Maintenon that you object? 3851 Is, then, what I have been told lightly, and almost in haste, only too certain for you?
3851It is the President Gonthier who has sold it?
3851Madame,he said,"are you still quite satisfied with young Brisacier, your private secretary?"
3851On what grounds?
3851To the King of Poland!--I? 3851 To what family does she belong?"
3851What do you call her?
3851What,he asked me,"are those buildings with which you are busy in Paris, opposite the Ladies of Belle- Chasse?
3851Where shall I find his like?
3851Where shall I find such knowledge, such indulgence, such kindness? 3851 Who can count upon the morrow?
3851Why have you recommended him to the King of Poland, instead of recommending him to me directly?
3851Why this air of contempt or aversion?
3851Will you accept,I asked her,"supposing the King to insist?"
3851All the French being your subjects, would it not be fitting to grant this distinction sometimes to the one and sometimes to the other?
3851And at bottom, what should any insect gain by being proud?"
3851And for the remainder of my little family, what have I yet done that deserves mention?"
3851How could you believe him constant and immutable, after what happened to me?
3851How is it you did not expect it?
3851I am going to establish him; would it be agreeable to you if I give him your livery?"
3851I hear of a convent; is it your intention to retire?"
3851Why do you give yourself this torture?"
3851You will send me some''touru'', for I am very fond of it?"
3856But the honour which is lost in it,said I,"how will you repair that?"
3856But, Monsieur,I have said,"they are your children as well as mine, why do you not correct them?"
3856How can I,said Grancey,"be reconciled to Madame de Bouillon, after all the wicked things she has said about me?"
3856I suppose, Monsieur,said he,"you come from the army?"
3856In that case, I imagine you are living at Paris with your family?
3856Is it my fault,he rejoined,"that she is dead?
3856What can I do?
3856What can you be thinking of, M. la Mothe le Vayer,said the Cardinal;"would you try to make the King''s brother a clever man?
3856What will you do, then?
3856Why do you disturb yourself?
3856Will you take a walk, or play at some game?
3856Will you work?
3856You arrive here, then, from your country house?
3856At length she did; and said that the Marechale d''Estrees was continually asking her,"What are you always doing with that old woman?
3856But how could a journeyman gardener know the language which ought to be addressed to crowned heads?
3856Can the Devil himself be worse than this bastard?
3856I am very sorry that I made the mistake; but what right had she to read a letter which was not meant for her?
3856Instead of being vexed at this, she laughed, and said,"Has not everybody some weakness?
3856Old Maintenon said to me angrily,"Do you think you know better than all these medical men?"
3856Sandrazky was at my toilette the day before yesterday; as he looked melancholy, I asked him what was the matter?
3856She said arrogantly, and yet my son kept his temper,"Is not the Dauphine dead?"
3856The valet asked him,"What news?"
3856There are dogs and a beautiful forest; will you hunt?"
3856These servants were in the habit of saying to each other,"Come, shall we go and play with the Duchess of Burgundy?"
3856Those who were about her said,"Mon Dieu, Madame, you are eaten up with ennui; will you not take some amusement?
3856Was she immortal?"
3856When I tell him that he is too good, he says,"Is it not better to be good than bad?"
3856When she was dying, she cried,"Ah, mon Dieu, must I die, who have never once thought of death?"
3856Why do you not associate with folks who would amuse you more than that old skeleton?"
3856in their name; and is not what Pompadour has acknowledged voluntarily quite as satisfactory a proof as even their own writing?
3856said the King,"do you know better than the doctors?"
21996Are not German names taboo?
21996Did many travelers come to Mougins from America?
21996Did you know Lamy?
21996Do any fat men live up here?
21996Had you looked up before you spoke?
21996Is it old and all right?
21996Perhaps we can drive down through the city-- why not?
21996Pierre,I cried,"where did you drop from?
21996Say, where is this town Fréjus?
21996So even in Cagnes the young girls know how to give orders to M. le Curé? 21996 Tell me, then,"he said,"what was your thought of me when you saw me coming up the hill to the promenade with my burden of lettuce heads?
21996What do you say,_ mon vieux_?
21996Where is Fréjus?
21996Why not?
21996Why should one poke around a church, especially at night and this night?
21996And another world even from that of the rest of the French Riviera?
21996And in the brief time that we are a- wing, do we really love unusual sights and novel things?
21996And when I told you that I had seen Lamy playing as a boy on the spot where his statue stands?
21996And where would it go after you opened the waste- pipe?
21996And you are an American, are n''t you?"
21996Are Germans and Russians disturbing the peace of Europe any more or any differently than Northern Europeans have always done?
21996But could a chorus of milkmaids to satisfy New York or Paris be recruited outside New York or Paris?
21996But could we correct the mistake?
21996But in the twilight, what skeptic, what Puritan resists the call to worship of the Catholic ritual?
21996But is it known that he is responsible for the most exquisite of scents of milady''s boudoir?
21996But we?
21996But why another world?
21996Did we not agree that Villeneuve- Loubet was superb?
21996Do fruit blossoms, utilitarian embryo, compare for a minute with real flowers?
21996Even when they are of one''s own blood, is there inspiration in the daily reminder of heroes?
21996Had there been a gate in her grandmother''s time?
21996Had we been hurrying through toward Grasse in automobile or tram, we would probably have exclaimed"how picturesque"or"interesting, is n''t it?"
21996Had we come up from Nice that afternoon and did we plan to stay for a day or two with Jean Alphonse at the Hôtel Beau- Site?
21996Have you been mistaken?
21996Have you ever lived in a wagon, Monsieur?
21996How could they get a hold on the sand with some tentacles while others were grabbing you?
21996How do I know?
21996How do you manage when the rock is frozen over with snow and ice?"
21996How many from Mougins have followed Lamy''s example?
21996How much did the Englishman''s love of the Riviera have to do with the Entente Cordiale?
21996How was the music going?
21996I would surely be lacking in my duty--""What is Mougins?"
21996If they had limitations, would they have wanted to come?
21996If this was learning to fly, what was flying?
21996In buildings and villagers have you found anything as fascinating as that purple and red on the mountain snow over there?
21996In exploring, is not our greatest joy and delight in finding something familiar, something we have already known, something we are used to?
21996In the town you are just at the beginning of the peninsula whose conical form and unshutinness( is that a word: perhaps I should have used hyphens?)
21996Is it the Arab at his tent door, looking with dismay and dread at the approach of the Bagdad Railway, who is the fool, or we?
21996Is not lavender the only scent in the world that does not lose by an overdose?
21996Is she going to watch the sunset?
21996Is there any place desirable for living purposes in which the railway does not obtrude?
21996Is wisteria useful?
21996No?
21996Perhaps we were artists?
21996Put them all under the same dispensation and where would be your races?
21996Since human nature is the same the world over, is it surprising that the tricks calculated to captivate and deceive are the same?
21996Sorry for me, were you not?
21996The following morning he looked out of the window, and asked,"What is that town up there behind Cannes, the big one right under the mountains?"
21996To whom was the mediocrity?
21996Trout?
21996Unless you have come to Cagnes to stay?"
21996Was not her lot, cast in this picturesque spot, most enviable?
21996Was not that a reason for going there?
21996What equals the color of the judas- tree in bloom?
21996What muncher of Maine doughnuts in a Boston restaurant has not thought of the"sinkers"offered to him when he was on his last summer''s vacation?
21996What part did the Riviera play in the Franco- Russian Alliance?
21996What was our impression of her country?
21996What was the difference in the process?
21996When had we arrived at Villeneuve- Loubet?
21996When promises are difficult to keep, where are the men of their word?
21996Where can that sewer empty?
21996Where would the hot water and cold water come from?
21996Who has not eaten salt pork on a cattle ranch and longed for cream on a dairy farm?
21996Who wanted to see Corsica any longer?
21996Why is it that some of the most delicate things are associated with the pig, who is himself far from delicate?
21996Why should one go from the city to the country to breathe tar and gasoline?
21996Why should one have to keep one''s eyes wandering from far ahead to back over one''s shoulder for fifty- two weeks in the year?
21996Why, when so much of a former age had disappeared, did this half- arch remain?
21996Would they be given time to leave the country?
21996You may have a confused picture, you may even forget many places you have visited in your travels, but Villefranche?
3888We must, however, fly,said the Queen to me, shortly afterwards;"who knows how far the factious may go?
3888Wherefore all these guns?
3888Will you kill your mothers, your wives, your children?
3888The King replied in accents of profound sensibility:"Cubieres, the French loved Henri IV., and what king ever better deserved to be beloved?"
3888The Queen broke silence and said to the King,"Do you hear, Sire, what Campan says to us?"
3888The principal charge against him was founded on a letter from M. de Foucault, asking him,"where are your troops?
3888The silence of death reigned throughout the palace; they hardly dared hope that the King would return?
3888for your King instead of Louis XVI.?"
3888in which direction will they enter Paris?
3888will it be yesterday over again?
3888will it be yesterday over again?"
3887And how many years shall you require,said the King,"if the advances are not punctually made?"
3887And the Cardinal told you all this?
3887But what if the original, signed by yourself, were shown to you?
3887But,said Boehmer,"the answer to the letter I presented to her,--to whom must I apply for that?"
3887For what can the Queen owe you so extravagant a sum?
3887Have you lost your senses?
3887It will not be played, then?
3887Money, M. Boehmer? 3887 What are your creditors to me?"
3887What have you done with them?
3887Who commissioned you?
3887But, monsieur,"pursued the King, handing him a copy of his letter to Baehmer,"have you ever written such a letter as this?"
3887Did you not tell me you had sold it at Constantinople?"
3887Do you know what happened to me lately?
3887He said to the Marquis de Montesquiou, who was going to see the first representation,''Well, what do you augur of its success?''
3887How could a Prince of the House of Rohan, and a Grand Almoner of France, ever think that the Queen would sign Marie Antoinette de France?
3887The King declined my offer, and said to me,"Were you alone when Boehmer told you this?"
3887The King said to him,"You have purchased diamonds of Boehmer?"
3887What have I done to them?"
44334Addressing himself to a young Englishman who was in his camp, he said,"Have you ever seen how a battle is lost?"
44334Does not this picture imply that Woman at all ages holds in her hand the Empire of the World?"
44334For was it not here, in these woods and on these lakes, that they had lived and feasted in the manner recorded in the chronicles of their time?
44334Or was it not rather the intention of Raphael to represent the_ Three Ages of Womanly Beauty_?
44334The Duc d''Aumale expresses himself about it in the following terms:"Are these really the_ Three Graces_ whom we have here before us?
44334To the complaints of her Italian courtiers that she spent too much money upon her compatriots she replied,"_ Que voulez- vous?
44334Was this her Majesty''s gratitude for the victories he had gained against the enemies of France?
3848And Boileau, Sire?
3848And what about me, Sire?
3848And you submit without a murmur to such appalling exile?
3848Did you meet with any good friends among your associates?
3848Do you think there is any objection to our giving to little Vegin the dress of an abbe?
3848Do you think you will be able to manage them, madame?
3848Have you reckoned the distance? 3848 How do you mean, Sire?"
3848Is it your intention to condemn my son to be an ecclesiastic?
3848Is such a pretty, charming person as yourself fitted for a Court of that kind, and for such an odd sort of climate?
3848Madame,inquired the brigadier,"have you not been in a nunnery?"
3848Married? 3848 On leaving the convent, where did you go?"
3848Pray, monsieur, why do you ask?
3848So, in your treasure- house at Saint Denis you keep all the crowns of all the reigns?
3848Then,said I,"you will forgive me, wo n''t you, for having given birth to him?"
3848What, may it please your Majesty, shall I get from the distribution of all these favours and emoluments?
3848Will my son, on receiving this abbey, have to wear the dress of his office?
3848With all their rubies, diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds?
3848Yes, Sire, and where could they be better guarded than with us? 3848 You, madame?"
3848Your daughter? 3848 But has she any right to act in this way? 3848 But why did you want to get married?
3848Did the Princess confess that she was going to carry you off to the other end of the world?
3848Do n''t you think I am able to get her properly married?"
3848Do you think her capable of contributing to your pleasure or your happiness?
3848Does your niece''s coronation provide you also with illusions?"
3848How comes it that the King, who in face is her living image, does not desire to be like her in heart?
3848I continued;"what place among your favourites does he fill?"
3848In fact, his name in no way fits so charming a personality as yours; would it grieve you to change it?"
3848Is not the King powerful enough to effect this?"
3848Is she wrong or is she right?
3848It seemed to me the King flushed slightly as he rejoined,"A sovereign on his feet, or a sovereign overthrown?"
3848Oh, young lady, what behaviour is this?
3848One day his Majesty said to me,"Have you ever met in society a young widow, said to be very pretty, but, at the same time, extremely affected?
3848The King looked impassively at my sister, showing not a sign of emotion, and he said to her:"Do you visit there?"
3848Then, turning to me, he observed,"You make no remark, madame?
3848What was your motive for leaving these ladies, and who enabled you to do so?"
3848What, madame, are you married?
3848When I begged Cardinal Mazarin to grant me the hand of the present Madame de Mazarin, his Eminence replied,"Would you like to be a cardinal?
3848Will you do me the favour of being as amusing some other time, if I venture to make one of the party?"
3896But where do you intend to show it for money?
3896Where is it now?
3896And am I not a Frenchman?
3896And as to his money?
3896And his arms?
3896And is he not a foreigner?
3896Have you any doubt that his ambition and vanity extend beyond the grave?
3896He answered:"Do you not remember your brother''s jockey, Prial?"
3896Were not most of the Field- marshals and generals under him now, above him ten years ago?
3896Who are the conspirators hailing the Prince as their chief?
3896Who can explain this contradiction?
3896you a colonel, an Emperor, before me, who have so long been a general?"
35768''And you, my lad,''said the prince,''have you your own projects, and have you made up your mind as to what you wish?'' 35768 And yet, if we judge from analogy, what family, in similar circumstances, would have acted better?
35768But how is it? 35768 How seldom is so numerous a family entitled to so much praise?
35768The Duke of Orleans, was he not a pupil of Dumourier? 35768 Will it be necessary for me to speak of myself to your Majesty to give him confidence in my character?
35768Your father was accustomed to say to me,''When will the time arise when justice alone shall reign? 35768 ''Are you from the South?'' 35768 Can she then complain that France possesses Belgium and the left banks of the Rhine? 35768 Did he not enter France in the train of the Allies, sword in hand, with his cousins? 35768 Did he not go to Cadiz, sent by the English, to fight the French troops who did not then wear the white cockade of the Bourbons? 35768 Did he not, like Dumourier, desert the cause of the nation? 35768 Has he the less pretension of being entitled to the throne by the right of birth? 35768 He often said to us in the evening,''Where shall we go? 35768 Is he the less a Bourbon? 35768 Is it for you to condemn me? 35768 Is it through the choice of the people, or the right of birth, that he claims to sit upon the throne of his ancestors? 35768 Is it want of tact, is it misfortune? 35768 Napoleon incessantly said to me,''When will peace arrive? 35768 One of the officers said to the artist scornfully,Where would your pretended liberty be, should the governor of the city open fire upon you?"
35768One of these characteristic anecdotes was as follows:"Joseph,"said the Emperor to me one day,"T----[AO] has infinite ability, has he not?
35768Since then, at Naples, in Spain, has that character been falsified?
35768The consciousness of not having merited the abandonment of which you speak, is not that a happy sentiment?
35768The star of my brother, will it always shine luminous and brilliant in the skies?
35768Those who have borne arms against their country, against their benefactor, who have sold their services to foreigners, think you they can be happy?
35768Was he not rescued with them, and did he not owe to the disaster at Waterloo his return to France?
35768Was there no other man in France more worthy to take temporarily the helm of state?
35768Well, do you know why he has never accomplished any thing great?
35768When shall I finish my dictatorship?
35768When were traitors ever before allowed to live free in a capital-- wretches who had plotted against the State?
35768Who would wear the crown about to be vacated?
35768Why do you speak of the services rendered to the arts and the sciences by the religious orders?
35768Why should I not say this?
35768Will it be the same in the new realm which awaits me?
35768Will this be done?
35768Would Louis, Lucien, or one of Napoleon''s marshals succeed Joseph?
35768Would the Two Sicilies be annexed to the kingdom of Italy under Eugene?
35768named him lieutenant- general of the realm, and regent of his grandson?
35768to the Theatre Francais or to the Opera?''
35768where shall we look for her equal?
40306What was this garden?
40306Did he have a presentiment that, in talent and wit, he would one day be the successor of the Beaumarchais whose property he thus intruded on?
40306Do I love you?"
40306How often have we lingered in front of the old books or new ones, turning over the leaves, or reading between two pages yet uncut?
40306Was it her husband that they were bringing home dead?
40306Why these everlasting, culpable mutilations, which I know are a grief to Monsieur Périer, the eminent Director of the Museum?
40306Why?...
40306Would justice at last act and severity be shown?
40306buildings?
40306this fine palace be condemned soon to disappear?
34838Am I right?
34838An arm? 34838 How so?"
34838Where are you going?
34838Which has been the happiest age of humanity?
34838Why am I not my grandson?
34838Am I to make them?"
34838Am I, then, dead?"
34838And what did he do?
34838But how should the retreat be conducted?
34838Caulaincourt, of course, would necessarily be one; Ney, dangerous if thwarted, must be the second; and the third?
34838Could it be that the sly schemer, for the furtherance of his ambition to govern France, was about to turn traitor and betray the coalition?
34838Did Talleyrand''s duplicity and meanness render less valuable or permanent the work he did in thwarting the coalition at Vienna?
34838Do you know what I ought to do?
34838Do you know what is more difficult to bear than the reverses of fortune?
34838Does his personality throw any light on the antecedent period-- does his career influence the succeeding years?
34838Had he forgotten the murder of Enghien?
34838He could not live in St. Helena; he was accustomed to ride twenty miles a day; what could he do on that little rock at the end of the world?
34838He was, of course, deeply agitated-- did he dare risk being infolded on both sides, or should he brave his fate in order to mislead the enemy?
34838His artificial aristocracy, his system of great fiefs, his financial shifts-- who dares to say that these institutions did not meet a temporary want?
34838If, then, Napoleon was after all but a plain man, how did he become a personage?
34838In other words, is it likely that the third French republic could have been the direct successor of the first?
34838Napoleon rejoined that he had thought of that; but, having always sought to do England harm, would the English make him welcome?
34838Only once he seemed overpowered, being observed, as he sat at table, to strike his forehead and murmur:"God, is it possible?"
34838Should he appear at dawn before the Tuileries, summon the troops already in Paris, and prorogue the hated chambers, or should he not?
34838Should the Czar assent to the regency, where would Marmont be?
34838Should these fateful syllables be written over the mortal remains of Napoleon Bonaparte?
34838The persistent critics of Frederick have been asking and reiterating questions such as these: Why did not the king begin early in July, 1756?
34838To Ney''s demand for infantry the Emperor replied:"Where do you expect me to get them from?
34838To whom did this highest official authority address itself?
34838Was Catharine II of Russia a mere damned soul because of her harlotries?
34838Was consistency, as generally understood, to be expected in this personage; is it, indeed, found in most great men?
34838Was it a life- and- death struggle for ascendancy in the western world?
34838Was the struggle of these two glorious and enlightened sister nations a struggle for territorial ascendancy in Europe?
34838Was the work of Alexander the Great worthless because of his debaucheries?
34838Was this the end, and did Napoleon have no place in history, as many historians have lately been contending?
34838What are its other important members?
34838What could a distracted partizan do?
34838What could be substituted for it?
34838What for?
34838What single mind could grapple with such affairs?
34838What was the basis of the long conflict between England and France to which Napoleon fell heir?
34838What, then, was the cause?
34838Who should constitute the embassy to present the document to the Czar?
34838Whose was the responsibility for this disgrace to civilization?
34838Why did he not continue the war in October?
34838Why did he not renew hostilities the following year until forced to it?
34838Why did he not storm the camp of Pirna?
34838Why did he rise, and what did he accomplish?
34838Why did they not let me die?
34838Would destiny have paused in its career?
34838Your fathers are threatened by a restoration of titles, of privilege, and of feudal rights; is it not so?"
34838why am I not my grandson?"
3871And M. le Comte de Toulouse?
3871And if they are not?
3871But if they commit some absurdity, or leave Paris?
3871But what is the meaning of all this?
3871How, acquainted with?
3871What is the matter?
3871And then turning to the Keeper of the Seals,"Monsieur, will you read the declaration?"
3871At this moment the Marechal de Villeroy, full of his own thoughts, muttered between his teeth,"But will the Parliament come?"
3871But how to send such an account as this?
3871But now the question arose, where are the prisoners to be put?
3871But where was Madame Sforze?
3871How often was he firm in carrying them out?
3871I advanced a few steps towards her, and at her third appeal, I said:"Madame, you know nothing then?"
3871I asked Biron what it was?
3871I bent my head a little while looking fixedly at him, as though to say,"Well, what then?"
3871Might not M. le Duc d''Orleans falter at the last moment?
3871Might not all our preparations, so carefully conducted, so cleverly planned, weigh upon his feebleness until they fell to the ground?
3871She rose as soon as I appeared, and said to me, with eagerness,"Well, Monsieur, what news?"
3871Then turning towards M. le Duc, he added,"Monsieur, will you explain it?"
3871What more natural than that the two young men should travel in company?
3871What news bring you?"
3871Worn out at last, I said,"News?
3871exclaimed she;"what has happened?"
3871he demanded;"where are these gentlemen?"
11996And why, pray?
11996Au pied de ce monumentOu le bon Henri respire"Pourquoi l''airain foudroyant?
11996But what are we to understand by measures of rigour? 11996 Du peuple ils sont les amis,"Le peuple veut il qu''on l''aime,"Quand il met le fils d''Henri"Dans les prisons de Paris?
11996Quel crime ont ils donc commisPour etre enchaines de meme?
11996To whom can such power belong, but to the French, in those countries into which they may carry their arms? 11996 Which of you, Citizens,( says he,) would not have fired the cannon?
11996_**And you, Sir, are without doubt, a good patriot?"
11996_--Is it for Nantes that you petition?
11996_--We want to know what you have done with our treasure and our liberty?"
11996_[It''s unlucky, but what can be said in such cases?"]
11996* What are the death of the King, and the murders of August and September, 1792, but the Magna Charta of the republicans?
11996*"And how the deuce can you expect me to march well, when you have made my shoes too tight?"
11996** People.--_"Nous vous demandons ce que vous avez fait de nos tresors et de notre liberte?
11996--"And, pray, are the servants to have no dinner?"
11996--"Well, but the Robespierrians-- you must have gained by them?"
11996--"You are an aristocrate then, I suppose?"
11996--(Frenchmen, Frenchmen, will you never cease to be Frenchmen?)
11996--Do you not read, and call me calumniator, and ask if these are proofs that there is no public spirit in France?
11996--Patriots of the North, would you wish to see our soldiers clothed by the same means?
11996Admitting these accusations to be unfounded, what ideas must the people have of their magistrates, when they are credited?
11996After asking for more rolls, we accosted him with the usual phrase,"Et vous, Monsieur, vous etes bon patriote?"
11996And is no life resign''d"To see them sparkle from their parent throne?"
11996Are our principles every where the mere children of circumstance, or is it in this country only that nothing is stable?
11996Are these literary miners to penetrate the recesses of private life, only to bring to light the dross?
11996But what can compensate for the injury done to the people?
11996Can they with safety suffer it to be exercised by any other persons?
11996Could the aristocrates, then, flatter themselves with the hope of making you believe I had the intention of disarming you?
11996Do they analyse only to discover poisons?
11996How often have yielded to the little, and opposed the great, not from conviction, but interest?
11996How often must he have sacrificed both his reason and his principles?
11996How shall I explain to an Englishman the doctrine of universal requisition?
11996How would Madame de Sevigne wonder, could she behold one of these modern belles esprits, with which her country, as well as England, abounds?
11996Is there no distinction to be made between rigorous and barbarous measures?

11996Perhaps the bust of Robespierre may one day replace that of Henry the Fourth, and, to speak in the style of an eastern epistle,"what can I say more?"
11996She told me she did not come to the town,_"a cause de la foederation"--"Vous etes aristocrate donc?"
11996We are disturbed almost nightly by the arrival of fresh prisoners, and my first question of a morning is always_"N''est il pas du monde entre la nuit?
11996What horror can their mock- tragedies excite in those who have contemplated the Place de la Revolution?
11996What is to restore their ancient frugality, or banish their acquired wants?
11996What perverse and malignant influence can have excited the people either to incur or to suffer their present situation?
11996What signifies our preaching the unity and indivisibility of the republic, when we can not maintain peace and union amongst ourselves?
11996What will then be the situation of France?
11996What would you think if they would not dispense with a hornpipe on the tight- rope by Mrs. Webb?
11996Whenever I want to purchase any thing, the vender usually answers my question by another, and with a rueful kind of tone inquires,"En papier, madame?"
11996Which of you would not joyfully have destroyed all these traitors at a blow?"
11996Who, after this mandate, would venture to oppose a member recommended by the Commune of Paris?
11996Yet what are fresh air and green fields to us, who are immured amidst a thousand ill scents, and have no prospect but filth and stone walls?
11996Yet, how are these delinquents to be brought to condemnation?
11996Yet, where are they now?
11996are we not miserable?
11996or will any one pretend that they really understood the democratic Machiavelism which they were to propagate in Brabant?
11996will no gallant mind"The cause of love, the cause of justice own?
3884''Is it for a man or a woman?''
3884''Well,''said the Queen,''if he loses all his patients who are his friends, what will become of those who are not?''"]
3884''What''s that?''
3884''Which are they?''
3884''Whither are you carrying that coffin?''
3884--''Are you really in earnest, Sire?''
3884--''Do you speak them fluently?''
3884--''He will be exposed with his face bare?''
3884--''Well, what did you see?''
3884--''What are you saying, brother?''
3884--''What did he die of?''
3884For unmasking those wretches who want a bigot for a King?''
3884For what?
3884He one day asked one of his most familiar servants,''What do they say in Paris of that great fool of a Dauphin?''
3884The field of honour has witnessed ours; but where are we to look for yours?
3884The next day the King at his levee, as soon as he perceived Landsmath, said,''Have you done as I desired you, Landsmath?''
3884Was it not drying up the source of all the advantages they enjoyed, or could hope for?"
3884What country can you possibly come from then?''
3884What interest could the courtiers have in seeking her destruction, which involved that of the King?
3884What more could Madame Campan wish?
3884What remained of her former power?
3884What savage greatness did they discover in stirring up a whole nation to avenge their quarrel on a woman?
3884What urgent reasons of state could Danton, Collot d''Herbois, and Robespierre allege against her?
3884said Landsmath, angrily;''has your Majesty been procuring the certificate of my baptism?''
31026Do the signatures of the great powers make them any less our foes?
31026Do you think you are talking to the Mamelukes?
31026Shall we enter the hall?
31026Was it for this,said another,"that you were victorious?"
31026What are the pressing dangers?
31026What have you done,said the dictator to Barras''s messenger--"what have you done with the France I made so brilliant?
31026What revolutionary,said Napoleon to his brother Joseph,"would not have confidence in an order of things where Fouché is minister?
31026What would you say,said Tierney,"if Bonaparte victorious should refuse to treat except with the Stuarts?"
31026Where is it? 31026 Where will your master live?"
31026Who knew how long he would take to change the face of Europe again, and resuscitate the empire of the West?
31026Why did not Tacitus explain how the Roman people put up with the wicked emperors who ruled them?
31026Would you, a supporter of the republic, leave it to perish in the hands of these lawyers?
31026Against whom such measures of precaution?
31026At once the question arose, Who should this high official be?
31026Attendant republics already revolved about the great central French republic; were kingdoms, too, beginning to join the round?
31026Bonaparte was a man of virtue and talent, to be sure, but what about his descendants?
31026But was this possible?
31026But where and how?
31026But where was the general?
31026But where were the children?
31026But why should that body also declare war or make peace?
31026Did ever the wheels of conspiracy run so smoothly?
31026Does such a situation create no moral obligation?
31026For whom do you vote?"
31026Had the scoffer, the worshiper of science, the would- be Mohammedan prophet, himself experienced a change of heart?
31026He then began again:''Why such armaments?
31026How could Austria be put in the same position?
31026How could an absolute dictator install his penates in the sometime home of absolute royalty without inspiring general distrust?
31026How could the council, eager as they were to do so, grant the general''s demands on such a showing as this?
31026How far would Bonaparte curb his ambition?
31026How far would England surrender her control of European commerce?
31026If the country had been exhausted by the old régime, what had the recklessness of the Jacobins done for it?
31026If the duke were tampering with the loyalty of the troops, what need of proof that he was in any sense a participator in the plot?
31026If there were no alternative except war or suicide, is Great Britain to be blamed for choosing war, however desperate?
31026In view of these disturbing circumstances, many also asked, Where is the statesman?
31026Is it not we who have destroyed the Knights of Malta because those insensate chevaliers believed God wanted them to make war on the Mussulmans?
31026Is it not we who have destroyed the Pope that said war must be made on the Mussulmans?
31026Joseph was the eldest, could he be considered as a possible president in Italy?
31026Josephine having been barren since her second marriage, would the succession go to her children or to her husband''s relatives?
31026Of what use were these incapables who were at the head of affairs?
31026Or should he put down the mask?
31026Such plans seem fantastic to the multitude, but what else than their realization is in sober reality the British empire of to- day?
31026The council of state then took up the matter and proposed to ask for a plebiscite on the question, Shall Napoleon Bonaparte be consul for life?
31026True, he had not been in actual danger, for the police had been alert; but did that alter the enormity of the Bourbon intrigues against his life?
31026Was Fortune at last to desert her child?
31026Was he not master of the two great maritime commonwealths which had once shared the mass of Eastern trade between them?
31026Was it to maintain the chaos in Paris that he was conquering, administering, negotiating?
31026Was the age of violence not passed?
31026Was this another Alexander?
31026Were his orders, in view of the changed situation, still valid?
31026Were they merely to exchange one tyranny for another more bloody?
31026What could be plainer than the meaning of this?
31026What could they be?
31026What do they want?
31026What else could be expected from the kings of Europe?
31026What gentleman would not expect to find existence possible under the former Bishop of Autun?
31026What was the ultimate design of the great schemer if the imminent war broke out while the best French troops were in Africa?
31026What was to be done with the rest of Italy, with Spain and with Portugal, in order to secure his preponderance in western Europe?
31026What were they, indeed?
31026Where are the hundred thousand warriors who have disappeared from the soil of France?
31026Whither bound?
31026Why did it eventually fail in Spain?
31026Why, then, as under the present constitution, should the French legislature alone have rights which belonged to government in its totality?
31026Would England again and finally dash the French Utopia into ruins?
31026Would the soldiers, enthusiastic as they seemed, really obey if ordered to take violent measures?
31026Would the surviving dynasties admit him, as the representative of French nationality, to a seat on their Olympus?
31026Would this work a miracle and remove the reproach of her barrenness?
31026he said to the agent from the Bishop of Mainz,"when he loses his present residence?"
31026what have I done?"
32047''What, then,''Madame Tallien replied,''because he governs France, does he expect to tyrannize over our hearts? 32047 And where is the empress?"
32047And why should I not?
32047And why,said she,"have you changed your intentions in reference to William?"
32047But are you aware of the magnitude of the undertaking?
32047But what if the grenadiers themselves take to hissing like the rest?
32047Can you suppose that papa and I would contrive between us to deceive you?
32047How know you this?
32047Is happiness or misfortune to be my lot?
32047Is there a vault, a garret, a hiding- place into which the eye of the tyrant Robespierre does not penetrate? 32047 Now how much money, my good woman,"inquired Napoleon,"would you like to have to make you perfectly happy?"
32047Oh, sir, I should want as much as twenty louis( about eighty dollars); but what prospect is there of our ever having twenty louis?
32047Well,said the first consul, rubbing his hands in fine spirits,"we go to church this morning; what say they to that in Paris?"
32047What do you mean, my dear child?
32047What say you to this security of success? 32047 Whither shall I flee?"
32047Why, sister,exclaimed Eugene,"how can you say so?"
32047Will not your power,she wrote to him,"opposed, as to a certainty it must be, by the neighboring states, draw you into a war with them?
32047You must doubtless, then,said the emperor,"have some mistress to revisit, since you are so desirous to return to your country?"
32047''Nonsense,''said the worthy seaman,''is that all?
32047But how could she escape?
32047But is it not my duty to bestow as much charity as I can?"
32047But what could she do?
32047But what is death?
32047But what is there so extraordinary in this narrative?
32047Could any thing be better calculated to soothe whatever might be painful in my thoughts at this moment, did I not so sincerely love the emperor?
32047For these, I ask you, is he to blame?
32047Having ceased to be your wife, dare I felicitate you on becoming a father?
32047He was heard mournfully and anxiously to repeat to himself again and again,"To whom shall I leave all this?"
32047How could you imagine that I could participate in opinions so ridiculous and so malicious?
32047How is it, my daughter, that, without permission from your aunt, you have come to Paris?
32047If I am condemned, how can I escape?
32047If I die, who will prove to him a father?
32047If it be thus with me, what must it be with others?
32047If, after our union, he should cease to love me, will he not reproach me with what he will have sacrificed for my sake?
32047In a mournful voice, tremulous with emotion, he replied,"Eugene, you know the stern necessity which compels this measure, and will you forsake me?
32047Is he obliged to conform his nature to circumstances?
32047Is it not a proof of confidence springing from an excess of vanity?
32047Is it not so, mamma?"
32047Josephine said, with a smile,"You do not think that I have occupied too much time at my toilet?"
32047Josephine, however, was only amused, and smiling, said,"So you discover something very extraordinary in my destiny?"
32047Must we sacrifice to him our private friendships?''
32047She appeared for a time very thoughtful, and then inquired of Eugene, with an anxious expression of countenance,"Do_ you_ believe that papa is ill?
32047Should she take them with her, and thus prevent the possibility of eluding arrest?
32047The president fixed his eye upon him doubtingly, and said,"Are you willing to undertake our defense?"
32047What caused this apparently miraculous change?
32047What have they done in the end for me?
32047What illusions can now remain for me?
32047What maiden ever consulted a fortune- teller without receiving the agreeable announcement that she was to we d beauty, and wealth, and rank?
32047What shall I do?
32047What shall I then reply?
32047What will the first consul say, should he not find you on his return?''
32047Where could she go?
32047Who can fathom the mystery of the creation of such a drama?
32047Who could have predicted to him his fortune?
32047Who has not inhabited this palace?
32047Who is to make a man of him?"
32047Who made all that?"
32047Who will bring him up?
32047Who would not be proud of having proclaimed the rights of the nation, the fall of despotism, and the reign of laws?"
32047Who, then, should I have a son, the object of my desires and preserver of my interests, who would watch over the child when I am absent?
32047Why show to Louis this repugnance?
32047Will he not regret a more brilliant marriage which he might have contracted?
32047Will he venture upon a conflict so unequal, when failure is his certain death?
32047Will not their neighbors, beholding these effects, combine for your destruction?
32047Will the little Corsican dare to fire upon the people?
32047Will you accompany me to Strasburg?"
32047With something like resentment, she asked,"Why, then, madame, do you not appoint your household?"
32047Would not her attempt at flight be construed into a confession of guilt, and thus compromise the safety of her husband?
32047exclaimed Napoleon, looking upon him sadly;"will you, Eugene, my adopted son, leave me?"
32047she promptly replied,"am I not the wife of their commander?"
32047sire, why can I not fly to you?
32047though he hath committed great faults, hath he not expiated them by great sufferings?
32047what is death?
47233Why doth the miser all his cares employ,To gain those riches that he ca n''t enjoy?"
47233And, will not the people murmur, if they have no share in the same?
47233I was asked,_ A''imez vous la soupe à la Françoise, Monsieur?_ My answer was--_Oui, Madame_.
47233Will not a king feel very uneasy, if he has no part of the legislative power?
47233Will not the nobles be discontented, if they have no part of it?
3893Did she see you?
3893Does he want nothing else?
3893For whom,asked Bonaparte,"did you intend this treasonable correspondence?
3893Gentlemen,said he,"you have been in England; what is your opinion of the character of these islanders, and of the probability of their subjugation?"
3893Is the Police Minister and Senator, Fouche, your friend?
3893Where did you pass the evening last Saturday?
3893You have known Her Imperial Highness a long time?
3893After the perusal of this report, Bonaparte asked Talleyrand:"What can Edelsheim mean by his troublesome assiduities?
3893And if the pages of history assign me any glory, must it not be shared with you-- or rather, do you not share it with me?
3893But did not the Goddess of Reason, did not Robespierre as a high priest of a Supreme Being, speak as highly of their sectaries?
3893Can you believe my throne at Milan safe as long as it is not the sole throne of Italy?
3893Do you expect to govern at Rome when I cease to reign at Milan?
3893Does he want any indemnities, or does he wish me to make him a German Prince?
3893How long have you conspired with my enemies, and where are your accomplices?"
3893If the present Roman pontiff acts differently from what his Master and predecessors would have done, can he be the vicar of our Saviour?"
3893Would Jesus Christ, if upon earth, have acted thus?
3893Would his immediate successors, the Apostles, not have preferred the suffering of martyrdom to the commission of any injury?
3893You will no doubt exclaim,"How can Bonaparte employ, how dares he confide, in such a man?"
3893confer on Napoleon the First what belongs to Louis XVIII.?
3893exclaimed the Emperor frequently,"your son, the work of your hand?
14194''And what did you do?'' 14194 ''Did you approve that order?''"
14194''Yes; why not? 14194 And what will the end be?"
14194And why not, Louis? 14194 Are not we magnificent in our own house, Monsieur?"
14194Are we going to be shot?
14194Are you proud of your resistance? 14194 Are you so sure of that?"
14194But my wounded?
14194But what must I do,asked the duchess,"without friends, without relations, without counsel?"
14194But, M. le Comte, are you not afraid of reducing us to despair, of exasperating our resistance?
14194Could you not offer me two hours?
14194Does Madame desire so much to pass in?
14194If the present Government of France is overthrown,they said,"and an appeal made to the people, who will fill the interregnum?
14194Now, shall I fire, or shall I reward you?
14194Then what can be done for them?
14194What have you ever done for me that you have any claim on me?
14194What would you have?
14194Where are you going to take me?
14194Where is it held?
14194Where''s Le Sage?
14194Why am I a Boulangist?
14194_ Ah, mon Dieu!_she cried once, when pleading for the pardon of a workman,"how could he be guilty?
14194_ Tiens, Général!_he cried,"is that you?
14194''And your passport, Citizen?''
14194''How can a French Assembly be expected to deliberate when covered by your guns?
14194''How is it, then, that you were arrested?
14194''Then all is over?''
14194''Then no one,''I said, pointing to these blossoms,''need be afraid in Paris?''
14194''What is that?''
14194''When?''
14194''Where are they wounded?''
14194''Where did you get it?''
14194''Why not?
14194''Your name?''
14194; and he added:"After all, why should I treat with you?
14194And when an officer in attendance called out to the crowd not to hurt the king, he was answered:"Do you take us for assassins?
14194And with all the machinery of government in his hands, is it certain that a_ plébiscite_ would be the free vote of the people?"
14194And would he understand what to do?
14194At this another voice called out:"_ Tiens!_ is that you, Lamoricière?
14194But how to feed the multitude?
14194But the government of France was the government of one man; and if anything happened to that one man, where would be the government?
14194Could I ask one of the soldiers to convey a message for me?
14194Could a child and a woman govern as he had done by a despotic will?
14194Could n''t one be allowed to re- light one''s cigar?"
14194De Nigra gave him a kick, and asked him how he dared to cry:"Vive l''Empereur?"
14194Do you wish me to try it?"
14194Gambetta was known to be for_ No Surrender!_ Which should prevail?
14194His reply to such applications always was:"If he is not a Christian, what does he want with a cross?"
14194I gave him my hand, and said:''You will come and see us tomorrow before going away?''
14194If France were a republic, who should be her president?
14194If his project for self- government in France must prove a failure, when he was dead, what then?
14194May I here be permitted to relate a little story connected with this day''s events?
14194On hearing their story, he turned round, and said, in excellent English,"What are you doing here, an Englishman and in plain clothes?"
14194She was the queen''s niece, and if captured what could be done with her?
14194Should the president be elected by the Chamber, or by a vote of the people?
14194Should there be a vice- president?
14194Should there be one Chamber, or two?
14194The difficulty was what royalty?
14194The general called to one of them by name:''Have you got the road from here to Metting?''
14194The king had got his own again,--why should not they get back theirs?
14194The major went up to him, and looking at the eagle, said in French,''Is it for sale?''
14194The marshal went himself at last, and the king, after listening to his representation of the state of Paris, said calmly:"Then it is really a revolt?"
14194The people never saw a horseman without shrieking to him,''How is all going on at present?''
14194The question this time was: Shall the prince president become emperor?
14194The young woman smiled at me, as much as to say:''Is he not a fine fellow?''
14194There were several points of primary importance to be settled at once; first: should France be a monarchy, or a republic?
14194Was it on a barricade?''
14194What are you but rebels?
14194What could have occurred?
14194What have I not suffered?"
14194What might not be happening to them?
14194What more can we say?
14194What was now to be done?
14194What would become of those under your care if the friends of the Commune were set over them?"
14194When it had reached the Germans, one of its occupants put out his head and asked, in German, for Count von Bismarck?
14194When the resignation of M. Grévy had been accepted, came the question, Who should succeed him?
14194When the_ maire_ presented himself at their summons, they demanded on what terms Versailles would surrender?
14194Where had the empress- regent fled?
14194Why did I not take your advice?
14194Why should I give your irregular Republic an appearance of legality by signing an armistice with its representative?
14194Will General Boulanger, if all power is intrusted to him, consent to give it up, if the nation votes for monarchy?
14194Would the dictator lay aside his power without a struggle?
14194[ 1]"Why are my friends Boulangists?
14194she said,"are you the Commissioner of Police come to arrest me for my outrageous letter to the queen?

48470Baudricourt was a greet, rough, sensible soldier, and how could Joan go to him with a message of this kind?
48470But how could she escape?
48470The regular soldiers followed, and all day long they attacked the walls, carrying ladders to climb then?
48470They went to her, and asked her if the Voices had come to her again?
48470What had Joan told to the King?
48470â � � You know that I told the Duchess I would bring you back safe?
48470â � �_They say: What say they?

3889How is it, Madame,wrote Barnave to the Queen,"that you will persist in giving these people even the smallest doubt as to your sentiments?
3889Tigers,exclaimed Barnave,"have you ceased to be Frenchmen?
3889Would it be a brisk action?
3889Would you have her go with you?
3889''Where?''
3889And ought I not to feel all these advantages?
3889But how is it that you complain of injustice and calumny when you see that we are victims of them?
3889Do assassins ever strike otherwise?"]

3889Of all the daughters of Maria Theresa am I not that one whom fortune has most highly favoured?
3889Ought I to abandon her?"

3890Do you promise that you will?
3890Have you heard it long?
3890Is it because we have too long forgotten the crimes of the Austrian? 3890 Kill him?"
3890Of what has Elisabeth to complain?
3890Poison him?
3890Transport him?
3890What does the Convention intend to do with him?
3890What, then?
3890Who commands that vessel?
3890Why do the enemies of the Republic still hope for success?
3890''But at least,''the King said,''my son will pass the night in my room, his bed being here?''
3890--"What do you mean?"
3890--''And my niece?''
3890--''You are not ill?''
3890After each article the President paused, and said,"What have you to answer?"
3890And what are his orders?"
3890Are not such misfortunes the noblest honours?"
3890Do you not hear it?
3890During the calling of the votes he asked M. de Malesherbes,"Have you not met near the Temple the White Lady?"
3890Gomin, astonished, said to him,"From what direction do you hear this music?"
3890If it were not so, was there any occasion for her to enter into any detail as to what the portfolio contained?
3890M. de Malesherbes, according to his promise to the King, went to the Temple at nine o''clock on the morning of the 17th?.
3890Queen by Hdbert,--namely, that she had had an improper intimacy with her own son?
3890Who would have foreseen that, in uniting your lot to mine, you would have descended so low?"
3890[ According to M. de Hue,"The first time M. de Malesherbes entered the Temple, the King clasped him in his arms and said,''Ah, is it you, my friend?
3881''Dining in the theatre, mamma?'' 3881 ''In what manner, sir?''
3881''No,''replied she;''will you breakfast with me?'' 3881 ''To go, I hope?''
3881''What do you mean?'' 3881 ''What do you mean?''
3881''Where is our Ambassador,''said I,''and the Neapolitan?'' 3881 ''Who,''asked she, I was the guilty wretch that accused our unfortunate Barnave?''
3881Are you a poetess?
3881But surely you will not be so unreasonable as not to hear what I have to say?
3881But surely,said she,"you have not really discharged the poor man?"
3881Was he a Frenchman?
3881Why?
3881''Has Your Majesty breakfasted?''
3881''Was any, sum,''asked she,''named as a compensation for suspending this trial?''
3881--"How so?"
3881But how prevent it?
3881But what has brought that again into your mind just now?''
3881But,''continued she,''has Your Majesty really forgiven me?''
3881Do you think you should know him, if you were to see him again?"
3881Had all the Royal Family, remained, is it likely that the King and Queen would have been watched with such despotic vigilance?
3881I laughed, and was turning from him, saying,"Is this all your business?"
3881Might it not be fancied that it involved secret designs on the British settlements in that quarter?
3881The dear Dauphin said to me,''You will not go away again, I hope, Princess?
3881What sort of a man was he?"
3881Who that is false to his God can be expected to remain faithful to his Sovereign?
3881Why did he not consult me before he took a step so important?
3881Would not confidence have created confidence, and the breach have been less wide between the King and his people?
3881doubt my fidelity?"
3881exclaimed Her Majesty in the course of this conversation,"am I born to be the misfortune of every one who shows an interest in serving me?
3881exclaimed Her Majesty,"Am I not the crow of evil forebodings?
3881exclaimed the Princesse Elizabeth, can that be possible, after the King has accepted the Constitution?''
3881why am I not animated with the courage of Maria Theresa?
7558will it be yesterday over again?
3880''Against what?'' 3880 ''But what answer,''said I,''does Your Majesty wish me to return to the deputy''s request for a private audience?''
3880''Pray what are they, please Your Majesty?'' 3880 ''What answer?''
3880''Where,''said he, I did you procure this?'' 3880 ''Who got it for you?''
3880''Who,''continued His Highness,''caused that infernal comedy,''Le Mariage de Figaro'', to be brought out, but the party of the Duchesse de Polignac? 3880 ''Why, what do you call a fellow who sent arms to the Americans before the war was declared, without his Sovereign''s consent?''
3880Is there anything on earth more natural than the lively interest which inspires a mother towards those who have the care of her offspring? 3880 ''I am terrified at Your Majesty''s mistake''--''Comment? 3880 ''Vat make you so frightful, my dear lady?'' 3880 --but who will''compatire''( make allowance for) her folly? 3880 And what has been the consequence of Her Majesty''s ungovernable partiality for these De Polignacs?'' 3880 Are not the sentiments of the Duchesses sister- in- law, the Comtesse Diane, in direct opposition to the absolute monarchy? 3880 Are these the prerogatives with which he flattered the King? 3880 But at that time, when France was threatened by its great convulsion, where is the genius which might not have committed itself? 3880 But can the Duchess answer for the same sincerity towards the Queen, with respect to her innumerable guests? 3880 Do they wish to imitate the English Revolution of 1648, and reproduce the sanguinary times of the unfortunate and weak Charles the First? 3880 For example,''les culottes''--what do you call them?'' 3880 Has she not always been an enthusiastic advocate for all those that have supported the American war? 3880 Is it not from the same sentiment that she roused the jealousy of the Comtesse d''Artois against Her Majesty?'' 3880 Who was it that crowned, at a public assembly, the democratical straight hairs of Dr. Franklin? 3880 Who was''capa turpa''in applauding the men who were framing the American Constitution at Paris? 3880 Why withdraw her former confidence from the Comte d''Artois, when she lives in the society which promulgates antimonarchical principles? 3880 Why, then, refuse to see me? 3880 did you no tell me just now, dat in England de lady call les culottesirresistibles"?''
3880how can they be called small clothes for one large man?
48185Where was that? 48185 Where were we?
48185At Haudromont farm or Chapelle Sainte- Fine?
48185At Mort- Homme or Froideterre?
48185Could they still hope?
48185He goes on his way continuing his rounds"How goes it?"
48185He leans over one of these pits of darkness, for the night was pitch black, and in a low voice so that the enemy may not hear asks:"How goes it?".
48185How were the foot soldiers of the 137th buried alive?
48185In the enemy''s lines or our own?
48185Was this choice of ground as paradoxical as it has been said?
48185Were they to undergo the devastation of a bombardment?
48185Were we going to be blown up?
48185What had become of my posts?
48185What had happened during these four hours?
48185Why was Douaumont fort almost unmanned?
42954''Pink flannel?
42954''Que est ce qu''il y a?
42954''What for you, madam?''
42954A workman passing says to a girl leaning out of a low latticed window:''C''est bon le soleil?''
42954And the images in the churches-- do you mean to say that they have no influence for good on the people?
42954Est- ce vraiment la petite Dorothé?''
42954How is it that one dislikes one''s own countrymen abroad so much?
42954How many yards?--one, two, three?
42954Is it climatic-- this soothing influence-- or is it the outcome of a spell woven over beautiful Pont- Aven by some good- natured fairy long ago?
42954Is n''t that marvellous?
42954Is n''t that quality if you like?
42954Of what avail is it to attempt to read the mystery of these silent Celtic giants?
42954On one occasion, airing his English, he said,''Vill you pass ze vutter?''
42954Should they provide the porter with a blade of straw wherewith to light the engines?
42954Then to a man:''Trousering, my lord?
42954What chance would a prisoner have?
42954What was my name?
42954Who is to say that the image of that patient, suffering Saviour is not an influence for good in the village?
42954Who was I?
42954Who would have imagined that this woman of the salons, fêted in Paris, and known everywhere, would be always longing for her country home?
42954Who would have known that one of them was a boy?
42954personne en veux plus?
3843And if the Court should refuse this proposition at present, will they not be of another mind before two months are at an end? 3843 Are we not now masters both of the Court and Parliament?"
3843If Spain should be worse than her word with respect to the expulsion of Mazarin, what will become of us? 3843 It shall not be taken,"he said,"like Dunkirk, by mines and storming; but suppose its bread from Gonesse should be cut off for eight days only?"
3843The citizens? 3843 What difficulties?"
3843What do you think of that?
3843Who will be with them?
3843Will you promise it?
3843After a little pause, he said,"But now, to be serious, would you be so foolish as to embark with those men?"
3843And if we divest the Parliament of its authority, into what an abyss of disorders shall we not precipitate Paris?
3843And is the army of the Prince de Conde in a condition to engage that of Spain and ours in conjunction with that of M. de Turenne?
3843And will the honour of our contributing to the general peace atone for the preservation of a minister to get rid of whom they took up arms?
3843Are there many that have done as you and I, monsieur, who sent our plate to the mint?
3843Are there not excuses and appearances ready at hand, and such as can not fail?
3843But why need we go abroad for examples when we have so many at home?
3843But, besides, has he any likelihood of succeeding?
3843But, on the other hand, if we do not raise the people, will the Parliament ever believe we can?
3843Had not I, then, reason for saying that it did not become an honest man to be on bad terms with the Court at that time of day?
3843He was nettled at my smile, and said to me in aloud tone,"Do you know whom you talk to?
3843I am willing to think that the Court, seeing to what an extremity they are reduced, will comply, than which what can be more for our honour?
3843I said in answer,"Would you think there are people vile enough to report that the Prince de Conti is come hither by concert with the Prince de Conde?"
3843If he should succeed, will the State be a gainer by it, according to its only true maxims?
3843If the people are so tired already, what will they be long before they come to their journey''s end?
3843Is a little more or less heat in Parliamentary proceedings sufficient reason to make you alter it?
3843Is he not loaded with the odium and contempt of the public?
3843Is it possible that you can not comprehend what he has been preaching to you for these last three days?"
3843Is not the Queen told every day that none are for the Parliament but hired mobs, and that all the wealthy burghers are in her Majesty''s interests?
3843May not the Court to- morrow put an end to the civil war by the expulsion of Mazarin and by raising the siege of Paris?
3843One would have thought that the barricades should have convinced them; but have they been convinced?
3843Pray, monsieur, considering your reputation and capacity, who can pretend to act this part with more dignity, than yourself?
3843The Cardinal answered,"Well, M. Guitaut, what would you have us do?"
3843Then turning to me, he said,"What, monsieur, will you refuse entrance to your sovereign''s herald upon the most trifling pretexts?"
3843This being the case, in what a condition shall we be the next day after we have made and procured this general peace?
3843We can make the people rise to- morrow if we please; but ought we to attempt it?
3843We should indeed have the honour of it, but would this honour screen us against the hatred and curses of the Court?
3843What we are now doing might undeceive them effectually; but are they yet cured of their infatuation?
3843Will not the provinces, which are already hesitating, then declare in our favour?
3843Will they come out to give battle?"
3843Would it be an advantage to the Princes of the blood in any sense?
3843Would the house of Austria take up arms again to rescue you and me from a prison?
3843and is not the Parliament the idol they revere?
3843he replied;"will you be there yourself?"
3843madame, would you have the Coadjutor, for our sakes only, run the risk of being no more than chaplain to Fuensaldagne?
3843she suddenly exclaimed,"will you not get that rogue Beautru soundly thrashed, who has paid so little respect to your character?
3554Bourrienne,said he,"can you imagine anything more pitiable than their system of finance?
3554Do you know, Bourrienne,said he,"that I have been performing the duties of professor?"
3554Has my wife been saying anything more to you about the Bourbons?
3554Have you not read your bulletin?
3554Have you read this bulletin?
3554Well and had you not the resource of weak states? 3554 What are you doing there, Bourrienne?
3554Where have you been?
3554--"Do you imagine I do not think of it?
3554--"General, need I remind you that Louis, in his letter, guarantees the contrary of all you apprehend?
3554--"How the devil should I know?"
3554--"I, General?
3554--"Nay, that is impossible."--"Why?"
3554--"Well, Bourrienne, what do you say to it?
3554--"Well, General, why not take means to obviate the mischief you foresee?"
3554--"What is it?"
3554After this, what more can be wanted?
3554Are you satisfied?"
3554At another time he would say,"Your dress is none of the cleanest..... Do you ever change your gown?
3554Bonaparte, on seeing the pearls, did not fail to say to Madame,"What is it you have got there?
3554But are there no means of making them refund?
3554But why did he wish to stamp false initials on things with which neither he nor his reign had any connection; as, for example the old Louvre?
3554But why?
3554Can it for a moment be doubted that the principal agents of authority daily committed the most fraudulent peculations?
3554Can you see how far reaction would extend?"
3554Citizen, what say they of Bonaparte?
3554Could it ever have been imagined that the correspondence of the army, to whom he addressed this proclamation, teemed with accusations against him?
3554Could there be a greater proof of the Consul''s horror of tyranny?
3554Did he do well?
3554Did you ever know men rise by their own merit under kings?
3554Do n''t you think we have not worked badly since that time?
3554Do you imagine that all those who came to flatter me were sincere?
3554Do you not read them?
3554Do you recollect the necklace?"
3554Do you remember what you said to me in the Rue St. Anne nearly two years ago?"
3554Do you think I would have left you alone with a man like that?
3554Have they not actually consumed 75,000,000 in advance?
3554He showed me this letter, saying,"What do you think of it?
3554How shall I be sure that you will not compromise other persons equally unjustly?
3554How was she to wear a necklace purchased without her husband''s knowledge?
3554I asked Josephine whether she wore out two hats in one day?
3554I know what will be your answer; but are you not able to impose whatever conditions you may think fit?
3554I was directed to answer,"The First Consul,"to the sentinel''s challenge of,"Who goes there?"
3554Is he still here?"
3554Tell me why you wish the Bourbons back?
3554Was not this opinion of Bonaparte, formed on the past, fully verified by the future?
3554Was not this well done, Bourrienne?
3554Well, whom do you think I mean to appoint in his place?
3554What do people say of that buffoon, Bonaparte?"
3554What do you think I did at the Temple?
3554What respect, indeed, could Bonaparte entertain for the applicants to the treasury of the opera?
3554What should he have cared for the column which we beheld on our arrival in Alexandria had it not been Pompey''s pillar?
3554What was to be done?
3554What will become of us when you are gone?
3554What would have ensued?
3554When Bonaparte returned to his cabinet he said to Rapp,"Tell me, Rapp, why you left these doors open, and stopped with Bourrienne?"
3554When I had examined it I said,"General, it has been due for a long time; why have you not got it paid?
3554When he looked at them he said,"Here is money-- what is the meaning of this?"
3554Where did you get these pearls?
3554Who but a thorough Republican, the stanch friend of equality, would have done this?
3554Who could help being intoxicated by so much enthusiasm?
3554Who would suppose it?
3554Who, in Heaven''s name, has not already inhabited this palace?
3554Yet what was this liberty?
3554You talk of the future; but what will be the future fate of France?
3554carried off?
3554how could you send me such reports as these?
3554how?"
3554is it not good?
3554was it not in your power to let them escape?"
14289Am I a dog to be beaten to death in the street? 14289 And who will command, if you go?"
14289Do you think it will take us to the English coast? 14289 How could I divorce this good wife,"he said to Roederer,"because I am becoming great?"
14289In what capacity?
14289What are your plans for giving water to Paris?
14289''Why, First Consul?''
14289''Why, then, these armaments?
14289--"Whence do you get your grain, cloth, and iron?"
14289After this, how could hero- worship subsist?
14289Against whom these measures of precaution?
14289All his features, particularly his mouth and nose, fine, sharp, defined, and expressive beyond description; expressive of what?
14289And for what?
14289And what more can be said on behalf of a ruler at the end of a bloody revolution?
14289And would not the hopes of national freedom and of emancipation from feudal imposts fire these peoples with zeal for the French cause?
14289And, if so, did the men of 1789 follow them by practical methods?
14289Are my murderers sacred beings?
14289As a retort to the tongue- fencers, what could be better?
14289At once he rode up to the First Consul; and if vague rumours may be credited, he was met by the eager question:"Well, what do you think of it?"
14289But how came he to receive the military authority which was so potently to influence the course of events?
14289But is he not tormented by all the daggers of the furies?"
14289But of what avail are private remonstrances when in open session opponents are dumb and supporters vie in adulation?
14289But what have divine laws to do with a purely human affair?
14289But what shall we say of his sense of imperial diplomacy?
14289But who could work it?
14289Can this be called evidence?]
14289Could the man who had bartered away Venetia and seized Malta and Egypt be fitly looked upon as the sacred''r peacemaker?
14289Did Bonaparte originate the plan of attack?
14289Did Napoleon foresee a similar result?
14289Did his past power in Italy and Egypt warrant the belief that he would abandon the peninsula and the new colony?
14289Did the Pitt Ministry intend to betray the confidence of the French royalists and keep Toulon for England?
14289Do not all his references to his star occur in proclamations and addresses intended for popular consumption?
14289Finally,"he asked,"why should not the mistress of the seas and the mistress of the land come to an arrangement and govern the world?"
14289For the conquest of Constantinople or of India?
14289For the exercise of all these gifts what land was so fitted as the mosaic of States which was dignified with the name of Italy?
14289For the rest, is it credible that this analyzing genius could ever have seriously adopted the astrologer''s creed?
14289Have we not destroyed the Knights of Malta, because those fools believed it to be God''s will to war against Moslems?"
14289How came he to outgrow the insular patriotism of his early years?
14289How could he keep the Austrians quiet while envoys passed between Turin and Paris?
14289How should the brain of the body politic, that is, the Legislature, be connected with the hand, that is, the Executive?
14289Is there anything in his early note- books or later correspondence which warrants such a belief?
14289Might not such an impulse be imparted by the French Revolution?
14289Moreover, if this were the object, why was not the flank move of the French cavalry above Lodi pushed home earlier in the fight?
14289Or did he merely carry out orders as a subordinate?
14289Or did he throw his weight and influence into a scheme that others beside him had designed?
14289Or did the hope of striking a blow for Corsica stay his suicidal hand?
14289Réal''s first words, on hearing this unexpected news, were:"How is that possible?
14289Soldiers of the Army of Italy, will you lack courage?"
14289The Government counted for little or nothing; for was it not the symbol of the detested foreign rule?
14289To mix with Kings in the low lust of sway, Yell in the hunt and join the murderous prey?
14289Was it now to be provisioned, in order that the Directory might barter away the Cispadane Republic?
14289Were not the appeals to Austria and England merely a skillful device to gain time?
14289Were the lofty aims and aspirations of the Revolution attainable?
14289What could he now do with these 2,500 or 3,000 prisoners?
14289What is the end of Cromwell?
14289What then had been lacking?
14289What then remained after these and many other disappointments?
14289Who deserved to enjoy power?
14289Who had won power?
14289Who then so fitted as he to approach the victor of Hohenlinden?
14289Why also had the grave been dug beforehand?
14289Why also was his countenance the only one that afterwards showed no remorse or grief?
14289Why did he shut himself up in his private room on March 20th, so that even Josephine had difficulty in gaining entrance?
14289Why did she accept the armed help of 1,600 French royalists?
14289Why did she admit, not only 6,900 Spaniards, but also 4,900 Neapolitans and 1,600 Piedmontese?
14289Why did she urgently plead with Austria to send 5,000 white- coats from Milan?
14289Why should Joseph speak of_ his_ rights and_ his_ interests?
14289Why this neglect if she wished to settle matters?]
14289Why was I not warned that they were assembling at Ettenheim?
14289Why, finally, were Savary and Réal not disgraced?
14289Witness this crushing retort to M. Mathieu:"What is your Theophilanthropy?
14289[ 28] Besides, if England meant to keep Toulon, why did she send only 2,200 soldiers?
14289de Colombier lure him back to life?
14289would require for the expenses of the war-- such as Corsica or some of the French West Indies?

43831Oh, but is n''t it stupid of me?"

57185He said to Löwenstern,"How goes it with Barclay?

57185Our army lost in them its pillars and supports... and what are all our other generals worth beside them?"

28169Who are you who address me thus? 28169 Why is this?"
28169--"What can you hope from the people now in power?"
28169--"Who do you call yours?"
28169Again, in the event of a dissolution, would the King be more certain of a majority?
28169An aide- de- camp of_ Monsieur_ said to me,''Viscount, I scarcely hoped to see you here; have you received no communication?''
28169And if we are not to trust them, how are we to supply ourselves with information?
28169And what, after all, was the cause?
28169Are we better informed or more fortunate than Sir Walter Raleigh?
28169Are you a staunch advocate for constitutional government and political guarantees?
28169Besides, what interest have we in compelling the King to make a stand?
28169But can it be true that such important knowledge is entirely interdicted to us?--that in what we can acquire, all is a subject of doubt and error?
28169But how could we have escaped this rock?
28169By what institutions could the control and influence of the nation in its government be exercised?
28169Did he entertain the hope of treating with and dividing the Coalition?
28169Do you wish to live and act in co- operation with the party which hoists this standard?
28169Does the mind only enlighten itself to increase its wavering?
28169From what institution was it expected?
28169From whence proceeded the rudeness of this dismissal?
28169Gentlemen, has this happened?
28169Has it been exercised with activity, energy, confidence, and efficacy?
28169Has it exercised it skilfully, and increased it in the exercise?
28169Has power strengthened itself within the last seven months?
28169Have you observed that no one seems to have comprehended its design?
28169How could it be replaced?
28169How could she maintain her power?
28169How could they repulse the blow with which Royalty menaced the existing institutions, without inflicting on Royalty a mortal wound in return?
28169How is a Cabinet to be composed?
28169How was it possible not to cherish this hope?
28169I answered,''No; what am I likely to receive?''
28169I have demanded at your hands the restitution of my work: am I to hope that it will be restored?
28169If Cæsar, Sallust, or Tacitus have only been able to transmit doubtful and imperfect notions, can we rely on what they relate?
28169Is it possible to submit to your rod with more ingenuousness?
28169Must we learn to become Greeks, Romans, or Barbarians, in order to understand these Romans, Barbarians, or Greeks, before we venture to judge them?
28169O grave, where is thy victory?"
28169Shall we be enabled to draw up these bills in such a manner as to convince the Session and the world that malevolent opposition alone can defeat them?
28169The latter demanded in whom they could have confidence with regard to the French question, and with whom they should treat in such a crisis?
28169Through what channels was it sought?
28169To avoid resistance and contest, would the following plan be available?
28169Was not the study of astronomy for a long time directed to the dreams of astrology?
28169What becomes then of my reign of eleven years?
28169What course would he propose to himself?
28169What did we understand by it?
28169What has the actual Ministry done with that moral ascendency which belongs naturally, without premeditation or labour, to the King''s government?
28169What measures would he adopt?
28169What sovereign could refuse the pardon, of which he has given a glimpse to the condemned criminal?
28169What then are we to seek and find in the darkness of the past, which thickens as it recedes from us?
28169What was, in reality, the end which the leaders of the party, apparently on the very verge of success, proposed to themselves?
28169What were to be the guarantees of liberty, and consequently of all the interests which liberty itself was intended to guarantee?
28169What will be the end of all this?
28169What will this new bill be?
28169What would be the fruit of this as regarded himself?
28169What would become of the revolutionary cause and its partisans under the second Restoration, now imminently approaching?
28169What would even be the fate of this second Restoration if it could not govern and uphold itself better than its predecessor?
28169Where do you wish me to look for the elements of that aristocracy which the peerage demands?...
28169Which of the two would profit most by the electoral services derived from the society of_ Aide- toi, le Ciel t''aidera_?
28169Which of these two principles provokes or even permits the exclusive supremacy of the middle classes?
28169Who has ever fancied that the trees ought to be red instead of green, or found fault with the sun of today for resembling the sun of yesterday?
28169Who will succeed them?
28169Why talk to me of innate virtue, of abstract justice, of natural laws?
28169Will it be said that the King is not more certain of a majority after the proposed reduction than at present?
28169Will the Ministers endeavour to hold place?
28169Will they retire partially or all together?
28169With generous irony, he replied to those who objected to me as a Protestant,"Do you think I intend to make him Pope?"
28169Would his advice be taken, and his co- operation be accepted?
28169Would it not imply that I am the inventor of this style?
28169Would the Abbé de Montesquiou and M. de Blacas still be his rivals?
28169Would time be given for this difficult undertaking?
28169and by what restrictions, conformable to the nature of these causes, can we modify without destroying its freedom?
28169and how shall we gradually remove these qualifications, for the present considered necessary?
28169have you exhausted their efficacy?''
28169replied M. Royer- Collard, in the same tone,"make yourself a Count?"
28169that it has been hitherto unheard of, and is singular and new?
28169the middle classes, elevated to their rights, or the privileged orders of earlier times?
28169the victors or the vanquished of 1789?
3876Do you remember the driver of the fiacre? 3876 Doctor, can you get me any of it?"
3876How is Madame de Pompadour?
3876That is his way,said she;"but do not those children appear made for each other?
3876Well, what think you of the part I am playing?
3876What do you say to them?
3876What is the matter?
3876Who are those two noblemen?
3876You will take care of the accouchee, will you not? 3876 --And the young lady?"
3876--"And what does he advise?"
3876--"At what?"
3876--"But they go too far,"said Mirabeau;"why openly attack religion?"
3876--"Did the King,"said I,"show her particular attention?"
3876--"Is he not just about to be made Cardinal?"
3876--"Is it possible, Madame, that you can have been rendered uneasy by such a creature as that?"
3876--"What do you think of it?"
3876--"What, is there really that, Doctor?"
3876--"What, sir,"said my relation,"the Marquise''s equerry of a princely house?"
3876--"Why does he enjoy so much consideration?"
3876--"Yes, Madame; but it was not I who denounced it?"
3876--''But do not the King''s justice and kindness set you at ease?''
3876At these words, my cousin looked very much astonished, and said,"Was he not right?"
3876At this moment the Lieutenant of Police entered, and Madame said to him,"Have you seen M. de Mirabeau''s book?"
3876Besides, who could so immediately have invented it?
3876Do you know her joke on the nomination of Moras?
3876Do you know what he said to me to- day?
3876He stopped, and added,"Do n''t you think I am a little like the curate and the barber burning Don Quixote''s romances?"
3876I asked Madame, if the young lady knew that the King was the father of her child?
3876I took the liberty to say,"But is it not more likely from his young ladies at the Parc, that he learns these elegant expressions?
3876Is it not saying to him, I despise your gifts?
3876Is not all this mere empty air?
3876Is not this insulting Faraki?
3876Is this report founded on truth?
3876One evening, towards midnight, a bat flew into the apartment where the Court was; the King immediately cried out,"Where is General Crillon?"
3876She said to me,"How is the Count?"
3876Tell me who, of all the men who come hither, receives the greatest attentions?"
3876This set everybody calling out,"Ou etais tu, Crillon?"
3876What would be said of a father who got rid of the charge of his children as of a burthen?
3876When I told this to Madame, she burst into tears, and said,"Is that a friend?"
3876While she was at the door, she cried out,"What are all those trunks, Madame?
3876Would a corrupted Parliament have braved the fury of the League, in order to preserve the crown for the legitimate sovereign?
44913Surely that was not too much to grant to their defender?
44913But what does it matter?
44913Shall we at their bidding turn, Fearful of their aspect stern?
44913The Bishop grew pale, the calumniators slunk away, and St. Goar, turning to the Bishop, said,"Perceivest thou not thy duty?
44913Time moves on and brings us to eternity; therefore, is it not well for man that Nature warns him of the lapse of Time?
44913What can I do for thee?"
44913While the whole earth and sky teem with glory and beauty, are we to believe that these things may not be enjoyed?
44913Who can say, I shall see spring again?
44913Who shall dare aspire to the central heaven itself?
44913[ 7] Query, Was this the origin of taking French leave?
44913he cried out;"how darest thou speak to this Bastard?"
44913replied she;"what brings your honourable and ever- to- be- delighted- in presence to the door of my humble abode?"
44913then tell to this gallant assembly, what is the sacred and characteristic mark of that place?"
44913they called out the names of any of their unmarried friends with the following words,"Qui donne- t- on à M----?"
44913who will join me in my voyage for the honour of God and the Holy Tomb?"
44913who will risk with me the voyage to the Holy Tomb?"
52706Beautiful?
52706Ca n''t even you see that?
52706Do you get much inspiration here?
52706How''s art?
52706Then if you were to put the blue and white jar on the right of the Buddha, instead of on the left,I asked,"the whole room would feel the shock?"
52706You have nothing to do to- night, then?
52706Ah, yes, with whom?
52706As long as the question asked is"Is it art?"
52706Is that all?"
52706It is true the seats were filled, but with whom?
52706That''s pretty good for my first two years abroad, is n''t it?"
52706That''s pretty good for my first year, is it not?
52706When did you come?"
52706and not"Will it sell?"
52706and"Is it popular?"
47537Is not England a standing witness to the truth of your ideas? 47537 What of it?"
47537Why,he asks, with that strange recurrent smile of his,"why should one laugh at such an ambition?
47537Am I never again to breathe the air of the Entresol?
47537Had Frederick deserved the fate to which the French Council were ready to abandon him?
47537In a word, what shall I tell you?
47537In the first place: Was it just?
47537Me voilà- t- il pas bientôt assez à parler en mari fort supérieur d''âge?
47537Was it wise?
47537Why should not theoretic knowledge be as useful to society in general as to societies in particular?
47537Why was it, it may be asked, that what had once been an inexhaustible source of strength had become a fatal element of weakness?
47537Why, it may be asked, was this offer not accepted?
47537Wo n''t you be charmed with it when you are at Paris this summer?"
47537Would you ever have believed that anything so innocent could fall under suspicion?
47537how could he help it?"
47537janvier, 1733, et le?
47537that Parlement of yours, has it any troops?
47537what of it?
3877Are there any persons about the Court likely to become mad?
3877I have just had a strange adventure,said he:"would you believe that, in going out of my wardroom into my bedroom, I met a gentleman face to face?"
3877Is that lady ill?
3877She came, then, to beg for some assistance?
3877Was the Court of Francis I. very brilliant?
3877What did she come for, then?
3877What is all this, Count?
3877Why,said she,"is the Marquise so violent an enemy to the Jesuits?
3877''How can you know that, supposing it to be the fact?''
3877''What can I do?''
3877''What do you do here?''
3877--"And the Constable,"said Madame,"what do you say of him?"
3877--"How do you mean?"
3877--"I forgot,"replied Madame,"that the Duke said,''I want extremely to be in the fashion, but which sister shall I take up?
3877--"I have the honour of knowing him, then, Madame?"
3877--"What absurdity now?"
3877--"What do you mean?"
3877--"You prove that?"
3877--''What can come of them,''said she,''that need seriously disquiet Your Majesty?
3877A moment after, M. de Gontaut came in and said,"D''Amblimont, who shall have the Swiss guards?"
3877Are you not master of the Parliaments, as well as of all the rest of the kingdom?''
3877But,"said the King,"what do you think is the amount?"
3877Do you see that ship on the high sea?
3877Do you want to play the''bel esprit'', my dear good woman?
3877Duclos resumed:"Well,"said he,"do you know the story of M. de C-----?
3877If the King had come up while we were there, do you think he would have recognised us?"
3877Madame said,"When shall I die, and of what disease?"
3877Mademoiselle Romans said to me,"Do you live in this neighbourhood?"
3877One day, at her toilet, Madame said to him, in my presence,"What was the personal appearance of Francis I.?
3877The King laughed, and said,"Whose fine verses are those?"
3877There, do you see these little bags?
3877What alterations would it be necessary to make in me, now, to render it impossible to recognise me?"
3877What does the public say of it?
3877What would the good prelate say if he knew that I shared my last quarter''s allowance with a charming little opera- dancer?
3877Will you try to put a hundred and sixty louis into my pocket?"
3877because he has a good- natured air, and a bourgeois tone?
3877is Duclos an acquaintance of yours?
3877what do I see?
3877who is he that persecutes them?
40699And are they good children?
40699And is she so wicked?
40699And were you afraid of it?
40699And why kill the poor creature, Sophie? 40699 But, Suzette, what have you there?"
40699Have they said their prayers?
40699Have you said them this morning?
40699My dears,she would say, leaning forward to look at their black robes,"are n''t these dresses getting rather shabby?
40699What''s this?
40699Why not, dear?
40699Will you shoe my horse, good friends?
40699You are sure I have not hurt you, darling?
40699You love your little sister, do n''t you, my darling?
40699You think? 40699 _ Maman_--is_ bonne maman_ very ill?"
40699And this is the poem that was sent with the purse:"Vous voulez jeune Princesse Que je me rends près de vous?
40699At this point in the story I always cried out:"But,_ Monsieur le Curé_, did it not hurt the poor horse to have its legs unscrewed?"
40699Did this milk come from the yellow?
40699Do n''t you want to come with me?"
40699Do you say your prayers?"
40699Famines had come before this, said Jules, so why not again?
40699Great earthenware pans of milk stood on the wide shelves of her dairy, and when_ maman_ came to see her she would say,"May I go into the dairy, Rose?"
40699Has n''t the time come for new ones?"
40699Have n''t you a watch, then?"
40699Her first question was sure to be,"Are you hungry?"
40699One day he must have seen how much I longed for it, for he said, holding out the slice,"_ Demoiselle, en veux- tu_?"
40699Que je baise de votre altesse Les pieds, les mains, et les genoux?
40699Why give oneself so much trouble for nothing?"
40699Why not?"
40699You can well afford that, ca n''t you?
40699You understand me, do n''t you, Sophie?
40699[ Illustration:"_ Maman_ wrote secretly to_ bon papa_ in Paris"]"But why not, Sophie?
43209But you have a camera; is n''t that enough? 43209 Have I the pleasure of addressing Madame Bazin?"
43209Indeed,I remarked, with every evidence of surprise,"and who got hold of the feather first?"
43209Then, of course, you must have known the noted village character Father Adam, who sold his donkey to this Scottish traveller?
43209These gentlemen travel for pleasure?
43209Well?
43209What shall I say of Clarisse?
43209--R. L. S.] If his descent was thus, how much more so ours on our whirling wheels?
43209Did he know Stevenson?
43209L. S.] Is that not a lovely monument to have?
43209Perhaps the Bazins knew how much I liked them?
43209Perhaps they also were healed of some slights by the thanks that I gave them in my manner?"
43209The bill?
43209Thus, under the representation of Christ falling while bearing His cross we read:"Who is it that causes Jesus to fall a second time?
43209We knew, of course, what Stevenson had said of her?
43209What is he to say that will not be an anti- climax?"
43209What will you?
43209What would you in such a case?
43209Would we care to see her photograph?
43209Yet he was ever an adventurer in search of beauty, and who shall say his quest was vain?
43209Yet not always the same, for where was M. Bonnaire?
43209is that life?"
43209or"Watter, richt on?"
56211D---- you, for a fool,he said;"what sort of a shot do you call that?
56211Do you think you could find it?
56211Hallo,he said,"why Harris, old boy,_ you_ are not going to begin, are you?"
56211Hallo?
56211More luck and grace to you,said Mc Lauchlan;"and it''s that you''re maning, is it?"
56211Walcheren,he inquired,"eh?"
56211What age are you, Rifleman?
56211What have you got there, sir?
56211What trade have you been of?
56211Where have you been?
56211Why do n''t they come on like men,they cried,"whilst we''ve strength left in us to fight them?"
56211At length Captain Leech observed her, and called out to the company,"Does any man here know what has happened to Cochan?
56211Do you think you are fighting here with your fists, that you are running into the teeth of the French?"
56211Men began to look into each other''s faces, and ask the question"Are we ever to be halted again?"
56211Musther Hills,"I heard him say,"where the d--- l is this you''re taking us to?"
56211Rifleman,"he said,"how came you here?"
56211What have you done for him?"
56211do you remember what happened to me at Salamanca?"
56211he said, as he grasped hold of me,"who the h- ll do you think is to stay humbugging all day for such a fellow as you?"
56211looking for money, my lad,"said he,"eh?"
56211no shoes, Harris, I see, eh?"
3553Did he speak about Egypt?
3553Have you seen him, Bourrienne?
3553Sieyès, however, is a very profound man.--"Profound?"
3553What did you go there for?
3553What matters that? 3553 What will become of me,"said he,"if the English, who are cruising hereabout, should learn that I have landed in Corsica?
3553What would you have, my dear?
3553You are, then, decidedly going to Asia?
3553--"A Chouan?"
3553--"But are you sure he is against you?"
3553--"What can all this mean?"
3553--"Why should I be in uniform?"
3553And at what a time did this disaster befall him?
3553And was this not to be obtained?
3553And why should he have done so?
3553And, finally, what must be done with them when under the ramparts of that town, if we should be able to take them there?
3553As for me, have I not, I ask you, made sufficient advances to him?
3553As he was an eyewitness, why does he not state the whole truth, and say that on her return Bonaparte refused to see her and did not see her?
3553As we passed the Place Louis XV., now Louis XVI., he asked me what was doing, and what my opinion was as to the coming events?
3553But what did Napoleon himself say on the subject at St. Helena?
3553Could it be done?
3553Could they be incorporated, disarmed, with our soldiers in the ranks?
3553Could we even tell what might occur during the march?
3553Do you know what passed when I took him aside?
3553Finding me still alone with the sentinel, he asked me, smiling,"whether I had not been frightened?"
3553General, what security would you have?"
3553Have I food for them?--ships to convey them to Egypt or France?
3553Have not the keys of Damascus already been offered me?
3553How then should the news alluded to have escaped me?
3553I asked him to give me his word that he would do nothing against me; what do you think was his answer?"
3553I have kept no memoranda of their names; and indeed, what advantage would there have been in doing so?
3553If the infected were removed, why not mention it?
3553Instead of giving an explanation of what he had said, he began to make fresh accusations; and against whom?
3553Is Fortune to be again brought forward here?
3553Is history to be written from such documents?
3553It was then asked how we could, without that consent, have attempted such an enterprise?
3553One day, after a long pause, he said to me:"Do you know what I am thinking of?"
3553Should the prisoners be set at liberty?
3553Should they be embarked?
3553Should they be sent into Egypt?
3553This boasting might impose on those who did not see the real state of things; but what were we to think of it?
3553What did Bernadotte do?
3553What do you think of that, Bourrienne?"
3553What do you want me to do with them?"
3553What is a Christian dog to a Turk?
3553What might happen in the event of a battle before St. Jean d''Acre?
3553What more could we do in Syria but lose men and time, neither of which the General had to spare?
3553What would he do with me?
3553When I returned to the tent of the General- in- Chief he asked,"How is Caffarelli?"
3553When we were alone the General said to me,"Well, what do you think of that?"
3553Where had they disembarked, who had received them; what had been done with them?
3553Where were the ships?--Where could they be found?
3553Who could grant them?
3553Why be silent on so important an event?
3553Why then should it be put upon record?
3553Why this silence?
3553Why, in the devil''s name, have they served me thus?"
3553With this conviction, would he have left the head apothecary in that town?
3553Would it be believed?
3553Would you believe it?
3553Would you imagine it?
3553[ 31]--[Here Bourrienne says in a note"Where did Sir Walter Scott learn that we were neither seen nor recognised?
3553do you not see that the Druses only wait for the fall of Acre to rise in rebellion?
3553to wish to hear that preface?
3553what are you about?"
3553would you believe it?
9975I rang up a friend on the telephone, and began, as usual:''Hullo, is that you?'' 9975 What nation could be more fitted than the United States to take the lead in the peace negotiations?"
9975Where did you see that?
9975And what if they are?
9975How will she use it?
9975Shall we win?
9975The Belgian authorities asked at the French headquarters:"What shall we do with him?"
9975The maid slyly asked:"Is that the road to Paris?"
9975What if we were yet to be defeated again and again?
58268They then asked me What would be the case if any other Prince of a Royal House were called to the Throne of France? 58268 (?) 58268 ? 58268 Are they and we no longer the same men? 58268 But to whom is she mainly indebted for this proud pre- eminence, this unparalleled grandeur? 58268 Can that force be developed with sufficient rapidity? 58268 Do you solicit the maledictions of Paris, in addition to those of Hamburg? 58268 Instead of this, what happened? 58268 It was about this time( six o''clock) that NAPOLEON replied to NEY''s demand for fresh Infantry,_ Ou voulez vous que j''en prenne? 58268 May not circumstances again lead victorious Armies to the capital? 58268 To NEY''s demand for fresh troops, NAPOLEON therefore replied,--_Ou voulez vous que j''en prenne?
58268Voulez vous que j''en fasse?_ an expression, the force of which is rendered sufficiently obvious by the critical circumstances of his position.
58268What may be the consequences of these events?
58268What, then, might not be achieved by such innate valour-- by such consummate discipline?
58268was likely to satisfy the Allies, and would be such an arrangement as would induce me to stop my operations?
58268what return did they make for this confidence?
3882Oh,replied I,"then I suppose you are not a Jacobin?"
3882Per cio, mia cara Inglesina, speak now, freely and candidly: is it your wish to return to England, or go elsewhere? 3882 What, with the Princesse de Lamballe?
3882At what hour did the King go to the National Assembly?
3882But,"added he,"are you perfectly certain they were not for that detestable Marie Antoinette?"
3882Can Your Majesty pardon my presumption in differing from your royal counsel?
3882Can it be wondered at that her marked grief should be visible when amidst the murderers of her family?
3882Can they imagine they will be spared if the King should be murdered?
3882Did he not, before he went, review the troops?
3882Did you know of the Mayor of Paris being at the Tuileries?
3882Did you not go to the apartments of the King in the course of that night?
3882Did you see the Swiss and National Guards, who passed the night on the terrace?
3882Do you know anything of a barred staircase?
3882Do you know anything of an article of furniture which is making for Madame Elizabeth?
3882Do you know the oath he made them swear?
3882Do you know the secret doors of the Tuileries?
3882Go on, what else have you heard?"
3882Have you any knowledge of cannon being mounted and pointed in the apartments?
3882Have you ever seen Messrs. Mandat and d''Affry in the chateau?
3882Have you not recently received some devotional books?
3882Have you not, since you have been in the Temple, received and written letters, which you sought to send away secretly?
3882How can the Parisians complain that they found her Royal Highness, on her return to France, by no means what they required in a Princess?
3882I foresee the drift of all these commotions, and am resigned; but what will become of this misguided nation, when the head of it shall be destroyed?''
3882Must he even satiate his barbarous brutality with being an eye- witness of the horrid state into which he has thrown us?
3882On passing the gate, I was accosted by a person who exclaimed in a tone of great kindness,"Qu''as tu, ma bonne?
3882Then turning to me,"When,"said he,"did you leave Paris?"
3882Then, turning suddenly to me, she asked with eagerness,"Do you not think she will?
3882To the second, how can I accede?
3882Was the King in his apartment when you went thither?
3882Were you in bed on the nights of the 9th and 10th?
3882What are the books which you have at the Temple?
3882What do you know of the events which occurred on the 10th of August?
3882What general officers did you see at the Tuileries, on the nights of the 9th and 10th?
3882What said he when one of the heterogeneous, plebeian, revolutionary assemblies not only insulted him, but added to the insult a laugh?
3882When Danton had finished telling her the story, she calmly said to me,"Do you recollect, child, the things you have been robbed of?"
3882When the King observed to him,"What do the French nation want?"
3882Where did you pass that day?
3882Where were you then?
3882Why did she not come to me instead of writing?
3882Why do they not rise en masse to shield the Royal Family from these bloodhounds?
3882Would Charles the Second ever have reigned after the murder of his father had England been torn to pieces by different factions?
3882You were aware, then, that the people had arisen?
3882Your name?
3882cried I,"even though he should be at the Tuileries?"
3882exclaimed Danton;"Did I not tell you this before?"
3882qu''est ce qui vous afflige?"
3882said the Queen,"is he not yet satisfied?
3882why did she not fly to Vienna?
8936But what would the great general have said, could be have seen his citadel thus dwarfed into insignificance by Vauban''s magnificent fortifications?
8936Can anything be more absurd than the differences of rank that divide the population of our provincial towns?
8936How can it be otherwise?
8936In Republican France, now, who can doubt?
8936Is nothing then ever caught in these pleasant streams, will ask the inquiring reader?
8936Or was it our informant who was but half awake or in error?
8936The second amusing, or rather surprising, fact is that of the luxurious, though I venture to say somewhat floridly decorated ladies smoking room?
8936Vos erreurs sont- ils méchants?
8936Were the roads bad, indeed, what would become of them?
8936Were we dreaming?
8936What was the poor girl''s astonishment to find that in Paris everybody was so far accomplished as to be able to read and write?
8936and what would be Vauban''s amazement could he behold the stupendous works of modern strategists?
45479Will you not submit to our holy father, the Pope?
454791. Who Made the Gods?
45479And which of us would like to be guided to the chambers of the inquisition, and the flames of the stake by"heavenly voices"?
45479And why do I take pleasure in proving this to be inevitable?
45479Another important question is: Why was she put to death?
45479But is it just to hold the whole Church responsible for the crime of an insignificant minority?"
45479But was Joan a heretic?
45479But why should the Church move heaven and earth to prove that it has never committed a mistake?
45479But why was it to the interest of the English to have Joan declared a witch?
45479Does it look as though the crime against Joan were the work of a discredited minority in the Catholic Church?
45479Furthermore, if only a part of the church persecuted the young woman, what did the rest of the church do to save her?
45479How could a king, anointed by the help of a witch, be the king of a Christian nation?
45479How do we explain her"voices"and her"visions"?
45479I shall reproduce in this connection what I said about him after my interview with him:"Who are the Rationalists?"
45479If she should repent of a single act ever committed by her officially, she would lose her claim to infallibility-- for how can the infallible err?
45479If, on the other hand, she should hold to her infallibility, how can she be sorry for anything she has ever done?
45479Is not that wonderful?
45479Is not this a pertinent question?
45479Is this denied?
45479Joan was sacrificed, nay,--the honor of France, of Europe, of civilization, of humanity-- was flung into the fire with Joan, to save-- what?
45479The Gospel of Sport-- What Shall I Do to Be Saved?
45479The hands, it is evident, commit the acts, but whose hands are they?
45479Walking up to the woman, I said,"What fountain is this?"
45479Was Jesus a Socialist?
45479What do you think was the motive of this revision?
45479What has Christ Done for the World?
45479What has he done for France?
45479What is the Trouble with the World?
45479Who is he?
45479Why did her voices, if they were divine, desert her when she needed their help most?
45479Why did they not assume the responsibility for the acts for which she was destroyed?
45479Why did they not save her from prison and the stake?
45479Why does St. Michael usurp the place of honor over the altar?
41689Is this proposal too much? 41689 Now, what are the conditions which they call impossible?
41689What conditions would a victorious France have exacted? 41689 And why? 41689 As I was on the point of making the first incision, who should walk up to the operation table but Professor Langenbeck, of Berlin? 41689 As he approached rather timidly, I smiled, and said, to relieve his embarrassment,You are not a Frenchman, I presume?"
41689But again, would the French military admit of our claims to be an International Ambulance?
41689Could any combination of circumstances make such a thing possible?
41689Could this be true?
41689Hence the question arose, what kind of treatment should we receive at the hands of our new masters, when the last of the Germans had quitted Orleans?
41689How could I dream of going out alone to a foreign country, where the fiercest war of the century was raging?
41689How, I often said to myself, could soldiers fight, who were habitually suffering from hunger, cold, and fatigue, like these poor fellows?
41689In this instance the property was ultimately restored to its rightful owner; but, in how many cases is that never done?
41689Shall I ever forget the moment when the_ infirmiers_ came, and that poor young lad, looking me wistfully in the face, read his doom in my silence?
41689Shall I ever see you again, and thank you with my own lips?
41689The challenge now came to us on all sides in French,"_ Qui vive?_"We replied,"_ Deux officiers de l''Ambulance Anglo- Américaine_".
41689The deed, though sanguinary, was not cruel; and where should the wounded find refuge if not under the sacred roof?
41689The greenhouse and conservatories,--who shall tell their ruin?
41689The question was, would it be safe to let us go back when we had been through the camp of the French, and had made observations on their position?
41689There was associated with every individual in this great host of patients an interesting story,--how, when, and where did they receive their wounds?
41689Were they altogether in the wrong?
41689What am I to tell you about my wound?
41689What could a Declaration of Independence do for such feudal enthusiasm as this?
41689What did we get in their place?
41689What had become, meanwhile, of the defeated and entrapped army of prisoners?
41689What has induced him to leave his home and country at such an age?
41689What was the explanation of it?
41689What would these officers have done, had they travelled in the same railway carriage with M. de Rothschild?
41689Who and what was he?
41689Who has given work to the millions of the labouring class throughout France?
41689Who has made Paris one of the most beautiful cities of the world, and the Capital of Europe?
41689Who ruled France when she was the most rich and prosperous of nations, with a trade and commerce more extensive than ever before?"
41689Who shall reckon the number of French dead in the many graves adjacent?
41689Who were we, whence had we come, and whither were we going?
41689Whom have we to thank for these things but the Emperor?
41689Would they, in the flush and the tumult of victory, overlook the fact that we were neutrals, engaged simply in alleviating the horrors of war?
41689or take us prisoners and send us beyond the frontier?
45336Are you then recalled to Poland?
45336Art thou the admiral?
45336Do you pardon your enemies?
45336Good people of Paris,said the Constable on his arrival at their camp,"what meaneth this?
45336Good people,protested Marcel,"why would you do me ill?
45336Is it for a man or a woman?
45336Is it your will?
45336My cure? 45336 Then,"said the king,"why am I asked to abandon it?"
45336What did he die of?
45336What do they take from me?
45336What do you ask?
45336Whither are you carrying that coffin?
45336Who are you?
45336And of the strong city built on the little island in the Seine who could have been its founder but the ravisher of fair Helen-- Sir Paris himself?
45336As she passed the lines of English soldiers, their eyes flashing fierce hatred upon her, a cry escaped her,"O Rouen, Rouen, must I then die here?"
45336As the duke hastened to spoil his victims, crying out--"Where is the archbishop?"
45336As we crossed the courtyard of the palace[23] he said:''Seest thou not what I perceive above this roof?''
45336At length he turned and said:"Know ye, my faithful servants, wherefore I weep thus bitterly?
45336Do they turn to the right?
45336He asked again,''Seest thou naught else?''
45336Louis XIV., who sat to him many times, one day, towards the end of his life, asked,"Do you find me changed?"
45336My life?
45336See you yon lights?
45336Soldiers of Italy, will you lack courage?"
45336Turning to the angels, Jesus said:"Know ye who hath thus arrayed Me?
45336Well may St. Simon exclaim,"Are these princes made like other men?"
45336When he entered Abbeville with the magnificent Duke of Burgundy, the people said"_ Benedicite!_ is that a king of France?
45336Where is the ancient prowess of France?
45336cried Maillart,"what dost thou here at this hour?"
45336must I suffer new trouble every day?"
45336shall I never be in peace?
12967And the Constable,said Madame,"what do you say of him?"
12967And the young lady?
12967And what does he advise?
12967Are there any persons about the Court likely to become mad?
12967But they go too far,said Mirabeau;"why openly attack religion?"
12967But who is it,answered she,"that tells you all this?
12967Did the King,said I,"show her particular attention?"
12967Do you remember the driver of the_ fiacre_? 12967 Doctor, can you get me any of it?"
12967How do you mean?
12967How is Madame de Pompadour?
12967I forgot,replied Madame,"that the Duke said,''I want extremely to be in the fashion, but which sister shall I take up?
12967I have just had a strange adventure,said he:"would you believe that, in going out of my wardroom into my bedroom, I met a gentleman face to face?"
12967I have the honour of knowing him, then, Madame?
12967Is he not just about to be made Cardinal?
12967Is it possible, Madame, that you can have been rendered uneasy by such a creature as that?
12967Is that lady ill?
12967She came, then, to beg for some assistance?
12967That is his way,said she;"but do not those children appear made for each other?
12967Was the Court of Francis I. very brilliant?
12967Well, what think you of the part I am playing?
12967Well,said she,"M. de Seurre, what do you think of all this?"
12967What absurdity now?
12967What did she come for, then?
12967What do you mean?
12967What do you say to them?
12967What do you think of it?
12967What is all this, Count?
12967What is the matter?
12967What, sir,said my relation,"the Marquise''s equerry of a princely house?"
12967Who are those two noblemen?
12967Why does he enjoy so much consideration?
12967Why,said she,"is the Marquise so violent an enemy to the Jesuits?
12967Yes, Madame; but it was not I who denounced it?
12967You prove that?
12967You will take care of the_ accouchée_, will you not? 12967 ''But do not the King''s justice and kindness set you at ease?'' 12967 ''How can you know that, supposing it to be the fact?'' 12967 ''What can I do?'' 12967 ''What can come of them,''said she,''that need seriously disquiet Your Majesty? 12967 ''What do you do here?'' 12967 A moment after, M. de Gontaut came in and said,D''Amblimont, who shall have the Swiss guards?"
12967And can I then be justly said to live?
12967And who knows but they might seek their revenge upon me by taking away your life?
12967Are you not master of the Parliaments, as well as of all the rest of the kingdom?''
12967At these words, my cousin looked very much astonished, and said,"Was he not right?"
12967At this moment the Lieutenant of Police entered, and Madame said to him,"Have you seen M. de Mirabeau''s book?"
12967Besides, who could so immediately have invented it?
12967But what of that?
12967But why name any others?
12967But,"said the King,"what do you think is the amount?"
12967Dead in estate, do I then yet survive?
12967Dixi._"Madame said,"When shall I die, and of what disease?"
12967Do n''t you know any better?
12967Do n''t you think I am as great a rogue as that Simier?"
12967Do you know her joke on the nomination of Moras?
12967Do you know what he said to me to- day?
12967Do you not perceive how dangerous his going will prove to my kingdom?
12967Do you see that arm?"
12967Do you see that ship on the high sea?
12967Do you want to play the_ bel esprit_, my dear good woman?
12967Duclos resumed:"Well,"said he,"do you know the story of M. de C----?
12967Have they ever discoverd any hoards of money here or in the banks of Italy, as has been believed?
12967He added,"Do n''t we daily hear of_ silly D''Argenson_, because he has a good- natured air, and a_ bourgeois_ tone?
12967I asked Madame, if the young lady knew that the King was the father of her child?
12967I took the liberty to say,"But is it not more likely from his young ladies at the Parc, that he learns these elegant expressions?"
12967If the King had come up while we were there, do you think he would have recognised us?"
12967Is it not saying to him, I despise your gifts?
12967Is not all this mere empty air?
12967Is not this insulting Faraki?
12967Is this report founded on truth?
12967Mademoiselle Romans said to me,"Do you live in this neighbourhood?"
12967One day, at her toilet, Madame said to him, in my presence,"What was the personal appearance of Francis I.?
12967One evening, towards midnight, a bat flew into the apartment where the Court was; the King immediately cried out,"Where is General Crillon?"
12967She declares that for a long time she has felt as if she was only four- and- twenty years of age; why do n''t you give some to the King?"
12967She said to me,"How is the Count?"
12967Tell me who, of all the men who come hither, receives the greatest attentions?"
12967The King laughed, and said,"Whose fine verses are those?"
12967The King said,"Why so?
12967This set everybody calling out,"_ Où etais- tu, Crillon?_"M. de Crillon soon after came in, and was told where the enemy was.
12967Was not this making her Regent in his absence giving her ample opportunities to have full knowledge of them?
12967What alterations would it be necessary to make in me, now, to render it impossible to recognise me?"
12967What did she do after the battle of Saint- Laurens, when the state was so shaken and the King had hastened to Compiègne to raise a new army?
12967What does the public say of it?
12967What grounds are there for such a calumny?
12967What was the secret of her long continued hold upon the King?
12967What would be said of a father who got rid of the charge of his children as of a burthen?
12967What would the good prelate say if he knew that I shared my last quarter''s allowance with a charming little opera- dancer?
12967While she was at the door, she cried out,"What are all those trunks, Madame?
12967Who was she?
12967Why, then, should she have undertaken to conclude the peace I have just mentioned, if she had been?
12967Will you oblige me so far as to rise and go to Fosseuse, who is taken very ill?
12967Will you try to put a hundred and sixty louis into my pocket?"
12967Would a corrupted Parliament have braved the fury of the League, in order to preserve the crown for the legitimate sovereign?
12967cried I,"has my brother no one else to send a message by?"
12967for me''tis now too late[9] To strive''gainst Fortune and contend with Fate; Of those I slighted, can I beg relief?
12967is Duclos an acquaintance of yours?
12967said she,"Sire, look at----""At what?"
12967who is he that persecutes them?
17067''And yet--''''Well, have you found this ghost?''
17067''Well then?'' 17067 ''Well, what of the curtain?
17067A fine book; do you know it?
17067And did nothing happen afterwards?
17067And the husband?
17067And you heard nothing more from Tournebut?
17067Are you sure,asked Chauvel,"that that really is your mother''s writing?"
17067Arrested?
17067If the case is a worthy one,said Napoleon,"why did he not send me word of it?
17067It is over, is n''t it?
17067Rue Chanoinesse?
17067To go where?
17067Was your mother called as a witness?
17067What were my means of entertaining at least the hope of success? 17067 When do you start?"
17067You know for certain, sir, what this letter contains?
17067''And our food?''
17067A hero or an adventurer?--And the husband, the lawyer and the friends of the house?
17067A heroine or a lunatic?--and the lover?
17067Acquet''s friends, his confederate Delaitre and the Prefect Caffarelli, without arousing any one''s suspicion or wounding their susceptibilities?
17067Acquet, whom they were vainly seeking throughout Normandy?
17067Acquet?
17067And could not another try to do what Georges Cadoudal had attempted?
17067And what are ten years in politics?
17067At what moment did Licquet cease to play a double part with her?
17067Besides, what would she have said?"
17067But in any case, why the tower?
17067But where could he go?
17067But would they not find gendarmes there?
17067By whom was Le Chevalier informed in his hiding- place of his sister- in- law''s arrest?
17067D''Aché?
17067Did Georges see in this a last hope of safety?
17067Did Le Chevalier believe in this Utopia?
17067Did Réal not dare to stand sponsor for such a candidate?
17067Did he believe he could escape in the crowd?
17067Did she not confess later that in the confusion of her mind she had not feared to call on God for the success of"her enterprise"?
17067Did they esteem it better to feign ignorance, or was it in reality the act of subalterns working unknown to their chiefs?
17067Did they know of the snares laid for these unhappy creatures?
17067Did they not dare to put them on their guard for fear of offending the English government?
17067Did they think that the cross, given hitherto so parsimoniously to civilians, was not meant for the police?
17067Do you know so little of my heart and are you so ignorant of the love I bore Gilbert?
17067From Tournebut, where, in spite of the search made, he could have lived concealed for six months in some well- equipped hiding- place?
17067From the landing my mother cried,''Is any one there?''
17067From where had he come?
17067Had Licquet been to Paris between these two dates?
17067Had he breathed it to Réal?
17067Had he recently returned to Tournebut?
17067He wrote very courageously to Réal:"You will doubtless ask me, M. le Comte, why I have not tried to show up the truth?
17067How came it that he was, in a way, mutilated?
17067How will the gendarmes be able to fulfil their duties without fear of being treated as assassins or wild beasts?"
17067If they asked me, what should I say?"
17067In what costume did Licquet appear at Caen?
17067In what manner did he listen to the love- sick confidences of his prisoner?
17067In what sadly sympathetic tones did he reply to the glowing pictures she drew of her lover?
17067In what way was the son used to capture the father?
17067Is it not better to tell you everything?"
17067Lefebre had ridden it from Tournebut; but was that a fact to be so carefully concealed?
17067Moisson accommodated there without being taken into her hostess''s confidence?
17067My hand trembles; can you read this?
17067On the platform?
17067One of the Bourbon princes, perhaps?
17067Ought I not to respect the secret of the authorities?"
17067Since no mystery was made of the journey, why was its means of accomplishment important?
17067The idea pleased the Marquise; but who would undertake to discover the fugitive and arrange for her embarcation?
17067The muslin fichu, the little curtains, the nail-- was this a cipher decided on in advance between the prisoners?
17067Then, allowing the three others to go on ahead, he said to me,''But if they arrest us, what will they do to us?''
17067Was he still there?
17067Was she young and pretty?
17067Was this not d''Aché?
17067Was this the rent they paid for Hartwell?
17067Were not the germs of the whole story of the Restoration in Le Chevalier''s profession of faith?
17067Were they not found again, five years later, in the astonishing conception of Malet?
17067Were they the instigators or the dupes?
17067Were things very different in 1814?
17067What answer should he give?
17067What are the terrible consequences to be expected from these facts if they are true?
17067What horse?
17067What is the reply, if, moreover, as is said, the person was seized, his hands tightly tied behind his back, and then shot?
17067What must have been the Marquise''s grief and rage on learning that she had been deceived?
17067What personality did he assume?
17067What secret had Licquet discovered, that he did not dare to confide, except orally, and then only to the Imperial Chief of Police?
17067What suspicion could attach to the owners of Donnay?
17067Where was he?
17067Who would have imagined that this elegant little house had been rented by Georges to shelter himself and his companions?
17067Whom dared she trust, in her desperate situation?
17067Whom had this horse drawn or carried?
17067Why did the Marquise in her confidential letters insist on this point?
17067Why should her lover have done such an infamous thing?
17067Why, after having killed this man, did they leave him there, without troubling to comply with any of the necessary formalities?
17067Will you be kind enough to obtain it for me?"
17067Will you not wait till to- morrow evening?"
17067With what invectives must she not have overwhelmed him when he ceased?
17067You do n''t know about it?
17067and if it is not, why did he give passports to a family whom I am obliged to send away in despair?"
17067de Combray learn that her noblest illusions had been worked upon to make her give up her daughter and betray all her friends?
17067de Combray remained silent?
17067de Combray would reveal the secret of his retreat?
17067de Combray, sanctified by Balzac?
17067de la Chanterie?"
17067do you think this is a time to congratulate me?
46035''How many?'' 46035 ''Well, then, why not send him to my school at Saint- Michel de Frigolet?''
46035But you have a husband, madame, is n''t it so? 46035 Did not the actors in my drama, the labourers, harvesters, herdsmen and shepherds, come and go before my eyes from dawn till dusk?
46035Is that your husband, madame?
46035And if we never had the heavy rains, how would our wells and springs and rivers be fed?
46035But may they not have been right after all?
46035Can one see the like anywhere else in Europe?
46035Did it not live and sing around me, this poem of Provence with its blue depths framed by the Alpilles?
46035Do they perhaps persuade themselves that they see it, as many others must have done before them?
46035Do those who hold it still watch with strained attention on Good Fridays for the"holy miracle"to be performed?
46035He approached her and said:"''Where do you come from, little one?
46035In three years, when he had done with the army, who knew?
46035Is he ill, or has he been eating cinders?''
46035Is it too fanciful to suppose that there is some foundation in fact for the legend of his beginning his great work as a child?
46035Say that there has been error, say that there has been fraud if you like, and what have you denied?
46035Supposing those great winds which bring life to Provence never blew, how would the mists and fogs of our marshes be dispersed?
46035Then, if there was talk of any one, he would ask first:''Is he a good worker?''
46035What can one say of it?
46035What is your name?''
46035What was it that they hated so?
46035What was the meaning of this strange crime?
46035Where do they come from?
46035Where is the relic hidden now?
46035Why is only part of this great stretch of land now fertile, and the rest a desolating waste?
46035[ Illustration: THE"FOUNTAIN,"VAUCLUSE][ Illustration: THE CAVES ABOVE THE"FOUNTAIN"_ Page 223_] But where was the fountain?
43231Gad, then, why do n''t you raze it?
43231What was to be done, what was to become of me?
43231Who goes there?
43231''And do you intend to remain in Paris, or to go to your home?''
43231''But have you any means?''
43231( Against whom?)
43231An iron door opens: what does one see?
43231And what were his reasons?
43231Astonished, he asked the fisherman,''Have you read what is written on this dish, and has anyone seen it in your hands?''
43231But why decline to humour a prisoner''s whim?
43231Could I shut you out of my thoughts, you whom I bear always in my heart?
43231He writes on another occasion:"The crime of every one of us is to have seen through your villainies: we are to perish, are we?
43231Here we shall be arrested by the question, what is to be understood by a state prison?
43231How had they got stranded there?
43231How many of those who had entered there had ever been seen again?
43231In the disorder, what was the fate of the archives?
43231Is not this letter charming in its artless pathos?
43231Is the mob to be reproached for these atrocious crimes?
43231Is there any need to insist on the strength of the proofs afforded by these three documents, taken in connection one with another?
43231Is this a man?
43231Next day but one the officer came to me for the third time:''Why are you so obstinate?''
43231Of what crime was he guilty, accused, of, at any rate, suspected?
43231Renneville, assuredly, was not treated with the same consideration as Voltaire; but, frankly, would you have wished it?
43231Suppose we go and set them free?"
43231The two captives had never seen each other, yet loved each other passionately: what will their mutual impressions be?
43231Turning suddenly towards his keeper, Danry said,"What do you think of this weather?"
43231Unluckily the young man had no money: how was he to pay his score?
43231We ask ourselves,"Was he a fool?
43231What are you about, my lord?
43231What did this mean--_if_ he had any property,_ if_ he could find sureties?
43231What is to become of him?
43231What, actually and practically, were the means of government in the hands of the king?
43231What, then, had he in his pocket?
43231Who, he would like to know, had the insolence to make"an accusation so derogatory to his honour and his reputation?"
43231did they take the Vicomte de Latude for a sharper?
43231or was he a traitor?"
43231said the major,"do n''t you know that to- day is Friday?"
46069''Danger?'' 46069 ''How so?''
46069''No, sir,''retorted the officer frowningly,''nothing of the sort; do you not realize that you are in great danger?'' 46069 ''You are the Mayor Odent?''
46069''You have fired on our men?'' 46069 Did your teeth ache badly?"
46069Do these people never rest?
46069In God''s name,answered Joan,"are you making a mock of me, Captain?
46069Must the King be driven from his kingdom and we become English?
46069What do you here, my dear?
46069What is to be thought of her? 46069 Who is thy Lord?"
46069Who is your Lord?
46069A strange story; but then these are strange times, and who shall say that this is unworthy of credence?
46069And for what good was all this, one asks?
46069And how to repay such kindness?
46069And now what is left in place of the gray old churches, the quiet monasteries, the fruitful farms and flocks and the dense forests?
46069But the treasures which it contained, now either destroyed or carried off to Berlin, who shall say if they can ever be replaced?
46069Gentle dauphin, she said one day,"why do you not believe me?
46069Had John of Luxembourg come out of sheer curiosity, or to relieve himself of certain scruples by offering Joan a chance for her life?
46069How could the people who dwell in this terrible spot be other than debased?
46069Ransom me?
46069The reader will probably exclaim:"Well, if this is Ruskin''s idea of a''happy walk,''what then would be his description of a gloomy one?"
46069There were twin brothers who did the same, in some remote period, after refusing to open the gates to Wenceslaus, or was it Baldwin of the Iron Arm*?
46069What could be expected from the dreams of a young peasant girl of nineteen?
46069What of it?
46069What vituperation did she not address to us?
46069When will you set out?"
46069Where shall the artist seek the matchless châteaux gardens, which took centuries in the making?
46069Why should we priests not give our blood?''
20055''Is not Charles,''asked Didier of Ogger,''with this great army?'' 20055 ''What do you suppose,''said he to me,''these fellows can do with all their outbreaks?
20055''What should we do, then,''rejoined Didier, who began to be perturbed,''should he come accompanied by a larger band of warriors?'' 20055 Am I then at liberty?"
20055And you deem this a bond of friendship? 20055 Art not thou the admiral?"
20055Behme,cried the duke of Guise from the court- yard,"hast thou done?"
20055Brother,he said,"I am safe, am I not, in your house and your country?"
20055Cardinal,broke out the king, in an abrupt tone,"you bought some diamonds of Boehmer?"
20055Do you believe in God?
20055Do you know me?
20055Do you know what the king is doing?
20055Does he mean to make game of me, that he offers such a sum?
20055Gentlemen,he called to the officers on the bridge,"are we bound for Spain or for Africa?"
20055Have those hounds lost heart, pray?
20055Have you any news from Paris?
20055Have you good spurs?
20055Have you your passports?
20055How could a prince of your house and my grand almoner suppose that the queen would sign,''Marie Antoinette of France?''
20055How have you got rid of so much?
20055How, then, do you forget Bertrand du Guesclin?
20055How?
20055I am very much inclined,said the king;"but what will my wife say?
20055In what language do the voices speak to you?
20055Is that all?
20055Is there any one here?
20055It is a bad business; but how are we to stop it?
20055Madame,said Romeuf, warningly,"do you wish that other eyes than mine should witness your anger?"
20055May I ask what you will do with it?
20055My dear, shall I really go?
20055See,cried Joan,"are the English turning to you their faces, or verily their backs?
20055Shall this man longer remain master of the Convention?
20055Sire,said the colonel,"is it not dangerous to act thus in presence of troops whose sentiments we do not know, and whose first fire may be so fatal?"
20055Soldiers of the Fifth,he cried, loudly,"do you recognize me?"
20055The king? 20055 Vatel,"said he,"what is this I hear?
20055Well, Bertrand, how are you?
20055Well, M. de Guitant, and what is your advice?
20055Well,he said,"since these drunken scoundrels are upon us, and are coming here to look for meat and drink, what ought we to do?"
20055What are you doing, soldiers?
20055What danger is there in this assault? 20055 What do you think of all this?"
20055What fancy is this of yours?
20055What have you done with them?
20055What is the matter, sir?
20055What is the meaning of this riot?
20055What is to be done?
20055What manner of man will this be,said the onlookers,"who as a boy is so firm of seat and strong of hand?"
20055What say you?
20055What shall be done with the ointment?
20055What sort of man is this?
20055Whence shall the money come?
20055Where are we?
20055Where are you bound?
20055Where will you go, fair sir?
20055Who gave you the commission to buy them?
20055Who is the commander of this rear- guard?
20055Who is your Lord?
20055Why, then, went you not straight, without stopping?
20055Will you not enter my house?
20055You have?
20055All?
20055And was it safe to attempt an arrest?
20055And what is the meaning of all these doings with jewellers, and these notes shown to bankers?"
20055And you?"
20055Are there not among you fifty gentlemen willing to die with their king?"
20055But a town was not enough; an army was needed; whence should it come?
20055But what then?
20055But will you not be pleased to swear to the treaty just as it is written?"
20055Civilization had swung downward into barbarism; was barbarism to swing downward into savagery, and man return to his primitive state?
20055Could St. Remy''s vial be found, or had it and its contents vanished in the whirlpool of the Revolution?
20055Could the fates fail him now, at this critical moment of his life?
20055Had the desecration of sans- culottisme proceeded so far as this?
20055Has there ever been a year in the world''s history more crowded with momentous events?
20055Have I not forced them to give up what they called their commune, for the whole duration of my life?''
20055Have you any commissions I can execute there?"
20055He had set the flood in motion; how far was he to be borne on its waves?
20055He stirred about in an unquiet and irresolute mood, saying several times to the queen,"My dear, shall I go or not?"
20055How came it about?
20055How is the Emperor?"
20055How would they receive him,--with volleys or acclamations?
20055If she become powerful, will not revenge be her first and only thought?
20055In this you injured your own blood and troubled me and my people, ruined your friends and famished your army, and for what?
20055Is this the power of your Christ?"
20055Napoleon looked at General Drouet, and said, in pensive tones,"Do you hear this, Drouet?
20055On whom besides could the Church rest, in its great conflict with paganism and unbelief?
20055Others might lie late abed, but there could be no such indulgence for him; for was not he the power behind the throne?
20055Should the Emperor declare himself and seek to gain over Andrieux?
20055So this was what lay behind the insinuations of Cinq- Mars?
20055The battle over, the question arose, what had become of the Duke of Burgundy?
20055The city was there, but where were the people?
20055The diamond necklace?
20055The question now arises, Who was the"man with the iron mask"?
20055These devils of square- caps, are they mad about bringing me either to commence a civil war, or to put a rope round their own necks?
20055These few fish all he had to offer his multitude of guests?
20055To attack his army?
20055Was this the stuff of glory?
20055What could this mean?
20055What diamond necklace?
20055What did this mean?
20055What part was he to play in the drama of retribution?
20055What shall I say concerning his boots?
20055What think you this woman is made of?
20055What was this disgraceful business?
20055What was to be done with the thief?
20055What was to be done?
20055What will you do?"
20055What would he do?
20055What would this grand fête be should his genius fail, his powers prove unequal to the strain?
20055What, after all, is the good of troubling the world in order to fill it with our name?"
20055What, these base peasants?
20055When will you set out?"
20055Where are your forces?"
20055Where is the Viceroy of Naples?"
20055Who was there besides him to act as Defender of the Faith?
20055Who was this Childebert, it may be asked?
20055Why?
20055Would they come?
20055what prayer can alter fate?
20055what was that, on the horizon, at the very extremity of the landscape, that small, faint cloud, which he had not seen before?
57786But do they make you take your cloak off?
57786What,they would ask,"did the girl suppose he had married her for?
57786And the question is, how is the seeing eye to be obtained?
57786And what curves or angles ought they to follow?
57786And what did she_ want_ to be married for?
57786And what is marriage for, if not for that?"
57786As emancipation has progressed, the young girl has been allowed a voice in choosing her husband; but what is the result?
57786But if we have the thing, one may ask, what does the word matter?
57786But what is the fundamental principle of the Montessori system?
57786But what kind of strokes?
57786But, in other respects, why should we Americans be conservative?
57786Certainly-- why not?
57786Do n''t you know they''ll give you the fever?"
57786How many critics of the French conception of love have taken the trouble to consider first their idea of marriage?
57786I. III TASTE I French taste?
57786In the light of that definition, has not license kept the better part?
57786Is either of these affirmations exact?
57786Or is there any; and are not some races-- the artistically non- creative-- born as irremediably blind as Kentucky cave- fishes?
57786That is the technical situation; but what is the practical fact?
57786The point is, the French might return, what are we to be formed for?
57786There are more people who can read in the United States; but what do they read?
57786What has become, in America, of the copse, the spinney, the hedgerow, the dale, the vale, the weald?
57786What is the operation for taste- blindness?
57786What, then, is the place they give to the disturbing element?
57786Why not have substituted as a title"Prejudice"--or simply"Stupidity"?
57786Why, what do you mean?"
57786_ Es ist verboten._""Forbidden?
57786the traditional attitude is:"Why should I do my neighbour a good turn when he may be getting the better of me in some way I have n''t found out?"
34684Admirably?
34684Are you quite sure?
34684But,you will say,"surely the Reverend Mr. Shaw gave his$ 5000 to the poor, or to some good cause----?"
34684I have proved that I can fight,he says;"why should I fight a hopeless battle?"
34684Indeed,said Sheridan,"and what are your colors?"
34684My dear brethren,he cried,"is it possible that you can thus place the love of filthy lucre above the love of virtue?"
34684Was that brave, to hide behind a wall?
34684Well, and what did they make you say on your wedding day?
34684What is it that these English people worship?
34684_ Qui vive?_cries the_ Duke_.
34684***** Does not the frequentation of French cemeteries show how attached we are to the body?
34684***** May I be allowed to make another comparison here?
34684***** May I now permit myself to indulge in a little personality?
34684***** Now, what is a foreigner?
34684***** What is a foreigner?
34684And why must we live?
34684Ballerich for a fictitious person, in order to take stock of the premises, did you not?
34684But one question I would ask of you: Why do you send your invectives to the wrong address?
34684But there''s the rub; what is the use of ideas, when one has no capital?
34684But where is he to go?
34684But, if the Englishman knows how to take it, do you believe he feels it the less for that?
34684Can we imagine a pleasure party of any kind without the presence of women?
34684Did he go to war with America?
34684Do n''t you know that soap is indispensable to an Englishman or an American; and that only a Frenchman can do without it?"
34684Do not the very prejudices and weaknesses, the thousand little failings of our friends, often endear them to us?
34684Do we not love to find them in a dear old mother?
34684Do you remember the great manifestations in favor of the abolition of the House of Lords?
34684Do you think a Frenchman your equal?
34684Does it not seem as if any second chamber must necessarily be dangerous or useless?
34684Does not the solitude of English cemeteries show how little our neighbors share this feeling?
34684Does this prove that they have less intelligence or more generosity?
34684Enemies?
34684Even down to the manner of holding a fork or an umbrella, the two nations seem to be saying to each other:"You do it that way?
34684For that matter, why should England go in for inventing?
34684Girardin?
34684Have we ever bestowed unlimited admiration upon those whose society we frequent every day?
34684I must lean my head on your shoulder; you do n''t mind, do you?"
34684If, from our childhood, woman were the companion of our daily games and walks, should we not look upon her with different eyes?
34684Is a country less dear to her sons because of her prejudices?
34684Is it not always clothed in mystery?
34684Is it not strange that music- hall jingoism and_ chauvinisme_ should not only be expressed in the same manner, but by the very same words?
34684Is it possible that we Frenchmen, the most home- abiding men in the world, can be attacked by this ridiculous mania for change?
34684Is not the object of man''s worship always something unknown, extraordinary, ideal?
34684Jacques Bonhomme scarcely knew what a Plebiscite was; but he went to see his parish priest, who said to him:"Are you married, Jacques?"
34684Now, could Mr. George Augustus Sala, with his knowledge of London dairy produce, pay my book a more witty and graceful compliment?
34684Poor Marquis de Boissy, what would you have said, if you had lived long enough to receive invitations to_ five o''clocquer_?
34684The men who have suffered for country, religion, science, liberty; are these Carlyle''s fools?
34684The virtuous Germans that vanquished us, were they, after all, so clever at geography and French?
34684Then why are we not content with France as she is?
34684Then, seeing the table garnished with good things, he cries:"My friends, why must we eat?
34684Try how many followers you will get for a standard of revolt raised with the cry:"The people are being syringed?"
34684Was it apologies he wanted?
34684What can it possibly be made of, this nauseating decoction?
34684What happened?
34684What has become of all the fine promises of the ministry?"
34684What meant those jeremiads?
34684What shall I do?
34684What was I to do?
34684What will the French schoolboys do?
34684When he marries, woman is not exactly an enigma to him; but do you think he is any the worse husband for that?
34684When shall we cease to become inventors and be men of business?
34684When shall we, in France, cease to strive after the extraordinary and the universal?
34684When you left she was still alive?
34684Where is the nation that can boast such another?
34684Who among us has not admired and blessed them?
34684Who does not drag him in the mud?
34684Who does not take upon himself to judge him without appeal?
34684Why are we obliged to make use of this word to designate a child of the feminine sex?
34684Why be always wanting to change her?
34684Why is Roman Catholicism perfectly powerless in England, politically speaking?
34684Why not_ English Philosophy_?
34684Will you ever forget the bloodcurdling ghost stories that you listened to so breathlessly in the twilight, as you roasted chestnuts in the embers?
34684Will you have a few rather diverting illustrations, taken right and left?
34684Would_ Monsieur_ like to see my English stock?"
34684Yet what happened?
34684You want to carry a red flag about the streets?
34684_ DÃ © jeuner_ is, therefore, irrational; but is this any excuse for making ourselves grotesque?
34684_ Nous lunchons!_ What a barbarous mouthful, is it not?
34684when he is bold enough to buy a dozen railway shares, like the smallest shopkeeper in the land?
19263And do you share this opinion?
19263And the Mobiles?
19263And was his country to count for nothing?
19263And what, pray, will happen after the capitulation of Paris?
19263And would the majority of the Constituent Assembly go with them?
19263Are we to remain cooped up here until we are starved out?
19263Are you come to congratulate us?
19263But how can you imagine that you and your friends would be able to defeat the Prussians, who are disciplined soldiers?
19263But if none of these prophecies are realised.--what then?
19263But if you have to capitulate, what will happen?
19263Can France accept a mediation which will snatch from her the enemy at the moment when victory is certain?
19263Can any one tell me where Jules Favre has gone?
19263Coquin,says William,"what are you doing with your eagle?"
19263Eating it,replies Badinguet;"what else can I do with it?"
19263Et Clamart?
19263Et le General Trochu?
19263How do you live, then?
19263If you are an Englishman,cried his friend,"why do you not go back to your own country, and fight Russia?"
19263Is it not too bad of him that he will pretend not to understand French?
19263Monsieur is in the Garde Nationale?
19263Pray, sir, may I ask,he said, with bitter scorn,"whether her Majesty is still on the throne in England?"
19263Qui sait?
19263Shall you send off a train to- morrow morning?
19263Then,he went on,"has this Count Bismarck, as they call him, driven the British nobles out of the House of Lords?
19263We are,observed an orator, a few nights ago,"the children of Paris, she has need of us; can we leave her at such a moment?"
19263Well, what does England think of our attitude now?
19263Well,I said,"supposing that the Prussians were to withdraw, and peace were to be concluded on reasonable terms, what do you think would take place?"
19263What do you expect will occur? 19263 What do you think of a man on horseback?"
19263What do you think they are saying of us in England?
19263What is this?
19263What,she continued,"have you not heard of the victory?"
19263What?
19263Why do you complain of me?
19263Why do you not act with energy against the Ultras?
19263Why do you wear these ugly gloves?
19263Why not?
19263Will it ever be taken out?
19263Will the Garde Nationale fight?
19263''What dost thou want?''
19263After all, what is patriotism?
19263And shall our army of 500,000 men remain stationary before this handful of Germans?
19263But how is it all to end?
19263But why should they complain?
19263But will this sacrifice save the ship?
19263Can anything be more absurd than for a provincial town to be forced to wait for such an authorisation until it receives it from Paris?
19263Can better evidence be required?
19263Can it be that, after all, the Parisians, at the mere sound of cannon, are going to cave in, and give up Alsace and Lorraine?
19263Can it possibly be that I am over- credulous?
19263Come now, Citizen Strassnowski, he says, what has the Government done to merit your praise?
19263Did not yesterday a National Guard himself take five Prussian prisoners?
19263Does not every Englishman feel this to be true of his own countrymen?
19263Has Gambetta contracted with a London firm for a loan of 250 millions at 42?
19263Has it tried to utilise us?
19263How can all this end?
19263How can it be otherwise?
19263How can the Parisians expect to force the Prussians to raise the siege?
19263How can the engineers have made such a mistake?
19263I venture to repeat a question which I have already frequently asked-- Where is the gentleman who enjoys an annual salary as British Consul at Paris?
19263In a meeting presided over by Jules Favre, what do you suppose the mayors were asked to do?
19263In vain I ask,"But what if these three armies do not make their appearance?"
19263Is it possible, each man asks, that 500,000 armed Frenchmen will have to surrender to half the number of Germans?
19263Is not King William the instrument of Heaven, and is he not engaged in a holy cause?
19263It has armed us and exercised us; but why?
19263It is a merry farce, is it not?
19263It is difficult to find a tailor who will work, and even if he did I could not send him my one suit to mend, for what should I wear in the meantime?
19263It meant,"Do you really imagine that a functionary-- a postman-- is going to forward your letters in an irregular manner?"
19263Now, I ask, after having endured this sort of thing day after day for three months, can I be expected to admire Geist, Germany, or Mr. Matthew Arnold?
19263Oh, full- of- feeling, loved- of- beauteous- women, German warrior, can you refuse me?"
19263Shall we not in that case have the Gallic cock crowing as lustily as ever?
19263Some of the members of the Government, I hear, suggest an admiral; but what admiral would accept this_ damnosa hæreditas_?
19263Still the old subjects-- How long will it last?
19263The editor of the_ Liberté_--why is this gentleman still alive?
19263The year which is commencing can not bring with it any sorrows that by remaining united we shall not be able to support?''
19263The_ Rappel_ also informs its readers that letters have been discovered( where?)
19263There was a chorus of"Qui sait?"
19263This is a good sign, but will it outlive a single gleam of success?
19263This is all very well, but how is he to get there?
19263To the Legitimists?
19263To the Orleanists?"
19263To whom then must we turn to save the country?
19263To- day a citizen writes as follows:--"Why are not the National Guards installed in the churches?
19263What are they doing now?
19263What do the robbers and the beggars who thus insult us do?
19263What has been the consequence of this act of weakness?
19263What has been the consequence?
19263What has happened here, and what is happening?
19263What is the use of you, sir, if you can not ensure my safe passage to England?
19263What is to be expected of troops when military offences of the grossest kind are treated in this fashion?
19263What puzzles us is, that the Rente is at 53--why then was this new loan issued at 42?
19263What were the men to do whilst they were kept waiting, except drink?
19263What will be the verdict of history on the defence?
19263What would he have said of a Government composed almost exclusively of these objects of his political distrust?
19263What would he say if the Government which succeeds him were to allow his own wife to be insulted in this cowardly manner?
19263What, I asked, is to be expected of a city peopled by such credulous fools?
19263What, however, is to be done for the French?
19263What, then, say his opponents with some truth, was your wonderful plan?
19263When one asks them where?
19263Where are they now?
19263Where were the artillerymen?
19263Why are we to allow them quietly to establish their batteries?
19263Why did you imprison as calumniators those who published news from the provinces, which you now admit is true?
19263Why did you put your name to proclamations which called upon us, if we could not conquer, at least to die?
19263Why do distinguished generals, unless forced by circumstances, declare the mere act of passing four or five cold nights in the trenches heroic?
19263Why does not Gambetta write more clearly?
19263Why is a banker, who has other matters to attend to, discharging his duties?
19263Why is he absent now?
19263Why is so great a publicity given to such contradictory orders of the day?"
19263Why these reports?
19263Why was he absent during the siege?
19263Why, they ask, are we to allow ourselves to be besieged by an army which does not equal in numbers our own?
19263Why?
19263Why?
19263Will the Prussians enter Paris?
19263Will they be entirely in the wrong?
19263_ October 12th._"What is truth?"
19263_ October 25th._ Has General Trochu a plan?--if so, what is it?

45790( Just what sort of clients do chauffeurs have?)
45790And what, my dear Sir, may"Poliater"mean?
45790As for the springs, where are they and how are they used?
45790But which name stands first in the great court of God?
45790But, I exclaim, you say he never saw her until yesterday?
45790Can the naturalists inform me why all animals on the approach of a train or auto will, if possible, cross the track?
45790Certainly I do not propose to pay for an idle auto car, and can another chauffeur be gotten?
45790Certainly it does not seem a spot to offer much adventure, but then, who can tell?
45790Did he listen to the booming of these great bells rolling out their summons above us?
45790Do they dine here?
45790How did she use it?
45790How was it at Versailles in the days of the grand Louis?
45790How, by the way, came such a woman, as history paints her, to be daughter of a king who cared only for music and grapes, and the joy of laughter?
45790If so, how did the Terrorists overlook them?
45790Now,--stop.----What are all the cotton mills of earth compared to this stately shrine?
45790Shall we find it ahead of us; are there two such places in this world of the twentieth century?"
45790Should we pity her fate, or turn in disgust from a thing so degraded?
45790The Hôtel de Sens, unique and perfect but a year or so ago, is gone, and for what?
45790The heart of Louis le Grand mashed up by a painter''s knife and spread on canvas-- where now is your greatness, O King?
45790There must be young men there, but where are they?
45790Was there ever any more to him?
45790Were our late opponents such boys?
45790What is it,--why?
45790What were even French brutes made of to destroy a woman like that?

45790While singularly majestic, St. Étienne is simple to severity, but what do architects think about its façade and the odd- looking spires?
45790Why, since there would be few if any rivals on the earth, does not the nation complete it to its own glory?
45790Yet what do we find?
45790[ Illustration: THE CATHEDRAL AT AMIENS By permission of Messrs. Neurdein] Yes, yes, yes,--perhaps so, perhaps so, but, what is that to us?
45790[ Illustration: THE FORTIFICATIONS AT THE OLD TOWN OF CARCASSONNE From a photograph] But is that Carcassonne, or any town built by man''s hands?

46750''And Madame de Duras?''
46750''Are you their confidential friend?''
46750''But even if he should find nothing,''said I to myself,''can any one ever escape who has once fallen into their hands?''
46750''Have you your_ carte_?''
46750''Is Madame de Duras there?''
46750''Very well; but what are you doing here?''
46750''Well,''said I,''have you heard anything?
46750''What is your name?''
46750''Where is your entry in the jail- book?''
46750''Will you allow me,''said I, as I handed it to him,''to tell you what took place, and why I am here?''
46750''You are not going to send me away?''
46750''You were not arrested, then?''
46750But for you, my dear child, what would have become of them?
46750But what am I saying?
46750But what good will that do her?''
46750But what would become of those three children?
46750I found at the door the jailer( no longer the good Benoît) with two turnkeys, who asked me:''What are you doing here?''
46750I heard them saying near me,''Do you see how agitated that young lady is, and how she talks to the other one?''
46750I highly approve of your lodgings; shall I tell my sister- in- law that I insist upon your remaining with your brothers?
46750If Heaven spares my life it will be a precious moment to me( who could imagine one more so?)
46750Is there no hope?''
46750Mademoiselle de Pons, much moved, said to her companion,''Is it possible that we are surrounded by such miserable beings?''

46750Revolution?__ Have you not signed I have never signed any resolutions.
46750They took me at my word, adding with eagerness,''Do you promise it?''
46750This terrible man continued in the same tone:''Why are there only three persons in this room?
46750What will be my fate?''
46750What would the father and mother of these unfortunate children feel if you should abandon them?
46750When the administrators arrived, with their caps pulled down over their eyes, to ask,''Have you no petitions to send in?''
46750When they came to the_ assignats_ I said,''Citizens, are you not going to count them?''

46750_ Your age?_ In my seventy- ninth year.
46750_ Your name?_ Noailles Mouchy.

46750why not?''
37499Et si je fuis?
37499Have I displeased you? 37499 Is it true that engravings are being published with the title of_ Josephine Beauharnais née La Pagerie_?
37499Papa, kleba?
37499Why, for example, does the Grand Duchess occupy your boxes at the theatres? 37499 ''How many wounds?'' 37499 A week later the Emperor asked,When is the wedding?"
37499And that man,_ that unfortunate_( he was thus designating the Duc d''Enghien), by whom was I advised of the place of his residence?
37499Are those of whom you speak of this kind?
37499Are you not the soul of my life, and the quintessence of my heart''s affections?
37499Are you vexed?
37499Are your mother and myself nothing?
37499Bah, do n''t I love you the more?
37499But let us suppose that your object were already attained, would you stop at the foundation of the new empire?
37499But will not the throne inspire you with the wish to contract new alliances?
37499But with whom are you about to form an alliance?
37499Car le chasseur le voit à peine Qu''il l''ajuste, le tire-- et le chien tombe mort Que dirait de ceci notre bon La Fontaine?
37499Do you dare to say?
37499Do you remember my dream, in which I was your boots, your dress, and in which I made you come bodily into my heart?
37499Do you think, then, that I have a heart of stone?
37499Hate me?
37499Have I been mistaken?
37499Have the grand fêtes at Baden, Stuttgard, and Munich made you forget the poor soldiers, who live covered with mud, rain, and blood?
37499Have you then no longer any fortitude?
37499How can you think, my charmer, of writing me in such terms?
37499How often have you not spoken in his praise?
37499How, then, do you spend the livelong day, madam?
37499I am very anxious to know how you are, what you are doing?
37499I have heaped favours upon a countless number of wretches; what have they latterly done for me?
37499Is it because they have refused to do what was required?
37499Is it possible that you no longer love your comrade?
37499Is it so difficult to get a reply?
37499Is she so busy, that writing to her dear love is not then needful for her, nor, consequently, thinking about him?
37499Is this a joke, or a fact?
37499It is_ most_ difficult to gauge the details-- was it a political or a conjugal question that made the interview a failure?
37499Josephine, had you known my heart would you have waited from May 18th to June 4th before starting?
37499Love me no longer?
37499Might you not speak to her about mending her ways, which at present might easily cause unpleasantness on the part of her husband?
37499Most charming of thy sex, what is thy power over me?
37499Not a word from you-- what on earth have I done?
37499Some water?
37499The latter dreamily but good- humouredly asked,"Why, General, what are you doing in a lady''s chamber at this hour?"
37499Was it the"General"she played or the"Emperor,"or did she find distraction in the"Demon"?
37499What business of such importance robs you of the time to write to your very kind lover?
37499What do you hope?
37499What do you wish for?
37499What have you done with them?"
37499What inclination stifles and alienates love, the affectionate and unvarying love which you promised me?
37499What means the future?
37499What more can you do to make me indeed an object for compassion?
37499What on earth do you want?
37499What then are you aiming at?
37499What will he do?
37499What_ are_ you doing then?
37499When I exacted from you a love like my own I was wrong; why expect lace to weigh as heavy as gold?
37499When will you be able to rejoin me?
37499Who deserves them more?
37499Who drove me to deal cruelly with him?
37499Who looks after you?
37499Who on earth is the editor(_ rédacteur_) of this paper?
37499Who should be happier than you?
37499Why does she go thither in your carriage?
37499Why have you not found her some distractions?
37499Why these tears, these repinings?
37499Will you not seek to support your power by new family connections?
37499Would you have given an ear to perfidious friends who are perhaps desirous of keeping you away from me?
37499Would you know her?
37499Would you willingly augment my grief?
37499You are pale and your eyes are more languishing, but when will you be cured?
37499You ought to return with him, do you understand?
37499You will come again, will you not?
37499You, to whom nature has given a kind, genial, and wholly charming disposition, how can you forget the man who loves you with so much fervour?
37499[ 88] What solace to know its beautiful situation, its capabilities?
37499and do my sufferings concern you so little?
37499are you ill at ease?
37499do I see you sad?
37499how did he drag on his loathsome existence?"
37499tell me, you who know so well how to make others love you without being in love yourself, do you know how to cure me of love???
37499tell me, you who know so well how to make others love you without being in love yourself, do you know how to cure me of love???

37499what are we ourselves?
37499what are your young engineer officers doing?"
37499what magic fluid surrounds and hides from us the things that it behoves us most to know?
37499what means the past?
37499you are surprised that I am so well acquainted with your affairs and those of that little fool, Madame Murat?"

61320And why?

61320But do they die in vain?
61320But if he had gone, what route had he taken?
61320But was there no other course that offered him greater advantages?
61320But what are the facts?
61320Could he have met with defeat?
61320How could he pass Fort Bard with cannon and cavalry?
61320How, in so short a time and with so few forces, did Bonaparte accomplish such results?
61320How, then, are we to reconcile this fact with the instructions that he sent to Masséna?
61320If so, why did he not come?
61320Is it any wonder that we should be proud of our profession?
61320Is it not possible that this may have been the reason why he held on so persistently to his communications with Switzerland?
61320It might, after all, be but a large detachment; for how could Bonaparte cross the Alps with an army?
61320Might he not unite them with Moreau''s army, crush Kray in the valley of the Danube, march on the Austrian capital, and"conquer Italy at Vienna"?
61320Perhaps so: and yet, who shall say?
61320Were they not about to enter that Italy where their comrades had fought so gloriously before?
61320Were they not imitating the daring deeds of the great Hannibal?
61320What are the advantages of this situation?
61320What would have been the result?
61320What would have been the result?
61320Where was Melas?
61320Where were they?
61320Why did Austria deprive herself of his services at the beginning of a great war?
61320Why did Moreau fail to send the necessary orders to Lecourbe?
61320Why did he thus scatter his three corps?
61320Why should he order Masséna to take up a position which would allow his army to be besieged, and finally to be captured or destroyed?
61320Why then did Bonaparte take this course?
61320Why was St. Cyr directed upon Zollhaus, instead of upon Engen or Stokach?
61320Why was the Archduke Charles not made commander in chief?
8412And pray, Sir Conjurer, who shall be the robber?
8412And,cries Monsieur d''Artois,"do I not love my sister, too?
8412What are they?
8412Who,says Sir Thomas Browne,"knows the fate of his bones, or how often he is to be buried?
8412As how, indeed, should a god be moved?...
8412But who pulled down the two rows of statues?
8412Did ever the sun shine upon such a king before, in such a palace?--or, rather, did such a king ever shine upon the sun?
8412Did it?
8412For a century and three- quarters have not all the books that speak of Versailles, or Louis Quatorze, told the story?
8412History?
8412Let her heart break: a plague upon her tears and repentance; what right has she to repent?
8412See how long it was of building?
8412Was it not Louis XIV., fulfilling the vow of Louis XIII.?
8412What had he to do, after forty years of reign; after having exhausted everything?
8412What had wealth to do there?
8412Who but men, architects, the artists of our day?
8412Who carved that new and bastard pointed arch in the very center of the middle door?
8412Who dared to insert that clumsy, tasteless, wooden door, carved in the style of Louis XV., side by side with the arabesques of Biscornette?
8412Who hath the oracle of his ashes, or whither they are to be scattered?"
8412Who left those empty niches?
8412Who was stupid enough to fasten that clumsy stone anachronism into the Carlovingian pavement of Hercandus?
8412Why should it crowd the dust of the great?
8412does Monsieur see the black stains on the wall?"
8412says Brantôme,"what of that?
52991And when did all this happen?--when was this attack made?
52991And why do the Belgians hate him so much?
52991And why?
52991But are the French in great force? 52991 Is aught on earth so precious and so dear As Fame or Honour?
52991Is that the call to arms?
52991And for what did he abandon his army, and basely fly in the hour of danger?
52991Are we to be given up to the French in this way?
52991Are we to be left here abandoned to the enemy?
52991At that moment he was accosted suddenly by the Duke of Wellington, whom he had no idea was near--"What are you firing at there?"
52991But what consolation had they to support them on the bed of pain and sickness?
52991He said--"These English certainly fight well, but they must soon give way;"and he asked Soult, who was near him,"if he did not think so?"
52991How far off do you suppose all this fighting is?"
52991How often was the anxious inquiry made with trembling eagerness for a wounded friend or relation--"Where is he to be found?"
52991I asked them why they feared the French so much?
52991I exclaimed:"Did you say, sir, that the French had beaten the Prussians?
52991In vain I eagerly asked how she knew, or why she believed, or from whence this news came, that the French were near?
52991Major Wylie, is it true?"
52991Was this the conduct of a general?
52991Was this the conduct of a great mind?
52991Was this the conduct of a hero?
52991What exalted Greece and Rome to their proud pre- eminence among the nations, and transmitted the lustre of their name to the remotest time?
52991What gives nations honour and renown in future times but the glory they have acquired?
52991What glory awaited them when they returned to their native country?
52991What is there on earth to be compared to it?
52991Where are the Prussians?
52991Where are they?
52991Why does generation after generation contemplate with veneration the plains of Marathon, and the heights of Leuctra?
52991Why is not the City Guard ordered out to defend the town?"
52991are you sure of it?"
52991but you are not English surely, madame?"
52991or is aught so bright And beautiful as Glory''s beams appear, Whose goodly light than Phoebus''lamp doth shine more clear?"
6303And what instruction more bloody than the bombardment of a city, which now returns to plague the French people?
6303Better ask, How long will be continued that War System by which such a duel is authorized and regulated among nations?
6303By what title did France undertake to interfere with the choice of Spain?
6303Do their fates furnish any lesson?
6303Does Germany seek lasting peace?
6303Does any other guaranty promise anything beyond the accident of force?
6303How can this terrible controversy be adjusted?
6303How shall this be done?
6303If France and Germany can be brought so suddenly into collision on a mere pretext, what two nations are entirely safe?
6303In the same debate, Gamier- Pages, the consistent Republican, and now a member of the Provisional Government, after asking,"Why these armaments?"
6303Is Germany determined to prolong the awful curse?
6303Is it too much to expect that this surpassing waste shall be stopped?
6303Is not the lesson perfect?
6303Must the extravagance born of war, and nursed by long tradition, continue to drain the resources of the land?
6303Shall it behold the great Jubilee with all its vastness of promise accomplished?
6303Then did Bayard, brightest among the Sons of War, drag his dead enemy from the field, crying,"Have I done enough?"
6303To what end?
6303WHY THIS PARALLEL NOW?
6303Was it from conviction of its too trivial character?
6303When will this legalized, organized crime be abolished?
6303Where are popular rights?
6303Where humanity?
6303Where is reason?
6303Where is the talisman for their protection?
6303Where, then, are the people?
6303Why beleaguer Paris?
6303Why bombard Paris?
6303Why continue this terrible homicidal, fratricidal, suicidal combat, fraught with mutual death and sacrifice?
6303Why march on Paris?
6303Why should not the harmony which has begun at home be extended abroad?
6303Would you know how the combat is conducted?
45791Ah, mon ami, how can one tell?--picking rags for aught I know,--but have you seen Suzanne? 45791 And the Americans?"
45791Elise, what is the weather?
45791Have n''t you any money?
45791Maxim''s? 45791 Oh, vraiment?
45791The ball? 45791 The story tells itself after that, n''est- ce pas?
45791Too youthful? 45791 Where is Felise?"
45791Why do n''t you open workrooms of your own?
45791Why have I no black gown on the list?
45791You serve the sole so, to Monsieur le Comte? 45791 You want to know how I do my work?
45791A great success on one occasion justifies any extravagance, and why allow a spoiled frock to obscure an agreeable memory?
45791A warm violet, now, with the embroidery in more tender shades, and a touch of gold?
45791Absurd?
45791An evening gown, a dinner gown, a visiting gown, a street frock?
45791And the curving line on the shoulder?
45791Bad temper?
45791Bad?
45791C''est dommage,--but, ma chère, what an opportunity for the petticoats and the feet, n''est- ce pas?
45791Change the frock?
45791Discouraging?
45791Elle est gentille, n''est- ce pas, cette petite femme chic?"
45791Everything is made so smooth, so agreeable, and if the bills are large, what is that to the wife or daughter of an American multi- millionaire?
45791Gai ça, n''est- ce pas?
45791I have the air of a femme des Halles, n''est- ce pas?"
45791In the meantime, if there is anything one can show?
45791La belle Margot?
45791M''sieu wished absolutely to have a melon?
45791Madame has samples of the other costumes she wishes to match?"
45791Madame la Princesse wishes to see Monsieur?
45791One corsets her-- but why not?
45791One must have the perfect figure before one can display the frock at its best, n''est- ce pas?
45791Sell a part of the inn?
45791That would be satisfactory?
45791The fashionable figure is not that of the Venus de Milo, but what would you?
45791Tout va toujours bien?--et Madame?--et le petit?"
45791Unfair?
45791Upon what shrine could flowery tributes more fittingly be laid?
45791What does Madame want?
45791What has Rambouillet to do with presidents and republics?
45791What has yesterday or to- morrow to do with a Fête des Fleurs?
45791What is beauty unadorned?
45791What shall I wear?"

45791Why?
45791You did not know?
45791You have always the same burgundy, yes?
45791You know our French girls?
45791You think perhaps that the sole au vin blanc should have that air?
32695Alas,he said,"what is the matter with my heart?
32695And where, then, will you die?
32695Do you know,said Raymond,"what you have been eating?"
32695What color are her sails?
32695What enemy of God, my good lord, has dishonored your gold- adorned robe?
32695What shall we do, my son?
32695Who are these flowers? 32695 ''And what will you do?'' 32695 ''Nothing, sire?'' 32695 ''Would you examine me as a witness against myself?'' 32695 .......................................... Je vous vens l''oiselet en gage? 32695 Am I not as beautiful as she? 32695 Are we not men as they are? 32695 But had she not fallen into good hands? 32695 But she was a comely girl; besides, would suitors hang back because the richest heiress in Europe was not at the same time a Venus? 32695 But what is that lofty scaffolding of wood and plaster standing apart? 32695 Can women, being physically weaker, fast as rigidly as men? 32695 Did she weep from sincere contrition, or merely from regret of the departed luxury and extravagance of her life? 32695 Dieu le veult!_ who could stop to think of the idle and shifty King of France? 32695 Does he not owe this same protection to every widow in his kingdom? 32695 Had Fate such power over a head so illustrious? 32695 Had it not been prophesied by the mighty Merlin that France should be lost through a wicked woman and saved by a pure virgin? 32695 Had she not seen their violence before, merely because she lived in luxury while they starved? 32695 Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?
32695He was poor: but was not she rich enough to make up the deficiency?
32695Héloïse was not yet twenty; did her youthful heart, full of love of life, yearn for the cramped life of the nunnery?
32695If Iseut represented the poetic ideal in the age of chivalry, was the real woman of that age like Iseut?
32695If she came from God, they asked, did she think herself in a state of grace, incapable of committing a mortal sin?
32695If the punishments inflicted on rebellious vassals were severe, what epithet shall we reserve for the punishments of the criminal code?
32695If these barbarians could not be checked, and they continued to pour in resistless floods over the land, what was to become of Christendom?
32695In all this world of love and song were the women merely objects of the troubadour''s song, or merely patronesses of the troubadour?
32695In the hour of supreme trial strength came to her with the thought that her suffering was the will of God; but now what was the will of God?
32695Is it not pitiful, this cry of the peasants?
32695It is a lover''s song in praise of his lady beautiful and good:"Je vous vens la rose de mai?
32695It is: How shall I appear in public?
32695It was a serious danger; for, the fleet once gone, what chance of rescue, or even of return to France, was there for the king and his army?
32695Mais où sont les neiges d''antan?"
32695Might she not be an impostor, hired by his enemies?
32695Might she not be, if nothing worse, merely a poor demented creature?
32695Not hesitating at any meanness, one of her persecutors asked whether Saint Michael appeared to her naked?
32695Not once: How shall I care for Héloïse?
32695One hears the echo of Shy lock''s"Hath not a Jew eyes?
32695Or shall we turn away, sick with horror, filled already with vain regret of the deed done, as did many in that dense crowd of her enemies?
32695Shall we say she was a saint?
32695Shall we say that the mother of a saint is,_ ex officio_, or even by courtesy, also a saint?
32695She thought of others, not of herself, even in this hour: who shall impugn her courage, or say she knew not how to die as nobly as she had lived?
32695She was essential to them, no doubt; but had she herself not said wisely and well:"The men- at- arms will fight, and God will give the victory"?
32695Since Evil ruled the world on equal terms with Good, might not man feel utterly relieved of moral responsibility?
32695Surrender, Jeanne, there is no hope for thee; France is weary of thee; for hast thou not done all that France could hope from thee?
32695Tell me, now, can you distinguish true love from counterfeit?"
32695The young duchess sent at once for the lady to whom Louis was devoting himself:"Wilt thou do me wrong with my lord, my husband?"
32695Then Brother Seguin,"a very sour man,"with a strong twang of his native Limoges, would fain know"what tongue these Heavenly visitors spoke?"
32695We should avoid, of course, male visitors; but do not vain, gossiping, worldly women corrupt their own sex just as much as men would?
32695Were there no poetesses?
32695Were they not all going to battle in the service of a greater king than he?
32695What amends can I make her for the wreck of her young life?
32695What attitude would Blanche take?
32695What collar of chivalry is to be compared to that glorious order which you wear?
32695What community in a land neighbored by mountains but has its"little people,"whether fairies, hobgoblins, or gnomes?
32695What honor is there, she asks, in deceiving a woman?
32695What is there so amazing in the king''s promising to succor me, a widow, in case of deception?
32695What was the use of preparing for the morrow, if there was to be no morrow?
32695What were the rules by which Héloïse and her nuns were to live?
32695When the thief was beyond danger of pursuit, Robert cheerfully said:"Why all this pother about a candlestick?
32695Who could the wicked woman be other than Isabeau de Bavière, who had sold France and disinherited and denied her own son?
32695Who is it that accuses me?
32695Who was Count William?
32695Who was to pay for all the display in this entry of the queen?
32695Why do we allow ourselves to be treated thus, instead of trying to right our wrongs?
32695Women are not so prone to intemperance as men, and at times they really need some stimulant; how shall we determine in regard to wines?
32695Would it not be an unseemly and deplorable thing to see a man whom nature had created for the whole world made the slave of one woman?...
32695Would you have the vase open, and disclose its ineffable treasure?"
32695Wretch that I am, why did I we d thee only to bring woe upon thee?
32695Yet meat is not so necessary for women; is it really a deprivation, then, to make them abstain from meat?
32695cried Blanche;"what will become of us?"
32695must I then die here?"
32695shall she remain with us?"
32695will you let me see my husband neither in life nor in death?''
37937But what is this that, with Legislative Insignia, ventures through the hubbub and death- hail, from the back- entrance of the Manège? 37937 But who,"my countryman went on, in the relentless English way,"checks the weigher?"
37937Who can help the inevitable issue; Marseillese and all France on this side; granite Swiss on that? 37937 ''He had on the sky- blue coat he had got made for the Feast of the_ Être Suprême_''--O Reader, can thy hard heart hold out against that? 37937 ''It is for a very important personage, then?'' 37937 ( Why did n''t we stay in the Salon Carré?) 37937 ( Why should he?) 37937 --Forgive me, yes"--"What is it?"
37937--"Trash, is it, Mademoiselle?
379378 Rue Figuier, for instance, Rabelais is said to have lived, and what could be better than that?
37937A new dancer( or shall I say attachée?)
37937A very charming incident, do n''t you think?
37937Again, was it in four years and by renewed labour never really completed, or in four months and as by stroke of magic, that the image was projected?
37937All were German and all rain- soaked( or was it tears?)
37937And after?
37937And for lunch to- day?
37937And here?
37937And of Meissonier what am I to say?
37937And then comes the question"What to do?"
37937And why on earth not?
37937And yet, alas, how fall?
37937But according to_ The Golden Legend_, which I for one implicitly believe( how can one help it, written as it is?
37937But could there be a better morning for the children in the Champs- Elysées?
37937But what is one to say here on such a theme?
37937But what is that sound?
37937By what strange affinities had the dream and the person grown up thus apart, and yet so closely together?
37937Can it still be there?
37937Can that wonderful wooden hanger that covers half the courtyard have held so long?
37937Could it happen again?
37937Did a new canvas never deter or abash him?
37937Did he never tire, this Peter Paul Rubens?
37937Do you read such trash?"
37937Do you want any other books?"
37937Every city has these humorists-- shall I say?
37937Gardens are among those things that we order( or shall I say disorder?)
37937Gladly would the Swiss cease firing: but who will bid mad Insurrection cease firing?
37937Has the Savoy a number in the Strand?
37937He is gone, then, and has not seen us?
37937Hence the present one, which represents-- what?
37937How can they, disliking as they do to leave Paris?
37937How do the lines run?
37937How indeed could it be, even although when heaven sends a cheerful hour one would scorn to refrain?
37937How is it?
37937Is it to be wondered at that he wears that expression?
37937Is the Ritz numbered in Piccadilly?
37937Like sheep hounded into their pinfold; bleating for mercy, where is no mercy, but only a whetted knife?
37937Look at that tall boulevardier with some one else''s hat( why do so many Frenchmen seem to be wearing other men''s hats?)
37937Never, do I say?
37937O unhappiest Advocate of Arras, wert thou worse than other Advocates?
37937O ye hapless Swiss, why was there no order not to begin it?
37937Of these what can I say?
37937Or shall it be at my nameless restaurant?
37937Royalty has vanished for ever from your eyes.--And ye?
37937Saint Louis''s Shirt is burnt;--might not a Defender of the Country have had it?...
37937Shall it be chez Voisin, or chez Foyot, by the Sénat, or chez Lapérouse( where the two Stevensons used to eat and talk) on the Quai des Augustins?
37937Shall we go at once to"Monna Lisa"?
37937Shelter or instant death: yet How, Where?
37937Still the old subjects-- How long will it last?
37937The Louvre has all these( together with many drawings), but above all it has the Monna Lisa, of which what shall I say?
37937The life of our own Nicol of the Café Royal, for example, would not be without interest; and what of Sherry and Delmonico?
37937The way now is to the left, through the Italian Schools, through the Salon Carré( why not stay there and let French art go hang?)
37937To particularise would merely be to convert these pages into an incomplete catalogue( and what is duller than that?
37937To the frock coat in sculpture we in London are no strangers, for have we not Parliament Square?
37937Well and good: but till the Assembly pronounce Forfeiture of him, what boots it?

37937What Curé will be behind him of Boissise; what Bishop behind him of Paris?
37937What could be prettier for Voltaire?
37937What else is there?

37937What life?
37937What shall they do?
37937What temper he is in?
37937What to do?
37937What use to him was half a cloak?
37937What was the relationship of a living Florentine to this creature of his thought?
37937What was the secret of that astounding period?
37937When President Fallières''daughter was married, it remarked, where was the ceremony performed?
37937When we come to his saintliness I would stand aside, for is he not in_ The Golden Legend_?
37937Where to begin?
37937Whereupon, thou bronze Artillery- Officer--?
37937Who ever dreamed that hotels have numbers?
37937Who is Dufayel?
37937Who is M. Pol?
37937Who the squat individual was?
37937Who would not commend him for this kind toleration?
37937Who, it asked, is called to visit a man on his death- bed, no matter how wicked he has been?
37937Why did the first twelve years of the last century know such energy and abundance?
37937Why does not Gambetta write more clearly?
37937Why should all the bookstalls and curiosity stalls of London be in Whitechapel and Farringdon Street and the Cattle Market?
37937Will it?...
37937Will there be a motor- car among the old diligences and waggons?
37937[ Illustration: LE PRINTEMPS ROUSSEAU_( Louvre: Thomy- Thierret Collection)_] Is that too dreadful an association for this spot?

35125''But reflect, first,''said the king,''if there be a crowd, are you sure of your building?'' 35125 ''But you, my poor child?''
35125''By whom, then?'' 35125 ''Can it be that those cries are addressed to us?''
35125''Doubtless; for, after all, what is my principality of Béarn? 35125 ''Have we, do you think, run over any one?''
35125''Have you brought it?'' 35125 ''Have you no prisoners, then, at less than ten francs?''
35125''Have you shown this letter to any one?'' 35125 ''How should I know it?

35125''Scratches himself?'' 35125 ''Sire, it is, then, the King of Navarre?''
35125''So near as that?'' 35125 ''Tell me now, Father Billot,''inquired Pitou, after having carried the timber some thirty yards,''are we going far in this way?''
35125''Tell me where you are conducting me?'' 35125 ''The Château d''If?''
35125''True, your Grace, but--''''In the first place, at what time do we dine?''
35125''Very well; and where is this house that I purchase?'' 35125 ''Well, am I so poor as to have no Tokay in my cellar?
35125''Well, do you think Count Haga will drink sixty bottles with his dinner?'' 35125 ''What do you want?''
35125''What in heaven''s name does it all mean?'' 35125 ''What is it?''
35125''What the devil are you doing here, Vatel?'' 35125 ''Where are we to go?''
35125''Where are we?'' 35125 ''Who may they be?
35125''Why do you ask that question?'' 35125 ''With a post- chaise and_ valet de chambre_?''"
35125''Yes, your Grace, like the king--''''And why like the king?''
35125''Yes,''said Dantès;''do you then know him?'' 35125 ''You are a native of Marseilles, and a sailor, and yet you do not know where you are going?''
35125''You are the notary empowered to sell the country- house that I wish to purchase, monsieur?'' 35125 ''You have the list of my guests?''
35125''You think, then,''said he,''that I am conducted to the château to be imprisoned there?'' 35125 ''You would much like to hold Cahors, Sire?''
35125''Your Grace, the citizens dine at two, the bar at three, the nobility at four--''''And I, sir?''
35125''Your master? 35125 And what then?"
35125But Latude, poor devil, what had he done? 35125 Have you read it?"
35125Have you read it?
35125Henri thought he recognized the voice, and, advancing toward the individual, said,''Ah, is it you, Beaulieu? 35125 Indeed,"said Delacroix, who kept on painting.--"You are angry with me, are you not?
35125La Hurière advanced, and looked at Henri; and, as his large cloak did not inspire him with very great veneration:''Who are you?''
35125What made you go away?
35125What then? 35125 What was the good?
35125Why did I not come earlier to Paris?
35125''Are you buying wine at a_ cabaret_ in the Place de Grève?''...
35125''That book you are reading, does it not give recipes for cooking eggs in sixty different ways?''
35125''To whom is it addressed?''
35125''What are we going there for?''
35125''What does your Majesty mean?''
35125''Where must I stop, ladies?''
35125''Why so?''
35125''You see I am generous; am I not, mother?''
351251?''
35125And what the devil do you do here?''
35125And where are they?''
35125And who was your master at that time?''
35125Are there any magistrates or judges at the Château d''If?''
35125Bertuccio?''
35125But did not the history of Paris itself furnish the romancer with these very essential details?
35125But what about England''s peculiar dishes?
35125But what about the actual condition of the people at the time?
35125Did you forget that this great man, this hero, this demigod, is attacked with a malady of the skin which worries him to death,_ prurigo_?''
35125Do not the prisoners leave some scraps?''
35125Dumas recounts the incident thus:"''And the cards I ordered to be engraved as soon as you knew the number of the house?''
35125Have you any good wine of Artois?''
35125He raised his head and asked,''Where are we?''
35125He says,"I address him....''Pardon my impertinence, but are you very fond of eggs?''
35125I suppose M. le Comte has the tastes of the day?''"
35125It is an interesting subject, to be sure, but a trifling one for one of the world''s greatest writers to spend his time upon; say you, dear reader?
35125It runs thus:"''Who is this man?''
35125It were not possible to produce a complete or"exhaustive"work on any subject of a historical, topographical or æsthetic nature: so why claim it?
35125Marrow- bones and stewed eels, for instance?

35125One is in the cellar of his Majesty Louis XVI.--''"''And the other?''

35125The Parisian has, perhaps, cause to regret that these turf- covered battlements somewhat restrict his"_ promenades environnantes_,"but what would you?
35125The corvette must now, I think, be on her way to Fécamp, must she not?''"
35125Then she cried in a loud voice,''Do you know who I am?
35125To take Cahors, which is held by M. de Vezin, one must be a Hannibal or a Cæsar; and your Majesty--''"''Well?''
35125Were these men who blocked up the Rue Vivienne friends or enemies?
35125Whom, if you please, have we to- day whose name and fame is as wide as those just mentioned?
35125Why have people accused me of prodigality?
35125Why should this be the case, unless it be to enjoy the pleasures of my kitchen?
35125Why then these green cockades?
35125You will never forgive me?"
35125_ En route_ to the_ cabaret_, D''Artagnan asked of his companion,"Is there a procession to- day?"

35125said Henri,''is this the way to my apartment?''
35125said he,''does not M. le Comte know where the house he purchases is situated?''
35125you imagine that I can be beaten by wool- merchants and beer- drinkers?''
9896And your comrade?
9896But what am I to do?
9896How is that?
9896How much do you want?
9896I dare say you would have been glad if French and English had fought side by side in this war?
9896Is it a little pig?
9896Is it a young pig?
9896Is it sucking- pig?
9896So you want me to be shot?
9896Well,said the suspicious private,"have you not noticed that every time he orders us to march forward we invariably encounter the enemy?"
9896What is the matter, my dearest?
9896Who did it?
9896Why did they do it?--was it because your men had cut the telegraph wires and destroyed some of the permanent way?
9896You know me, then?
9896You know the Lei- ces- terre Square? 9896 Are n''t you going to leave with the others?
9896Come, what is it, tell me?"
9896Could Trochu''s plan and Bazaine''s plan be synonymous, then?
9896Did the Empress at that moment wonder when, where, and how she would next see them again?
9896Do you know London?
9896Do you know Regent Street?
9896Do you know the Soho?"
9896Had we not bought at least a dozen newspapers?
9896How would they dress, even supposing that they should contrive to dress at all?
9896How''s that?"
9896It is young Vizetelly, a friend of my son''s,"adding,"Did you wish to speak to me?"
9896Many a time in the course of the next few years did I hear foreigners inquire:"What do the London papers say?"
9896So saying, the officer produced the small bottle which had been taken from the unfortunate traveller, and added:"You see this?
9896The question which immediately arose was-- could we catch it?
9896To what despair would not millions of women be reduced?
9896We occasionally procured English ale from him, and one day, late in October, when I was passing his establishment, he said to me:"How is your father?
9896What name is the music- hall there?"

2579''Would you believe that I have earned only twenty- four francs?'' 2579 Are these people as happy as they seem to be?"
2579Born with a proud and independent spirit which never bowed at any one''s command, how could I accept the idea of a man being held sacred? 2579 Can you have forgotten that, after the tempest, as you yourself declared in the height of the storm, it is the nation which saves itself?
2579Does not the famous tribune of the Jacobins in Paris inspire traitors and impostors with fear? 2579 Greater power,"replied a member of the committee of supervision,"what are you thinking of?
2579Had the nation the right to condemn and execute him? 2579 Have you, by chance, any refractory priest, any Austrian, any Prussian, concealed in your apartments?"
2579How can we leave when custom is so good? 2579 Is there anything else to do?"
2579Is there nothing else to guard in Paris but the Tuileries and the King? 2579 Look here, citizen,[31100] do you, too, want to put us to sleep?
2579Ninety times out of a hundred, on asking:''Citizen, how did the Electoral Assembly of your canton go off?'' 2579 Was not the 10th of August necessary?

2579And do not anti- Revolutionaries return to dust on beholding it?"
2579And who are designated by this infamous title?
2579Arbitrary taxes, penalties, confiscations, revolutionary expeditions, nomadic garrisons, pillage, what fault can be found with all that?
2579Are not all who oppose the public good, or who do not share it, in the same case?
2579Art thou then like Saturn, to whom fresh holocausts were daily imperative?...
2579But how can we make men adopt such necessary atrocious measures when they are criticizing their adversaries for taking these?
2579But, alas, who can resist the French people when aroused?
2579Can I do otherwise than abhor royalty, after so many of our regal crimes?"]

2579Can a step be taken in or out of Paris without being subject to their oppression or encountering their despotism?
2579Can the commune of Saint- Firmin, indeed, have persuaded itself that it is sovereign, as the letter states?
2579Did not the departments then endorse what Paris did?

2579Is it in those regiments whose officers, with pistols at their breasts, are obliged to leave and give place to amateurs?
2579Is it likely that the victor, whoever he is, will regard people as enemies who are resigned to his rule before- hand?
2579Is it possible that serious men could have listened to such weird nonsense until the bitter end?

2579Letter of M. Frouvières:"Many of the citizens, coming out of their shops, exclaimed: How can they insult the deputies in this way?

37409''Do not you think,''said Mademoiselle to us,''that a Gascony cadet will be sufficiently well lodged?''
37409As I am somewhat brusque, I at once demanded of him,''What is the question?'' 37409 But,"said Mademoiselle,"do you never think of marrying?"
37409Have you told everything?
37409The terraces cost immense sums,said he one day while walking in the grounds;"what good are they?"
37409To whom are you betraying me, Sire? 37409 Where is he, Sire, M. de Lauzun?"
37409Where is the money?
37409Whose absence causes the greater anguish, a lover who should be loved or one who should not be?
37409[ 170] But it was with the Duc de Savoie as with the Prince of Wales, and later with the Prince de Lorraine: Quoi? 37409 [ 195] Did the end of the phrase contain a slight excuse--"which was the fashionable piece"?
37409[ 251] God? 37409 [ 295] Did he believe the mistress innocent or had he pardoned her?
37409''But have you any aversion to the idea?''
37409''You must find it wrong, then, that I should wear them, who am older?''
37409--"Do you find nothing in my person which is disgusting?"
37409Access to this was strictly forbidden; but what would it have mattered, when he would have humbled himself before his master?
37409After all, do you really want me?"
37409At length, Lauzun remarked,"Judging by what I hear, none of these would suit you?"
37409Can it be M. le Prince?"
37409Can it be believed that Anne of Austria and Mazarin were married, as La Palatine,[39] mother of the Regent, asserted?
37409Did the penitents, especially the women, always speak the truth?
37409Do you remember a childish game in which one says,''I have seen him alive, I have seen him dead, I have seen him alive after his death''?
37409Had there been any intercourse with the prisoner?
37409Have all the documents been destroyed through prudence?
37409Have the records of the various prosecutions been destroyed or scattered?
37409Have you no more sought occasions so_ dangerous_ for you?"
37409He replied,"Do they make you ill?"
37409He will lack nothing; but where is he?
37409How could he then have been admitted to the order of Cardinal- priest?
37409How far was Turenne the authorised messenger of the King?
37409How reduce unnecessary expenses?
37409How was he to replace the fellow?
37409How was it possible to keep the budget accounts?
37409How was this strange fashion established at the Court of France, and from there transferred to our theatres?
37409How would this affect the interests of each?
37409I am never to see you more?
37409If he had felt this, would he[ Lauzun] still be there?"
37409If, discontented with the thought of sharing his favours with rivals, she might not in an access of jealousy have tried to poison him, the King?
37409In the_ Malade Imaginaire_, Thomas Diafoirus consults his father before kissing his fiancée:"Shall I kiss her?"
37409In what did this little Lauzun show special merit?
37409Jourdain of M. Jourdain:"Are you at your age going to college to be whipped?"
37409Judge by this fact if the conduct proposed and suggested to you is wise?
37409Lauzun approved all and demanded:"Do you think of marrying?"
37409Lauzun, vexed, demanded,"How much longer is this pleasantry to last?"
37409Mademoiselle grew bitter, and the King wished to end the scene; but she continued to supplicate him:"What, Sire, will you not yield to my tears?"
37409Mademoiselle having urged him to send for a priest, he said,"Whom shall we call?
37409Of what was he afraid?
37409Of what will the world think me capable?"
37409Shadows, phantoms, dissipate yourselves in the presence of the truth; false love, deceitful love, canst thou stand before it?"
37409Shall we conclude that Molière attempted to lessen the limit of the age of love, or was it only in the theatre that fashion exacted young lovers?
37409Should this be done in France or Spain?
37409The Queen demanded every instant:"What shall I do?
37409The ladies present said:"Do you not wish to play cards?"
37409The poor woman could not sleep during the night: how rid herself of Monsieur, if the King should wish"the marriage"?
37409The question to be solved is, could Mazarin marry?
37409The question was,"To whom?"
37409This might be reasonable enough if he asked if France were at war, or if Mademoiselle were married; but why refuse news of his own affairs?
37409Was it after the marriage of Louis XIV.?
37409Was it essential for the safety of France to insist upon such minute precautions?
37409Was it the new music?
37409Was it the"loose morals"of Quinault which caused these?
37409Was this the first time that these names had appeared?
37409Was this the moment in which to expose the country to new shocks?
37409What can you reply to this?"
37409What could be more just than to use her fortune for the common good?
37409What did the King think?
37409What do you say?''
37409What does your Majesty think?"
37409What more natural than to throw upon her the burden of debts contracted to add to the éclat of the family?
37409What shall I do?"
37409What was to be the price?
37409What, shall I speak to you no more?"
37409Who is Cato, her maid, and what had they to do with La Voisin and with those like her?
37409Who would inherit the prestige of Madame?
37409Whom would Monsieur marry?
37409Whose name will appear well in the_ Gazette_?"
37409Why betray news through letters which always fell into the hands of Mazarin?
37409Why conceal from him the fact of his mother being alive or dead?
37409Why leave to Condé, now a Spanish General, the companies raised under the Fronde with the funds of Mademoiselle and bearing her name?
37409Why not frankly take characters from French contemporaries?
37409Why, if he saw so clearly, did he grumble at any kind of work?
37409Would Mademoiselle accept this other way?
37409Would he be gained over by these?
37409Would it be the Grande Mademoiselle?
37409and what attracted women who pursued and sought his favour through cajoleries and gifts?

37409cried the Queen,"sleep all together in one room?
37409de Montespan her humiliations; but why did the King permit such severity?
37409de Montespan then knew that she had been denounced, but with what proof?
37409de Montespan?

30708What warrant can the French make, now seals and words of princes being traps to catch innocents and bring them to the butchery? 30708 What, Madam,"observed Walsingham,"and the exercise of their religion too?"
30708What, then, would Philip have me do?
30708Where are your prayers and your psalms?
30708Where is the God they invoke so much? 30708 Where is your God?"
30708Why, Madam,said the puzzled and somewhat pertinacious diplomatist,"will you have them live without exercise of religion?"
30708Would you have me understand,interrupts Catharine,"that we must resort to arms again?"

30708After courteously embracing him, Montsoreau thus abruptly disclosed the object of his visit:"Monsieur de la Rivière, do you know why I am come?
30708And where could competent generals be secured for the prosecution of hostilities?
30708And,"continued he,"do you, who have become what you now are by my means, dare to tell me that I come to sow discord among you?
30708But does it need a word to prove that the reference was to a_ papal_ rising, or, at least, papal compulsion to violate the edict of toleration?
30708But grant they were guilty-- they dreamt treason that night in their sleep; what did the innocent men, women, and children at Lyons?
30708But some one may say:''Pray, friar, what are you saying?
30708But what better security had they for its observance more than they had had for the observance of that which had preceded it?
30708But what was she doing at this very moment?
30708Does not the frank suggestion furnish a clue to the method which was sometimes practised in other cases?
30708Feray- je des Martyrs ou Vierges?
30708Had he not been promising, again and again, for four years?
30708Had not Attila been defeated, with his three hundred thousand men, not far from Toulouse?
30708Had peace been concluded with the Huguenots only that they might anew be treated as rebels and enemies?
30708Have I not so read in the Bible?
30708How could the churches, with their altars, their statues, their pictures, their relics, their priestly vestments, be guaranteed from invasion?
30708How many, and who were the victims whose sacrifice was predetermined?
30708If so, what peculiar significance in the_ four_ days?
30708If the two were irreconcilable, why suffer the Huguenots to assemble outside the walls?
30708In answer to the question, Why he had resorted to acts of cruelty unbecoming to his great valor?
30708Is it become so heinous a thing to show mercy?"
30708Is it not found that Saint Luke thrice made with his own hand the portrait of Our Lady?...
30708Is that the manner to handle men either culpable or suspected?
30708May it not properly be asked, what such testimony as this is worth?
30708Meanwhile, where was the governor?
30708Might not Catharine and Charles be tempted to retaliate by trying the effect of a surprise upon the Huguenots themselves?
30708Must we obey this order?
30708Or, was the peace only a prelude to the massacre-- a skilfully devised snare to entrap incautious and credulous enemies?
30708Or, what benefit will it be to me to live thus in continual distrust of the king?
30708Or, why might not both be reinforced by the troops of La Noue, who had been accomplishing such exploits in Aunis and Saintonge?
30708Ought Christians to tolerate the existence of such abominations, even if sanctioned by the government?
30708Où est le livre et le calice Pour faire l''office divin?

30708Throwing down his racket, he exclaimed:"Am I, then, never to have peace?
30708To a Gray Friar, who attempted to convince him that he was in error and had been deceived, he replied:"How deceived?
30708To the question,"Does your Royal Highness recognize the subject?"
30708Was Catharine sincerely in favor of peace?
30708Was not that holy man Lazarus hungry?
30708Was the treaty a necessity forced upon the court by the losses of men and treasure sustained during three years of almost continual civil conflict?

30708What part must be assigned to religious zeal?
30708What shall I do?
30708What shall we preach?

30708What was it before the massacre of Vassy?
30708What was the import of these orders?
30708What will become of me?
30708What, it may be asked, led to the commission of so fatal an error?
30708Where could a more advantageous match be sought for Henry of Anjou, the French monarch''s brother?

30708Why do you go counter to my edicts?

30708Will God, think you, still sleep?
30708Will not their blood ask vengeance; shall not the earth be accursed that hath sucked up the innocent blood poured out like water upon it?...
30708With whom, then, should she commence but with the brilliant Condé?
30708Would she have desired to include the King of Navarre and the Prince of Condé?

30708[ 85][ Sidenote: Can iconoclasm be repressed?]
30708[ 922] Was she projecting anything still more dishonorable?

20124''And by what enchantment,''rejoined Dame Garsende,''does your knight- errantship behold in us giants or monsters?'' 20124 ''And what is your name, who are so good a messenger?''
20124''And who sends you?'' 20124 ''Have you never seen him?''
20124''What voice is that?'' 20124 ''What?''
20124''You are, then, obstinately resolved to drive me to extremity,''said he,''and will not consent to my demand?'' 20124 After long months of sad regret Returned!--return''d?
20124And were these fairies?
20124But, if he loves, why does he thus conceal himself?
20124By love and hate''s alternate passions torn, How shall I turn me from my thronging woes? 20124 Do you know what you would destroy?"
20124Is it even so?
20124Is it sin to love him yet? 20124 Is this coast, then, indeed, so dangerous?"
20124Now, Orton had_ taken a fancy_ to the Lord of Coarraze; and, after a pause, he said,''Are you in earnest?''
20124Poustillou qué lettres portis Que si counte tà Paris?

20124Tell me, Count, if you would rather Owe your lands and castles high To the Pope, our holy father, Or to sacred chivalry? 20124 What were you dreaming, dear grandmother-- answer me-- what is it?"
20124Why do you moan thus, Françonnette?
20124Why should we not be quite as blest, Without the wealth the great may own? 20124 Yield thee, yield thee straight, King Francis, Death or prison is your lot;""Wherefore call you me King Francis?
20124--"What simple squire art thou, To bid King Henry yield him, And to thy bidding bow?"
20124--exclaimed he, at length, in a terrible voice--"do_ you_ open your arms to me as to your son?
20124Again came the question--"When, in England?"
20124And shall I coldly from thy arms remove, Blush for my birth- place, and disown my love?
20124And to my heart I whisper''d low, When to my fields return''d again,"Is not the Gascon Poet now As happy as the shepherd swain?"
20124And why not, at my bidding, leave me?
20124Borne on thy wings amidst the air, Sweet bird, where wilt thou go?
20124Brilliant and gorgeous as was the present scene, what would have been that which should have welcomed the affianced bride of his son to his court?
20124But who is she advancing this way?
20124But why is her cheek so covered with blushes?
20124Could she be capable of deceiving his affection?
20124Did he gain any by combating against true religion and his conscience?
20124Did not the sorcerer say she was sold to the evil one, and that man bold enough to seek her would find only death in the nuptial chamber?
20124Do I then sigh in vain for thee; And wilt thou, ever thus severe, Be as a cloistered nun to me?
20124Do you not see her cottage shining white through the thick hazel branches?
20124From whence come you, friend?''
20124He sprang towards him, and throwing himself into his arms, exclaimed--"Where are they taking you, dear grandfather?
20124Her husband would say:"''Well, what news have you?--from what country do you come?''
20124I have no longer a relish for that which interested me before-- to what end do I seek to gain wealth?
20124I will forget the brilliant scenes that have bewildered me too long; but to what do I now return?
20124Is he, then, indeed so wretched?"
20124Is my torture, my regret, For his loss-- or for my fall?
20124Is the great merchant, Alexander Auffrédy, still, as he once was, the ornament and benefactor of his native town?"
20124Is there not in yonder tower an_ oubliette_ that yawns for the disobedient vassal?
20124Is this the cold return My tenderness should find?
20124Let them go instantly, or we burn them!--Who presses forward there?"
20124Of all his hosts,--of all his friends, and guards, and warriors, and nobles, what remains to the French king?
20124Qui est celluy qui plus et oultre moy usera de ta saincte force, mais qui sera desormais ton possesseur?
20124Shall I go secretly, as if I were but a disgraced woman?
20124She has such power over those who love her, one would say she was a witch; but with her magic what does she seek?
20124The knight then could not but rouse himself; and, sitting up, cried out,''Who knocks so loud at my chamber at such an hour?''
20124The next day was a triumph for Pau:--"When,"asked every one we met--"when, in_ England_, would you see such a 1st of November?"
20124The question is, could they read_ at all_, and if the epistle were read for them by a more learned neighbour, would not French be as easy as Basque?
20124The sun broke forth, and all looked promising; but where were the towers of the castle?
20124This being the case, how does it agree with the extraordinarily antique origin of the Basques?
20124This news made a strange impression on the mind of Auffrédy,--could it be possible, after all, that she loved him?
20124To conduct me to my grave,[21] I require a friend-- I have none-- will you act the part of one?"
20124Was it possible, thought he, that she had some other attachment?
20124Was it sin to love at all?
20124Were it best a knight and noble Conquer''d by his sword alone, Bearing heat, and cold, and trouble, By his arm to gain his own?"
20124What cries are those so near and so loud?
20124What do I say?
20124What friend''s mansion did he still honour with his presence, and which of his admirers was made happy by seeing him partake of his hospitality?
20124What has the day?
20124What now remained to the brilliant Gaston Phoebus?
20124What wilt thou do for her-- thou whose heart is so soft?"
20124When will my truth be paid, And all thy coldness cease?"
20124Where are the splendid crowns you held out to him?
20124Where is he?"
20124Where is now thy name, thy titles, thy prerogatives?
20124Where is she?
20124Where is the lively maiden?
20124Where was Françonnette?
20124Where was he at the expiration of the second year?
20124Where was the young, blooming, accomplished, and promising heir, so loved by his people, and once the object of his pride and hope?
20124Why banish love and joy thy bowers-- Why thus my passion disapprove?
20124Why did you not let me live and die a Cagot as I was born?
20124Why does she sing no more?
20124Why is my coldness all forgot?
20124Why might not this carefully- attended and richly- adorned queen be the beautiful and fatal"serpent of old Nile"--the fascinating Cleopatra herself?
20124Would they have us hold an open council to hear them, or unite in one common opinion against the Catholic Church?
20124and comes not yet?
20124and how render the whole place sightly without clearing away the rubbish of the old_ Tour__ de la Monnaie_, now built in with shabby tenements?
20124are you not my father?
20124believe me,''tis not bliss, Such triumphs do but purchase pain; What is it to be loved like this, To her who can not love again?
20124desolate, and lamenting for thy noble heir, what is to be thy fate?
20124disé l''infourtunat,"La tendresse et l''amou qui t''ey pourtat Soun aco lous rébuts qu''ey méritat?
20124exclaimed Odon d''Artignelouve;''dost thou give me the lie?
20124for whom should I hoard treasure?
20124he says,''what is there in the world that can compare to liberty?
20124how restore those beautifully- carved door- ways, and cornices, and sculptured windows, elaborate to the very roof?
20124in what have I offended him?
20124must she behold Pascal dead before her?
20124my lords, what have I done to the king that he should quit me?
20124roared the pitiless Odon;''who now is a false traitor, who now has lied, and proved himself a vile impostor?
20124said Guiton;"you all desire it?
20124said he, musing;"you do n''t surely imagine--_do_ you think she would have me?"
20124said the unhappy youth;"for the tenderness and the affection which I have borne towards you, is this wretchedness a fitting reward?
20124say, fair prince, where is your wound?"
20124seest thou not Those words have only pow''r to grieve me?
20124to sing in our distress; It seems the bitterness of woe is less; But if we may not in our language mourn, What will the polish''d give us in return?
20124traitor!--why will you not eat?''
20124what defect finds he in my person?
20124where are thy fiefs and thy domains?
20124who art letters bringing, Tell me what in France is said?"
20124who composed so sweet a lay?"
20124why did you let me wander into a world which I ought never to have known?
20124why did you offend your father?
20124why do you leave us who love you so dearly?"
20124why do you weep?
20124without him what have I?
4289As for the other,said the Journal des Debats disdainfully,"on what field of battle did he win his epaulets?
4289Does the King wish to run the chances of a complete overturning by throwing himself into the hands of the ultras? 4289 Have they any influence over the people?"
4289Where shall I find more happiness than here?
4289Who, then,she said,"would buy the works of these poor young people, if I did not?"
4289You wish then to impose yourself upon me as minister?
4289--"Did you see the governess?"
4289--"What do cheers signify?"
4289A Bonaparte?
4289A National Guardsman ventures to speak:--"Does Your Majesty think that cheers for the Charter are an outrage?"
4289After the opening of the session, he wrote to his former minister, February 6, 1828:--"What do you think of my discourse?
4289And by what right can the people be asked to have a better memory when such an example is given to them?
4289And yet what did he become?
4289At Blaye could she imagine that the citadel, hung with white flags, whose cannon were fired in her honor, would so soon become her prison?
4289By what means could he mount the throne?
4289Chateaubriand cried:--"What hand has reconstructed the roof of these vaults and prepared these empty tombs?
4289Could he be reproached for having taken the ceremony of his coronation seriously?
4289Could she suspect the reception that awaited her, four years later, in the places where she had just been the object of veritable worship?
4289Did not Chateaubriand emigrate with the King and the princes?
4289Do they shout hurrah for the Charter?
4289Does not this phrase show the illusions of which Charles X. was the victim?
4289Had he not their virtues, and especially their devotion?"
4289He wrote to the King, July 29, 1828:--"A cabal is formed to deprive me of the direction of the theatres; and by whom and for what?
4289How can it be done?
4289How can you undertake to check the march of a man who makes no step?"
4289How could one resist such language from the lips of such a prince?
4289How, at twenty- five, could one resist this tide of opinion?"
4289If it were religious, was not the presence of the clergy in large numbers natural?
4289If they were disinherited, what would they say?
4289In the Revolution, during its most horrible periods, when tragedy, as was said, ran the streets, what were the theatres offering you?
4289In the vestibule he paused:"What chamber have you prepared for me?"
4289Is it not amusing, this picture of a marriage under the old regime?
4289Is not the Church of Saint- Denis itself a funeral discourse in stone more grandiose and eloquent than that of the reverend orator?
4289Is this saying that Louis- Philippe was already at this time thinking of dethroning his benefactor, his relative, and his King?
4289It is said openly, as eight years since: This branch can not keep the crown; it is impossible; who will succeed it?
4289Mademoiselle throws herself upon his neck:"Bon- papa, you are content, are n''t you?"
4289The Duchess of Orleans responded:"What would you have?
4289The Grand Preceptor knocked at the door of the royal chamber; the Grand Chamberlain said in a loud voice:--"What do you seek?"
4289The forgetful Marie Louise?
4289The same day the Drapeau Blanc said:--"Why is there an unusual crowd passing about the palace of the cherished monarch and princes?
4289They who did not respect the virtues of Malesherbes, the talents of Lavoisier, the youth of Barnave, will they recoil from one crime more?
4289To whom can this parade really convey any illusion?
4289Was he not in his council at the very hour of the battle of Waterloo?
4289Was not Charles X. at Coblenz?
4289Was not that for a pious sovereign the accomplishment of a sacred duty?
4289Was this antipathy real?
4289Well, what do you advise me to do?"
4289What chance of reigning had the Duke of Reichstadt, that child of thirteen, condemned by all the Powers of Europe?
4289What one of us would not confide to him his life, his fortune, his honor?
4289What will the King do?
4289When she was spoken to of preparations for departure,"Already?"
4289When the King takes this distraction so necessary to him, why hasten to make it known to the public?
4289Who better than their worthy counsellor seconded them in the impulses of generous courtesy so common with them?
4289Who knows?
4289Who would be regent in his name?
4289Will he believe that a consecration shelters him from misfortune?
4289Will he keep his ministers?
4289Will he surrender his ministers to the popular demand?
4289Would they not attack the will on the ground of undue influence?
4289and Charles X. possessed the secret of awakening lively sympathy in the world of artists and men of letters?
4289of what service to you are your courage and your wise opinions?
4289receive anointment in the same place where he in his turn is to receive it?
4289to Ghent?
37892Have you taken any precautions for the defence of the Chamber?
37892How is it that these premonitory symptoms escape the general view? 37892 How long do you think,"I asked,"that all this will last?"
37892To save the Republic with the assistance of the Republicans? 37892 Well, Eugène,"I said, when I saw him,"how are affairs going on?"
37892Well, gentlemen, if it is right to have this patriotic prejudice at all times, how much more is it not right to have it in our own? 37892 What are you doing?"
37892What do you mean by very well? 37892 What good or what harm can it do at the present juncture?"
37892What is it we have undertaken to do?
37892What is that?
37892What will you have me do?
37892Who is beating to arms? 37892 Who is thinking of the Chamber?"
37892Why are they beating to arms?
37892Why did you part from the Opposition on the occasion of the banquets?
37892Why, how can I tell?
37892Wo n''t you come and dine with us this evening?
37892---- ought he to enter the Ministry?, 268.
37892... as it were a gale of revolution in the air?
37892And now, who knows how far he will go with his constitutional proposals?''
37892And what can we do of any use without guides?
37892And why did it fall?
37892Are these more difficult to snap than those of other men?
37892Between now and then, do you imagine that the Bonapartist movement, aided, precipitated by you, will cease?
37892But ought we to wish to become ministers?
37892But what prerogatives and what agents should he be given, what responsibilities laid upon him?
37892But which among us to choose?
37892But will they ever be destroyed and replaced by others?
37892Can not a way be found by which everybody''s honour will be saved?
37892Can you go as far as that?
37892Can you say to- day that you are certain of to- morrow?
37892Chambers, one or two?
37892Could anything give a better idea of the general state of minds than this childish scene?
37892Did it hope that this delay would complete the general irritation, or did it in its heart of hearts wish to give it time to calm down?
37892Do they only want to have a few poor devils handed over to them?
37892Do you know how Bugeaud was occupied during that decisive night, at the Tuileries itself, where he had just received the command- in- chief?
37892Do you know what may happen in France a year hence, or even a month or a day hence?
37892Do you not feel, by some intuitive instinct which is not capable of analysis, but which is undeniable, that the earth is quaking once again in Europe?
37892Do you not feel... what shall I say?
37892Do you not listen to what they say to themselves each day?
37892Do you think it was by some particular mischance?
37892Do you think it was by the act of some man, by the deficit, the oath in the Tennis Court, La Fayette, Mirabeau?
37892Do you think we are such fools as to scatter our soldiers on such a day as this over the small streets of the suburbs?
37892He then said, in a hesitating voice,"Am I to conclude from what has just happened that the Committee wishes me to leave it?"
37892How could it ever perish?
37892How was it possible, indeed, to foresee how far an always exuberant imagination might go, unrestrained by reason or virtue?
37892How would the Montagnards be able to restrain themselves?
37892I heard a man in a blouse, standing next to me, say to his fellow,"See that vulture down there?
37892Is Kossuth''s skin worth a general war?
37892Is it not best to content ourselves with going through the Tuileries gardens?
37892Is it possible to imagine anything more disgraceful?
37892Is it to the interest of the Powers that the Eastern Question should be opened at this moment and in this fashion?
37892Is not this characteristic?
37892Is the life of kings held by stronger threads?
37892It is true that he received the order not to fight; but why did he obey so extraordinary an order, which circumstances had rendered so impracticable?
37892It was of the essence of the Republic that the head of the Executive Power should be responsible; but responsible for what, and to what extent?
37892No, I did not expect such a revolution as we were destined to have; and who could have expected it?
37892Now, where was the spirited defender of the Monarchy that evening?
37892On which side the honest men?
37892On which side were the rogues?
37892Shall I tell you one thing more?
37892That would have been unjust and ridiculous; and if he was not to be responsible for the administration proper, who would be?
37892Then I went on:"But of what Republic is it a question?
37892There are imperious necessities which are the same for all governments, whether monarchies or republics; and who has given rise to these necessities?
37892To whom do we owe the cruel experience which has given us eighteen months of violent agitations, incessant conspiracies, formidable insurrections?
37892Under these conditions, what could a President elected by the people be other than a pretender to the Crown?
37892What colleagues to give us?
37892What do they want, after all?
37892What general policy to adopt?
37892What ministries to allot to us?
37892What was its object in thus postponing the debate?
37892What would be the issue of this new struggle?
37892Where are the new virtues it has gained, the old vices it has laid aside?
37892Where falsehood?
37892Where is the country that has gone so far as to give votes to servants, paupers and soldiers?
37892Where lay truth?
37892Where will it stop?
37892Who can fail here to recognise the final symptom of the old democratic disease of the time, whose crisis would seem to be at hand?"
37892Who would have thought that it was Bastide who should eventually induce the Assembly to make up its mind?
37892Why had the event thus at the same time deceived the hopes and fears of both parties?
37892Will Socialism remain buried in the disdain with which the Socialists of 1848 are so justly covered?
37892Will you allow it to take you by surprise?
37892Would your party be willing to, if you are?
37892You are glad because the Government is upset; but do you not see that it is authority itself which is overthrown?"
37892You know the Guizot Ministry has been dismissed?"
37892[ 14] But what office to give me?
37892why did n''t you tell me that before the 15th?"
9480And when the start?
9480Can you imagine,wrote M. Edmond About, forty years ago,"an inn at the world''s end that cost a hundred thousand francs in the building?
9480Ho, mate, why thus so still and squat?
9480Is Thursday''s worldling, Friday''s sage? 9480 The lions?
9480What part, forsooth? 9480 Will folks read my stories when I am gone, doctor?"
9480A spaniel hastened at the cry,"Come, mate, what''s this to- do about?"
9480And did he not write--"I dreamed of an ideal love And Benedick remain?"
9480And how could it be otherwise?
9480Brother, pray with these, What part or lot have such as you?"
9480But why a disagreeable country?
9480But why write of Toulouse?
9480Can any indeed well be humbler?
9480Did she ever forgive the recalcitrant?
9480Did that backsliding in early life disturb the great painter''s stormy but dazzling career?
9480Did the lover look back, regretting the broken word, the wrong done to another?
9480Does the French language contain a more touching record than that of the great Navarre''s farewell to his Huguenot brethren?
9480Had, indeed, some worthy vine- grower poured out such a plaint in the poet''s ears?
9480How could he foresee the variety of new methods that were so soon to transform book illustration?
9480How long such a state of things will exist, who can say?
9480How to give some faint conception of the indescribable?
9480IV"Must all?"
9480Is it any wonder that facile success and excessive laudation should turn the stripling''s head?
9480Is not the solemn reception into Rome of instructed men and women among ourselves a matter of every day?
9480No tourists meet us here, yet whither shall we go for scenes sublimer or more engaging?
9480This was a towel- horse( perhaps the comfortably- appointed parsonage had set the fashion?
9480To which voice would he hearken?
9480Was it here that Richepin partly studied the mendicant fraternity, giving us in poetry his astounding appreciation, psychological and linguistic?
9480What must be their capacities in robust health?
9480What three words can convey so much pathos, heroism and generosity as"il gran riffiuto?"
9480What would my own Suffolk ploughmen have said to the notion of spending the night in an ox- stall?
9480When did a farm- labourer''s son among ourselves learn any more of agriculture than his father or fellow- workmen could teach him?
9480When did a rheumatic ploughman have recourse to Bath or Buxton?
9480When she sets about preparing a bed for him, he remonstrates--"Good dame, what means that new- made bed, Those sheets so finely spun?
9480When will Arthur Young have his tablet in Westminster Abbey, I wonder?
9480Where is the compensation of such liberality?
9480Where, tyrant, shall I shelter find; Advancing years what will they be, My home and comforts left behind?"
9480Who can say, this humble craftsman may yet have had much to do with his son''s aspirations?
9480Who can say?
9480Who can say?
9480Who can say?
9480Who cares a straw for the saint and her story now?
9480Who ever heard of an English labourer taking a fourteen days''rest at the seaside?
9480Who when visiting the beautiful little town of Saumur thinks of the historic figures connected with its name?
9480Who would choose to live on Ararat?
9480Why should Germans, Russians, Dutch, every other European nation, receive treatment equally generous?
9480Why should we be supplied, not only with every English newspaper we ever heard of, but with_ Punch_,_ Truth_, and similar publications to boot?
9480Would he yield, as have done thousands of well- intentioned men and women before him, to self- interest and worldly wisdom?
9480Would love and plighted troth overrule that insistent siren song, Vocation?
35037Ah Mees Betsee,he asked the next morning,"were you frightened by the_ tremblement de terre_?
35037Ah, where were your eyes? 35037 An Englishman dressed like a Chinaman?"
35037And this was really you?
35037And you?
35037Are General Bertrand and Count Montholon prisoners too?
35037As he can not possibly hurt us, why should n''t we go to the valley to see him land?
35037Balcombe, you must bring Misses Jane and Betsee next week to see me, eh? 35037 Bonaparte was on Elba months ago; what has England to do with him now?"
35037But did you see Napoleon?
35037But do n''t you think Madame Montholon pretty?
35037But how can that be?
35037But how did he look?
35037But where is your mother?
35037But where will he live, papa, when he comes ashore?
35037But you believe in predestination?
35037Can you see?
35037Did I? 35037 Did you cry too?"
35037Did you pass for an Englishman?
35037Do you like music?
35037Do you really want to see it? 35037 Do you suppose he will be in the first boat?"
35037Has any one run away with a favorite_ robe de bal_, or is the pet black nurse, old Sarah, dead?
35037Has le petit Las Cases proved inconstant? 35037 How large is it?"
35037I mean, why did you change your religion?
35037Is it a large fleet?
35037Mees Betsee,he added, after a moment''s pause,"what would you like to have in remembrance?"
35037Mees Jane,he asked one evening,"have you ever heard the London cries?"
35037Not like the lady I was obliged to say agreeable things to yesterday?
35037Now what do you think of that, Miss Betsy?
35037Of Italy?
35037Of Russia?
35037Oh, Mees Betsee, why make such faces?
35037Oh, Mees Betsee,he would cry,"why do you wear trousers?
35037Oh, did n''t you think Fairyland just the most perfect place?
35037Oh, have you seen him?
35037Oh, mamma, do you suppose they are coming here? 35037 Oh, papa, what was he like?"
35037Oh, was he perfectly awful? 35037 Seen whom?"
35037Sir,said Betsy to Napoleon one day,"may I present a lady to you?
35037So they send him here?
35037Talma?
35037Tell me, does she ask about your visits to Longwood?
35037That is because I am no longer a general,--not since I returned from Egypt,--but why not call me''Napoleon''?
35037That is well, and what else did you study? 35037 The horse?"
35037The man- of- war that came in to- day?
35037Then why did you run and bring him up to her? 35037 Then you can tell me what is the capital of France?"
35037This is the ibis?
35037Well, he seems like one of us, does n''t he, Jane? 35037 Well,"persisted Betsy,"do you know the story about them?"
35037Were you not afraid of being seized as a spy?
35037Were you warned?
35037What are you doing?
35037What brought you here?
35037What can have occurred?
35037What can it be?
35037What do you really think,she asked her father one day,"about this quarrel between the Governor and the Emperor?"
35037What do you want?
35037What does it mean?
35037What has he now?
35037What is it?
35037What is that on the side of the mountain?
35037What is that to you?
35037What is the song?
35037What sort of dances are in fashion there?
35037What were they like?
35037What would be the use of fireplaces,asked Betsy,"when we have no coals?"
35037When will he come ashore?
35037Where have you been?
35037Where is the Emperor, where is the Emperor?
35037Where is the Emperor?
35037Who goes there?
35037Who is the most beautiful woman on the island?
35037Who taught you?
35037Who''s he?
35037Who, Napoleon?
35037Whose house is that?
35037Why have you refused your daughter to the surgeon of the flagship?
35037Why should he be killed?
35037Why should n''t we?
35037Why should n''t you give a ball before you leave The Briars? 35037 Will they put him in a dungeon?"
35037Will you be so good,she said almost timidly to the little girl,"as to show me the part of the cottage occupied by the Emperor?"
35037You are not frightened, are you, Mees Betsee?
35037_ Pourquoi avez- vous tourné turque?_["Why did you turn Turk?"]
35037_ Pourquoi avez- vous tourné turque?_["Why did you turn Turk?"]
35037_ Qui l''a brulé?_repeated Napoleon.
35037After Napoleon had asked the usual questions,"Are you married?"
35037At another time Betsy ran up to Napoleon, crying,"Why is your face so swollen and inflamed?"
35037Betsee pour te consoler?_"["Tell me, what do you wish me to do to console you?"]
35037Betsee pour te consoler?_"["Tell me, what do you wish me to do to console you?"]
35037Betsee,"he would then cry in French,"you are a stupid little creature; when will you become wise?"
35037Betsee,_ etes- vous sage_, eh, eh?"
35037Betsy,_ as tu obei mes ordres et gagné l''éventail_?"
35037But what is that white thing?"
35037CHAPTER XI THE EMPEROR''S VISITORS"Who danced the best at the Governor''s ball?"
35037Ca n''t you think of something else?"
35037Did n''t you see anybody there?"
35037Did n''t you see him?
35037Do n''t you remember that he set out with the Emperor and Generals Bertrand, Montholon, and Gorgaud?"
35037Do n''t you think me a good rider?"
35037Do you know any French songs?
35037Does he realize that Austria is no longer his friend-- that Prussia is ready to fall upon him?
35037Does it come from England, now making great efforts to gather her strength for a long contest?
35037Even if he had made no attempt to recover the throne of France for himself, might he not have put forth efforts to have his son acknowledged Emperor?
35037He is still the idol of the French people-- as well he may be-- for what ruler has ever done so much for them?
35037Here, O''Meara, have you brought the fan I promised Miss Betsy?"
35037How can a prisoner be busy?
35037I urged him to let me call in another surgeon, so that if he should grow no better, too much blame need not fall on me, and what was his reply?"
35037If he had been permitted to settle down in England as he wished, as a country gentleman, would this have satisfied him?
35037Is Josephine as contented wearing the crown of an Empress as she was wandering light- hearted in the forests of Martinique?
35037Is Napoleon really happier now than when he roamed, a fearless boy, over the rough hills of Corsica?
35037Now, was n''t he greedy?"
35037Now, what could be the matter with it?
35037Or does the growing ambition of Napoleon mean the overthrow of the very things he is working for?
35037She turned to one of the servants:"Has my dress been packed?"
35037Then he asked, sternly and abruptly,"_ Qui l''a brulé?_"["Who burned it?"]
35037Then he asked, sternly and abruptly,"_ Qui l''a brulé?_"["Who burned it?"]
35037Then, turning to the young girl:"What do you know of the Duc d''Enghien?"
35037Then, with the eagerness of a boy anxious to display a new toy, he added,"What do you think of the place?
35037Were n''t you frightened?"
35037What could this mean?
35037What foolish thing did you do?"
35037What is the matter?"
35037What is the trouble?"
35037What were you laughing at yesterday when Lucy was here?
35037What will you put against it?"
35037What would the Emperor think?
35037When he did, instead of taking offence, he only smiled as he turned to Betsy, saying,"But what does he mean by calling me''Bony''?"
35037When will you ride up to Longwood?"
35037Who could have been so mean as to borrow the only pony that I can ride?
35037Why do you wear them, Mees Betsee?"
35037Why is he alone?
35037Why should that terrible man be permitted to land and destroy all this beauty, as he would, of course, on the first opportunity?
35037Will that do?"
35037You have not been here for a long time, Mees Betsy, what is the matter?"
35037You speak French?"
35037["Have you obeyed my orders and won the fan?"]
35037and"How many children have you?"
35037qu''as tu, Mademoiselle Betsee?_"he asked.
50495And where is that?
50495And will you sign your name to it?
50495And your friend?
50495Are n''t you going out to- night?
50495Are they, all right, do you think?
50495But why worry?
50495Can you not make me un franc? 50495 Dance?"
50495Did you ever? 50495 Did you not see me draw it while looking at you?"
50495Do I look like that?
50495Do?
50495Has not monsieur a cigarette?
50495Shall we have some lait chaud and a croissant?
50495The Boul''Mich''or Montmartre?
50495Then you will take charge of his body?
50495What are they saying?
50495What do you want?
50495What does he do?
50495Where is he?
50495Will you give it to me?
50495Yes? 50495 You translate for me, wo n''t you?"
50495Youarre Eengleesh?
50495_ Comment, vous n''avez pas de noir?_he roared.
50495_ Vous ferez mon portrait, n''est- ce- pas?_begged a dark- eyed beauty of Bishop, in a smooth, pleasant voice.
50495_ Vous êtes Américain?_continued the master.
50495Ah,_ les concierges!_ But what would Paris be without them?
50495Américain?"
50495And then, who could tell but what fame might unexpectedly crown them in the end?
50495Are not these ancient walls the same that echoed the wit, badinage, and laughter of the masters?
50495But he rallied and assured her that her love was reciprocated, for who, he asked, could resist so beautiful a face, so warm a heart?
50495But here was the rub: Would Mr. Thompkins care to be so radically different here for one night-- just one night-- from what he was at home?
50495But why should not it have been a glorious evening high up among the chimney- pots of old Paris?
50495Could this really be the quiet Johnson of the Ecole, who but a week ago had been showing his mother and charming sister over Paris?
50495En voulez- vous du bon lait bien chaud?_"She poured out four bowls of steaming milk, and gave us each a roll.
50495Es eet not verra a beautiful night?"
50495For what?
50495Had monsieur a cigarette to spare?
50495Her other name?
50495How dare you insult the young poet who is now singing?"
50495How many men have you sent hither to damnation with those beautiful eyes, those rosy, tempting lips?
50495How much longer will this last?
50495Is it possible for Paris to consume all of this in a day?
50495Is not this the place in which greatness had budded and blossomed in the centuries gone?
50495It closed by asking,"Could you call at the hotel this evening, say at seven?"
50495Monsieur Beeshop, comment vas tu?_""_ Tiens!
50495Où sont tes ailes?_"and other mocking jests greet her as she creeps among the tables.
50495Payez- moi un bock?_ Yes?"
50495Payez- moi un bock?_ Yes?"
50495She spoke Engleesh, and demurely asked Bishop if"we will go to ze_ café_ ensemble, n''est- ce- pas?"
50495The girl beside me said to me, in a low voice, without looking at me,--"_Monsieur est Anglais?_""No,"I answered.
50495Then the brute swaggered up to us and demanded,--"What the devil do you want to drink, anyway?
50495Then their appearance would be less and less regular, and they would finally disappear altogether-- whither?
50495Was not that more than they could hope to earn by a whole day''s hard work?
50495Was not this the great Aristide Bruant, the immortal of Montmartre?
50495Was she not the queen of the models of Paris?
50495What had she been?
50495What was the gross, hard, eager world to them?
50495Who was she?
50495Why do you tremble?
50495Why waste money on professional models?
50495Would he not live on a lower floor if he were able?
50495Yes, anything hot would be good, even milk; but where could we get it?
50495You are finished, are n''t you?
50495[ Illustration: 0141]"Ah, milord, how do you do?
50495for did we not drink to the loved ones in a distant land, and were not our guests the prettiest among the pretty toilers of our court?
50495protested another, stroking Bishop''s Valasquez beard; and then, archly and coaxingly,"_ Qu''est- ce que vous m''offrez, monsieur?
14290Are we to talk about fashion, at such a time?
14290How smile, sir?
14290Is there, then, no means to enlighten Napoleon as to his true situation, or to save him if he persists in destroying himself? 14290 Sire, what are you coming here for?
14290What did you mean to do with that knife?
14290What is the wind?
14290What will become of us,asked the Czar,"if Napoleon accepts your mediation?"
14290Why do you wish to kill me?
14290Would you thank me if I pardoned you?
14290[ 564] Why this wish for wider limits? 14290 ''s Ministers doing? 14290 ***** CHAPTER XL WATERLOO Would Wellington hold on to his position? 14290 ***** CHAPTER XXIX ERFURTAt bottom the great question is-- who shall have Constantinople?"
14290Am I to make them?"
14290And how came it that Napoleon and Ney missed this golden opportunity?
14290And if he longed for repose, would the Opposition in England and the malcontents in France have let him rest?
14290And their chief, why did he not share their glorious fate?
14290And what of Napoleon, in part the product and in part the cause, of this strange reaction?
14290And where is Schwarzenberg?
14290And where, we may ask, could a less unpleasant place of detention have been found?
14290And who has ever borne a heavier burden?
14290And would it end as long as Napoleon saw any chance of snatching a temporary success?
14290Are you going mad at Paris?"
14290At the close of January, 1808, he wrote to Junot asking him:"If unexpected events occurred in Spain, what would you fear from the Spanish troops?
14290Besides, if she had to traverse other States to come to him, would she ever do so?
14290Besides, what do they mean with their fatalism?
14290But how can Prussians be there in force?
14290But how treat with England, who wishes to bind me not to build more than thirty ships of the line in my ports?
14290But on what ground?
14290But to Ney''s request for more troops he returned the petulant answer:"Troops?
14290But what did he presume that the allied forces in Bohemia would be doing while he overwhelmed Blücher in Silesia?
14290But what responsible person could trust his words after Elba, where he repeatedly told Campbell that he had done with the world and was a dead man?]
14290But what were these against the trained host of more than 100,000 men now marching against the feeble barriers on the north and east?
14290But why?
14290But would he have ignored them, had he been in Bathurst''s place?]
14290But would not this encouragement embolden the Emperor to crush the contumacious Chambers?
14290But you, sir, he did not know you even by sight: then, why this great devotion of yours?''
14290Could the man, who had been wellnigh murdered by the rabble of Avignon and Orgon, hope to march in peace through that royalist province?
14290Could you easily rid yourself of them?
14290Did that example inspire the French Emperor, or did he take counsel from his own boundless resources of brain and will?
14290Did these words induce the Prussians to accept battle at Ligny?
14290Do you know the prime cause of the fall of the Bourbons?
14290For what did Austria demand of him?
14290For what had he gained?
14290For what was his position at this time?
14290Had Metternich the full assent of those Governments when he offered the French Emperor the natural frontiers?
14290Has he irrevocably staked his own and his son''s fate on the last cannon?"
14290Have you despatched a courier with my final determination?''
14290Her woman''s wit flew to the utterance:"May I consider it a token of friendship, and that you grant my request for Magdeburg?"
14290How can we between July 5th and 20th end a negotiation which ought to embrace the whole world?"
14290How could Blücher hope for help from forces so weak and scattered?
14290How could he face the Opposition, already wellnigh triumphant in the sad Melville business, with a King''s Speech in which this was the chief news?
14290How is this to be accounted for?
14290If the plague of rats was really very bad, why is it that Gourgaud made so little of it?]
14290If the populace had not as yet declared for the Bourbons, who could wonder at that, when the allies persisted in negotiating with Napoleon?
14290In that bargaining and burglarious age, was it not better to build a more lasting habitation than this venerable ruin?
14290In that case, would not Austria make peace, and leave Alexander and Blücher at his mercy?
14290In this war he must not only conquer armies, he must win over public opinion; and how could he gain it so well as in the guise of a popular liberator?
14290Is it credible that the Guards, less than 4,000 strong, should have spread their attacks over a quarter of a mile of front?
14290Is not Blücher resting on the banks of the Aisne?
14290It is difficult to reconcile all this with the attack in hollow squares; but probably the squares( or oblongs?)
14290May not the words"domiciled"and"employed"have aroused Lowe''s suspicions of Balcombe and O''Meara?
14290On the whole, was there ever an odder company of shipmates since the days of Noah?
14290Or if he had gone to the United States, who would have competed with him for the Presidency?
14290Or was it a passing flash of that religious sentiment which he professed in his declining years?
14290Or were they imposed in order to insult the great man?
14290Or, if he must have Norway, would not Denmark give her assent if she received Swedish Pomerania and Lübeck?
14290Poor Gourgaud,_ qu''allais- tu faire dans cette galère_?
14290The Emperor came up to me as I stood in the circle, and in a low voice said:''Have you written to your Court?
14290The allies can not long act together on lines so extended, and can I not reasonably hope sooner or later to catch them in some false move?
14290The world had rejected his gospel of force; but would it not thrill responsive to the gospel of pity now to be enlisted in his behalf?
14290Then he burst out:"Could I have expected that from Dupont, a man whom I loved, and was rearing up to become a Marshal?
14290To what are we to attribute this change of front?
14290Touching the Minister on the shoulder, he said quietly:"Well, now, do you know what will happen?
14290Was Napoleon puzzled because the corps was heading south- east instead of east?]
14290Was it a spinney, or a body of troops?
14290Was it not time that this should end?
14290Was not the column the usual method of attack?
14290Was there really any need for these"nation- degrading"rules, as O''Meara called them?
14290Were they suited to this child of the Mediterranean?
14290What is the upshot of it all?
14290What mean these_ Miserere_ and these prayers of forty hours?
14290What might not those 20,000 men, detained in La Vendée, have effected on the crest of Waterloo?
14290What right had Prussia thus to carry into effect a treaty which she had not ratified?
14290What then was wanting?
14290What was their mandate compared with his?
14290What were those ailments?
14290What would not Napoleon have given to know the actual state of things at the allied headquarters?
14290What, meanwhile, was the position of the allies?
14290What, then, caused the delay in the French attack?
14290Where are your great families?
14290Who should succeed this skilful and methodical officer?
14290Why did not Ney occupy the cross- roads in force on the evening of the 15th?
14290Why had Austria deserted him?
14290Why had not the King dismissed that tool of England?
14290Why had the French ambassador been slighted?
14290Why lose your head thus?
14290Why not have annexed Prussia outright?
14290Why should not history repeat itself?
14290Why should she see her former Belgian provinces handed over to a Protestant Dutch Prince about to be allied with the House of Brunswick by marriage?
14290Why should she subordinate her policy to that of England and to the personal animosities of the Czar?
14290Why should they, or the"electors"of France, cheer?
14290Why speak to me of goodness, abstract justice, and of natural laws?
14290Why then did the Pope set himself above Christ?
14290Why then, we ask, did he accept the command?
14290Why this refinement of cruelty to his former ally?
14290Why was Hardenberg high in favour?
14290Why, then, did he not attack at once?
14290Why, then, had that treaty been so criticised at Berlin?
14290Why, then, was not the attack clinched by infantry?
14290Would he have dared the uttermost at all points at Waterloo?
14290Would he have let slip the chance of keeping the"natural frontiers"of France after Leipzig, and her old boundaries, when brought to bay in Champagne?
14290Would he have spurned the offers of an advantageous peace made to him from Prague in 1813?
14290Would it not therefore be better to await the development of events?
14290Would not Dresden and his communications with France be left open to their blows?
14290Would not the hereditary dominions form a more lasting shelter from the storm?
14290Would these bewildered lads stand before the wave of horsemen already topping the crest?
14290You will not make war on me?"
14290[ 14] What was the attitude of Napoleon towards this league?
14290[ 167] What crime had Portugal committed?
14290[ 361] Who is to be blamed for this disaster?
14290[ 36] Did he fear the peace- loving tendencies of the King, or the treachery of Haugwitz?
14290[ 409] What were Napoleon''s views on these questions?
14290[ 52] Why did Napoleon reject Talleyrand''s plan?
14290[ 532] And if a second Montmirail were snatched from Blücher, would it bring more of glory to Napoleon or of useless bloodshed to France?
14290[ 581] How, then, are we to explain Gourgaud''s conduct at St. Helena and afterwards?
14290[ 85] As a set- off to this surrender of all questions of foreign policy and many internal rights, what did these rulers receive?
14290comment se porte madame?"
14290have you forgotten how to die?
14290no prisoners?"
14290said Napoleon,"after such a butchery, no results?
14290to be treated as a rebel; or( 2) treated as vermin; or( 3) that we would( regretfully) detain him?
14290where do you want me to get them from?
62571''Do you think you could find it?'' 62571 ''What have you got there, sir?''
62571''What, looking for money, my lad,''said he,''eh?'' 62571 ''Why do n''t they come on like men,''they cried,''whilst we''ve strength left in us to fight them?''
62571A distressing circumstance connected with this( shall I confess it?) 62571 Apparently not noticing what I said, he continued his lamentations, and,''Vil you no stop, sare, I say?''
62571Did you ever see a man so wounded recover?
62571Do you think I am dying?
62571What pen can describe the scene? 62571 ''And why particularly Driver Crammond?'' 62571 ''But what creature turned you out? 62571 ''But where are you going?'' 62571 ''But you will perhaps have the goodness to tell me where you are going yourself?'' 62571 ''Captain Mercer, are you loaded?'' 62571 ''D-- you for a fool,''he said;''what sort of a shot do you call that? 62571 ''Have you no orders?'' 62571 ''What can it mean?'' 62571 ''What is the matter with you, dear?'' 62571 ''Who do you belong to?'' 62571 ''Who turned you out?'' 62571 At length Captain Leech observed her, and called out to the company--''Does any man here know what has happened to Cochan?
62571But was it really a French battery which was wrecking Mercer''s guns?
62571Did He Deserve it?
62571Do you think you are fighting here with your fists that you are running into the teeth of the French?''
62571Do you think you can retire quick enough afterwards?''
62571I smiled at his energy, and, pointing to the remains of my poor troop, quietly asked,''How, sir?''
62571I told him that they were nearly so, and added,''I suppose they wo n''t be wanted, at all events, before to- morrow?''
62571If French, how came he here to die alone so far in the rear of our lines?
62571Is it necessary to define my sensations?
62571Is it possible that I am not understood at once?
62571Is there nothing in this to excite emotion?
62571It may be asked what impulse sent a youth of this type-- under- sized, lean, frugal, canny-- to a soldier''s life?
62571It struck me that I knew his face, and, turning back, I stopped him, asking if he was not Robert Liston, formerly a corporal in the 95th Rifles?
62571Meeting one next morning, a very little fellow, I asked what had happened to them yesterday?
62571Men began to look into each other''s faces, and ask the question,''Are we ever to be halted again?''
62571Musther Hills,''I heard him say,''where the d-- l is this you''re taking us to?''
62571Or, in the mad inevitable distraction of a great battle were the Allied gunners destroying each other?
62571Query-- Who, and what was he firing at?
62571Signed,''& c.,& c."Where is Strytem?
62571The Duke turned roughly upon him,"What the devil do you want, sir?"
62571The usual salutation on meeting an acquaintance of another regiment after an action was to ask who had been hit?
62571The wretches had probably already done mischief elsewhere-- who knows?"
62571Vere is de Dook von Vellington?
62571What could I do?
62571What does each separate human atom feel, when caught in that whirling tornado of passion and of peril?
62571What is all this noise?
62571What was this to a parcel of men who had scarcely eaten a morsel for three days?
62571and for what this sudden move?
62571are we off, sir?''
62571but on this occasion it was,''Who''s alive?''
62571do you remember what happened to me at Salamanca?''
62571he said, as he grasped hold of me,''who the---- do you think is to stay hum- bugging all day for such a fellow as you?''"
62571mine Gott!--mine Gott; vil you no stop, sare?--vil you no stop?
62571no shoes, Harris, I see, eh?''
62571thought I, where are my ammunition waggons?
62571vat for is dis?
62571vat is it you doos, sare?
62571vere is de Dook von Vellington?
62571what would such as you have done in the Pyrenees?''

28573''_ Qui Dæmone pejus_''--who is there worse than the devil? 28573 A buck at four o''clock?
28573Affronted? 28573 And if we were to remain more than half an hour?"
28573And is not courage your father, and an excellent aim your mother, and is not death to the boar in our barrels?
28573And what of them?
28573And your feverish pulse, sir, your wrinkled liver, and your digestion, which scarcely ever allows you to close your eyes?
28573But these terrible quadrupeds; what if they should come and devour me when you are gone?
28573Citizen? 28573 Do you hear him?"
28573Does it? 28573 Does it?"
28573Fear? 28573 Have I any hare of yours?"
28573Hear him?
28573I thought you were heart of oak, young Sir; are you only a man of straw?
28573Is he really dead?
28573Is it the duty of a father, of a son, of a soldier, of a baker?
28573It is an infernal plot, I say; think you that I came into this wretched country of forests to kill donkeys?
28573It is, then, something dreadful?
28573Me? 28573 Once, twice-- will you give me my hare?"
28573Said I not so? 28573 See clearly, do you?
28573Serpolet,said I to the_ piqueur_,"have you seen the animal?"
28573That gentleman?
28573Their duty in what?
28573Then we shall find only woodcocks in the place we are going to?
28573What do you mean by saying he has a right to her, when I tell you the hare belongs to me?
28573What does that mean?
28573What is he like?
28573What of them? 28573 What shall we do?"
28573What, is the house then really in danger?
28573Where are you going to take me?
28573Who is that gentleman, sir?
28573Why do you lag so far behind?
28573Why not scribble all this?
28573Why so?
28573Why, what''s the matter?
28573Would you prefer confronting a wild boar?
28573You persist, then, in saying that I am not even to take my head cook with me?
28573You? 28573 A little further on is another cross, at the entrance of a deep, dark gorge: What does that cross mean? 28573 A wolf or a wild boar? 28573 And are not these simple- minded men much in the right? 28573 And he was not frightened?
28573And if there should come by chance a wolf to the_ Mare_ when I shall be all alone, what must I do?"
28573And so this fine gentleman, with his yellow spectacles and bald head, is not going to tell us anything about crops, vineyards, planting, or sowing?"
28573And the good_ curés_?
28573And the most clever men- cooks, the happiest receipts, and latest culinary inventions-- for whom are they?
28573But I once said to him,"My good Navarre, in the name of heaven tell me, from what Japanese manuscript did you fish out that odious hat?
28573But then, how shall I carry them off?
28573But what are these splendid wonders of the town to them?
28573By the spectacles of my grandmother, what will become of me?
28573Cette tisane!--A moi?
28573Could any one forget him?
28573Did I say it had never been shaved?
28573Do you mean to say that I''m afraid of a bull?"
28573Do you observe, I said, that little white house, half- hidden yonder in the poplars-- there, on the banks of the Cure?
28573Do you see that tomb-- that large gray stone?"
28573Do you think you can take good aim, and pull the trigger?"
28573Do you, or do you not feel able to take part in the approaching drama?"
28573Echo answers,"Who knows?"
28573England, they say, is more opulent and better cultivated; be it so,--she is richer, she manufactures more; but is she happier?
28573Furious at this behaviour, I bowed and said to him,"So, you are the owner of this precious cur?"
28573Have they not a melodious choir of birds to arouse them each morning from their slumbers?
28573Have they not also the shade and silence of the forest, the eternal freshness of the fountains?
28573Have you not the sense to distinguish a joke from an insult?
28573Hear you not the distant crash in the bushes?"
28573How are you to tell that?"
28573How do you feel?
28573How, I beseech you, is the following_ monologue_ to stand comparison with the fierce excitement of such anticipations?
28573I know; but which way are we to get out of this infernal place?"
28573Is it a mountain, a church, a river, a star, a flower, a bird?
28573Le Morvan, where is it?
28573Le Morvan, who knows anything about Le Morvan?
28573Let us have a narrative of your exploits?"
28573Mr. Three per Cent.,"said one,"this is what you call sporting, is it-- killing starved woodcocks?
28573Mulier rixosa: fug...""But what does it mean?"
28573No nonsense-- no useless fears?
28573Pray what do you mean by that?"
28573Quick!--where shall I place myself?
28573Reader, will you wonder?--here is the inscription:"Qui Dæmone pejus?
28573Say, reader, is not this hill a charming pit- stall, and much preferable to the narrow crimson section of the bench at the Opera?
28573Stoop down-- look closer; do you mean to tell me that the shepherds''dogs have made these prints of cloven feet in the mud?"
28573The question is, who sends the fly?
28573Their savage cries were renewed; they became more and more impatient and exasperated,--how was it possible to resist a piece of young horseflesh?
28573This wretched pig was never happy: how could he be so?
28573To see them at one_ coup d''oeil_, in all the splendour of their extent, one ought to call for the veteran, Mr. Green, and, safely(?)
28573What ails you?"
28573What am I to do without carriages, without opera nightingales, and, above all things, without a head cook?"
28573What became of them?
28573What could he have to do in the wilds of Le Morvan?
28573What do I say?
28573What shall I shoot?--what shall I not shoot?
28573What was Cannes twenty years since?
28573What was I to do?
28573What was to be done under these circumstances?
28573What was to be done?
28573What, not the fox, with his splendid bushy tail?
28573When shall I see thee again?
28573Where, then, is Le Morvan?
28573Where?
28573Which direction therefore was he to take?
28573Who says that I have?
28573Who would have doubted it?
28573Who, I ask you, is to understand such telegraphs as these?
28573Why what do you take me for, good reader?--what can I possibly want with that?--I, who am about to knock over two roebucks and three wolves?
28573Why, do n''t you see he is?
28573Will he be a large one?
28573Will it be a she- wolf, or a roebuck?
28573Would you kill a man for a hare?
28573_ Chi lo sa?_ He who doth not let a sparrow fall to the ground without He willeth it.
28573am I?
28573am I?
28573an orator: and pray what sort of a bird is that?
28573and by what mysterious chronometer does it regulate with such exactness its movements?
28573and she stamped her tiny foot;"will you go on?
28573are you afraid?
28573are you in such a funk as all that?
28573but whose fault is it, sir; why did you not bring your eye- glass?"
28573can not gold purchase health, most sapient doctors?"
28573cried Adolphe,"which is the place of honour?"
28573cried the banker, all amazed;"and for what, in the name of goodness?"
28573do you think no more about it?"
28573do you wish to give me up to the beasts?"
28573have they not as scenes, the woods, the bubbling waters, verdant valleys, real sunrises and sunsets?
28573he said, as he set me again on my legs, and pushed me from him,"Do you then already love to shed blood?
28573how does it know the sportsman?
28573is it this kind of game we are to watch for?"
28573nor are you about to reply,"Angelic being, moss- rose of my soul, let me press your sweet lips?"
28573supposing I am; what is the wonder?
28573this pale and slender young man, with such delicate hands and rose- coloured nails, fought face to face with this terrible beast?
28573to which point of the compass was he to turn the vessel''s prow?
28573what did it signify to him what was done, or what happened behind those hills?
28573what is Le Morvan?
28573what is he going to chirrup about?"
28573what the deuce is the matter with you?
28573when, when shall I see you all again-- like the bird of passage, which, when the winter is over, returns to his sunny home?
28573where can I go?
28573who ever mentioned it in England, who knew its beauties?
28573yes,--but my Spanish fives and Mexican bonds?"
28573you acknowledge your fault, do you?"
28573your dog, you bearded fool-- your cur of a dog?
8546''And did you drink the coffee?''
8546''And is all the country about here Republican?''
8546''And what are its principles?''
8546''And what is the secret?''
8546''Are there boars?''
8546''Are there wolves?''
8546''But what is the meaning of this great liking for leeches?''
8546''Do you know one another''s family names?''
8546''Do you make cheese?''
8546''Do you make the_ liqueur?_''''Oh no.''
8546''Do you sell milk, then?''
8546''For sale?''
8546''Have some more?''
8546''How often do you administer to yourselves the discipline?''
8546''Marie,''said I to an old farm woman who was hobbling about with a rheumatic leg,''what is the matter?''
8546''Men looking for work?''
8546''What is it?''
8546''Where is it?''
8546''Why are they tolling the bell?''
8546''You are afraid of us, madame?''
8546''You see that_ type?_''said the young man who was driving, and who balanced himself on the edge of a board.
8546''You would n''t think a man''s body could make that?
8546And shall I fly?
8546And the dust of the humble monk and serving brother, where is that?
8546And then what does it yield?
8546And where are you going?''
8546Are we to see here the Eternal Father, or Christ sitting in final judgment?
8546But how did we set off?
8546But is the end so near?
8546But then the question arose, Why was he there?
8546Come, dally not; be gone''?
8546Could there be a church at Fronsac that was not used for praying?
8546Had there been an epidemic, and were the old women, whose heads were bent towards their knees while they clutched their distaffs, the few survivors?
8546He will say,''_ Nest- ce pas, monsieur_?''
8546How did we get over the_ barrages_?
8546How many centuries ago did Christian piety raise this rough image of its hope upon the moors amidst the purple heather and the yellow broom?
8546How many houses and pigsties at Villandraut have been built with materials taken from the castle?
8546I can imagine somebody saying:''Why look at what goes on in the kitchen?''
8546Said the miller:''You see that hole?''
8546Scattered do I say?
8546She reflected a few minutes, then, looking at me over her knitting- needles, she said:''Are you a tiler or a plasterer?''
8546She sang:''Connais- tu le pays òu fleurit l''oranger?''
8546Some Englishman was connected with the history of the building; but was it really a chapel?
8546Some tourists, attracted by the caverns in the valley of the Vézère, had possibly wandered as far as Limeuil; but where were the inhabitants now?
8546The thought expressed in the eyes of the cobbler as he looked up was,''Are you a thunderbolt, or Robert the Devil?''
8546Then one catches sight of this line by the sagacious Horace:''Quid aeternis minorem consiliis animum fatigas?''
8546They knew that we must have come a long, long way; but, how did we do it?
8546This was the kind of conversation that passed between us:''Are there many monks here?''
8546Was not the country strewn with the ruins of the fortresses they had built?
8546What is it in the gloom and horror of nature that so draws us and yet warns us to flee?
8546What is the use, I thought, of being an African if one can not keep dry in a temperature of 95 ° Fahrenheit?
8546What is there better in life than hours such as those?
8546What matters it whether they are bleached by the sun or blackened by the clay?
8546Where was I?
8546Who are they who carry flowers to the graves of their grandfathers?
8546Who were we in this strange- looking boat that went so fast, and whence had we come?
8546Who, passing by here without foreknowledge, would suppose that on this bit of desert the great struggle between Rome and Gaul was brought to a close?
8546Why should he have cultivated what would have been of little or no use to him?
8546and am I your son?
8376What can I then do for you?
8376After this commencing stroke, what English general will ever think of conquering America?
8376But I need not fear this-- need I, my dearest love?
8376But do you, at least, pity me?
8376But what shall I say to you, my love?
8376But, on the other side, why were the English permitted to land so tranquilly?
8376Do n''t your excellency think that I could recruit a little in General Greene''s division now that he is quarter- master- general?
8376Do you comprehend all that I endure?
8376Do you think that Anastasia will recollect me?
8376Embrace, most tenderly, my Henriette: may I add, embrace our children?
8376Have I two children?
8376Have you left the family, my dear sir?
8376How have you borne my second departure?
8376I have left no space for Henriette; may I say for my children?
8376I saw in the paper that the King of Spain was dead: has God, then, punished him for having conferred the title of grandee upon M. de Montbarrey?
8376I should like very much to know whether those dogs that neither walk nor bark contributed to the success of the expedition?
8376Is it not strange that General Wayne''s detachment can not be heard of?
8376Is it not true that you will always love me?
8376May I flatter myself that I still possess your good opinion?
8376May I, sir, speak to you with frankness?
8376Might not the crowd of Frenchmen dispersed at present on that coast be employed with advantage in the cause?
8376Must I join to this affliction the grief of hearing that you do not pardon me?
8376O, American freedom, what shall become of you if you are in such hands?
8376O, when shall I be with you, my love; when shall I embrace you a hundred times?
8376Present my compliments to your friends and to mine; may I not say_ our_ friends?
8376Suppose something of the kind was stated to me, am I to alter any thing in what you said to me on the subject?
8376Suppose they were to come out in force and at a distance from us, would not this be an opportunity to execute your grand plan?
8376Supposing he is to go there, would your Excellency think of selecting some riflemen for the grand army?
8376What do you think can be produced by the half condemnation of a general officer?
8376What expressions can my tenderness find sufficiently strong for our dear Anastasia?
8376What man do not join the pure ambition of glory with this other ambitious of advancement, rank, and fortune?
8376What may they announce to me?
8376What shall France answer?
8376When shall I again see you?
8376When shall I find myself again within her arms?
8376Why in the south were so many false movements and so much hesitation displayed?
8376Why was I so obstinately bent on coming hither?
8376Why was the moment allowed to pass when their army was divided by the river Elk?
8376Will you permit me, sir, to present my respects to the Countess de Maurepas and Madame de Flamarens?
8376Will you, too, always love me, my dearest life?
8376Would it be possible, my dear general, in case a part of the British troops go to New York, I may be allowed to join the combined armies?
8376Would it not be agreeable to you also?
8376Would not Gouvion be a proper ambassador?
8376You ask me at what period I first experienced my ardent love of liberty and glory?
8376have I another infant to share my tender affection with my dearest Henriette?
8376have you loved me less?
8376have you pardoned me?
8376what may I hope?
22345Do these men think,said he,"that I throw away my money?
22345Salviti, where are you taking me?
22345Sir, do you come from France?
22345What are you going to do at Milan?
22345What do you do there?
22345What is there, then, changed in the future state of Europe, and in the hope of repose promised it? 22345 What will become of the patriots before my arrival at Paris?"
22345Yet what has Napoleon done? 22345 You are a noble young fellow,"said he,"you have truly the soul of a Frenchman; but are you not carried away by your imagination?"
22345--"And Môlé?"
22345--"And public opinion, how is that?"
22345--"And so they still love me?"
22345--"And the theatre?"
22345--"Are you not afraid of Bourmont''s bestirring himself, and embarrassing you?"
22345--"Are you sure of them?"
22345--"But if I were to disembark in France, is there not reason to fear that the patriots may be massacred by the emigrants and the chouans?"
22345--"But what would you do were you to expel the Bourbons: would you re- establish the republic?"
22345--"But why exclude them, Sire?
22345--"But, Sire...."--"Don''t you trouble your head about it... what is the strength of the army?"
22345--"Crazy or not, I will venture; but can I really embark no where but at Leghorn or Genoa?"
22345--"Do you bring us any news from France?"
22345--"Do you think then, that they amuse themselves at the post- office by opening and reading all the letters of business which pass through?
22345--"Does the Emperor know you?"
22345--"Has he sent a letter for me by you?"
22345--"Have we any persons hereabout, who were nearly attached to me?"
22345--"How are your troops disposed?"
22345--"I do n''t doubt it: but, come, what is your opinion of affairs?"
22345--"I think so too: and the marshals?"
22345--"If he asks me whether this opinion is only yours, or whether Messrs.******* all share in it, what shall I answer?"
22345--"Is he one of us?"
22345--"Is his coin handsome?"
22345--"Is it possible?"
22345--"Is the national guard of Paris well disposed?"
22345--"Is your passport all right?"
22345--"It appears, also, that their subjects are discontented: is it not so?"
22345--"It is to Essonne, I presume, your Majesty orders me to repair?"
22345--"Sire, where shall I land?"
22345--"That is just like the Emperor; he thinks every thing is possible: where does he suppose that I can procure it?
22345--"Then why do n''t you try to push on as far as Rome?
22345--"What did he mean by that?"
22345--"What do they say about our misfortunes?"
22345--"What do they say of all this at Paris?"
22345--"What do you want here?"
22345--"What do you want here?"
22345--"What generals are with you?"
22345--"What have you done with it?
22345--"What is Ney doing?
22345--"What is Talma doing?"
22345--"What need is there of any justification to me?"
22345--"Why are they not come hither?"
22345--"Why so?"
22345--"Yes, Sire; but how am I to send the names of the colonels and the generals in command?"
22345--"Your Majesty has then determined to send me back to France?"
22345--Napoleon( appearing agitated and impatient),"Then X*** advises me to return?"
22345--Napoleon( out of temper),"Why did not X*** give you that information?"
22345--Napoleon( with energy),"Yes, all men in whose veins any national blood is flowing must be its enemies; but how will all this end?
22345--Napoleon( with tenderness),"You really think so?"
22345--Napoleon, sharply;"So much the worse, so much the worse: but how, has not X. sent me any letters?"
22345--Napoleon, with greater warmth and confidence,"_ Eh bien!_ how are they all treated in France by the Bourbons?"
22345A man, that Napoleon had reason to dread, was Moreau: was his life attempted?
22345Abandoned, betrayed, and denied, by men whom he has heaped with rewards and honours, will the Emperor really believe that I am really attached to him?
22345After a few moments of silence, he said,"Do my generals go to court?
22345And the king, what sort of a countenance has he?"
22345And wherefore?
22345Are men responsible for the caprice of fate?
22345Are the infernal machine and its terrible ravages forgotten?
22345Besides, what right had she to have her son made a duke of St. Leu, and a peer of the Bourbons?
22345But do I say his genius?
22345But how do all those old_ thicksculls_ spend their money?
22345But how do you think foreigners will like my return: there is the great question?"
22345But pray did he tell you that he had been at Elba?"
22345But what will be the conduct of the national guards?
22345But whilst the storm was gathering in France, how was Napoleon employed?
22345But why wo n''t you take the passport which I offer you?"
22345But, supposing it to be just with regard to some, is it as easy, as is commonly thought, to overcome the will of a sovereign?
22345By what right would foreigners rob you of your independence, the first right, and the first good, of all nations?
22345Did I not''decorate''you on the field of battle?"
22345Do you know the names of the officers who command the maritime districts, and the eighth division?"
22345Do you not know, you will say to them, that your Emperor is here?
22345Do you take me rightly?
22345Do you think it is true that they are on ill terms with each other?"
22345Do you think it would be well, if I were to return?"
22345Do you think they will fight for them?"
22345Had not Napoleon allowed the Cortes of Spain to elect their monarch of their own uncontrolled authority?
22345Has Ney any command?"
22345Has he seen my son?"
22345Has not the king pretended, that he has not ceased to reign over France these five- and- twenty years?
22345Has the Emperor allowed you to remain with us?"
22345Have you been at court?"
22345He had his moments of impatience and warmth; and what honest citizen has not?
22345His conscience was satisfied, how could he be unhappy?
22345I began my detail, but he exclaimed, without allowing me to finish,"that''s enough; why did you not begin by telling me all that?
22345I want a French passport: can you, or can you not get me one?"
22345I wanted to reconcile Europe to us, and to close the revolution.... What do my soldiers say about me?"
22345If at that instant any body had cried out to me,"Rascal, what are you about?"
22345If he was to put any questions to you on that head, how would you answer him?
22345Is it not to fortune, rather than to M. Z***, that we must impute the disastrous end of this revolution, begun under such happy auspices?
22345Is it thought that there will be a new revolution?"
22345Is it true, that so much was made of Alexander at Paris?"
22345M.*** will give you a letter for him: do you understand me?"
22345Must it be said?
22345On what terms is he with the king?"
22345Shall we suffer them to inherit the fruits of our glorious toils?
22345Sometimes he said,"That''s a good article; whose is it?"
22345That Napoleon aspired to the throne?
22345The Emperor, turning towards me, added:"How is it, that the absurd fable of this man has not been contradicted?"
22345The concern will turn out well... do you understand me?"
22345The government had one sole and last hope remaining: it was, dare I say it?
22345They knew not whither they were going, but Napoleon was present, and with him could they doubt of victory?
22345Think you that handful of Frenchmen, now so arrogant, can support their sight?
22345To- day the English corvette[35] is here, and those people are suspicious of every thing: is it publicly known who you are?"
22345Was it maintained that Napoleon had reigned despotically?
22345Was she much regretted?"
22345Was the emperor taxed with boundless ambition?
22345Was there a public mourning for her?"
22345Were apprehensions entertained of the disclosures he might make?...
22345What are Augereau and Marmont about?"
22345What could he disclose to the French people?
22345What do you wait for?
22345What does Hortense do?"
22345What has been done at the Tuileries?"
22345What have they done with my pictures?"
22345What heart could steel itself against the sorrows of that august and aged man, against the sound of his mournful voice?
22345What indeed could he do with the old puppets that are about him?
22345What is it supposed, that the foreigners will think of my return?"
22345What is the name of an emperor?
22345What must we conclude from this coldness on the one hand, and this enthusiasm on the other?
22345What voice is raised, to demand those succours, which, according to the declaration, are to be granted only when claimed?
22345When he had finished, the Emperor said to him:"You were much astonished, then, at hearing of our having landed?"
22345Where is Maret?
22345Who besides have been the victims of his pretended ferocity?
22345Who is able to be so?
22345Who shall pretend to be our master?
22345Why does not the Emperor keep himself quiet?
22345Why, too, did she go and demand the title of duchess?"
22345Will it be said, that Pichegru was strangled by his orders?
22345Will the death of Georges, and his obscure accomplices, be considered as a judicial murder?
22345Will this opinion be well founded?
22345Will you leave to others the honour of joining him before you?
22345ah, where is the sovereign, that can esteem them?
22345am I dead?"
22345are you crazy?"
22345do you suppose that fellows of the police know every thing, and can foresee every thing?
22345said he to me,"does that little Germain fancy it necessary to shun me?
22345said he to them,"do you not know me?
22345that the garrisons of Grenoble and Lyons have marched to join him with the charge step?
22345the honour of marching at the head of his advanced guard?
22345to seize upon our honours, and our property, and calumniate our fame?
22345where is Caulincourt?
22345where is Fouché?"
22345where is Lavalette?
41220''The King?'' 41220 Ancestors?"
41220Are you aware of the magnitude of the undertaking?
41220At what hour did he leave you?
41220But,said Napoleon,"what have you done to deserve it?"
41220Do you not see,answered Ducos,"that the general presides?"
41220Do you see those bullets?
41220For how could I expect to be betrayed,he said,"by a man whom I had loaded with kindness from the time he was fifteen years of age?
41220Has he any military skill?
41220Have you bread for my troops?
41220If I do not leave you at Parisanswered Napoleon,"on whom can I depend?"
41220Indeed, and why so early?
41220Is Dego retaken?
41220What has he ever done to render himself conspicuous?
41220What injury,said he,"have I done to you?"
41220What is his name?
41220What will become of me,he said,"if the English, who are cruising hereabouts, should learn that I have landed in Corsica?
41220What would you do if you could act as you pleased?
41220Where shall I be able to live with my family?
41220Who are you?
41220Who is that?
41220Why not fire then?
41220Why should I not?
41220You, Sire,"And would you fire on me?
41220You, Sire,"Who made you captain?
41220Your name?
41220''You do n''t know what the King is doing then?''
41220And Napoleon II., was he no longer thought of?"
41220And where are the enemy?
41220And which of you could charge himself with a like burden?
41220Are we no longer the same men?
41220At about 5 o''clock Napoleon asked Marshal Soult,"Shall we beat them?"
41220At the first summons Murat came up at a gallop:"Well,"said Napoleon,"are you going to let those fellows eat us up?"
41220But wherefore shed so much blood?
41220Displeased at this mark of separation from the rest Napoleon said hastily:"How is this?
41220Do you beard the French general in the very centre of his army?
41220Do you imagine you can make men fight by reasoning?
41220Do you know what is more difficult to bear than reverses of fortune?
41220Does he expect me to make them?
41220Does that satisfy you?"
41220Fouché read the letter aloud, and then exclaimed,"Is he laughing at us?
41220Have we not killed men enough, and inflicted sufficient sufferings on the human race?
41220He called an aid- de- camp and asked in a business- like manner:''Are the red- hot shot ready?''
41220If he falls, shall we fall with him?"
41220If it be thus with me, what must it be with others?
41220In the course of the conversation, Captain Maitland, according to his own statement, threw out the suggestion,"Why not seek an asylum in England?"
41220Is my tenure of sovereignty so frail that a single person can place it in jeopardy?
41220It is against me that our enemies are more embittered than against France, but on that ground alone am I to be suffered to dismember the State?
41220It was about this time that a lady asked Napoleon:"How could you fire thus mercilessly upon your countrymen?"
41220Leaping from his carriage as the words reached his ears, the Emperor exclaimed,"What means this?
41220Napoleon led the Cardinal to the window, opened it, and pointing upwards, said,"Do you see yonder star?"
41220Napoleon replied,"Come Metternich, tell me honestly how much the English have given you to take their part against me?"
41220Ney entered first:"Well, have you succeeded?
41220On receiving the news he exclaimed, with deep feeling, and in the presence of his generals:"Does my power then, hang on so slender a thread?
41220She asks,''Why is Toulon not yet taken?
41220Some one struck with his appearance asked the general_ who that little bit of an officer was, and where he picked him up_?
41220The Emperor, during the course of their conversation, is said to have asked"What is your price?
41220The question put to them, as framed by Cambacérès and Le Brun, was:"Napoleon Bonaparte-- Shall he be Consul for life?"
41220Those around remonstrated with him for continually exposing his person, to which he replied:"What can I do?
41220To all suggestions referring to his providing for his future wants he replied,"What matters it?
41220To what purpose?
41220What have you done with the one hundred thousand of French citizens, my companions in glory, all of whom I knew?
41220What is to become of us?
41220What, my Guard checked by the Spaniards,--by armed peasants?"
41220When Caulaincourt advised him to seek safety from the Allies in flight to the United States, he replied;"What have I to fear?
41220Where Marmont?
41220Where Mortier?"
41220Where are my wife and boy?
41220Who could have thought the prediction would so soon have been fulfilled?"
41220Who dares pretend to be master over us?
41220Why did they not let me die?
41220Why here with your cavalry, Belliard?
41220Why is the English fleet not yet destroyed?''
41220Will Illyria satisfy you?
41220Will they ever know all that I suffered during the night that preceded my final decision?
41220[ Illustration: From an old Drawing, artist unknown BONAPARTE AT THE SIEGE OF ACRE]"Difficult, granted; but is it possible for an army to pass?"
41220are you no longer the brave warriors of Lodi?
41220cried the Emperor, with considerable irritation,"where does he suppose I can get them?
41220cried the dying man,"ca n''t_ you_ save me?"
41220exclaimed he,"I ask but six hours more,--wilt thou refuse them?"
41220exclaimed the visitor,"not yet in bed?"
41220replied Napoleon,"it is impossible, is it?
41220said he, loud enough to be heard by those near him;"how could he suffer this rabble to enter?
41220the commander cried,"do you not know the order?
41220with such a prospect before you, can you fail in courage and perseverance?"
8819Are you a Belge?

2553And Alençon, Dunois, La Hire, where were they and all the knights?
2553And Jeanne herself, the one strange figure that nobody understood; was she a witch?
2553And if her own party did not stir on her behalf, why should he?
2553Are you afraid?
2553As for the appeal of Jeanne, what was the letter of that mad creature to a prince and statesman?
2553Asked, if St. Margaret did not speak English, answered:"How could she speak English when she was not on the English side?"
2553Asked, if he had hair, she answered,"Why should it have been cut?"
2553Asked, if he was naked, she answered,"Do you think God has nothing to clothe him with?"
2553Asked, if her voices forbade her to speak the truth, she said:"Do you expect me to tell you things that concern the King of France?
2553Asked, if she had said to St. Catherine and St. Margaret,"Will God leave the good people of Compiègne to die so cruelly?"
2553Asked, if the angel had not failed her; answered,"How could he have failed me, when he comforts me every day?"
2553Asked, in what place this mandrake was, and what she had heard of it?
2553Asked, to whom she promised?
2553Asked, what was that danger?
2553Asked, why she did not enter the city as she had the command of God to do so, she replied:"Who told you that I was commanded to enter?"
2553At least it would appear that Charles thought so: for how should this peasant maid know the secret fear that had gnawed at his heart?
2553At the end of so long and bitter a struggle she had thrown down her arms-- but for what?
2553Could any one stand and answer like that hour after hour and day by day, inspired only by the devil?
2553Could it indeed be saints and angels who ordained a step which was outside of all the habits and first duties of nature?
2553Could no one go on?
2553Could she still trust them?
2553Did she kneel and thank them?
2553Did the Inquisitor break down here?
2553Did the Maid mean that her work was over, and her divine mission fulfilled?
2553Did this in Cæsar seem ambitious?
2553Did you observe how she hesitated on this?
2553Go to Rheims to be crowned?
2553God''s promises are great, but where is the fulfilment?
2553Had he any right to that sustaining confidence which would have borne up his heart in the midst of every discouragement?
2553Had it failed?
2553Had she proclaimed a promise from St. Catherine, of victory?
2553Had she refused, might it not have been alleged against her that after all her impatience it was she who was the cause of delay?
2553Had the Maid become a great and honoured lady should not we all have said as Satan says in the Book of Job: Did Jeanne serve God for nought?
2553Had they but persevered, as she had said, a few hours longer before Paris, who could tell that the same result might not have been obtained?
2553He asked her, a question equally unnecessary,"do you believe in God?"
2553He had been long a prisoner in England, and had lately been ransomed for a great sum of money;"Was not that a sufficient sacrifice?"
2553He was a prisoner of war: what was it the Maid''s duty to do?
2553How could they keep still outside, Dunois, Alençon, La Hire, the mighty men of valour, while they knew that she was being racked and tortured within?
2553How should there have been in that partisan province, more English than French?
2553If she had broken out into open rebellion who would have followed her?
2553In those long hours, amid the noise of the guards within and the garrison around, how she must have thought, over and over again, where were they?
2553Is it here truly that I must die?"
2553It had no doubt been hard for her to leave her father''s house; but after that disruption what did anything matter?
2553It was all ready; and where then was the great victory, the deliverance in which she had believed?
2553Jeanne had relapsed; the sinner escaped had been re- caught; and what was now to be done?
2553Jeanne, will you not save yourself?"
2553Monseigneur might well be on his mettle; that very pity, was it not stealing into the souls of his private committee deputed for so different a use?
2553No one but Jeanne knew at what cost she had kept her perfect purity; was it good for nothing but to be burned, that young body not nineteen years old?
2553One man most reasonably asked why she should be put to torture when they had ample material for judgment without it?
2553Or in the other case did her inspiration fail her, or were the intrigues of Charles and his Court sufficient to balk the designs of Heaven?
2553Robert then asked her who was this Lord?
2553She called specially-- was it with still a return towards the hoped for miracle?
2553She cried, weeping and helpless, terrified to the bottom of her soul-- What was she that she should do this?
2553She was then asked how they were dressed?
2553She was then asked what she had done with her mandragora( mandrake)?
2553She was then asked whether, when first she saw her King, he asked her whether it was by revelation that she had assumed the dress of a man?
2553She was then asked, if what she did in respect to the man''s costume was by command of God, why she asked for a woman''s chemise in case of death?
2553Should the army march by, taking no notice of it and so get all the sooner to Rheims?
2553The only question was, Was it Heaven in this instance?
2553The place of sacrifice was ready, everything arranged-- for whom?
2553The saints?
2553Then this brother said to Jeanne:"Do you believe as fully in your voices?"
2553They bade her be strong and of good courage: is not that the all- sustaining, all- delusive message for every martyr?
2553They were now her familiar friends guiding her at every step; and what was the commonplace burly Seigneur, with his roar of laughter, to Jeanne?
2553This is what she said; does that look like a deceiver?
2553This man asked him:"What do you think of her answers?
2553To risk once more a husband so costly was naturally a painful thing to do, and why could not Jeanne be content and stay where she was?
2553To this she answered quietly,"Are there two?"
2553To wait for fifteen days and receive the prize without a blow struck, would not that be best?
2553Was he indeed the heir of France?
2553Was it a direct message from God in answer to his prayer, uttered within his own heart, without words, so that no one could have guessed that secret?
2553Was it not rather the evil one?
2553Was it only a perception, too late, of the danger?
2553Was it possible that she had been deceived and really hoped for mercy?
2553Was it sorcery and witchcraft, or was it the agency of God?
2553Was it the pity of heaven that the archangel reported to the little trembling girl, or only that which woke with the word in her own childish soul?
2553Was it treachery?
2553Was it true that this standard had been carried into the Cathedral at Rheims when those of the other captains were left behind?
2553Was not she herself one of the strongest and purest threads of gold to draw that broken race together and bind it irrevocably, beneficially, into one?
2553Was she a witch, as had been thought?
2553Was she afraid of being wounded; or was she assured that she would not be wounded?
2553Was she an angelic messenger?
2553Was that what the voices had called deliverance?
2553Was there no meaning in them?
2553Was this all that she believed herself to be appointed to do?
2553Was this the keenest irony, or was it the wandering of a weary mind?
2553Were her first triumphs accidents merely, were her"voices"delusions, had she been given up by Heaven, of which she had called herself the servant?
2553Were the men- at- arms perhaps less amenable?
2553Were they mere unaccountable delusions, deceptions of the senses, inspirations perhaps of mere genius-- not from God at all except in a secondary way?
2553Were they whispering to each other that Jeanne had promised them Paris yesterday, and for the first time had not kept her word?
2553What did that mean?
2553What did the voice say?
2553What did they mean?
2553What else could it mean?
2553What he said was spoken with authority and he came in all seriousness, may not we believe in some kindness too?
2553What her visions and her voices were, who can say?
2553What is there indeed the same in the two ages?
2553What more could an archangel, what less could the peasant mother within doors, say?
2553What she had changed her dress again?
2553What was he to do?
2553What will happen?"
2553What would happen?
2553When Alençon asked Jeanne what was to be the issue of the fight, she said calmly,"Have you good spurs?"
2553Where was Dunois?
2553Where was La Hire,(1) a soldier bound by no conventions, a captain whose troop went like the wind where it listed, and whose valour was known?
2553Where was La Hire?
2553Where was she to be taken?
2553Where was young Guy de Laval, so ready to sell his lands that his men might be fit for service?
2553Who can answer so dreadful a suggestion?
2553Who can tell?
2553Who could have kept the girl so cool, so dauntless, so embarrassing in her straight- forwardness and sincerity?
2553Why should she be so determined to resist her only chance of safety?
2553Will she be burned?
2553Without this form the execution was illegal: what did it matter?
2553Would she be burned?
2553Would you have me speak against myself?"
2553You mean we shall turn our backs on our enemies?"
2553could the devils inspire that steadfastness, that constancy and quiet?
2553for her?
2553had all the signs come to nothing, all those divine words and ways, to our minds so much more wonderful than any miracles?
2553or did she expect, as she sometimes said, to_ bouter_ the English out of France altogether?
2553or should they pause first, to try their fortune against those solid walls?
2553or was it mere human incompetence to feel the divine touch?
2553or was it not rather the angels, the saints as she said?
2553or was it possible----?
2553she said;"am I to die here?"
2553was not she indeed the messenger of God?
2553was that the grand victory, the aid of the Lord?
2553what did they mean?
2553when were they coming?
2553would it not be better to say anything, to give up anything rather than be burned at the stake?
13333And what do the other engineers say?
13333But can the Nile spare the water?
13333Has the cow a fine calf?
13333How is it possible,said Montalembert,"that a man can rush so completely from one opinion to another?
13333How is the mare?
13333Que diable veut cette guerre?
13333Recollect,I said,"that if you go on in this way you must be killed before the day is over- and where shall we all be?"''
13333Well,replied the Emperor,"but supposing for the sake of the argument, that it is practicable, what are your intentions?"
13333What are your views,he asked,"as to the Suez Canal?"
13333What have you got,I asked,"from this man?"
13333''"And what did they do to you?"
13333''"Could you not,"they answered,"put it off till April?"
13333''"What more?"
13333''And are the 75,000 who return improved or deteriorated?''
13333''And does he get on?''
13333''And how long,''I asked,''does this simple, pious, retiring character last?''
13333''And how long,''I asked,''will this tyranny last?''
13333''And how many executions?''
13333''And now,''he said,''tell me what you heard in England about our Canal?''
13333''And what effect,''I asked,''has the contemplation of seventy years of revolution produced in him?
13333''And what is the salary?''
13333''And what power,''I said,''will start up in his place?''
13333''And what was the loss,''I asked,''in the late war?''
13333''And what,''I said,''are those agents?''
13333''And will the Pope,''I asked,''remain?''
13333''Are prisoners in England,''asked Beaumont,''allowed to correspond with their friends?''
13333''Are there strikes,''I asked,''among your workmen?''
13333''Are_ you_,''he asked me,''among those who have taken shares in the Russian railways?''
13333''At least,''she said,''you might have expressed more sympathy with the North?''
13333''At the same time,''I said,''has he not forced the Orleans Company and the Lyons Company to buy the Grand Central at much more than its worth?
13333''But was not your intended law of responsibility,''I said,''an attack on your part?''
13333''But,''I said,''if Lamartine had never existed, would not the revolution of 1848 still have occurred?''
13333''But,''I said,''is it not true, first, that the Orleans Company was unwilling to make the purchase?
13333''Can you tell me,''I said,''the real history of the Tripartite Treaty?''
13333''Could I read Chateaubriand?''
13333''Could a man like Lord Althorp,''I asked,''whom it was painful to hear, hold his place as leader of a French Assembly?''
13333''Did not Thiers improvise?''
13333''Do you agree with me,''I asked,''in thinking that Lord Melbourne was best when he improvised?''
13333''Do you agree,''I asked Tocqueville,''with Lafosse, Cousin, and H. as to the effect in Paris of our opposition to the Suez Canal?''
13333''Do you believe,''I asked,''that the mere promise of a Constitution would offend the Legitimists?''
13333''Do you believe,''I said,''that it is possible to obtain through universal suffrage the honest and true opinion of a people?''
13333''Do you suppose that you are more popular with the others?
13333''Facile à vivre?''
13333''Has he been released?''
13333''Has not France, I said,''been also a gainer, by becoming head of the coalition against Russia?''
13333''How did Falloux reply to it?''
13333''How did M. de La Fayette,''[2] I asked Madame de Beaumont,''bear his five years''imprisonment at Olmutz?''
13333''How did Madame de Chateaubriand,''I asked,''take the devotion of her husband to Madame Récamier?''
13333''How does Lamoricière,''I asked,''bear exile and inactivity in Brussels?''
13333''How long,''I asked,''was your last speech?''
13333''How many have you?''
13333''How,''I asked,''has your"Napoleon"succeeded?''
13333''I read none,''he said,''that end ill. Why should one voluntarily subject oneself to painful emotions?
13333''I suppose,''I said to Ampère,''that nothing has ever been better than the_ salon_ of Madame Récamier?''
13333''I suppose,''I said, that they are illegal?''
13333''I thought that his vanity had been_ difficile et exigeante?_''''As a public man,''said Ampère,''yes; and to a certain degree in general society.
13333''If I go to Rome,''I asked,''in the winter, whom shall I find there?''
13333''If Louis Napoleon,''I said,''were to be shot tomorrow, would not the little prince be proclaimed?''
13333''If a Roman,''I asked,''were an avowed infidel, would it take notice of him?''
13333''If we are in Rome next winter,''I asked,''shall we find the French there?''
13333''In time of peace,''I asked,''what proportion of the conscripts return after their six years of service?''
13333''Is he an educated man?''
13333''Is it true,''I asked,''that the civil list is a couple of years''income in debt?''
13333''Is there much infidelity,''I asked,''in Rome?''
13333''Is there,''said Beaumont to Ampère,''still an Inquisition at Rome?''
13333''It seems then,''I said,''that you can feed a man for half a franc a day?''
13333''It will extend still sooner to the navy?
13333''Manned by how many men?''
13333''May I venture,''said Lord Granville to Z.,''to ask whom of your opponents you feared the most?''
13333''May we not owe that merit,''I asked,''to our bad French?
13333''More so,''I said,''than Mazzini?
13333''On what other footing,''I asked,''could we put them?
13333''Then,''I said,''as you take 100,000 conscripts every year even in peace, you lose 25,000 of your best young men every year?''
13333''Was Chateaubriand himself,''I said,''agreeable?''
13333''Was not D.''I asked,''very formidable?''
13333''Was not the 18th fructidor,''I said,''almost a parallel case?
13333''Was not,''I said,''his contrast between the red flag and the tricolor eloquent?''
13333''Was there,''I said,''any personal quarrel between Soult and Thiers?''
13333''Were those the merits,''I asked,''which opened to him the doors of the Academy?''
13333''What are the motives,''I asked,''for the changes as to the conscription, the increase of numbers, and the diminution of the time of service?''
13333''What did you hear,''I said,''about the Congress?''
13333''What do they do?''
13333''What do you hear,''I asked,''of his conduct in the East?''
13333''What do you hear,''I asked,''of the Empress?''
13333''What do you suppose was the effect in France of Louis Napoleon''s triumph in England?
13333''What do_ they_ wish,''I asked,''and what does_ he_ wish?''
13333''What has Ballanche written?''
13333''What influence,''I asked,''have the priests?''
13333''What is the explanation,''he continued,''of Kossuth''s reception in England?
13333''What is the value,''answered Tocqueville,''of a strip of land in the desert where no one can live?
13333''What is the"messe d''une heure?"''
13333''What is the_ nuance_,''I said,''of G----?''
13333''What is there now in France worth living for?
13333''What regulates,''I asked,''the descent of titles?''
13333''What sort of man,''I asked,''shall I find General Randon?''
13333''What was the education,''I asked,''of women under the_ ancien régime_?''
13333''What were you doing at the Château d''Eau?''
13333''What will become of those on the railways if they are suddenly stopped, as yours were in 1846?
13333''What,''I asked,''is the amount of your present fleet of steamers?''
13333''What,''he asked,''are the principal faults which you find in the Constitution?''
13333''Who can say that?''
13333''Who,''I asked Sumner,''are your best speakers in America?''
13333''Whom,''I asked,''did Célimène marry?''
13333''Why,''I asked,''did he refuse the support of M. Molé in 1835?
13333''Will he not rather,''I said,''sink into an exile?''
13333''Will he venture on this?
13333''Would you like to take it?''
13333''You admit,''I said,''that the higher classes side with Piedmont?''
13333''You ask why Tocqueville joined the Gauche whom he despised, against the Droit with whom he sympathised?
13333''You believe,''I said,''that Bernard was her father?''
13333''You do not deny him,''I said,''intelligence?''
13333''You think him, then,''I said,''safe for the rest of his life?''
13333''s history of the Tripartite Treaty?''
13333A war with England can scarcely be short, and yet you think that he plans one?''
13333And if he do venture, will he succeed?
13333And was not that done in order to enable certain_ faiseurs_ to realise their gains?''
13333And what is the consequence?
13333And what may months bring forth in such a country as France?
13333And what say you of our friends the Turks?
13333And why are the shareholders to be French?
13333And will England quietly look on?''
13333Are they to be marched on Switzerland, or on Piedmont, or on Belgium?
13333At length they found that he was there no longer: and how do you suppose that his imprisonment has ended?
13333Besides, what is to be done to amuse these 400,000 bayonets,_ his_ masters as well as ours?
13333But in the midst of these accounts one finds such phrases as these:"What crop do you intend to sow in such a field next year?"
13333But what good could they do?
13333Can not you consider it as read?"
13333Did he make the attempt?
13333Did you receive it?
13333Do you believe in a dissolution?
13333Do you remember how, on the debate of the Roman expedition, he annihilated by one sentence Jules Favre who had ventured to assail him?
13333Does he look back, like Talleyrand, to the_ ancien régime_ as a golden age?''
13333Has not this occurred twice?
13333Has she received my letter addressed to her at Heidelberg?
13333Have no books ever treated of this subject in England?
13333Have they ventured, or will they venture, to hang a single seceder?''
13333How could so clever a man be guilty of such eccentricities?
13333How has your larynx endured this trial?
13333How many thousand volunteers would he have for a"pointe"on London?
13333How, and through what transitions?
13333I asked him if he had read Louis Napoleon''s orders to Canrobert, published in Bazancourt''s book?
13333I can understand enthusiasm for a democrat in America, but what claim had he to the sympathy of aristocratic England?''
13333I do not believe he would sacrifice a friend even to a good story, and where is there another man of whom that can be said?''
13333If so, when?
13333In such a city as Paris?
13333In such times as these?
13333Is Mrs. Grote returned from Germany?
13333Is it true, or have you recovered?
13333Is it true?
13333Is she well?
13333Is the answer given by M. Guizot to a friend of mine who asked a nearly similar question,"Parce qu''il voulait être où je suis,"the true one?''
13333It has certainly been mismanaged, but who has been in fault?
13333More so than Lamartine?''
13333On what other footing does the North put them?
13333Shall I at the same time send back to you the conversation which I have corrected, and in what way?
13333T-----?''
13333That the Republicans love your aristocracy, or the Imperialists your freedom?
13333The Duc d''Angoulême one day said to him,"Vous êtes protestant, général?"
13333Voulez- vous le tenir pour dit, Monsieur, et recevoir de nouveau mes excuses du dérangement que j''ai dû vous causer?
13333Was it worth while to spend so much money and to shed so much blood in order to retain in Europe savages who are ill disguised as civilised men?
13333What are your studies in the Bibliothèque Royale?
13333What chance have the Murats?''
13333What else do these complaints of what is called"the system"mean?
13333What good will his speech do?
13333What have we gained by the additional example of their superiority?
13333What is Baraguay d''Hilliers?''
13333What is the news as to our Canal?
13333What is then to be done with them?
13333What is to be expected from this addition of 100,000?
13333What think you, as a political economist, of this form of outdoor relief?
13333What will be the shock if the Crédit Foncier or the Crédit Mobilier fail, after having borrowed each its milliard?
13333What would England say?''
13333What, will it be when the Government professes to hate them?''
13333When did this revolution take place?
13333Who can say how many similar cases there may be in this wholesale transportation?
13333Whom shall I ask to meet him?''
13333Why did he associate himself with the Gauche whom he despised, and oppose the Droit with whom he sympathised?
13333Why should we wait?"
13333Why would he never take office under Louis Philippe?
13333Will Palmerston let us have it?
13333Will not the other armies demand their share of work and reward?
13333Will that stand any better?
13333You must think me, my dear friend, very tiresome with all these questions and dissertations; but of what else can I speak?
13333and if so, why have you not answered it?
13333and, secondly, that thereupon the Grand Central shares rose much in the market?''
13333he said,"we have given up all our demands; why tease us by trying to prove that we ought not to have made them?"
43283Can not persons feel an interest in their people?
43283Could she not have died without me?
43283Has she no voice?
43283Is it possible,she says,"that you have never seen a great hunt?
43283That is just so,replied Madame,"and what should I do without this house?
43283That was her occupation if she ceased to write, but when any one came in and approached her she would leave everything to ask them,''What news?'' 43283 Then what will you do?"
43283To which of us is the virtue of fortitude most necessary, Beauvais?
43283What do we deserve when we do wrong? 43283 What do you mean,"they asked her,"by an ill- formed, captious mind?"
43283Where is your father?
43283Will you embroider?
43283Will you take a walk, or play at some game?
43283A delicate question presents itself,--more delicate than that of_ lansquenet_: did the Duchesse de Bourgogne have weaknesses of the heart?
43283All my own nearest ones are dead; for whom, therefore, should I give myself cares?
43283Also, would you believe it?
43283Am I not doing a much greater good by this compliance to the mistresses of the different classes?
43283And you, Laudonie, what would you like, when you are no longer here?"
43283Are you not, as it were, making game of me?
43283Are you simple enough to believe that Catholics have none of the true foundations of Christianity?
43283But what good is there in re- making history and in setting up a mere idea of what_ might have been_?
43283But, indeed, my dear father, is it not high time to end our sorrows?
43283Can you know me and yet think that the representation of"Athalie"goes before the regulations established at Saint- Cyr?
43283Did I do wrong to give him good advice and to try, as best I could, to break up his connections?
43283Do they feel distress at the words"breed"or"breeze"or"breviary"?
43283Do you think yourself necessary because you have a fine voice?
43283Does the arrangement of the letters form an immodest word?
43283God, nevertheless, destined me to be there; why, then, has He given me this aversion to it?
43283Have I not good reason to say that we should not let anything be seen even to our friends which they might use in the end against us?
43283Have you not observed that the frankest girls are the soonest confessed?
43283He asked Lord Douglas:"What can I do to win the sympathy of my people?"
43283He had his son brought before them, embraced him, and said:"Is it possible that after I spared your life you were trying to assassinate me?"
43283Here are horses and dogs and forests; will you hunt?"
43283How can you suppose that we should allow such rebellion?
43283How can you, madame, wish for my letters?
43283How could he know what happened at Commercy, or guess that the Pretender was going incognito to Bretagne?
43283How do you reconcile that puffed- up heart with the pious devotion in which you are being brought up?
43283I answer:"Well, my daughter, what can I do?
43283I never heard of that philosopher Spinoza; was he a Spaniard?
43283I replied:"And Honour, monsieur, what can repair that?"
43283I said,"How can that be, at her age?"
43283If you had to sit in my chamber and never say a word for a portion of your lives you would quiver with impatience, would you not?
43283If, with this magnificence, wealth, and luxury, I had nothing to pain me, would anything on this earth be so likely to ruin me?
43283In place of a blithesome fairy and a being of enchantment, what was it that suddenly appeared before them?
43283Is it not horrible?
43283Is it possible that he really thinks we will not give him good terms?
43283Lord Stair, having received these documents, said to Prince Cellamare:"Well, monsieur, what do you say now about your fleet?"
43283Next she said,"Is that all you are thinking?
43283Now, shall I venture to express my thought?
43283On the other hand, was I wrong to accept the affection of the king on the conditions upon which I accepted it?
43283Shall we fail to give our pupils the true ideas they ought to have on all things?
43283She is with the king from morning till night?''
43283She played a part in"Athalie;"why should I not tell what she thought of that play, capricious child that she was?
43283Sometimes the king perceives it and says:''You are very tired, are you not?
43283The fabricators of those lies are confounded, and now ask pardon: but was it not horrible to invent such tales?
43283The king said,"Is not a dinner, a cavalcade, a hunt, a collation enough for one day?"
43283The old_ guenipe_ came up to me and said:"Do you think yourself cleverer than all the doctors who are here?"
43283The surgeon wept and said to Fagon:"Do you compel me to be the one to kill my mistress?"
43283The surgeon who bled her said to Fagon:"Monsieur, have you reflected?
43283The_ valet de chambre_ said to him:"Monsieur, what are you doing in our closet, and why are you touching Madame''s cup?"
43283Thereupon she answered insolently( and I admired the patience of my son):"Did not the dauphine die?"
43283We talked of other things and then the king returned to the subject and said to me,"Should I not do better to speak to those gentlemen?"
43283What advantage should I gain by tormenting myself night and day?
43283What can I do then?
43283What can I do?
43283What does God do?
43283What effect does plain- chant have on the classes?"
43283What exception could there be to our rules?
43283What refinement do they mean by this?
43283What would have become of me, therefore, had I chosen Montargis for my residence?
43283When I reflect on my condition, and how burdened I am with cares and griefs, I think:''How would it be with my soul if this were not so?
43283When she came to thank me for that I said to her:"What mania possessed you to play the ghost instead of staying in your bed?"
43283Where can they be better brought up than beside so sensible and virtuous a mother?
43283Who has not seen such long- suppressed enmities which explode when an opening is made for them?
43283Why do you not ask of your class all that you know I should ask of them?
43283Why, madame, do you speak to me of respectful attachment?
43283Will he let them take Turin again?
43283You know the Gospel by heart; and what good will such learning do you if you are lost like Lucifer?
43283asked my son,"was she immortal?"
43283but do you love us less?
43283de Brinon and I?
43283de Grouchy into the novitiate; why not also Fontanges, who desires it so ardently?
43283de Maintenon asked us, with her accustomed kindness,"To whom, my children, do you wish me to address it?"
43283de Maintenon beside Louis XIV.?
43283de Maintenon said,"But have you nothing in your heart that you want to tell him?"
43283de Maintenon,"what are yours; what would they be if you were no longer here?"
43283de Mentenon me voit le plus souvent qui lui est possible ie croye pouvoir vous assurer sans saut[ trop?]
43283does he want him to take one of his sons as page?"
43283have you nothing else to say to him?"
43283he used to say,"must I, in order to please people, talk such paltry and silly nonsense as my brother?"
43283madame, ennui is gnawing you to death; why not take some amusement?
43283shall worldly decency go farther than charity?
43283to which he replied:"Do n''t you know that the good God to punish the devil makes him stay a very long time in a villanous body?"
37344And that?
37344Are you well seated? 37344 Do you love me, my dear son?"
37344Elle est sourde?
37344For whom is that seat?
37344Have you_ Pluralities Indefensible_, by Dr. Newton, founder of Hertford College?
37344How would you have us be gay?
37344I am giving you an useless trouble; but can any thing be done to relieve him?

37344Mais que voulez- vous? 37344 May I ask, have you consulted your family and friends?"
37344Mend_ you_?
37344Pourquoi me fuient- ils?
37344Quel est_ votre_ prix, Monsieur? 37344 Shall we set_ him_ down in the list?"
37344Tu n''es pas royaliste? 37344 Veux- tu mourir en capucin?
37344Vous l''avez vu, l''Empereur?
37344What do you call the dark ages?
37344What would the world think of such a step? 37344 What?"
37344Why did you not come sooner?
37344Why do you call him English?
37344Why does he not go away? 37344 Why not four?"
37344Will not the papists murder me?
37344[ 33] Ask where''s the north? 37344 [ 40]--"Qu''importe?
37344--"And my brother?
37344--"Are you aware of all the_ civil_ consequences?
37344--"But the title passes current?"
37344--"But you do not allow the orders of the Anglican church?"
37344--"But your expectations?"
37344--"Do you forgive me the faults I may have committed in regard to you?"
37344--"How do they put out candles in this country?"
37344--"How do_ you_ administer it?"
37344--"Me alone?
37344--"Moi seul?
37344--"Où donc?"
37344--"Perhaps you will lose some ecclesiastical benefice?"
37344--"What is there to laugh at in that?"
37344--"What use do they make of it?"
37344--"Why did not you propose this business to me this morning when I paid my rent?"
37344--"Why not two?"
37344--"Will you give me leave to send you a treatise on this subject, entitled_ La perpétuité de la foi de l''église touchant l''eucharistie_?"
37344--"You think so?

37344An Anglican clergyman put the question,"What is the mass?"
37344And how do they maintain it?

37344How far did his intelligence enable him to presage the fate that awaited him?
37344How then are the dead to be disposed of?
37344I addressed him in a hurried manner:--"Is my son to take the bark, since he is vomiting?"
37344I said to M. Breugne,"What am I to do?
37344I said,"Madame, you bring us good news from your campagne?"
37344I saw no light, and asked,"Where?"
37344In his weak state, how enter on such a topic?
37344In war, in politics, in civil contracts, in common life, men universally thus express themselves; and why not in religion?
37344It is easy to say, and it has often been said, that the gallery is too long,--too long, that is, for its breadth: but who would wish it to be shorter?

37344M. Breugne said,"Puisqu''il vomit?
37344My friend asked,"Why do you not speak to the administrators?"
37344Notwithstanding what she had heard and what she saw before her, the mother was alarmed, and cried out,"You think he will not live till morning?"
37344Other indications he gave, that he thought his end to be near: he said to me, with a pensive and composed look,--"Monument?
37344St. John Chrysostom, who lived in the fourth age, preached on this subject like a catholic doctor of the present day."--"Really?
37344The congratulator explained,"Why, does n''t see, that, for us to have good news of peace again, we must first have war again?
37344The next morning, Antoine asked Roche on his first visit,"Is M. Kenelm worse, Sir?
37344The priest, addressing him, said,"You see this is the crucifix?"
37344There are then sins that are forgiven in the world to come: but when?
37344There occurred besides another English prejudice: I was to have but a part of the house: who might they be who should inhabit the other part?
37344They returned consoled, but still dejected: the expression of their faces said plainly,--"It is not he; but then, where is he?"
37344Thou hast not conspired against the state?
37344Tu n''as pas conspiré contre l''état?

37344a question to my mind more difficult to answer than"how are the dead raised up?"
37344and soon after,"How far is it to the bridge of the Durance?"
37344as an answer, I asked,"What is the church of England?"

37344what, have you got a park?"
5716Are you quite sure?
5716But surely you are not going to put me ashore at this hour( it was almost dark) in the open fields? 5716 Can you speak French?"
5716Captain,said he,"I''ve come to know how many ladies will be wanted for the frigate?"
5716Do n''t you smoke?
5716Do n''t you understand? 5716 Do you see that bit of a blue cloak down that hole?

5716Whom do you mean?
5716After the King had departed, as the Members of the Chamber were talking over the attempt, one of them said,"Ought we to congratulate the King?"
5716All he got for his pains was a shout of"What the devil do we care about a mayor like you?"
5716And by whom?
5716And is not this the chief cause of the vigour and energy of the great American nation?
5716And so Paris was fortified Who dares nowadays to say, that this was not a convincing proof of the King''s foresight as a ruler?
5716And what indeed would life be without passion?
5716And what shall I say of the superb Swiss battalions, acknowledged by ancient tradition to be the finest infantry in the world?
5716And what were the stipulations of the treaty?
5716And what were we doing during these anxious hours?
5716And whither?
5716And why?
5716Are there any idle men in America?
5716As I listened to the tale I asked General Vallee,--"But what would you have done, General, if the assault had been repulsed?"
5716But how many envious individuals were there to every one who was content?
5716But how shall I describe my own, under such a terrible and unexpected blow?
5716But the moment we were seen crowding round and whispering with the old dancer, the governesses would charge down upon us with their"What is it?
5716But with what?
5716Did you ever even hear of it?
5716Do you know how to drive?"
5716For the insurrection?
5716For the rioters?
5716Had we not largely contributed by our support of the Belgian revolution to lessening his kingdom by one half?
5716Has this sort of export trade answered with us?
5716He entered the room and said:"Do you remember me?"
5716How could anybody be angry?
5716How was he, the Prince Royal, known as he was by everybody, to get away?
5716I see my father still, taking Casimir Perier by the arm, and shouting in his ear,"Tell them to serve out ball cartridge, ball cartridge, do you hear?"

5716Which of the two was in the right?
5716Why did the Emperor refuse to treat with M. de Bismarck in the name of France, when he met him, on the evening of Sedan, and asked him to do so?
5716Will it be believed that our squadrons never went near that excellent anchorage and lovely spot?
5716Would it be rendered her now?
5716Would it rise upright and capsize us, or would it break on us and swamp us?
5716Would that be possible nowadays, when electioneering palaver has embittered the whole business?

42231His wandering eye seems to interrogate every passenger, saying with heartrending accents of despondency:''Where shall I find my wife?
42231How can she replace this torn dress?
42231How indeed, without such a reflection, could he from day to day exist?
42231If they notice abuses why should they not point them out, when so many persons, reputed sage, are unwilling to do so?"

42231Why should he who puts the last hand to the work be reputed infamous for duties which are simply the complement of those of the magistrate?"
42231Will you, in your turn, reassure those who are attached to me in your neighbourhood?
42231Without them what should I now be?
42231You think, perhaps, that the dancer or the singer paid for the representatives of the people?
42231for what frightful calamity was I reserved?
42231had he not some personal vengeance to exercise against me?''
42231will you, then, to oblige the_ canaille_, compel me to hear out a whole play, when I am rich enough to see only the last scene?
59489''And where is Rougeau?''
59489''And you,''I said--''what is the matter with you?''
59489''And, after all,''said the Adjutant- Major,''where could he go, in the midst of the enemy?
59489''Before I tell you, have you a bit of something to eat about you?''
59489''Do you remember,''he said,''the day of the Battle of Eylau, when we were on the right of the church?''
59489''For whom?''
59489''How do you think I am to give you a hand?''
59489''How is that?''
59489''How the devil do you remember their names?''
59489''I am not mistaken,''she said, addressing me by name--''_mon pays_, is it you?''
59489''Is it possible?''
59489''Is that all?''
59489''It passed you,''said the Vélite,''and yet you did n''t see it?
59489''No, no; not at all.... Do n''t you see it is that brute of a General Roguet striking at everybody with his baton?
59489''Now I do,''I said;''but what can you do with him?''
59489''Then this is not fat, is it, rascal of a Spaniard?''
59489''To me?''
59489''Well, what is it?''
59489''Well,''said the good fellow,''which way now for us?''
59489''Were you very frightened, poor fellow?''
59489''What do you mean?''
59489''What do you mean?''
59489''What is that firing?''
59489''What, Russians?''
59489''Where has my cart got to?''
59489''Where the devil do you come from, comrade, that I have n''t met you while I''ve been walking all alone?''
59489''Where?''
59489''Where?''
59489''Who told you anything about her?''
59489''Who?--I?''
59489After seeing nearly everything, the Colonel said:''And what about the non- commissioned officers?''
59489An infantry soldier, the sentinel, called out:''Who goes there?''
59489And what about feeding her?''
59489And where the devil have you come from?
59489And where''s your_ queue_?''
59489And you?
59489At last, breaking the silence, I asked in rather a trembling voice:''Are you a Frenchman?''
59489But an instant afterwards:''Why, my dear fellow, is it you?
59489But do n''t you recognise Mouton?
59489But hardly was I inside, when I heard the click of a musket, and a deep voice said:''Who goes there?''
59489But several began questioning them, in particular the old Chasseur, who said:''How is it you are on horseback, and dressed like a Cossack?
59489But what could we do?
59489But what is to become of me?''
59489But where could I get wood to relight the fire?
59489But where is she?''
59489Combien sont- ils?
59489Combien sont- ils?
59489Combien sont- ils?
59489Could I have spent 315 francs?
59489Do n''t you see it, too?''
59489Do you not think he would be able to bring down his man?''
59489Do you remember when we embarked at Toulon on our way to Egypt?...''
59489Do you understand, sir?''
59489For sole answer, Marie sighed, saying,''How can you chaff an unhappy woman like me?''
59489Have n''t I been with him nearly five years, ever since the Battle of Eylau, and I''m not married?
59489Have you been in the rear- guard?''
59489Have you forgotten it, Picart?''
59489Have you met some of our men behind?''
59489He went on:''Did you notice how he looked at us?''
59489Hearing nothing more, I began to think my senses had deceived me, and I called out as loud as I possibly could:''Where are you?''
59489How is it that you are alone?
59489How many cartridges have you?''
59489How''s this?
59489I remember an old officer of this battalion, as he went forward, singing Roland''s song:''Combien sont- ils?
59489I said:''It''s I you are looking for, is n''t it?''
59489I went up to him, and, taking him by the arm, I said,''What is the matter with you, Picart?''
59489In our present dreadful circumstances, how could such music have been possible-- and, above all, at such an hour?
59489Is n''t that a column of troops?''
59489Is n''t that like Picart?''
59489Is that you?
59489Just then an officer galloped up, and, addressing the prisoners in French, he said:''Why do n''t you walk faster?''
59489Of what company is he?
59489On all sides we heard cries of''Who has seen my horse?''
59489One of them said to me,''Sergeant, suppose we put one of these guns into the hands of that peasant there who is trembling beside the stove?
59489Recognising me, he said:''Well, what are you doing there?
59489Several of them, on seeing me, began to call out,''Who would like 100 francs for a twenty- franc piece in gold?''
59489The Adjutant- Major, Roustan, ran to me and, seizing me by the arm, said:''My poor Bourgogne, are you wounded?''
59489The Colonel instantly said:''Sapper, you are wounded?''
59489The nearer I got to it, the better I seemed to recognise it, and at last I cried:''Is it you, Béloque?
59489Then, dragging me behind a bush, he said in a low voice,''Do n''t you see?''
59489To guard against a surprise, I drew my sword, and, advancing towards the man, I cried,''Who are you?''
59489Two of them spoke to us; one cried,''Comrades, are you going to kill the horse?
59489We had not been resting an hour, when we heard a shout,''Who goes there?''
59489We placed the Chasseur as comfortably as possible, and then left him to his melancholy fate; what else could we do?
59489What brought you here in the middle of the night?''
59489What do you say to that, Marie?''
59489What do you say, Marie?''
59489What do you want?''
59489What else could one do?
59489What have you been doing?
59489What in the devil''s name do you do with those queer customers, and where did you find them?
59489What is it?''
59489What object could these men have, almost dying as they were, in telling us this story, if it were not true?
59489What were we to do?
59489What will become of me?''
59489Where are they?''
59489Where are we?''
59489Who wants some?
59489Why, then, did we not leave a town where there were no houses to shelter us, and no provisions to feed us?
59489You remember that when we were leaving Moscow you entrusted me with a parcel?
59489[ 34] As I ate I said:''Picart, have you any brandy?''
59489[ Footnote 13:''Combien sont- ils?
59489_ From a sketch made at the time by an officer of Napoleon''s army._]''And the woman?''
59489he answered, as if only just awake,''is n''t the Emperor inspecting us?''
59489he exclaimed;''what is the good of that?
59489he said;''it is n''t you, Bourgogne?
59489he said;''that''s why I remind you of it, and ask you if a little patience and industry would not have mended your pan?''
59489is that you, Mother Gâteau?''
59489said the Marshal;''and why should you do it?
59489what will become of all these brave young fellows?''
43844A sort of living frontier?
43844And Basque,said I,"you speak that also?"
43844And do you say it?
43844And how do your witches work?
43844And it runs both ways along the ridge of the hill?
43844And now,said the old gentleman, the poodle''s proprietor and instructor,"what does Madame Tetard do when Monsieur Tetard comes home late?"
43844And so they all sleep here together?
43844And what does he grow there?
43844And what is your request?
43844And why have n''t you?
43844And you speak Spanish, too?
43844Are there any young women witches?
43844Are you mad, duke?
43844As ours in England used to do-- by spell and charm?
43844But do the Pyrenean wolves ever attack men?
43844But if there come rain?
43844But was not the experiment ever tried?
43844But where is the inn?
43844Could anything be more lucky? 43844 Did the power that formed the Adour intend its streams to be made use of to deprive an honest man of his daily bread?
43844He sails to- day-- so; and the maiden''s name-- your niece''s name-- what is that?
43844I can have a room?
43844I suppose you are speaking Bearne?
43844I suppose,I said to the clerk who showed me the works,"you have had many offers for that dog?"
43844Is it not beautiful?
43844Is there not the summer of St. John to come yet?
43844Lady,said she to the Lady of Bearne,"did you ever see your father?"
43844Monsieur,he said,"is an artist, or a poet?"
43844Niniche,said the patriarch,"what does Monsieur Tetard do when he comes home late?"
43844Or was it not,I asked, with hazy reminiscences of Juvenal floating about me,--"was it not a certain sewer-- the Cloaca Maxima, perhaps?"
43844Rather unruly, I should suppose?
43844That is a beautiful scarf,I said to the girl next me;"how much will they give you for making it?"
43844The Landes people have, or had, other queer notions, as well as the witch ones?
43844Tohua- Cohoa,he said;"it has a_ sacré tonnerre_ of a barbarous sound; has it any meaning?"
43844Was water made to weave cloth?
43844Well, and if you are, what then, eh? 43844 Well, now, did they ever do any harm to you?"
43844What do you do with them?
43844What do you think of that?
43844What harvest? 43844 What made him think so?"
43844Who are you?
43844Why so? 43844 Why so?"
43844Will you pay me?--ay or no?
43844You mean the Mediterranean?
43844Your niece,said the baron,"who comes hither from the town of Bordeaux to visit you, and whom I saw but yester even,--has she returned?"
43844_ Mais, monsieur_, where should they come from, but from the sea?
43844''Will you let me try?''
43844Ah, well, what is this poor unhappy world coming to?"
43844And meantime what was Jaques Fort doing in his new ship?
43844And, after all, what could be expected?
43844And, even if they were emblems, was not the point at issue the best gift-- not the best allegorical symbol?
43844As I was getting out, M. Martin stopped me:"Wait,"he said,"and we will drive into the house-- don''t you see how big the door is?"
43844As Quin used to say,"Anybody drink port?
43844As we talked, he inquired whether I were not a foreigner-- an Englishman-- and, with some hesitation, but with great eagerness-- a Protestant?
43844But what claim has it to beauty?
43844But who-- our friends the Russians, and their cousins the Esquimaux excepted-- could possibly be jolly over the idea of oil?
43844Can you see a valley or a ravine just over the olive there?
43844Could I believe my eyes?
43844Could it set without a sub- prefect?
43844Could the planets shine on France unless they were furnished with passports for the firmament?
43844Could the rain on France unless each drop came armed with the_ visé_ of some wonderful bureau or other?
43844Could the sun rise without a prefect?
43844Did you ever see such odd fish?
43844Do you know the meaning of Masdeu?
43844Do you wish sweet liqueur wines from Italy and the Levant?
43844Do you wish to make new Claret old?
43844How comes this?
43844However-- were there many handloom weavers like himself in England?
43844I asked again, then, how the poor people remained in such a hot- bed of pestilence?
43844I was not a native of this part of France?
43844Learn Basque, indeed!--_Mon Dieu, monsieur!_ Do n''t you know that the Devil once tried, and was obliged to give it up for a bad job?
43844No?
43844Not a native of France at all?
43844Now, I would put this question to Olympus:--How could the olive or the horse be emblems before they were created?
43844Now, what must be the common sense of a country which permits, for one instant, the continuance of this wretched little tyrannical humbug?
43844Of course I knew her?
43844Our wine-- bah!--what is it?
43844Perhaps from across the sea?
43844The Baron Armand turned to Klosso:"Does he speak truth?"
43844The Breton, who shot extraordinary well with a cross- bow, says to him,''Would you like to have that porter killed at a shot?''
43844The diligences had stopped running for the season; but what of that?
43844The people of Nismes and Montpellier were afraid of the fever; and even if they were not, why should they come there?
43844Then I came from some place far away?
43844Then recovering himself, he inquired triumphantly whether I meant to say that the process of grinding corn was like the process of weaving cloth?
43844Then the cavalier, trembling with anxiety, exclaimed:"What fountain is this?"
43844Then why did not the farmers use spade- husbandry?
43844Was the house shut up?
43844Well, then, how could the vintage begin until the people, who know nothing about the vintage, command it?
43844Were they not all French?--all the children of a king of France?
43844What could they find to occupy them among these drear pine- woods?
43844What harvest?"
43844What should the tide of progress or of improvement do in these deserts of pine and sand?
43844What thief, who had not made a vow of voluntary starvation, or who had not a morbid taste for living upon resin, would ever have ventured among them?
43844What was one to do?
43844What would France be without_ les autorités_?
43844Where have you seen such a landscape before?
43844Where, indeed, in France will you not?
43844Who built these gloriously fretted Gothic towers, rising high into the air, and sentinelled by so many minor steeples?
43844Who could resist this last attraction?
43844Who was the doughty warrior, thus resting in his mail?
43844Who will give us francs?
43844Who would have the heart to prescribe cold political economy in such a case?
43844cried the baron;"but who is the rascal with her?"
43844did they weave by water- power there, too?
43844said Armand;"you come without being called?"
43844said he of Bordeaux;"you do n''t expect to find French in this chaos?
43844said the baron;"and to whom?"
43844were the folks as bad as some of the people in his country?
43844what is that?"
43844what see I?"
45743And who is your Lord?
45743Are you the Bastard of Orleans?
45743Did you not send for me?
45743Do you believe all this, gentle Dauphin?
45743Do you believe in God?
45743Do you believe that,_ after this revelation_, you could not sin mortally?
45743Do you not know,asked the girl,"the saying that France is to be made desolate by a woman and restored by a Maid?"
45743Gentle Dauphin,she said to him one day,"why do you not believe me?
45743How can we pass through the armies of England and Burgundy?
45743How now, priest? 45743 How?
45743I have never sat a horse; how should I lead an army?
45743If you dress as you do by God''s command,they asked her,"why do you ask for a shift in the hour of death?"
45743Is it, indeed, come to this? 45743 Joan,"he said,"we could wait for six days were we sure of having the town, but can we be sure?"
45743Joan,said the archbishop,"is it known to you when you will die, and at what place?"
45743Miserable boy,she cried;"the blood of France is shedding, and you do not call me?
45743My child,he asked,"are you come hither to raise the siege?"
45743Now,said the Maid,"look well, and tell me; are their faces set toward us?"
45743Rascal,he said,"how dare you let that excommunicate wretch come so near the church?
45743Then I, Jean, swear to you, Maid, my hand in your hands, that I, God helping me, will lead you to the King, and I ask when you will go?
45743To Poitiers?
45743Was it you who gave counsel to come by this bank of the river, so that I can not go straight against Talbot and the English?
45743What brought you to the King?
45743What does she want? 45743 What language does the Voice speak?"
45743What woman is this?
45743What,he asked her,"would you think of a knight in your king''s land who refused to obey your king and his officers?
45743Who is this?
45743Will you not tell us, in the presence of the king, what is the nature and manner of this counsel that you receive?
45743[ 45] What next was for the Maid to do? 45743 _ Rouen, Rouen, mourrai- je içi?
45743A miracle?
45743A shining quartz pebble, shall we say?
45743After all, what more simple than to find out whether this counsel was of God or the devil?
45743Alençon had already built a bridge across the Seine near St. Denis; how if they crossed this bridge with a chosen few and surprised the town?
45743Alençon was loyal to the core; how could he disobey his sovereign?
45743Allies?
45743Appear before King and Parliament to receive his just doom?
45743Are we then to turn our backs?"
45743Are you going to make us dine here?"
45743Basque, is this what you promised me?"
45743CHAPTER VIII RECOGNITION Sera- elle point jamais trouvée Celle qui ayme Louyaulté?
45743Coronation at Rheims?
45743Could it be?
45743D''Aulon said to his friend, a Basque whom he knew well,"If I dismount and go forward to the foot of the wall, will you follow me?"
45743Did she, they asked, feel assurance of salvation?
45743Do you not know that I promised your wife to bring you back safe and sound, better than when you left?"
45743France in the fifteenth century: what was it like?
45743France?
45743Friends then?
45743Give way, without battle, to a girl?
45743Had he not bidden them sow beans in vast quantities in case of emergency?
45743Had not Brother Richard, the Cordelier friar, warned them against this Maid, saying that she was, or might be, a female Antichrist?
45743Had they heard the prophecy that a Maid should be born in the neighborhood, who should do great deeds?
45743Have you felt the touch of fire?
45743How should she ply her needle, when the sword was waiting for her hand?
45743How should she sit to spin, with saints and angels calling in her ear?
45743How then?
45743How, people asked, if here were a new revelation?
45743If my lord would call in, for example, those who dealt in magic----?
45743If so, was it a miracle, as people thought then, the robbers held with invisible bonds, unable to stir hand or foot?
45743If we stood, as one may still stand, in that vaulted chamber, would not the answer ring out once more from those grim walls that received it?
45743Is it a true tale?
45743Is not this perhaps the most wonderful part of all the heroic story?
45743It was ill- done of Father Fournier, she said afterward; had he not heard her fully in confession?
45743Joan had heard rumors of all this; but what was a baby princess three hundred leagues away?
45743Margaret?"
45743Must the King be walked out of his kingdom, and must we all be English?"
45743Must the city of Clovis bow like him, taking on new vows and forswearing old?
45743On came La Hire and his eighty cavaliers, dashing across the open, crashing through the woods, who so merry as they?
45743Our Maid was at Monlieu that very November; she may have met St. Colette, and talked with her of matters human and divine; who knows?
45743Seeing her in her red peasant- dress, he stopped and said,"_ Ma mie_, what are you doing here?
45743Sera- elle point jamais trouvée Celle qui ayme Louyaulté?
45743Sera- elle point jamais trouvée?
45743Seras- tu ma maison?
45743Shalt thou be my( last) home?
45743She may even have worn it-- who knows?
45743Should they storm the fortress, or proceed by slower methods?
45743Since all else had failed, why not let the Maid prove her Voices to be of God?
45743Son of a mad father and a bad mother, was he indeed the rightful heir?
45743The Duke related his symptoms and asked for advice; hinted that perhaps a little miracle, even, might be performed?
45743The Maid, Alençon, Dunois, Xaintrailles-- where was La Hire?
45743The cruel toil, the bloodshed and the glory-- was all to be for naught?
45743The day was lost?
45743The discovery was made in time, but who could tell what new dangers might await them?
45743The lord of Bourlemont and his lady sometimes joined the dancing; had not his ancestor loved a fairy when time was, and been loved of her?
45743Then the guest might ask, was not this the country of the Oak Wood,"_ le Bois Chesnu_?"
45743Torn by factions, weakened by loss of blood, ridden first by one furious free- booter and then another, what chance had she?
45743Was Heaven, after all, on the side of France?
45743Was he after all the rightful heir?
45743Was it the sight of her?
45743Was it true that after her fall she had blasphemed God and her saints?
45743Was one of them the quaint ditty whose opening lines head this chapter?
45743Was the breach definitely practicable?
45743What awaited the Maid in"white Chinon by the blue Vienne?"
45743What did she mean about help from Scotland?
45743What in return would they make of the slim rider in battered armor, urging her horse to the gallop?
45743What to do, with affairs in general, with the Maid in particular?
45743What to do?
45743What was a holy city to do?
45743What would she make, I wonder, of those two lovely ladies, her of the shoulders and her of the silken tresses?
45743Where La Hire, Xaintrailles?
45743Where her friend and brother- in- arms, the gentle duke of Alençon?
45743Who is she that cometh in bloody coronation robes from Rheims?
45743Who is she that cometh with blackened flesh from walking the furnaces of Rouen?
45743Who is this that cometh from Domrémy?
45743Who knows from what far Druid time came the custom of dancing around its huge trunk and hanging garlands on its gnarled boughs?
45743Who shall read this riddle?
45743Who wanted to save the kingdom?
45743Who would pay most for her?
45743Why not get up an expedition against these two places, and send the Maid in charge?
45743Would Joan of Arc submit to Holy Church, or would she burn, now, in an hour''s time?
45743Would she abjure, or burn?
45743Yes; but-- England beside her?
45743[ 70] Rouen, Rouen, shall I die here?
45743_ And all the people shall say Amen!_ Was the good Maid beginning to have glimpses of the clay feet of her idol?
45743_ À la bonne heure!_ The word?
45743adore----"was St. Remy speaking again in the person of this peasant maid?
45743gentle Duke,"she added, with the pretty touch of raillery that was all her own;"are you afraid?
45743where was Dunois?
2580After the special debates, will not each of the accused demand a general prosecution? 2580 Are the lessons furnished by history, the examples afforded by all great men, lost to the universe?
2580But food-- shall we have enough for to- morrow? 2580 Did they steal anything from you?"
2580Do you know that I have only to say the word and send you to the guillotine?
2580Do you suppose, replied Reubell, that I want the Cape and Trinquemale restored for Holland? 2580 Except about fifty men who are honest and intelligent, history presents no sovereign assembly containing so much vice, abjectness and ignorance."?
2580How a famous fright? 2580 I had to pronounce judgment according to the jury''s declaration-- what could I do?
2580Internal dangers come from the bourgeois... who are our enemies? 2580 Is there no doubt of this in your mind?"
2580Persons who can neither read nor write obtain the places of accountants of more or less importance.?
2580The eating houses and pastry- cooks are better supplied than ever.?
2580They took a silver coffee- pot, two soap- cases and a silver shaving- dish"Who took those articles?
2580Very well, citizen, and how are you?
2580Was nothing else taken from you?
2580We''ll see-- will you step in the parlor?
2580Well, Roux, how do we stand about supplying Paris with food?
2580What are generals good for?
2580What for,I ask,"to take my inventory?"
2580What have you done that you have not done freely?]
2580What''s that to you?
2580When will the heads of those rascally merchants fall?
2580Where are you going?
2580Who am I that am thus accused? 2580 Who are you?"
2580Who committed this robbery?

2580Why such delays? 2580 You ca n''t see straight-- who are you?

2580[ 3210] Has not Robespierre taught him a lesson, and in his most pedantic manner? 2580 [ 33124] At this very moment, does not the representative on mission authorize their greed?

2580A city official coolly replied to us: What would you have?
2580Afterwards, how disband four hundred thousand hungry officers and soldiers?
2580And if it succeeds will a stable government be at last established?
2580And what do you behold?
2580And what for?
2580And who are these devastators?
2580Apropos of the Revolution, and the danger we incurred, he said innocently:"Do n''t I run as much risk as anybody?
2580Are not these the fraternal kisses of patriotic Jacobins?
2580Are you not acquainted with the men who compose it?
2580At last,''scoundrel, monster, bastard,''says he,''are you a marquis?''
2580At the first interview Saint- Just said to Schneider:"Why use so much ceremony?
2580Besides, one may ask why should there be witnesses?
2580Curiosity led them all to come in and see us dining together.--"Brother,"says Velu to me,"do n''t these people eat with you?"
2580Do n''t you know that the money, the wealth of these old merchants, belongs to you, and is not the river there?"
2580Do not Mayor Pache''s wife and daughter go to the clubs and kiss drunken sans- culottes?
2580Do we not all stand at the foot of the guillotine, all, beginning with myself?"
2580Do you believe in equality established by nature and ordained by the Convention?
2580Does it merely relate to those incarcerated?
2580Does it provide for its own revision?
2580Does yours, then, resemble despotism?
2580For what have you chosen them?
2580Fright is the cause of it.... And where does this fear come from?
2580From which side is the next coup d''état to come-- Who will make it?
2580Gidouin then says to Lepetit:"You do n''t mean to stop with those four peasants?
2580Goullin,[33165] one of the founders, demands in relation to each member,"Is n''t there some one still more rascally?
2580Have you at last renounced the arrogance of the ancient regime?
2580How about the fees?
2580How many dissidents are there, disguised as orthodox, charlatans disguised as patriots, and pashas disguised as sans- culottes?
2580How many perished on account of this misery?
2580How renew that immense fund of confiscations on which the French republic has lived for the past eight years?
2580How support gigantic and exacting crimes on its own soil?
2580I say to them how much do the rich pay here?...
2580If one or the other of these blows is struck, will it succeed?
2580If you do not know them, how does it happen that you have summoned them for such duties?"
2580In such a situation how can any enterprise be commenced or maintained?
2580In what respect is Danton superior to his fellow- citizens?....
2580Into whose hands could the property of anti- revolutionists better fall than into those of patriots?
2580Is he not the founder of the new cult, the only pure worship on the face of the earth, approved of by morality and reason?
2580Is it possible that man can thus lie to himself and hence to others?
2580Is it possible?
2580Is not he himself its most dazzling ornament?
2580Is that what they come here for?"
2580Is this constitution worthy of a free people?
2580Is your cell not a meeting place for the aristocrats?...
2580Now, where''s your silver?
2580Of what consequence is it who are the authors of the Constitution presented to you?
2580Of what species do the beings consist, who can accept such a task, and perform it day after day, with the prospect of doing it indefinitely?
2580Of what use are these eternal examinations?
2580Or,''What''s the use?
2580Plans, formal maneuvers, tents, camps, redoubts?
2580Shall Billaud do it?
2580Shall Robespierre do it?
2580Should he not"explain himself freely on the authors of a dangerous plot?"
2580That''s long enough to fill one''s pocket and belly and rumple silk dresses?"
2580The following morning Monestier says to the president of the court:"Well, we gave poor Lasalle a famous fright last night, did n''t we?"
2580The machine being his, why, after constructing it, did he not serve as its engineer?
2580The vicious and the rich.... How may the civil war be stopped?
2580Then, one of them exclaims:"President, are there any refreshments provided for us?
2580Upon this, a knock at the door is heard; Lemoal enters and all present slip out of the room, and Lemoal pronounces these words only:"Do you consent?"
2580Was I free, then, to refuse?"
2580Was not he unanimously chosen to preside over the Convention and conduct the ceremonies?
2580What are your feelings?
2580What could I do against Darthé supported by Saint- Just and Lebas?
2580What do I say?
2580What do we care for the ideas of an individual alongside of national ideas?...
2580What have you done to avoid the sword of justice?
2580What is more beautiful, says the great moralist, more sublime, than an Assembly which purges itself?
2580What need is there of going so deep into this matter?
2580What shall we do?
2580What will become of us?"
2580Where did you come from?
2580Where should we find a Republican police?...

2580Who has ever furnished the world with this spectacle?
2580Who will assure me that these children, inspired by parental egoism, will not become dangerous to the Republic?
2580Why do those who but lately exclaimed''I affirm that we are treading on a volcano''now behold themselves sleeping on a bed of roses?"]
2580Why should it hesitate in commanding the execution of every work advantageous to the community, and why abstain from forbidding every harmful work?
2580Why so much ceremony in shortening the days of wretches whom the people have already condemned?"
2580Why then, from this point of view, should the State scruple about prescribing some of these to me and forbidding others?
2580Will it be the mitigated Jacobins, and, through another 18th of Fructidor, will they put the ultras under lock and key?
2580Will it be the ultra Jacobins, and, through another 9th of Thermidor, will they declare the mitigated Jacobins"outlaws?"
2580Will so many retired generals consent to live on half- pay, indolent and obedient?
2580Would you have rights and liberties?
2580You have the audacity to mention a traitor''s name in this place?"

16933''But was there not a picture of you,''asked Beaupère,''in your host''s house at Orleans?''
16933''But why,''then asked Beaupère,''does the voice not speak to the King now, as it did formerly, when you were with him?''
16933''But,''next inquired Beaupère,''when you were at the castle of Beaurevoir, did not the ladies there ask you to do so?''
16933''But,''replied Cauchon,''have you not abjured, and promised never to take to wearing this dress again?''
16933''But,''said Cauchon,''do you imagine then that God is not able to reveal to some one besides yourself things that you may be ignorant about?''
16933''But,''said Cauchon,''if we were to order a grand procession to restore your health, then would you not submit yourself?''
16933''But,''said Cauchon,''those acts and words of yours which have been found evil by the judges, will you recant them?''
16933''But,''said the Bishop,''are you not aware you have now no right to wear such a dress?''
16933''But,''then said Cauchon,''do you mean to tell us that you still persist in saying that you have been sent by God?''
16933''Did he not,''said Cauchon,''speak the truth?''

16933''Did you make a present to your brothers of those arms?''
16933''Did you make the sortie by the command of your voices?''

16933''Does He,''asked the priest,''tell you not to wear the man''s dress?
16933''Does not Saint Margaret speak in English?''
16933''Had it said anything to you before you interrupted it?''
16933''Had she not,''she was asked,''made use of these rings to heal the sick?''
16933''Had she,''she asked Alençon,''ever given him reason to doubt her word?''
16933''Had you been fasting?''
16933''Had you it when at Lagny?''
16933''Had you not another one as well?''
16933''Had you not,''asked the priest,''when you went to Orleans, a banner or pennon?

16933''How do you distinguish one from the other?''
16933''How long have they been in communication with you?''
16933''How many soldiers did the King give you,''asked the priest,''when he gave you a command?''
16933''How should she,''was the answer,''when she is not on the side of the English?''
16933''In what manner were you wounded?''
16933''Nothing more?''
16933''Of what material was the banner made?
16933''Since then, did your voices tell you that you would be taken?''
16933''Then you admit,''said the Bishop,''that the King and others have sometimes urged you to act as you have done?''
16933''Then,''continued the Bishop, with eagerness,''you retract your abjuration?''
16933''Then,''continued the Bishop,''you deny that to which you swore on oath only last Thursday?''
16933''Then,''said the Bishop,''will you not tell us in the King''s presence in what way your voices communicate with you?''
16933''Upon your banner, the one you carried, was not a picture painted representing the world and two angels?
16933''Was it in your room?''

16933''When were you wounded?''

16933How did she occupy herself, and what were her duties?
16933How had she been able not only to learn the tactics of a campaign, the rudiments of the art of war, but even the art itself?
16933How were they to arrive at a certain knowledge regarding those mystic portents?
16933If the poles were broken, were they renewed?''
16933J.--''Yes, to sew and to spin, and for that I am not afraid to be matched by any woman in Rouen?''
16933John de la Fontaine questioned the prisoner as follows:--''When you went to Compiègne from which place did you start?''
16933Lepage, H.,''Jeanne d''Arc est- elle Lorraine?
16933Mais où sont les neiges d''antan?''
16933Meanwhile the English soldiers began to grumble at the length of these preparations:''Do they expect us to dine here?''
16933Of what colour was that?''
16933One difficult question arises-- namely, are these notes to be relied on?
16933Other absurd questions followed-- as to his hair; long or short?
16933Paris, 1855(?)
16933Rouen, 1590(?)
16933The cry was,''When will the angelic one arrive?''
16933The former styled Joan of Arc''a monstrous woman,''and also suggested that fine passage beginning''Why ring not the bells throughout the town?''
16933Then Cauchon asked Joan if she believed in the holy Scriptures?
16933This brings one to the much debated question,''Who wrote the First Part of_ King Henry VI._?''
16933Was he clothed?''
16933Was she piously brought up?
16933Was there not growing there a certain fabulous plant, called Mandragora?
16933Were any investigations made in her native country at the time she was taken prisoner?
16933Were they of good character and of good repute?
16933What more could be required of her than this entire submission to the Church?
16933What was the significance of that?''
16933When and where was Joan born?
16933When had she last heard it?
16933and had not Baudricourt,''he added,''wished she should dress as a man?''
16933asked Beaupère,--''your banner or your sword?''
16933she cried,''must I die here?
8575And the Empress, who hates us?
8575But Count Metternich?
8575But the Emperor?
8575Do you promise and swear to show to him the fidelity in all things which a faithful wife owes to her husband, according to God''s holy commandment?
8575Do you think Humboldt will soon finish the account of his travels? 8575 Does the Emperor like music?"
8575Gentlemen,he broke out,"why are you not in sacerdotal garments?
8575Have you any message for your father?
8575Shall I be able to have a teacher on the harp? 8575 What do they say about me in the different departments you have been through?"
8575What should I do,he asked,"at the house of Louis Philippe''s ambassador?
8575What? 8575 Where are the cardinals?"
8575Where were you when I came in?
8575Who says that we did n''t want to?
8575''But what have you done to Madame Lazansky?''
8575''What did the Empress say yesterday?''
8575And as for this Palace of Saint Cloud, so brilliant and radiant, what was to become of it?
8575And did she not do all that could be demanded of her as regent?
8575And the boy answered,"But sha n''t I have a sword to beat down the bayonets?"
8575Are they wrong?"
8575Are you attorneys, notaries, or physicians?
8575Besides, was it not her duty, on entering France, to give up everything that came from her former home?
8575But for Napoleon, who was so adored in the day of triumph, how was he treated in adversity?
8575But might not there arrive the next moment a courier from Saint Petersburg, bringing a definite answer from the Czar?
8575But what difference could a simple shower make to a people accustomed to streams of blood?
8575But who at the beginning of that fatal year, 1812, could have foretold the catastrophes which were so near?
8575But who gave him any such power?
8575But would Napoleon have a son?
8575But would she have dared to give even one word of advice to her powerful husband?
8575Can she be accused of intriguing with the Allies; and if at the last moment she left Paris, was it not in obedience to her husband''s express command?
8575Could a woman of twenty- two be strong enough to withstand the tempest?
8575Could all the praise of Napoleon which she had been hearing for the last few days wipe out the memory of the abuse she had so often heard?
8575Could he even rely on his own subjects?
8575Could she, then, in a single day learn to love the man who always had been held up before her as a second Attila, as the scourge of God?
8575Could that gorgeous state carriage drive from her mind the memory of the martyred queen''s tumbrel?
8575Could the absence of the thirteen cardinals have been enough to mar this magnificent ceremony?
8575Did he make any pretence of concealing his intention to overthrow every throne, and to make himself the oldest sovereign?
8575Did not the marshals of the Empire now serve as an escort to Louis XVIII.?
8575Did the dethroned Empress carry away with her a pleasant memory of France and the French people?
8575Did you ever see feet like those?"
8575Do n''t you appear in public every day?
8575Do they see in me any justification for the caricatures which are forever presenting me as a creature of the feeblest intelligence?"
8575Do you imagine that monarchs''marriages are matters of sentiment?
8575Does not this simple statement suffice to show in what esteem the German sovereign held France and the French character?
8575Has not his government exiled and outlawed me?
8575Has she been laughing or crying?
8575Has the Empress been abusing me?
8575I have another throne for him; and as for you, I shall treat you as a conquered country"?
8575If at times a swift and sombre anticipation of evil crowned his mind, what was that presentiment by the side of the terrible reality?
8575If such is the sport of the monarch of thunder when he yields to the sweets of Hymen, what will it be when he again grasps the thunderbolt?
8575In short, what did Marie Louise lack in the beginning of 1812?
8575Is anything less like a brilliant spring day than a gloomy winter''s day?
8575Is it because a Roman priest has excommunicated me?
8575Is it possible that you are too blind to see that every peace, easy or hard, is nothing more than a brief truce?
8575Is that all?
8575Is that your usual way?''
8575It would be possible?
8575Let Napoleon suffer but a single defeat, and then on which one of his vassals would he be able to count?
8575May I ask what may be counted on in regard of your sister?
8575Might not this young German be the forerunner of numberless volunteers who were about to organize against France what they would consider a holy war?
8575Might she not have added,"So long as you are not unfortunate"?
8575Mythology, too, was called in:--"Do you see the leopard, weary of carnage, Sated with blood, towards his savage lair Run roaring?
8575No one there could see me without blushing; and then, too, what would my feelings be?"
8575She had been promised wealth, grandeur, power; but do those constitute happiness?
8575The Archduchess listened with her usual calmness, and, after a moment''s reflection, asked him,"What are my father''s wishes?"
8575This ball, followed by a horrid catastrophe, this grand drawing- room, vanishing in flames, were they not omens of evil?
8575Was not flight a duty for the hapless sovereign?
8575Was not the great empire to perish in the same way?
8575Was not the whole of Germany ready for the fray?
8575Was not this a sign of the times?
8575We do not think so; and, to be frank, was what had just happened likely to give her a favorable idea of the country she was leaving?
8575Were her hands strong enough to rebuild the colossal edifice that lay in ruins upon the ground?
8575Were not Russia and Prussia as desirous as Austria of revenge?
8575Were not the Cossacks who went to Blois after the Empress rapturously applauded by the French, in Paris itself, upon the very boulevards?
8575Were there not already in his overgrown Empire many germs of decay and death?
8575What could there have been under the Empire to compare with the affair of the necklace?
8575What did they do to save the crown of the King of Rome, whose cradle they had saluted with such noisy acclamations?
8575What glory or greatness can wipe out the touching memories of infancy?
8575What had become of the unhappy mother?
8575What had happened?
8575What was the language of the Senate, lately so obsequious and servile?
8575What were the real feelings of these princes, who were so obsequious to Napoleon?
8575What would the conqueror have said if, in the misty future, he had seen anything of his own fate?
8575When Napoleon came back, laughing, he said,''Well, have you had a good talk?
8575When he used to look at the new Prussia on the map he would say,''Is it possible that I have left that man so much territory?''"
8575Whence came these tardy scruples, this unexpected delay?
8575Where were the eagles, the flags, and the tricolored cockades?
8575Who could have come at that hour?
8575Who could have foreseen that this unknown general would one day be Marie Louise''s consort, Napoleon''s successor?
8575Who except the Emperor?
8575Who has the power to release subjects from their oath of allegiance to the legally appointed ruler?
8575Who knows, indeed, but what she dreaded the same fate for herself, in case she should bear no children?
8575Who would have dared to treat Napoleon''s wife as the Cardinal de Rohan treated the wife of Louis XVI.?
8575Who, when he hears that some apparently healthy person has dropped dead, is not astonished?
8575Why did n''t_ you_ do it?"
8575Why was he not wise enough to stop and give thanks to Providence, instead of continuing his perilous course and forever tempting fortune?
8575Would Heaven crown his unexampled prosperity with this new favor?
8575Would Napoleon, impatient as he was and unused to delay-- would he accept the slightest postponement on the part of Austria?
8575Would she be brave enough, could she indeed remain in Paris without disobeying Napoleon?
8575You may think so; but the Ambassador?"
8575at the moment when that descendant of Saint Louis essayed to speak a few last words to his people?
8575that for a long time we are hastening to one conclusion, of which peace is but one of the stations?
8575the Emperor went on,''Why is she sent back?
9602An explanation?
9602And what are your means?
9602And what will follow abdication?
9602And who says,exclaimed Robespierre, sharply,"that an innocent person has been put to death?"
9602And your parcel?
9602Can you think of it, general?
9602Citizen general,said Camus then,"will you obey the decree of the national convention, and repair to Paris?"
9602Do you know citizen Robespierre?
9602Has liberty, then, only been shown to man that he might never enjoy it? 9602 It is asked,"said he,"how long the deputies of the people have been a national convention?
9602Monsieur Roederer,said Madame Elizabeth, addressing the recorder,"you answer for the life of the king?"
9602On what business?
9602President of assassins,he cried,"for the last time, will you let me speak?"
9602Shall they be green,he cried,"the colour of hope; or red, the colour of the free order of Cincinnatus?"
9602Well, and what do they want?
9602What could be his motive for attacking you?
9602What did you propose doing with your two knives?
9602What do the people require?
9602What have you done,said he,"with that France which I left so flourishing in your hands?
9602What motive brought you to Robespierre''s?
9602What seek these men,he continued--"what seek these men who call us the successors of Robespierre?
9602What,said Lucien,"do you wish me to pronounce the outlawry of my brother?"
9602Where is that?
9602Where was tyranny organized?
9602Who is this president of the Feuillants,said Merlin de Thionville,"who assumes to dictate to us the law?"
9602You entangle us in sophisms,replied the abbé Maury;"how long have we been a national convention?
9602_ What did you think of the ceremony? 9602 --Are you for the third estate?"
9602--"Is it long since you conceived this project?"
9602--"You learned then by the papers that Marat was a friend of anarchy?"
9602--And Godoy?
9602A Spaniard by the grace of God.--Who is the enemy of our happiness?
9602Accordingly they vehemently opposed the motion, and Merlin de Douai went so far as to say:"Do you want to throw open the doors of the Temple?"
9602And who has paralysed it?
9602And without, how many spectators could be reckoned drawn thither by truly incomprehensible curiosity?
9602And, whatever the deliberative body might be, was it to be permanent or periodical, and should the king share the legislative power with it?
9602Augereau had no need even to force the passage of the Pont- Tournant: as soon as he came before the grenadiers, he cried out,"Are you republicans?"
9602But how could he set about it?
9602But should this king have any other will than that of the law?
9602But the legislative assembly?
9602But to whom could he apply?
9602But what should be the form of the deliberative body in future sessions?
9602But what was his design in granting the most influential places to new men, and in separating himself from the committees?
9602But why seek for the language of a faction in what he writes?
9602But, it is asked, why, if the people did not assist in these murders, did they not hinder them?
9602Can we carry our country away on the sole of our shoe?"
9602Citizens, know you what they seek?
9602Cupidity, treason, and ignorance.--Who are the French?
9602Danton turned to one of his friends who had accompanied him, and said, with a bitter smile:"What do you say to this?
9602Did he aspire to the dictatorship?
9602Did it give you the right of sanction, a civil list and so many prerogatives, constitutionally to lose the empire and the constitution?
9602Did it place you at the head of our army for our glory or our shame?
9602Did the constitution leave you the choice of ministers for our happiness or our ruin?
9602Did the people desire the abolition of an oppressive tax?
9602Do you think the republic is definitively established?
9602Do you think to deceive us as to our misfortunes by the art of your excuses?
9602For myself, what faction do I belong to?
9602Former Christians become heretics.--Is it a sin to kill a Frenchman?
9602From sin.--Murat?
9602Has patriotism been better protected?
9602Has the general agitation any other cause than that of the revolutionary movement itself?"
9602Have factions been more timid?
9602Have they not glorified themselves by it?
9602He was asked if he had taken measures to prevent the crowd from arriving at the château?
9602His journal produced a great effect upon public opinion; it inspired some hope and courage: Have you read the_ Vieux Cordelier_?
9602How could the voice of humanity, which had died in this terrible crisis, be heard?
9602How could they have done with just laws what the Mountain effected by violent measures?
9602How many executioners were there within?
9602If he had guarded the Carrousel?
9602If the latter form should be adopted, what should be the nature of the second chamber?
9602Is Catiline at our gates?
9602Is France, whose children are so ardent and changeable, to be exposed every two years to a revolution in her laws and opinions?"
9602Louis abolished it: did the people desire the suppression of slavery?
9602Louis suppressed it: did the people solicit reforms?
9602Napoleon could not have been defeated by the hand of man, for what general could have triumphed over this incomparable chief?
9602No, father; heaven is gained by killing one of these dogs of heretics.--What punishment does the Spaniard deserve who has failed in his duty?
9602One true one, in three deceptive persons.--What are their names, Napoleon, Murat, and Manuel Godoy.--Which of the three is the most wicked?
9602Or the country more happy?
9602Pride and despotism.--Of the second?
9602Rapine and cruelty.--Of the third?
9602Should it be made an aristocratic assembly, or a moderative senate?
9602Should it remain indivisible, or be divided into two chambers?
9602Soldiers, may I rely on you?"
9602The death and infamy of a traitor.--What will deliver us from our enemies?
9602The emperor of the French.--How many natures has he?
9602The following is the catechism used by the priests:"Tell me, my child, who you are?
9602The junction of the two.--What is the ruling spirit of the first?
9602Then an old man cried:"Comrades, why do you listen to traitors?
9602There is a government, there are authorities; but the rest of the nation, what is it?
9602They are all three equally so.--Whence is Napoleon derived?
9602This concession of an experimental policy not existing, what means remained to the directory of driving the enemy from the heart of the state?
9602To conquer them, to prostrate them, what is necessary?
9602To set aside projects for strengthening the interior?
9602To the sentinel''s cry of"_ Qui vive?_"they replied:"_ Vive la république!
9602Two: human and diabolical.--How many emperors of the French are there?
9602Was it defending us not to check a general who was violating the constitution, while you repressed the courage of those who sought to serve it?
9602Was it defending us to oppose to foreign soldiers forces whose known inferiority admitted of no doubt as to their defeat?
9602What have you done with the hundred thousand Frenchmen whom I knew, my companions in glory?
9602What is it you want, those of you who do not wish for virtue, that you may be happy?
9602What is it you want, those of you who do not wish to employ terror against the wicked?
9602What is it you want, those of you who haunt public places to be seen, and to have it said of you:''Do you see such a one pass?''
9602What is this insulting dictatorship?
9602What was to be done?
9602What would my adversaries have done in my place?
9602What would the upper chamber have done between the court and the nation?
9602What, I ask, has been the consequence of these reiterated pardons?
9602Where are the enemies of the nation?
9602Where had it its supports and its satellites?
9602While the insurrection assumed this violent, permanent, and serious character at Paris, what was doing at Versailles?
9602Who can speak freely while he fears an arrest?"
9602Who could withstand us?
9602Who gives this command?
9602Who makes these imperious laws for you?
9602Who regret the terrible reign we have lived under?
9602Why did not some hospitable land, on the 10th Thermidor, give back to light that colony of energetic patriots and virtuous republicans?
9602Why do you hesitate to introduce unanimity of desires and principles between the two first authorities of the republic?
9602Why were there not caverns deep enough to preserve to the country the meditations of Condorcet, the eloquence of Vergniaud?
9602Why?
9602cried he;"is it possible?
9602he consented to change them: did the people desire that millions of Frenchmen should be restored to their rights?
9602he made them: did the people wish to change its laws?
9602he restored them: did the people wish for liberty?
9602rejoined Danton,"an explanation?
9602what are you doing?
9602what army could have conquered the French army?
32343''As a present?'' 32343 ''But the knife?''
32343''Do you mean to tell me,''he almost hissed,''that you do not want to belong to the Commune?'' 32343 ''How am I to stay without money?''
32343''How?'' 32343 ''What do you mean, father?''
32343''Who art thou?'' 32343 ''Why should people make fun of you?''
32343''You are going to Joigny?'' 32343 A qui ces canons- là?"
32343And how long, think you, did Dumas stay in his new domicile? 32343 And what did the king reply?"
32343Are you an archæologist?
32343Are you quite sure, monsieur, about your sounds?
32343But how?
32343But what can I do?
32343But why to- morrow?
32343C''est tout à fait comme Napoléon et Jomini, mon cher Vernet,said Laurent- Jan;"mais, après tout, qu''est que cela vous fait?
32343Ca n''t you see? 32343 Can you do with a nice lot of narrow silk ribbon?"
32343Comment, au régiment du Gymnase?
32343Countermanded? 32343 Did you get your sleep?"
32343Did you go and hear that music, at the Théâtre de Madame?
32343Do you know the original?
32343Do you really think that was his own invention?
32343Do you think he was the concierge or le commissionnaire du coin?
32343Grand Dieu,exclaimed Gozlan,"pourquoi lui a- t- on donné cette croix?"
32343Has he ever told you why he did not re- engage me?
32343Have you ever tried the experiment on a living animal?
32343Have you finished, monsieur le maréchal?
32343How did they find me out here?
32343How does he spend his money?
32343How much do you really want?
32343How much for the rabbit?
32343How much for?
32343I am very sorry for your mishap,I said;"but what, in Heaven''s name, induced you to meddle with politics?"
32343If we gave you fifty thousand francs,says M. Émile Pereire,"would you give us some breathing- time?"
32343Is monsieur at home?
32343Is that a fact?
32343Is that all you want with me?
32343Ma femme, es- tu contente de moi?
32343Mais, monsieur,says one,"maintenant que nous avons du beurre, veuillez nous dire d''où viendront nos épinards?
32343Mais, on est mère, ou on ne l''est pas?
32343Monsieur,he said,"will you allow me to ask you a question?"
32343Now that you speak of it, they are playing''Les Huguenots''to- night,replied Lord----;"but what has that to do with it?
32343Now would you like to hear what happened after the performance?
32343Of course he does-- they all do,was the answer;"mais ça n''empêche pas les sentiments, does it?"
32343Perfectly, mademoiselle,replied the comte;"but you will send me back my carriage, wo n''t you?"
32343Pourquoi pas, mon Dieu?
32343Qu''est que cela me fait, à moi? 32343 Quels sont ces citoyens?"
32343So you have been sitting here for the last four hours, twirling your thumbs?
32343Stage boxes on the first tier?
32343Stage boxes?
32343Suppose we repeat the thing to- morrow?
32343That persuaded you?
32343The fault of whom?
32343The galleries and amphitheatre?
32343The open boxes on the ground floor?
32343Then why did not you ask for an audience? 32343 Third circle?"
32343To distrain? 32343 Upper circle?"
32343Vous ne savez pas?
32343Was it the idea of losing the magnificent fee?
32343Well, how much are you going to take off?
32343What are you doing, Monsieur Lapierre?
32343What are you doing?
32343What are you going to do with your son?
32343What are you sitting there for like that?
32343What are you standing there for, Giovanni?
32343What colour?
32343What do you mean?
32343What do you mean?
32343What do you think the King has done now?
32343What had he done with her?
32343What has become of him? 32343 What have you to say, monsieur?"
32343What induced you to do this, monsieur le comte?
32343What is it you want with me?
32343What made you give in at last?
32343What made you go away?
32343What will you play?
32343Where did you taste it?
32343Where is the box you had in your hand? 32343 Who do you think Augustus was?"
32343Why does n''t he come and see me? 32343 Why lamentations?"?
32343Why lamentations??
32343Why, did not your majesty himself notice yesterday that he was dying?
32343Why?
32343Will you allow me to return the compliment, sire?
32343Will you teach them?
32343Yes; why not?
32343You are angry with me, are you not? 32343 You have written a history of Cæsar?"
32343You really mean it, sire?
32343You refused to go and see the Empress, and you rush along to see the Queen?
32343Your name, citizen,he said, in a hectoring tone,"and what brings you to this house?"
32343[ 10]Am I not a good- natured woman?"
32343''But let us suppose the reverse-- that obstinacy means vocation: how long would it take him to prove that he has talent?''
32343''How can I dance here, in this road, monsieur?''
32343''Mademoiselle Clémentine?''
32343''Mademoiselle Taglioni?''
32343''Qui t''as fait duc?''
32343''What are you doing?''
32343''What do you mean?''
32343''What, in Heaven''s name, do you want at this unholy hour?''
32343''You?
32343And now,''he added,''what can I do for you, citoyen Gil- Pérès?
32343And who could say what might happen?
32343As it is, do you know what happens?
32343At the second, Villevailles, Dumas says,''Have you got twenty francs change?''
32343But what a hot fiery lot these Dyonnais are, are n''t they?"
32343But what was he to do, seeing that his attempt at introducing a new national hymn had utterly failed?
32343Can you personally vouch for its efficiency?"
32343Can you tell me what mischief is brewing?"
32343Could I do less than order a coat at the tailor''s, a pair of boots at the bootmaker''s?''
32343De quel côté serez vous, M. de Morny?"
32343Did not he once pay a visit to Jean- Jacques Rousseau without having apprised him of his call?
32343Did the latter lend enchantment to the view?
32343Do not you like it?''
32343Do you know what his ultimatum was when the marriage had been contracted, when there was no possibility of going back?
32343Do you know what was the result of this determination not to be unjust if others were?
32343Do you know why Jérôme did not fall in with my views and those of M. Thiers?
32343Does M. Thiers really think that he is a better or greater man than Abraham Lincoln, who treated the Southerns as belligerents, not as insurgents?"
32343For, curious to relate, M. de Lamartine ratified his appointment(?)
32343Guizot?"
32343Had not Alfred de Musset, the daring poet of"les grandes passions,"written a play entitled"Il ne faut jurer de rien"?
32343He seemed, as it were, to consult his recollections; then he said,"Is it?
32343I suppose a third or a fourth of the total amount will do for the present?"
32343I wonder whether you''d like to part with it, M. David?
32343If they are to have a dessert, what are we to give to honest women?"
32343Is it a wonder, then, that it rained summonses, and writs, and other law documents?
32343Is it not so, my wife?"
32343Is it possible?''
32343Is it surprising, then, that with such a prospect facing him, a man should risk death rather than become a pariah?
32343Le dîner était mauvais, vous dîtes?
32343N''y seriez vous jamais allé?"
32343Not once, but a score of times, have I heard Dumas ask, after this or that man had left the table,"Who is he?
32343Now, monsieur, will you tell this gentleman what you have in stock?"
32343One evening she said to me,"Do you know Poirson?"
32343Our friend said much more, notably with regard to rat and horseflesh; and then he wound up:"But what is the good?
32343Paul?"
32343Que l''on m''appelle ivrogne?"
32343So, where is the advantage?
32343The Emperor gave him his cue by asking,"What do the people say?"
32343The curtain rose upon the fourth act, and what did Meyerbeer behold?
32343Then what became of it?
32343There was no need for him to do so, because theoretically it redounded to the lady''s honour; had she not rejected his advances?
32343They say it is the fault of----""The fault of whom?"
32343To some one who once remarked upon this in my hearing, he answered,"Que voulez- vous?
32343Was I right in saying that the Prince was justified in believing in his star?"
32343Was it a performing nose, or one endowed with extraordinary powers of smell?
32343Was it suspicion, or what?
32343Were these events foreseen at the Tuileries as early as May?
32343What am I to do?
32343What did she want to go to Caen for just at the moment when I was about to be born?
32343What do the people say?"
32343What do you mean by such familiarity?"
32343What had happened meanwhile?
32343What had happened, then, during the twenty- four hours immediately following the telegram of M. Franceschini Pietri?
32343What is the next part of the house?"
32343What was it?
32343What was the magnificent pile to them, now that one of their idols had left it, probably for ever, and the other was about to do the same?
32343What was this colossal nose, with a ridiculously small head and body attached to it?
32343When the news of the prince''s death was brought to him, he said,"Are you sure he is dead?"
32343Whence this difference?
32343Whence this sudden change?
32343Whence would that army be recruited?
32343Where had she got the others from?
32343Whither?
32343Who would leave his child the inheritance of such slavery?
32343Why am I not a little better off?
32343Why should the Greeks have more reverence for Botzaris or Mavrocordato than they had for the poet?
32343Why should we be less courageous and less cheerful than they?"
32343Why were not the trees cut down and transported to Paris, for fuel for the coming winter?
32343Will you kindly supply my place-- that is, keep an eye upon him, and do the best you can for him?
32343Will you mind telling me his name?"
32343You will never forgive me?"
32343and if these three are so little to them, what must I be, whose name they probably never heard?
32343and what have you done with it?"
32343he exclaimed;''how did you come by it?''
32343or, better still,''Comment vas tu, mon vieux citoyen?''"
32343said Sophie, getting somewhat jealous of this praise of others;"at the Café de Paris?"
32343steeped in such crass ignorance as not to have had an inkling of all this?
32343was the cry;"are there sufficient for us all?"
32343what am I to do?
32343what am I, then?''
32343what did it contain?
32343what''s his name?"
32343À quand les invitations?"
38997''Is it possible that you have not heard what has happened to her?'' 38997 A quoi pensez- vous, Madame Trollope?"
38997An Irish republic? 38997 And I,"says another,--"is it of such as I and my cotemporary fellow- labourers in the vast field of new- ploughed speculation that you speak?"
38997And how old is she, this unhappy Mademoiselle Isabelle?
38997And in sufficient force, are they not, to keep Paris quiet if she should feel disposed to be frolicsome?
38997And that little odd- looking man in black,said I,"who is he?...
38997And that pretty woman in the corner?
38997And that, you think, would be accepted as a passport through any scene of treason and rebellion?
38997And what do you think of the troops?
38997And why?
38997And, I too,groans another,--"am I not famous?
38997Anything?--or nothing?
38997Are not those young ladies who have just finished their quadrille unmarried?
38997But are all the National Guards true?
38997But how can you help it? 38997 But how is this repose to be obtained?"
38997But such is your opinion?
38997But surely, being brought forward to dance in a waltz or quadrille, is not the sort of consequence which we either of us mean?
38997But what would your inference be as to the state of the country from such reports as these?
38997But when she is given to him, do you think this process more desirable than before?
38997Comment?--de la trahison?... 38997 Did you not say you had seen the review?"
38997Do you know--------?
38997Does the_ anything_ mean a revolution? 38997 Et quel est ce repos?
38997Et quel est donc ce repos? 38997 Have you heard l''Abbé Coeur?"
38997Have you read it?
38997I rejoice to hear this,said I:"but may I, as a matter of curiosity, ask you what you think about this famous trial?
38997Intéressante? 38997 Is there any interesting news to- day in any of the papers?"
38997Is this interval of calm likely to be followed by a storm?
38997Mais ne voyez- vous pas que l''eau tombe, messieurs?
38997Mais... que sais- je?... 38997 N''est- ce pas?
38997Ne sont- ce point là, mes frères, les paroles qui tombent chaque jour menaçantes de la chaire de l''Eglise Romaine?... 38997 Non, sans doute... vous dira le clergé romain, puisque Dieu a consacré le septième jour au repos?
38997Not enter?
38997Or----?
38997Or----?
38997Precise? 38997 Seen what?"
38997That is true; but do you not find that what you hear from one person is often contradicted by another?
38997The ostensible heroines?...
38997Then what can you do at last but judge by what you see?
38997Unmarried women?... 38997 Vous m''avez oublié donc?"
38997What call you reputation, woman?
38997What can be the difference, ma''am,said the poor body who told me this,"between us and Madame C---- in this illness?
38997What is there in a name?
38997What, then, becomes of them?
38997Where is the law, my good lady, that may control necessity?... 38997 Who is there can endure fire and flame for ever, for ever, and for ever?"
38997Whom can you have been listening to?
38997Will they do anything to assist it?
38997Will you then have the kindness to explain to me the difference in this respect between France and England?
38997You do not know M. de Châteaubriand?
38997... à présent il n''y a que cela au monde.... You read the journals?"
38997After she had run her tilt against authority, she broke off, exclaiming--"Mais, après tout,--what does it signify?...
38997An old noble-- page to Louis Seize-- a royalist soldier in La Vendée,--how could I think otherwise?
38997And how do they support this claim?
38997And might we not exclaim for her in all kindness--"Let but the cheat endure!--She asks not aught beside?"
38997And where is the living artist who could stand his ground against such cruel odds?
38997And you really have been fortunate enough to fall in with one of these_ enfans perdus_?
38997Apropos de quoi, s''il vous plaît?...
38997Are not my delicious tales of unschooled nature in the hands of every free- born youth and tender maid in this our regenerated Athens?
38997Are the execrations of the noble beings enslaved, imprisoned, tortured, trampled on by tyranny, a result?
38997But against this, it were a vain boast to add,"And for my soul, what can it do to that, Being a thing immortal as itself?"
38997But do you not think that the irritation produced by these preparations at the Luxembourg is of considerable extent and violence?"
38997But you will allow also that, however rare they may be in England, such records of scandal and of shame are rarer still in France?"
38997Can anything be imagined more tantalising than this?
38997Can the place where one comes to look for this be favourable for hanging our illustrious countryman''s representation of the same subject?
38997Could it be memory?
38997Depuis quand n''est- il plus permis à un roi de courtiser sur la scène une servante d''auberge?...
38997Did Greece ever show any combination of stones and mortar more graceful, more majestic than this?
38997Do I not receive yearly some hundreds of francs for my sublime familiarity with sin and misery?
38997Do they not group well together?
38997Do you know of any English ladies thus devoted to the study of the soul?"...
38997Do you think that the best smile of Louis le Grand could be worth this?
38997Do your countrymen think so?
38997Est- ce un malheur si grand que de cesser de vivre?
38997Have you not tried, and found you could make nothing of it?"
38997Have you seen it yet?"
38997How do you think it will end?"
38997I am no longer a true and loyal knight in your estimation... but something, perhaps, very like a rebel and a traitor?...
38997I believe my countenance expressed my astonishment; for the old gentleman smiled and said,"Do I frighten you with my revolutionary principles?"
38997If it cost too much to have a good new piece, would it not be better to have a good old one?
38997In England, if a woman is seen going through all the manoeuvres of the flirting exercise, from the first animating reception of the"How d''ye do?"
38997Is he not handsome?
38997Is it not so?"
38997Is it not that they declare themselves to be more true to nature?
38997Is it not wonderful what a difference twenty- one miles of salt- water can make in the ways and manners of people?
38997Is it thus that the Reform Bill, and all the other horrible Bills in its train, are to be interpreted?
38997Is not that your meaning?"
38997Is not this fame, infamous slanderer?"
38997Is not this fame?"
38997Is not this marvellous?
38997Is not this using the spur where the rein is most wanting?
38997Is not what is good for the poor, good for the rich too?"
38997Is she married, then?''
38997Is the burning indignation of millions of Frenchmen a result?
38997Is there anything in the world that can be fairly said to resemble the Gardens of the Tuileries?
38997Is there in any language a word that can raise so many shuddering sensations as"_ La Morgue_?"
38997It is for the justification and protection of the National Guard;--and are we not all National Guards?"
38997Mais c''est égal-- they are all very good friends again.... Now, tell me whom I shall introduce to you?"
38997Might we not say, that Thought and affliction, passion, death itself, They turn to favour and to prettiness?
38997N''aura- t- il à espérer aucun adoucissement à ses peines?...
38997Now you understand it?...
38997O, what could be the fleeting visions formed that worked her fancy thus?
38997Oh, by the way, that is a peer that you are looking at now;--he has refused to sit on the trial.... Now, have I not done_ l''impossible_ for you?"
38997Or was it none of this, but a mere meaningless movement of the muscles, that worked in idle mockery of the intellect that used to govern them?
38997Or was the fitful emotion caused by the galloping vagaries of an imagination which outstripped the power of reason to follow it?
38997Où suis- je?
38997Que peut être le motif d''une pareille mesure?...
38997Qui est- ce qui veut les nier?...
38997Shall we ever experience this?
38997Tell me truly, is there any chance of a riot?"
38997The important question of"What colours shall we mix?"
38997The weather is so fine now, you know.... And the opera?
38997They are yet to come, but come they will; and when they do, think you that the next revolution will be one of three days?
38997They did make you master-- they have had their holiday, and now....""And now..."said I,"what will come next?"
38997Was it cannon?...
38997Was it possible to doubt that the paper in his hand was"Le Journal des Débats?"
38997What do you call result, madam?
38997What is it you mean?
38997Whence comes this change?
38997Where could be found a lesson so striking as this to a people who are weary of being governed, and desire, one and all, to govern themselves?
38997Where do all the externals of happiness meet the eye so readily?--or where can the heavy spirit so easily be roused to seek and find enjoyment?
38997Which of the most accomplished Hellenists of either country would be found capable of sustaining a familiar conversation in Greek?
38997While they remained there, a royal carriage passed, and one of the party said--"It is the queen, I believe?"
38997Who can wonder at his madness?
38997Why can no arms move with the same beautiful and easy elegance?
38997Why is it that none of the young heads can learn to turn like hers?
38997Why might not our National Gallery have risen as noble, as simple, as beautiful as this?
38997Why should the lowest passions of our nature be for ever brought out in parade before us?
38997Why should we make a pastime of looking upon vulgar vice?
38997Will you hear it, Madame B...?"
38997Would it be a pun to say that there is poetical justice in this?
38997You think, then,"she continued,"that our young married women are made of too much importance among us?"
38997Your orders precise to refuse me?"
38997and are not my works read by''Young France''with ecstasy?
38997cries one;"have not I achieved a reputation?
38997does Europe think so?
38997qu''est- ce que cela fait?
38997que puis- je au milieu de ce peuple abattu?
38997que t''a- t- on fait?
38997said he coaxingly,"will you let me tell you a little word of treason?"
38997says a third:"do not the theatres overflow when I send murder, lust, and incest on the stage, to witch the world with wondrous wickedness?"
38997was it possible to believe that this man was other than a prosperous doctrinaire?
8998Does that bird come from China, my dear?
8998In what part of the_ château_ were you, Jean,said I,"when these balls were aimed at the windows?"
8998Is he gone to rest? 8998 What''s your business, citizen?"
8998When will men in power know how to disdain equally the interested encomiums of intriguing flatterers and the satires produced by hunger? 8998 Whence proceeds the decree of proscription?
8998Who can not but be fond of having recourse to a flame so subservient? 8998 Why can not the French government partly adopt this indifference?
8998''What''s the matter, sir?''
8998--"And does not the king,"continued Henry,"intend to lighten these taxes?"
8998--"And how am I to give it to him?"
8998--"And how did you contrive to escape,"said I?
8998--"The_ poissardes_,"added I,"set no bounds to their cruelty?"
8998--"What is God?"
8998--"What is duration?"
8998--"What is eternity?"
8998--"What is friendship?"
8998--"What is gratitude?"
8998--"What is happiness?"
8998--"What the devil does this mean?"
8998----''What has he done?''
8998----''_Moi, Monsieur_?''
8998And must a painful remembrance come to interrupt a recital which ought to recall cheerful ideas only?
8998And whence came most of these generals who have shewn this inspiration, if I may so term it?
8998And, indeed, how could they answer the most trifling question?
8998Are you an epicure?
8998Boileau has said,"_ Aimez- vous la muscade?
8998But the parties interested should abstain from pronouncing; for where then would be the proportion between the punishment and the crime?
8998But to what degree are these unfortunates deaf, and why are they dumb?
8998But what can compensate for the absence of the tide?
8998But what could the feeble remonstrances of the old against the warm applause of the young?
8998But what have these_ would- be_ republicans to allege as an excuse in their favour?
8998But what more horrid than the reverse, that is, two beings cursing the fatal hour which brought them together in wedlock?
8998But why meddle with the cold remains of any great genius?
8998Endeavours are made by the government to repair the mischief by forming pupils; but how are they to be formed without good masters or good models?
8998Have they been to blame in refusing?
8998He is asked,"What is Time?"
8998He went up and said to him with eagerness:"Where''s the king?"
8998How can he, in fact, contemplate these different flags, without regretting the torrents of blood which they have cost his fellow- creatures?
8998How happens it that, in all countries on the continent, ladies flock to these odious spectacles?
8998How then could it be dispensed with?
8998In fact, what can well be more tiresome than a place where you find persons masked, without wit or humour?
8998In general, they are coquetish; but, without coquetry, would they be deemed qualified for their employment?
8998Instead of copying the French in objects of fickleness and frivolity, why not borrow from them what is really deserving of imitation?
8998Is it not astonishing that the government should suffer, still more promote the existence of an evil so pernicious in every point of view?
8998Is it to gratify an excess of national vanity, or create a superior degree of admiration in the mind of foreigners?
8998Is then a mixture of horror and ridicule one of the characteristics of the revolution?
8998No delicacy of the table but may be eaten in Paris.--Are you a toper?
8998No delicious wine but may be drunk, in Paris.--Are you fond of frequenting places of public entertainment?
8998No description of female beauty but may be obtained in Paris.--Are you partial to the society of men of extraordinary talents?
8998No great genius but comes to display his knowledge in Paris.--Are you inclined to discuss military topics?
8998No kind of instruction but may be acquired in Paris.--Are you an admirer of the fair sex?
8998No sort of spectacle but may be seen in Paris.--Are you desirous of improving your mind?
8998On my asking M. HAÜY, whether he would not retire, as it was intended he should, on his pension?
8998On the first experiments being made of it, some one asked him:"Of what use are balloons?"
8998Qui veut boire?_"here take their stand as they used, though not in such numbers.
8998This is commonly nothing more than the fruit of anonymous and envenomed revenge: for what are the secret intrigues of courts to any man of letters?
8998We scarcely dare say,_ we have read it_:''tis the scum of low literature, and what is there without its scum?
8998What are their crimes?
8998What are we doing in England?]
8998What can well surpass an example of this kind mentioned by a celebrated French writer?
8998What else but thou Giv''st safety, strength, and glory to a people?"
8998What establishment then can be more convenient than that of a_ restaurateur_?
8998What greater proof can be adduced of the vitiated taste of the male part of the audience?
8998What is their number?
8998What other city in Europe can boast of such an assemblage of accommodation?
8998What should it be but a subpoena for a divorce?
8998What strange fatality impels men to persevere in such unprofitable erections?
8998What then can be said of a work in which they are all united?
8998What then would be the admiration of such an_ amateur_, could he now behold the perfection attained here by some of the beauties of the present day?
8998What was to be done?
8998What will not gallantry suggest to a man of fashionable education?
8998What, in fact, can be more liberal than this gratuitous diffusion of knowledge?
8998Who are its occupiers?
8998Who can accurately determine the best means for bringing the good to overbalance the evil?
8998Who can fairly estimate the extent of the mischief which they produce, or of that which they obviate?
8998Who has not heard the lay which records the defeat of Tourville?
8998Who therefore need travel farther than Paris to enjoy every gratification?
8998Why does not the British government follow an example so justly deserving of imitation?
8998Why else should apples of irresistible ripeness and beauty have presented themselves to the eye of our first parents in the garden of Eden?
8998Why then are not theatrical representations here so regulated, that the stage may conduce to the amelioration of morals?
8998Will it remove his prejudices and errors?
8998Will the contemplation of them render him more wise, more temperate, more liberal in his ideas?
8998You will stare when I tell you to fill up the blank with the name of her who is now become the first female personage in France?
8998exclaimed I again,"what, is a counterrevolution at hand, that the_ Fête des Rois_ must also be celebrated?"
8998rejoined he;"who then shall I get to love me?"
8998said ROBESPIERRE to him,"do you dare to drink these poisoned brandies?"
8998says another to him--"It is a day without yesterday, or to- morrow,"replies the pupil.--"What is a sense?"
8998you have made very fine and majestic laws; but would you have divined these?
39710And in what manner does this activity of intellect interfere to impede the course of justice?
39710And what is the effect which this strangely assumed power has produced on your administration of justice?
39710And what is the recompense which you would propose, sir?
39710And your jurymen, according to a phrase of contempt common among us, are in fact judge and jury both?
39710Are you not gênés,said he,"by my being here to listen to all that you and yours may be disposed to say of us and ours?...
39710Are you prepared to be very much enchanted by what you are going to hear?
39710Because we are virtuous, shall there be no more cakes and ale?
39710But I presume you do not yourself subscribe to the sentence pronounced by these young critics?
39710But the single ladies no longer young?
39710But what right have they to doubt it?... 39710 Can not Alexa go too, mamma?"
39710Can you not tell me something of her character?
39710Certainly I do, sir,I replied:"how can I interpret it otherwise?"
39710Combien de temps vous faut- il pour vous préparer? 39710 Did you dine much in private society?"
39710Did you ever see anything like the fashion which this man has obtained?
39710Do you consider their appearing here a proof that they are religious?
39710Does public opinion sanction this strange abuse of the functions of jurymen?
39710Have I not told you?... 39710 Have you never met her before?
39710Have you read the works of the_ young men_ of France?
39710I presume,said I,"that Madame de C*** is not the only person towards whom this remarkable species of tolerance is exercised?"
39710I will tell you of what you all remind me at this moment,said he, reseating himself:"Did you ever see or read''Le Médecin malgré Lui''?"
39710Il eut la bonté de me lire les sommaires des chapitres-- Lequel choisir, lequel préférer? 39710 In what respect?"
39710Invariably?
39710Is it possible that the escape of a bird can have brought all these people together?
39710Is it possible you can really think so, my dear sir?
39710Is it since your last revolution,said I,"that the punishment of death has been commuted for that of imprisonment and labour?"
39710Is that all?
39710Is this the use your French romancers make of letters?
39710Non?... 39710 Où?
39710Pensez- vous Qu''Arthur voulût revoir Mademoiselle de Sommery?
39710Prête à quoi? 39710 Que puis- je dire maintenant de ces Mémoires?"
39710Quel poison? 39710 Voulez vous, madame?
39710Vous savez qui je suis? 39710 Well?"
39710What did happen to him?
39710What did we fight for?
39710What is this, Betty?
39710Who is that very elegant- looking woman?
39710Will you do me the favour to let me copy this receipt?
39710You are astonished at seeing her here? 39710 You are in earnest?"
39710You have, I think, no national cuisine?
39710... did you not see that?...
39710... is not this too hard?"
39710... le grand opéra?
39710... might one not fancy oneself at a première représentation?"
39710... said he, pointing to the tombs within the enclosure:"was it not to make France and Frenchmen free?...
39710Alexa dear, what will you do without us?"
39710And do they call it freedom to be locked up in a prison... actually locked up?...
39710And is it possible that such a mind as hers can be insensible to the glory of enchanting the best and purest spirits in the world?...
39710And what has been the result of all this?
39710And what was the piece, can you guess, which produced this effect upon us?...
39710Au lieu de demander où elle est, ne devrait- on pas demander où n''est- elle pas?
39710But must I write to you in sober earnest about this comic tragedy?
39710But what can not zealous kindness effect?
39710But when did ever the surface of human affairs present an aspect so full of interest?
39710Can I better keep the promise I gave you yesterday than by writing you a letter of and concerning le grand opéra?
39710Can we fairly doubt that, in many cases where we consider ourselves as perfectly well- informed, we may be quite as much in the dark respecting them?
39710Can we wonder that feelings, and even principles, are found to bend before an influence so salutary and so strong?
39710Can we wonder that the Morgue is seldom untenanted?...
39710Can you wonder that I was delighted?
39710Do they not seem an echo to the sound she describes?
39710En avez- vous eu une, vous?...
39710Est- ce qu''il y a quelque mouvement?"
39710Est- ce que c''est coupable tout ce que je dis là de lui?
39710Et savez- vous ce que c''est que Venise?...
39710Gaillardet et***** have brought together?
39710Has the dialogue either dignity, spirit, or truth of nature to recommend it?
39710Have you got Bernardin de Saint Pierre, ma chère?"
39710His first remark after we were placed at table was,--"You do not, I think, use table- napkins in England;--do you not find them rather embarrassing?"
39710How can you expect such blind confidence from me?"
39710How can you get away?
39710How is it possible to find or invent any device that can save you from enduring to the end?
39710I confess that I envy them their beautiful giraffe; but what else have they which we can not equal?
39710I fancied that I misunderstood him, and repeated his words,--"With the jury?"
39710Is it not wonderful that the Emperor of Constantinople could consent to part with such precious treasures for the lucre of gain?
39710Is it possible to conceive affected sublimity and genuine nonsense carried farther than this?
39710Is it to the Convention, or to the Directory?--Is it to their mimicry of Roman Consulships?
39710Is there a single sentiment throughout the five acts with which an honest man can accord?
39710Is there anything in the world so perfectly French as this?
39710Is there even an approach to grace or beauty in the_ tableaux_?
39710Is there, in truth, any picture much less new than that of a gondola, with a guitar in it, gliding along the canals of Venice?
39710Is this possible?...
39710Is this tact?
39710Justice encore rendu, que ne t''a- t- on?
39710Le monde nous demande de belles peintures-- où en seraient les types?
39710Ma mère fut saisie sur- le- champ-- elle ne dit rien... a quoi bon?
39710Mais que voulez- vous?
39710My voice may well falter-- unknown is my name, But say, must my accents prove therefore in vain?
39710My words, I think, were,--"Pourriez- vous me dire, madame, ce que signifie tout ce monde?...
39710Ne le croyez pas; c''est la mienne qu''il vous faut...""Et vous, monsieur-- c''est un cheval qui vous manque, n''est- ce pas?
39710Non, n''est- ce pas?"
39710Or is it knowledge,--real, genuine, substantial information respecting all things?
39710Quand donc au corps qu''académique on nomme, Grimperas- tu de roc en roc, rare homme?"
39710Que veux- tu que je te dise?
39710Query-- Do not the Germans furnish something very like this juste milieu?
39710Savez- vous ce que c''est que d''avoir une mère?
39710Shall I have the amiability to depart?"
39710Shall I tell you how it has been done in Paris?
39710Slaves have got chains on... qu''est- ce que cela fait?...
39710Suis- je un hors- d''oeuvre, un inutile article, Une cinquième roue ajoutée au tricycle?"
39710Surely he would hardly be permitted to preach at Notre Dame, where the archbishop himself sits in judgment on him, were he otherwise than orthodox?"
39710Tell me-- is there not some truth in this idea?"
39710Then Rodolpho says to Catarina,"Par qui as- tu été sauvée?"
39710This is a strange statement, is it not?
39710Treason and rapine, of course, if time be ripe for it-- but_ en attendant_?
39710Trouves- tu cela bien arrangé ainsi?"
39710What can be said in defence of such an act?...
39710What is there which men, and most especially Frenchmen, will not suffer and endure to hear that note?
39710What may it be?...
39710What would Saintfoix say to the notion that Victor Hugo had"heaved the ground from beneath the feet of Corneille and Racine"?
39710What would become of all the parties for amusement which take place morning, noon, and night in Paris, if this race were extinct?
39710What would the LIBERALS of Europe have said of King Louis- Philippe, had he acted upon this republican principle?
39710Where is the retreat that can be secured from it?
39710Why trembled the tear- drop so oft in mine eye?
39710Why, what would you do for an old nurse?"
39710With cheeks burning from steam and vexation, can you plead a sudden faintness?
39710a- t- il raison, ce Bernardin?"
39710and if it be not, what follows?...
39710c''est la première idée qui vous vient?"
39710can a slave be worse than that?
39710can you love me?"
39710huchera- t- on ton nom?
39710or has his restless star to rise again?
39710or skill in the arrangement of the scenes?
39710or that I have thought the occurrence worth dwelling upon with some degree of lingering fondness?
39710or, in short, any one merit to recommend it-- except only its superlative defiance of common decency and common sense?
39710said I:"what is it that you suppose was out of the common way?"
39710she continued;--"forgive me... but is it really supposed that they pass their entire lives without any indiscretion at all?"
39710she repeated with a very speaking smile:"est- ce que madame est effrayée?...
39710she repeated, laughing;"then you really find nothing extraordinary in this proceeding-- nothing out of the common way?"
39710why was my bosom with sorrow oppress''d?
39710y a- t- il une autre bête comme la mienne?..."
21498Pray why?
21498What is the use of that?
21498''And, pray, why not?''
21498''Are they Boulangists, or do they simply dislike Carnot?''
21498''Are you speaking seriously?''
21498''But how is it with the royalists?''
21498''But if this is the way in which they look at things, why do they clamour for Boulanger?''
21498''But the President is going on to Boulogne, is he not?''
21498''Did all this give the man any right to destroy and carry away a costly piece of artistic work, the property of the city?''
21498''Did he like this?''
21498''Do you know Lens?
21498''Do you remember,''he went on,''how Ferry went to Rome after his expulsion from power?
21498''Do you speak for the Government?''
21498''For having trouble with the Christian Brothers?''
21498''Had there been any disturbances anywhere?''
21498''He is beginning to stand out against the horizon, is he not?''
21498''How did he take it?
21498''How do you find the plan work?''
21498''How many years ago was it,''I asked,''when this Congregation began its work in the United States?''
21498''If there are many?
21498''Is it possible,''he said,''to mistake either the spirit or the object of such a law?
21498''Is not this charming?
21498''Is that legend of grandfather Carnot very strong in this region?''
21498''It is pleasanter, do n''t you think?''
21498''May I ask,''I replied,''what can possibly have given you such an impression as this?''
21498''More so than his nephew the Comte de Paris?''
21498''Perhaps it was not a bad thing for us,''he said,''that the Mexicans shot their first Emperor-- but was it a good thing for them?''
21498''President?
21498''That is to say,''I asked,''the law officer of the department?
21498''That journal, Monsieur?''
21498''That weighs more than a napoleon,''she said;''and who is the young lady?
21498''The other generals are not very fond of him, you say?
21498''Then they want war with Germany?''
21498''Then you would prefer to organise a pension fund in your syndical chamber?
21498''Ulysses bewailing the departure of Calypso is charming, is it not?''
21498''Was M. Grévy, then, popular with them?''
21498''Were there many people of Figaro''s mind in Laon and in the Department?''
21498''What has come of all that fury and folly?''
21498''What is the feeling of the people here on this question of clerical teaching?''
21498''What is the matter with the people here?''
21498''What legend had Bonaparte when Barras put him at the head of the home army, and Pétiet sent him to Italy?
21498''What right had they to do this?''
21498''What sort of a newspaper is this?''
21498''What then happened?''
21498''What would you think?''
21498''Where did all this money come from?''
21498''Why do you feel sure of this?''
21498''You want to see your War Minister made president, then?''
21498''[ 2] St.-Omer, then, not having been besieged in 1710, why should a statue be set up in honour of an Audomaraise dame for delivering it?
21498''_ Dame_, Monsieur,''she said to me,''if M. Boulanger is not the best General in France, why did they make him Minister of War?
21498= Archer.=--_MASKS OR FACES?_ A Study in the Psychology of Acting.
21498A project of a law to relieve the co- operative idea from the crushing weight of the Imperial law of 1867?
21498And doubtless you know what efforts he made there at that time to bring about a subterranean understanding between himself and the Vatican?''
21498And how did he become a Deputy?
21498And if not in the case of Artois, why in the case of any other French province?
21498And on what scale do you do this sort of thing?''
21498And this studious Committee eventually evolved-- what?
21498And to what use?
21498And what other end but Nihilism can there be of your"neutral"obligatory schools and your atheistic laws?
21498And whom had the elective principle put into his place, under the pressure of irreconcilable personal rivalries, and of a threatened popular outbreak?
21498And why should anybody in or out of France celebrate them?
21498Are they not paganizing the country?
21498Are they not trying to make a"great Frenchman"now of Carnot?
21498As for the eventual results, what mattered these to them?
21498Ask men to give you their votes, and what authority will be left to you?
21498But has the modern and scientific way of looking at the relations of capital and labour, so far, been what may be called a great success?
21498But he did not show you the correspondence about it between the bishop and this charlatan of twopenny Atheism?
21498But how is a workman in such circumstances to call upon the laws?
21498But how is anybody to fix and celebrate the''centennial''of a set of notions called''the principles of 1789''?
21498But in what way?
21498But really is it not grotesque to see such cotton- velvet senators as this mayor of Amiens going about to decide questions of fidelity to public duty?
21498But was there no pretence of constitutional authority for the passage of this law which you so strongly denounce?''
21498But what are the reasonable demands of Labour?
21498But, the window being barred, what should restrain him from walking rationally out of the doorway?
21498Can anybody fail to see what this means?
21498Can there be any mistake as to the meaning of this?
21498Can you ask for a more flagrant illustration of the state to which this Republic is bringing our public services?
21498Could labour reasonably demand more than this of capital?
21498Could such a law possibly have been passed in your republic?''
21498Did he ever earn 250,000 francs in his life?
21498Did the French Government intend to invite the monarchies of Europe to celebrate the destruction by a mob of the Bastille on July 14, 1789?
21498Do we seem to be in the way of organizing a solid modern society on the principles of the"struggle for life"and of the"survival of the fittest"?
21498Do you imagine that Christianity, if it be your enemy, is an enemy as terrible as Nihilism?
21498Do you know Bapaume?
21498Do you see that high chimney across the road some way off among the trees?
21498Do you wonder I am a pessimist?''
21498Do you wonder that thoughtful men look with horror on the current which is carrying us in such a direction as that?
21498Does not that take us a long way on towards savage life?
21498Does not the best old inn in the comfortable town of Châlons- sur- Marne to this day bear the name of''La Haute Mère de Dieu''?
21498Does that mean that the Carnots are of this country?''
21498For upon what does human society rest in the last resort if not upon the two great pillars of the rule of St. Benedict-- Obedience and Labour?
21498Furthermore, what sort of a republic is it in which a family of princes can not live without tempting the whole population to make one of them king?
21498Had I not seen the votes, the credits given to the Ministers for entertaining?
21498Has he not shown more firmness than people expected of him when this Boulangist business began?''
21498Have they been intelligently adopted and loyally carried out in that distracted country to- day?
21498He took it upon himself to issue a decree-- instituting what?
21498How can France hope to find liberty within her own borders, or peace with honour abroad, under the domination of such men?
21498How can an independent Executive ever be restored in France excepting in the person of Philippe VII.?
21498How can you ask me to forget that?''
21498How is he to face the organised hostility of men of his own class?
21498How is he to meet the legal cost of defending his rights?
21498How is that to be brought about without endangering the success of the enterprises?
21498How many are they?
21498How many young women applied?
21498I had surely heard of that?''
21498I should be glad to know what''employer''ever devised a more shameless plan than this for reducing workmen to slavery, moral and financial?
21498If General Boulanger for their own sake could not be allowed to represent them, why not M. Cercueil?
21498If they succeed in unmaking their legend of Boulanger, where are they?
21498Is it France alone which is thus threatened?
21498Is it not avowedly because they think this will stop the recruiting for the ranks of the clergy?
21498Is it not because the French magistrates stand between them and the rights of the French clergy as French citizens?
21498Is it not clear that, in losing the notion of duty to his employer, the workman has necessarily lost the idea also of duty to his fellow- workmen?
21498Is it possible that in the actual condition of France and of Europe such a system as this should last?
21498Is it transparent, that?
21498Is it"clericalism"which is stirring up Labour against Capital?
21498Is it"clericalism"which is transforming your literature into ribaldry and your theatres into brothels?
21498Is it"clericalism"which manufactures dynamite and blows up houses?
21498Is it"clericalism"which preaches and supports"strikes"?
21498Is it"clericalism"which shuts up your schools?
21498Is it"clericalism"which transforms all the actions and relations of life into matters of contract and of calculation?
21498Is not that liberty?
21498Is not this plain?
21498Is not universal suffrage a natural and easy weapon of capital in any"struggle for life"with labour?
21498Is that liberty I ask you?''
21498Is there any respect for equal rights-- for the rule of the majority, for freedom of conscience in such proceedings?
21498Is this a confirmation, I wonder, of the theory entertained by Mr. Emerson and other philosophers, that woman is not a''clubbable''animal?
21498It is not the Pucelle who would have put them out, do you think?
21498Jefferson had sense enough to decline the invitation; but what gleam of sense, political or other, had the blundering tinkers who gave it?

21498My son when he gets his stripes is to marry-- she is a very nice girl, an only child, do you know?
21498No?
21498Of all which let us say with Mr. Carlyle,''What should Falsehood do but decease, being ripe, decompose itself, and return to the Father of it?''
21498Of course the Chamber eagerly adopted it?
21498Of how many towns of twenty thousand inhabitants could the same thing be truly said in England or the United States?
21498Or the Convocation of the States- General at Versailles on May 5, 1789?
21498So-- what does he care?
21498Strike out of the theory of representative institutions the right divine of the people to choose the wrong men, and what is left of it?
21498The Comte de Chassepot told you the story, did he not, of the Calvary in the cemetery of the Madeleine?
21498This being her character, what did she do?
21498To what will the''civic duties''of man bring France, and, with France, the civilization of Christendom, in 1892?
21498Was I not right?
21498Was it natural?
21498Was it not my duty to see no favouritism shown to one commune at the expense of another?''
21498Was the new republic hailed with enthusiasm?
21498What Sister could resist such an appeal?
21498What are the''principles of 1789''?
21498What did it mean?
21498What did that signify?
21498What do you say to that?''
21498What followed?
21498What good has their exile done to Eu?
21498What harm did the Sisters do there?
21498What has been the result?
21498What is the difference in principle between such a declaration as this and the attempt of the third Napoleon to establish an empire in Mexico by arms?
21498What is the ordinary proportion between the house- rent and the income of a respectable tradesman or mechanic in New York?
21498What is the result?
21498What is the sanction of the measures ordered by such syndicates excepting the fear in which every member goes of his fellow- members?
21498What is to become of the 730 unsuccessful competitors?
21498What more and what less than this is there in the history of Alfred the Great?
21498What really happened?
21498What was to be done?
21498What we want is a man; where are we to find him?''
21498What will become of them?
21498What would the Egyptians, who paid their tribute in glass to Rome, have thought of a serious order to pave the Via Sacra with blocks of purple glass?
21498What would then become of M. Doumer?
21498What, in such a case, would become of a French President?
21498Where are they to find the balloon?
21498Where else can the country bring up?
21498Who actually fills that most important post?
21498Who knows how long he will be President?
21498Why are they attacking the foundations of the magistracy?
21498Why do they wish to force the seminarists into the service?
21498Why not?
21498Why should he be brought into the business?''
21498Why should not Anzin set up a statue of Pierre Mathieu?
21498Why should''horrors''have been committed at Arras in 1789?
21498Why?

21498Why?
21498Why?
21498Will France be a nobler and stronger country when the priests who train the children of her peasantry into this spirit are driven out of the land?
21498With Brother Allain- Targé as Prefect, what could be easier?
21498With such men as this in the French Senate do you wonder the country laughs at senatorial courts of justice?
21498With these short leases what can be done for the land?"
21498Would I object to their dining with me-- there was no other good room?''
21498Would not England necessarily stand by France in such a proposal?
21498Would you trust him with your pocket- book?
21498Yes?
21498Yet what did he say in 1888?
21498You can find the bottom of it if you keep on long enough-- and then?
21498You have seen, of course, his_ Catéchisme du Patron_?''
21498You saw at Chauny the building of the local journal there,_ La Défense Nationale_''?

21498broke in M. de Mortillet;''pray, what is God?''
21498but what of that?
21498he replied with a kind of''sniff'':''that leaf?
21498he replied,''I do n''t think they care much about Boulanger, and why should they dislike Carnot?
21498he replied,''in those days what did they know about good wine?''
21498he said scornfully;''why should it be?
21498he said,"it is money out of pocket, and for what?
21498he said;''how can a sensible man think of such a thing?
21498liberty for all?''
21498no value of his own?
21498what does that signify?
14300Am I a dog to be beaten to death in the street? 14300 And who will command, if you go?"
14300Are we to talk about fashion, at such a time?
14300Do you think it will take us to the English coast? 14300 How could I divorce this good wife,"he said to Roederer,"because I am becoming great?"
14300How smile, sir?
14300In what capacity?
14300Is there, then, no means to enlighten Napoleon as to his true situation, or to save him if he persists in destroying himself? 14300 Sire, what are you coming here for?
14300What are your plans for giving water to Paris?
14300What did you mean to do with that knife?
14300What is the wind?
14300What will become of us,asked the Czar,"if Napoleon accepts your mediation?"
14300Why do you wish to kill me?
14300Would you thank me if I pardoned you?

14300After this, how could hero- worship subsist?
14300Against whom these measures of precaution?
14300All his features, particularly his mouth and nose, fine, sharp, defined, and expressive beyond description; expressive of what?
14300Am I to make them?"
14300And for what?
14300And how came it that Napoleon and Ney missed this golden opportunity?
14300And if he longed for repose, would the Opposition in England and the malcontents in France have let him rest?
14300And their chief, why did he not share their glorious fate?
14300And what more can be said on behalf of a ruler at the end of a bloody revolution?
14300And what of Napoleon, in part the product and in part the cause, of this strange reaction?
14300And where is Schwarzenberg?
14300And where, we may ask, could a less unpleasant place of detention have been found?
14300And who has ever borne a heavier burden?
14300And would it end as long as Napoleon saw any chance of snatching a temporary success?
14300And would not the hopes of national freedom and of emancipation from feudal imposts fire these peoples with zeal for the French cause?
14300And, if so, did the men of 1789 follow them by practical methods?
14300Are my murderers sacred beings?
14300Are you going mad at Paris?"
14300As a retort to the tongue- fencers, what could be better?
14300At once he rode up to the First Consul; and if vague rumours may be credited, he was met by the eager question:"Well, what do you think of it?"
14300At the close of January, 1808, he wrote to Junot asking him:"If unexpected events occurred in Spain, what would you fear from the Spanish troops?
14300Besides, if she had to traverse other States to come to him, would she ever do so?
14300Besides, what do they mean with their fatalism?
14300But how came he to receive the military authority which was so potently to influence the course of events?
14300But how can Prussians be there in force?
14300But how treat with England, who wishes to bind me not to build more than thirty ships of the line in my ports?
14300But is he not tormented by all the daggers of the furies?"
14300But of what avail are private remonstrances when in open session opponents are dumb and supporters vie in adulation?
14300But on what ground?
14300But to Ney''s request for more troops he returned the petulant answer:"Troops?
14300But what did he presume that the allied forces in Bohemia would be doing while he overwhelmed Blücher in Silesia?
14300But what have divine laws to do with a purely human affair?
14300But what responsible person could trust his words after Elba, where he repeatedly told Campbell that he had done with the world and was a dead man?]
14300But what shall we say of his sense of imperial diplomacy?
14300But what were these against the trained host of more than 100,000 men now marching against the feeble barriers on the north and east?
14300But who could work it?
14300But why?
14300But would he have ignored them, had he been in Bathurst''s place?]
14300But would not this encouragement embolden the Emperor to crush the contumacious Chambers?
14300But you, sir, he did not know you even by sight: then, why this great devotion of yours?''
14300Can this be called evidence?]
14300Could the man who had bartered away Venetia and seized Malta and Egypt be fitly looked upon as the sacred''r peacemaker?
14300Could the man, who had been wellnigh murdered by the rabble of Avignon and Orgon, hope to march in peace through that royalist province?
14300Could you easily rid yourself of them?
14300Did Bonaparte originate the plan of attack?
14300Did Napoleon foresee a similar result?
14300Did his past power in Italy and Egypt warrant the belief that he would abandon the peninsula and the new colony?
14300Did that example inspire the French Emperor, or did he take counsel from his own boundless resources of brain and will?
14300Did the Pitt Ministry intend to betray the confidence of the French royalists and keep Toulon for England?
14300Did these words induce the Prussians to accept battle at Ligny?
14300Do not all his references to his star occur in proclamations and addresses intended for popular consumption?
14300Do you know the prime cause of the fall of the Bourbons?
14300Finally,"he asked,"why should not the mistress of the seas and the mistress of the land come to an arrangement and govern the world?"
14300For the conquest of Constantinople or of India?
14300For the exercise of all these gifts what land was so fitted as the mosaic of States which was dignified with the name of Italy?
14300For the rest, is it credible that this analyzing genius could ever have seriously adopted the astrologer''s creed?
14300For what did Austria demand of him?
14300For what had he gained?
14300For what was his position at this time?
14300Had Metternich the full assent of those Governments when he offered the French Emperor the natural frontiers?
14300Has he irrevocably staked his own and his son''s fate on the last cannon?"
14300Have we not destroyed the Knights of Malta, because those fools believed it to be God''s will to war against Moslems?"
14300Have you despatched a courier with my final determination?''
14300Her woman''s wit flew to the utterance:"May I consider it a token of friendship, and that you grant my request for Magdeburg?"
14300How came he to outgrow the insular patriotism of his early years?
14300How can we between July 5th and 20th end a negotiation which ought to embrace the whole world?"
14300How could Blücher hope for help from forces so weak and scattered?
14300How could he face the Opposition, already wellnigh triumphant in the sad Melville business, with a King''s Speech in which this was the chief news?
14300How could he keep the Austrians quiet while envoys passed between Turin and Paris?
14300How is this to be accounted for?
14300How should the brain of the body politic, that is, the Legislature, be connected with the hand, that is, the Executive?
14300If the plague of rats was really very bad, why is it that Gourgaud made so little of it?]
14300If the populace had not as yet declared for the Bourbons, who could wonder at that, when the allies persisted in negotiating with Napoleon?
14300In that bargaining and burglarious age, was it not better to build a more lasting habitation than this venerable ruin?
14300In that case, would not Austria make peace, and leave Alexander and Blücher at his mercy?
14300In this war he must not only conquer armies, he must win over public opinion; and how could he gain it so well as in the guise of a popular liberator?
14300Is it credible that the Guards, less than 4,000 strong, should have spread their attacks over a quarter of a mile of front?
14300Is not Blücher resting on the banks of the Aisne?
14300Is there anything in his early note- books or later correspondence which warrants such a belief?
14300It is difficult to reconcile all this with the attack in hollow squares; but probably the squares( or oblongs?)
14300May not the words"domiciled"and"employed"have aroused Lowe''s suspicions of Balcombe and O''Meara?
14300Might not such an impulse be imparted by the French Revolution?
14300Moreover, if this were the object, why was not the flank move of the French cavalry above Lodi pushed home earlier in the fight?
14300On the whole, was there ever an odder company of shipmates since the days of Noah?
14300Or did he merely carry out orders as a subordinate?
14300Or did he throw his weight and influence into a scheme that others beside him had designed?
14300Or did the hope of striking a blow for Corsica stay his suicidal hand?
14300Or if he had gone to the United States, who would have competed with him for the Presidency?
14300Or was it a passing flash of that religious sentiment which he professed in his declining years?
14300Or were they imposed in order to insult the great man?
14300Or, if he must have Norway, would not Denmark give her assent if she received Swedish Pomerania and Lübeck?
14300Poor Gourgaud,_ qu''allais- tu faire dans cette galère_?
14300Réal''s first words, on hearing this unexpected news, were:"How is that possible?
14300Soldiers of the Army of Italy, will you lack courage?"
14300The Emperor came up to me as I stood in the circle, and in a low voice said:''Have you written to your Court?
14300The Government counted for little or nothing; for was it not the symbol of the detested foreign rule?
14300The allies can not long act together on lines so extended, and can I not reasonably hope sooner or later to catch them in some false move?
14300The world had rejected his gospel of force; but would it not thrill responsive to the gospel of pity now to be enlisted in his behalf?
14300Then he burst out:"Could I have expected that from Dupont, a man whom I loved, and was rearing up to become a Marshal?
14300To mix with Kings in the low lust of sway, Yell in the hunt and join the murderous prey?
14300To what are we to attribute this change of front?
14300Touching the Minister on the shoulder, he said quietly:"Well, now, do you know what will happen?
14300Was Napoleon puzzled because the corps was heading south- east instead of east?]
14300Was it a spinney, or a body of troops?
14300Was it not time that this should end?
14300Was it now to be provisioned, in order that the Directory might barter away the Cispadane Republic?
14300Was not the column the usual method of attack?
14300Was there really any need for these"nation- degrading"rules, as O''Meara called them?
14300Were not the appeals to Austria and England merely a skillful device to gain time?
14300Were the lofty aims and aspirations of the Revolution attainable?
14300Were they suited to this child of the Mediterranean?
14300What could he now do with these 2,500 or 3,000 prisoners?
14300What is the end of Cromwell?
14300What is the upshot of it all?
14300What mean these_ Miserere_ and these prayers of forty hours?
14300What might not those 20,000 men, detained in La Vendée, have effected on the crest of Waterloo?
14300What right had Prussia thus to carry into effect a treaty which she had not ratified?
14300What then had been lacking?
14300What then remained after these and many other disappointments?
14300What then was wanting?
14300What was their mandate compared with his?
14300What were those ailments?
14300What would not Napoleon have given to know the actual state of things at the allied headquarters?
14300What, meanwhile, was the position of the allies?
14300What, then, caused the delay in the French attack?
14300Where are your great families?
14300Who deserved to enjoy power?
14300Who had won power?
14300Who should succeed this skilful and methodical officer?
14300Who then so fitted as he to approach the victor of Hohenlinden?
14300Why also had the grave been dug beforehand?
14300Why also was his countenance the only one that afterwards showed no remorse or grief?
14300Why did he shut himself up in his private room on March 20th, so that even Josephine had difficulty in gaining entrance?
14300Why did not Ney occupy the cross- roads in force on the evening of the 15th?
14300Why did she accept the armed help of 1,600 French royalists?
14300Why did she admit, not only 6,900 Spaniards, but also 4,900 Neapolitans and 1,600 Piedmontese?
14300Why did she urgently plead with Austria to send 5,000 white- coats from Milan?
14300Why had Austria deserted him?
14300Why had not the King dismissed that tool of England?
14300Why had the French ambassador been slighted?
14300Why lose your head thus?
14300Why not have annexed Prussia outright?
14300Why should Joseph speak of_ his_ rights and_ his_ interests?
14300Why should not history repeat itself?
14300Why should she see her former Belgian provinces handed over to a Protestant Dutch Prince about to be allied with the House of Brunswick by marriage?
14300Why should she subordinate her policy to that of England and to the personal animosities of the Czar?
14300Why should they, or the"electors"of France, cheer?
14300Why speak to me of goodness, abstract justice, and of natural laws?
14300Why then did the Pope set himself above Christ?
14300Why then, we ask, did he accept the command?
14300Why this neglect if she wished to settle matters?]
14300Why this refinement of cruelty to his former ally?
14300Why was Hardenberg high in favour?
14300Why was I not warned that they were assembling at Ettenheim?
14300Why, finally, were Savary and Réal not disgraced?
14300Why, then, did he not attack at once?
14300Why, then, had that treaty been so criticised at Berlin?
14300Why, then, was not the attack clinched by infantry?
14300Witness this crushing retort to M. Mathieu:"What is your Theophilanthropy?
14300Would he have dared the uttermost at all points at Waterloo?
14300Would he have let slip the chance of keeping the"natural frontiers"of France after Leipzig, and her old boundaries, when brought to bay in Champagne?
14300Would he have spurned the offers of an advantageous peace made to him from Prague in 1813?
14300Would it not therefore be better to await the development of events?
14300Would not Dresden and his communications with France be left open to their blows?
14300Would not the hereditary dominions form a more lasting shelter from the storm?
14300Would these bewildered lads stand before the wave of horsemen already topping the crest?
14300You will not make war on me?"
14300[ 14] What was the attitude of Napoleon towards this league?
14300[ 167] What crime had Portugal committed?
14300[ 28] Besides, if England meant to keep Toulon, why did she send only 2,200 soldiers?
14300[ 361] Who is to be blamed for this disaster?
14300[ 36] Did he fear the peace- loving tendencies of the King, or the treachery of Haugwitz?
14300[ 409] What were Napoleon''s views on these questions?
14300[ 52] Why did Napoleon reject Talleyrand''s plan?
14300[ 532] And if a second Montmirail were snatched from Blücher, would it bring more of glory to Napoleon or of useless bloodshed to France?
14300[ 581] How, then, are we to explain Gourgaud''s conduct at St. Helena and afterwards?
14300[ 85] As a set- off to this surrender of all questions of foreign policy and many internal rights, what did these rulers receive?
14300comment se porte madame?"
14300de Colombier lure him back to life?
14300have you forgotten how to die?
14300no prisoners?"
14300said Napoleon,"after such a butchery, no results?
14300to be treated as a rebel; or( 2) treated as vermin; or( 3) that we would( regretfully) detain him?
14300where do you want me to get them from?
14300would require for the expenses of the war-- such as Corsica or some of the French West Indies?
32408Are you still,said he to Dumouriez,"in the same sentiments expressed in your letter last evening?"
32408Mamma,said he,"why should any one harm papa?
32408Moreover,he added,"would it not demonstrate their innocence if you dare not try them?
32408What are you saying, Sir?
32408What does the advice of the general of the army amount to,said Vergniaud,"if it is not law?"
32408What has become of them?
32408What has she done to them?
32408What is going to become of all those who have stayed up stairs?
32408What is the matter with her?
32408What is the name of that guard who defended my father so bravely?
32408Who knows,said he during the night to M. de Malesherbes, with a melancholy smile,"who knows if I shall see the sun set to- morrow?"
32408Why,exclaimed he,"have the police refused cartridges to the National Guard when they have wasted them on the Marseillais?
32408''What harm are they doing you, then?''
32408--"And Madame de Tourzel, my children''s governess?"
32408--"And why not?"
32408--"But if they assassinate Your Majesty, do you think that the Queen and her children would be in less danger?"
32408--"How old is Mademoiselle?"
32408--"True,"replied the old man,"but who would not arm when the King''s life is in danger?"
32408--"Were you acquainted with the conspiracies of the court on August 10?"
32408--"What is your rank?"
32408--"Who did that?"
32408... Do the enemies of the country imagine that the men of July 14 are sleeping?
32408:"Would you believe it?
32408A few minutes later, Danton said to Pétion:"Do you know what they have taken into their heads?
32408After some disorderly and violent debate, it is resolved that the president shall put the question: Are the petitioners to be admitted to the bar?
32408After the acceptance of the Constitution, Marie Antoinette wrote to him:"Can you understand my position and the part I am continually obliged to play?
32408Afterwards, the following conversation took place:"Then you are going to join Luckner''s army?"
32408And do not the nations pass their time in producing webs of Penelope, whose bloody threads they weave and unweave again with tears?
32408And how will André Chénier end?
32408And might not the daughter of the great Maria Theresa have cried, like the daughter of Philipon the engraver?
32408And the women, what was their fate?
32408And then what will happen?
32408And to attain what end?
32408And what is it that interrupts the speakers?
32408And what occurs at the clubs?
32408And where can it now be found?
32408And why say to- morrow?
32408And yet was it not she who had proposed to herself this ideal, so easily to have been realized?
32408Are there any such?
32408Are they dead?
32408At her waking the Queen, on being informed of what had passed, began to weep, and said:"Why was I not called?"
32408But do popular love and fidelity afford any support to a tottering throne?
32408But how could devoted royalists and men accustomed to discipline be expected to approve the fête of the Swiss of Chateauvieux, for example?
32408But how will he receive him?
32408But in that case, what would have become of their popularity with the pikemen?
32408But what shall we do when we get there?"
32408Could one believe that a Queen of France would be reduced to keeping a little dog in her bedroom to warn her of the least noise in her apartment?
32408Could so humiliating an obedience be expected from a great nation, proud of having conquered its liberty?
32408Deputy Saladin exclaimed:"I ask M. Ramond if he is making M. Lafayette''s funeral oration?"
32408Did he foresee that the King and himself would die at the same place, on the same scaffold, and only nine months apart?
32408Do they forget that when the seditious Commune massacred M. Mandat, it rendered his projected defence of no avail?"
32408Do they not belong to all Paris?
32408Do you believe it?
32408Do you desire the welfare of France?
32408Do you fancy that Marie Antoinette is the only woman who will be insulted, calumniated, and betrayed?
32408Do you know what was the chief distraction of this crowd in April, 1792?
32408Do you mean to fire on them?
32408Do you remember the pealing of the bells, the chords of the organ, the blare of trumpets, the clouds of incense, the birds flying in the nave?
32408Do you think I am afraid of death?"
32408Does any one believe that the Assembly will have the courage to condemn Pétion and the 20th of June?
32408Does he fear to imperil the lives of his wife and children by an energetic deed?
32408Does he fear, then, that the National Assembly is not strong enough to repress them?
32408Does he think to prove his wisdom by his patience, and that success will crown delay?
32408Does he wish to carry to extremes that pardon of injuries which is recommended by the Gospel?
32408Does not that prove what deep root royalty had taken in France?
32408Does not this most feminine passage in Madame Roland''s Memoirs recall the character of the mistress of the Little Trianon?
32408Does the fate of Charles I. make him dread the beginning of civil war as the supreme danger?
32408During all this time, what efforts had the Assembly made to put a stop to the murders?
32408From which side did it come?
32408Guadet thundered out:"Do you hear him?
32408Had he not accepted the rank of lieutenant- general from the King, on June 30, 1791?
32408Had not the Queen accorded him at that epoch the most flattering eulogies?
32408Has the National Assembly two weights and measures, then?
32408Have our enemies ceased their advance against our frontiers?
32408Have you no cannon to sweep out this rabble?"
32408Have you the right to deprive others of the pleasure of sharing your triumph?
32408How came the Queen to be there?
32408How could a woman so superior be expected to submit to the tyranny of polite usages?
32408How could he sail against the stream?
32408How did they respond to this conciliatory language?
32408How has the army been able to deliberate?"
32408How was it possible to remain faithful to a chief who was false to himself, who was more like a victim than a king?
32408I ask if I am condemned to look on tranquilly while the assassins of my brother enter here?"
32408In a week... how do I know what may happen?
32408Is Lafayette the less a traitor?"
32408Is he expecting foreign aid?
32408Is he so benevolent, so gentle, that the least thought of repression is repugnant to him?
32408Is it possible?
32408Is the Queen afraid lest the Count d''Artois should arrogate an authority in the realm which would diminish her own?
32408Is this an orgy, a masquerade?
32408Is this the Queen of France and Navarre?
32408Is this woman, confided to the care of an unknown servant, in this deserted old convent, really she?
32408It is sought to change a day of rejoicing into a day of mourning.... What is it all about?
32408It was in vain that Stanislas de Girardin cries,"Do the laws exist no longer, then?"
32408Madame Elisabeth said:"Monsieur Roederer, do you answer for the King''s life?"
32408Meantime what had become of Pétion, whose business it was, as mayor, to defend the palace?
32408Monuments of weakness-- is not the expression worthy of the bombast of the time?
32408On awaking, the Dauphin put this artless question to the Queen:"Mamma, is it yesterday still?"
32408On his return from the United States, had he not been created major- general over the heads of a multitude of older officers?
32408Once arrived at power, was this great enemy of nobility and prescription simple, and easy of approach?
32408Optimists, how will your illusions terminate?
32408Or, not content with their promenade to the Assembly, will they make another to the palace of the Tuileries?
32408Ought he to take violent measures?
32408Ought this divinity, so dear to Frenchmen, to find in its own temple those who rebel against its worship?
32408Our internal troubles?
32408People desiring to establish communication between those down stairs and those above, had been heard to cry:"Have they been struck down?
32408Poor{ 72} woman, whose power will be so ephemeral, why do you make yourself a persecutor?
32408Sometimes I do not understand myself, and am obliged to consider whether it is really I who am speaking; but what is to be done?
32408The two municipal officers said to Hue and Chamilly:"Are you{ 344} the valets- de- chambre?"
32408Then he asked:"Is the officer who commands the guard here?"
32408They do not yet decide this other: Shall the armed citizens defile before the Assembly after they have been heard?
32408They embrace, but are the court conspiracies coming to an end?
32408They were not expected to lead themselves; that duty was imposed on others; have they fulfilled it?"
32408This the daughter of the great Empress Maria Theresa?
32408Thuriot exclaimed:"Are we expected to press an inquiry against forty thousand men?"
32408Unable to comprehend the long- suffering of Louis XVI., he said in an indignant tone:"How could they have allowed this rabble to enter?
32408Ungrateful nation, why dost thou not appreciate thy happiness?
32408Was it not, moreover, a real satisfaction to the bourgeoisie to give power a lesson and humiliate a sovereign?
32408Was it the Marseillais who provoked the combat?
32408Was it the Swiss who sought to avenge their comrades, the sentries?
32408Was not the first of all despotisms the very one to be shaken off?
32408Was not this language like a prognostic of the 21st of January and the 16th of October?
32408Was the dungeon of the Temple to be forced?
32408Were not obscurity, repose, peace of heart, better for her than that fictitious glory which was to pass so quickly and end upon the scaffold?
32408Were not three of them still in the Ministerial Council?
32408What can they do if they are not united, encouraged, and led?
32408What do all our mistrust and suspicions amount to?
32408What figure could she have made at Versailles, or even at the Tuileries?
32408What had become of those Swiss who, either in consequence of their wounds, or through some other motive, had been obliged to remain at the palace?
32408What had happened on the day before Madame Elisabeth wrote this letter?
32408What had happened?
32408What had taken place at the Tuileries after the departure of the royal family for the Assembly?
32408What had they to complain of, then?
32408What has occurred since the day when Vergniaud, uttering such words as these, was frantically cheered?
32408What have you come to do in the midst of these ferocious Jacobins, who flatter you to- day and will assassinate you to- morrow?
32408What have you gained by your sentimental{ 247} jargon?
32408What impression was made on her by this excursion to the royal palace?
32408What influences formed this woman whose qualities were masculine?
32408What interest have they in planning the murders?
32408What is going to happen?
32408What is going to happen?
32408What is it he asks?
32408What is necessary but good, honest common sense?"
32408What is she afraid of, then?
32408What is the use of discussing it?"
32408What is to be done?
32408What means of doing so could be found?
32408What might not be feared from so many demoniacs, howling like cannibals?
32408What must not these two keenly sensitive women have had to suffer at the epoch when France became a hell?
32408What news will she yet learn?
32408What powerful motives have brought him hither?
32408What preparations have been made for its defence?
32408What the devil are they doing down there?
32408What was Madame Roland doing the next day, when the worst of the massacres were going on?
32408What was lacking to the monarch to enable him to combine so many scattered elements into a solid group?
32408What was to be done?
32408What was to be the fate of the loyal and devoted servant, thus sacrificed to his master''s inexcusable weakness?
32408What was to prevent this?
32408What will become of my poor children?"
32408What will the insurrectionary column do?
32408What would be their fate if the measures you propose to me did not succeed?"
32408When has there been more noise, more tumult, more movement, more unexpected or more varied scenes?
32408When she recovered consciousness she was interrogated:"Who are you?"
32408When will the men of the Commune render their accounts?
32408Whence was drawn the inspiration of this siren, destined to be taken in her own snares and die the victim of her own incantations?
32408Where are these honest men?
32408Where find a point of vantage?
32408While he still retained his sword, why did he leave it in the scabbard?
32408Who are the accomplices of Danton and Marat in organizing the massacres?
32408Who could say?
32408Who dared, then, to pollute her joy?
32408Who has fallen?
32408Who has survived the carnage?
32408Who knows?
32408Who, at their dawning, could have predicted for them such an appalling night?
32408Why did he not remember that it might launch thunderbolts?
32408Why did that marplot, Danton, come with his untimely massacres to destroy such brilliant projects and banish such delightful dreams?
32408Why had he garrisoned Paris insufficiently ever since the outbreak of the Revolution?
32408Why had he not opposed the first persecutions aimed at the Church?
32408Why had he not succeeded in being a king?
32408Why had he pretended to approve acts and ideas which horrified him?
32408Why had he suffered the Bastille to be taken, encouraged the emigration, and disbanded his bodyguards?
32408Why have you quitted these honest people?
32408Why is it so slow in bringing down the sword of the law upon the heads of the guilty?
32408Why labor so relentlessly to shake the foundations of a throne that will bury you beneath its ruins?
32408Why this long misunderstanding between him and his people?
32408Why were these two women political adversaries?
32408Why, if he was bent on this veto, so just, so honest, but so ill- timed, had he freely made so many concessions which thus became inexplicable?
32408Why?
32408Will the armed citizens return peaceably to their homes?
32408Will the time never arrive when ministers shall cease to betray us?
32408Will you cause the massacre of the King, your children, and your servants?"
32408Will you disgrace your flags?"
32408With such an Assembly, why should the insurrectionists have hesitated?
32408Would not so perilous a mission intimidate even the most heroic?
32408Would not this cry of Madame Roland in her captivity suit Marie Antoinette as well?
32408Would resistance have been possible even at this moment; that is to say, between seven and eight in the morning?
32408You will carry your head to the scaffold, and, optimist to the end, you will say:"What is the guillotine?
32408added:"Is it what you call respecting{ 225} my person to enter my house in arms, break down my doors and use force to my guards?"
32408and for whom?
32408and the Queen, that"two illustrious heads"should be brought to trial?
32408and undeceives them by naming her.--"Why did you not allow them to believe I am the Queen?"
32408and what did you say?"
32408anxiously.--"They are prisoners at the Force,"returned Manuel.--"What are they going to do with the only servant I have left?"
32408asked Santerre;"what is she crying about?"
32408be struck by a ball or by a poniard?
32408call to mind that he was the commander- in- chief of the army?
32408cried Bertrand de Molleville,"does Your Majesty believe that you will be assassinated?"
32408elect to deprive himself of his minister''s aid?
32408fully comprehend that for soldiers like these such an outrage was a hundred times worse than death?
32408go amongst his soldiers?
32408he spitefully exclaimed,"did they spare the Queen that impression?
32408humanitarian abbé, rose- water revolutionist, of what avail is your democratic holy water?
32408said to him:"It seems there is a great deal of commotion?"
32408what are personal dangers to a King whom men are seeking to deprive of his people''s love?
32408what do your dreams of evangelical philosophy and universal brotherhood amount to?
32408what need is there of discussion when everybody is of the same mind?
32408when shall I breathe pure air and those soft exhalations so agreeable to my heart?"
32408when the invasion begins?
32408{ 393} Is not history, with its perpetual alternatives of license and despotism, like a vicious circle?
59162''Es tu du midi? 59162 ''What is your age?''
59162Am I to carry that answer to the king?
59162And my niece?
59162And what are your means to effect this revolution?
59162Are you Republicans?
59162Are you willing,inquired the president,"to undertake the defense of the Convention?"
59162But how,continued the queen,"could I have obtained popularity?
59162But may I be permitted,inquired the minister,"to ask your majesty if the queen''s opinion on this point agrees with the king''s?"
59162But suppose the court refuses,said one of his friends,"to adopt your plans?"
59162But suppose they should not keep their word?
59162But to whom,said the mayor, Flesselles,"shall the oath of fidelity be taken?"
59162Can she go too?
59162Danton, do you know,said Eglantine to him one day,"of what you are accused?
59162Did you hurt yourself?
59162Did you intend to stab Robespierre?
59162Has any mention been made of the queen?
59162Has it struck five?
59162Have I ever,said the queen, calmly,"done you any wrong?"
59162How ruined?
59162I know it,replied St. Just,"and deplore it; and I wish that I could moderate the convulsions of society; but what am I?"
59162Madame,said La Fayette to the queen,"the king goes to Paris; what will you do?"
59162O my Lucile, sensitive as I was, the death which delivers me from the sight of so much crime, is it so great a misfortune? 59162 Oh my wife, my dear wife,"said he,"shall I never see you again?"
59162Robespierre,she wrote to him,"is it not enough to have assassinated your best friend; do you desire also the blood of his wife, of my daughter?
59162Shall the king have a negative on the laws? 59162 The two first men of England and France, the author of_ Othello_ and of_ Tartufe_, were they not comedians?"
59162To the guillotine?
59162Well,replied Danton,"do you know what that proves?
59162What do you wish to do?
59162What does it signify,replied Dumouriez,"whether the king be called Louis, or Jacques, or Philippe?"
59162What is a formal act of opposition? 59162 What is it?"
59162What is your age?
59162What is your condition?
59162What is your name?
59162What shall I do with it?
59162What shall we be doing to- morrow at this time?
59162What tempted you?
59162What then,says he,"was this Revolutionary government?
59162What was the object of your visit to Robespierre?
59162What were the means,inquired the queen,"which you would have advised me to resort to?"
59162What, have you not slept?
59162What,rejoined the queen,"have we no defenders?
59162Where has tyranny,said Rewbel,"been organized?
59162Where is it?
59162Where is the Frenchman of the present day,says De Tocqueville,"who would write such books as those of Diderot or Helvetius?
59162Who is that young man,inquired the proud Alfieri,"who has collected such a group around him?"
59162Why are you a Royalist?
59162Why did you provide yourself with the change of clothes?
59162Why did you spare their lives?
59162[ 130] The king now wrote a letter to hisfaithful clergy"and his"loyal nobility,"urging them to join the Assembly without further?
59162[ 275] The king, interrupting her, turned abruptly to the officer, and said,What do you want?"
59162''How could they have allowed that rabble to enter?
59162''How is that, my lord?''
59162A king who can not take the Constitution, nor reject the Constitution, nor do any thing at all but miserably ask,''What shall I do?''"
59162A man from the crowd cried out,"What is the use of judging a man who has been judged these thirty years?"
59162Against which what can a judicious friend, Morellet, do; a Rivarol, an unruly Linguet( well paid for it), spouting_ cold_?"
59162All government was disorganized, and the question which agitated every heart was,"What shall be done with the king?"
59162And do you wish that I should respect you, ye priests of an ignominious God(_ d''un Dieu proletaire_), who is not even an active citizen?
59162And if you are foreigners, how is it that you have influence to procure fifty dragoons to escort you at St. Menehould, and as many more at Clermont?
59162And is there any man so silly as to scruple to rebuild his shattered dwelling, because others might be tempted to re- edify theirs?
59162And must we continue to slaughter one another for the interests and the passions of a nation which knows nothing of the calamities of war?
59162And what is national bankruptcy?
59162And why is there a detachment of hussars waiting for you at Varennes?"
59162Are we alone?"
59162As for you, ye despicable priests, ye lying cheating knaves, do you see that you make even your God ineligible?
59162As he entered the cabinet of the king to render in his accounts and to take leave, the king said,"You go, then, to join the army of Luckner?"
59162As the monarch was lying upon his dying bed, he called his little son, five years of age, to his side, and said to him,"What is your name?"
59162As the queen raised her eyes and saw M. de Romeuf enter, she exclaimed, with surprise and indignation,"What, sir, is it you?
59162As they were slowly read over, one by one, the president paused after each and said to the king,"What have you to answer?"
59162At all the principal places the cortège?
59162At last the president inquired,"By whose instigation?"
59162But Drouet, a young man of unusual intelligence and energy, demanded,"Why is not the passport signed by the President of the National Assembly?
59162But how could the Bastille be taken?
59162But if the minister could not carry even this project, what could he have done with one making still greater demands?
59162But is it really their fault if their principles are so general as to be adapted to all men, of all times, and of all countries?
59162But that which is not Cæsar''s, is it necessary to render to him that?
59162But what is, then, the crime of my Camille?
59162But what will become of our poor children?
59162But you,"he added, addressing Camille Desmoulins,"why do you keep silence?"
59162But, Robespierre, will you really accomplish the deadly projects which doubtless the vile souls which surround you have inspired you with?
59162Can they, then, no longer attain their object by corresponding openly with the horde of conspirators resident at Hamburg?
59162Can you see any guilt in them?
59162Can you, then, reject my prayers, despise my tears, and trample justice under foot?
59162Citizens, which of you could subscribe to these ignominious proposals?
59162Could Calonne succeed?
59162Danton was present, and, taking the young duke aside, said to him,"What do you do here?
59162Do they pretend that they are nobles because they are conquerors?
59162Do you believe that people will gain confidence in you by seeing you immolate your best friends?
59162Do you fear to degrade royalty by handing over the king and queen to ordinary tribunals?
59162Do you not hear the tocsin?
59162Do you recollect it?
59162Do you recollect that on the first Prairial, when you came to sup with me, you told me that you had just prevented Barras from bombarding Paris?
59162Do you think that the only plan he has to follow is to adhere to his oath?''
59162Do you think that they will bless him who regards neither the tears of the widow nor the death of the orphan?
59162Does a citizen avoid society and live retired by his fireside?
59162Has not this war lasted six years?
59162Have they invented them maliciously, and in order to impose on kings and on the great?
59162Have we not slain men enough and inflicted calamities enough on suffering humanity?
59162Have you forgotten those bonds which Camille never recalls without grief?
59162He could only exclaim,"Do you wish to kill me with joy?"
59162He hesitated, stopped, and, turning to M. Roederer, said,"What is to become of our friends who remain behind?"
59162He thus asked, and answered, three questions:"What is the Third Estate?
59162How can I requite them?
59162Hunger and hardship are not to be eternal?
59162I possess nothing; and were I to leave them a legacy it would not be paid; besides, what fortune could repay such a debt?"
59162If the French language is understood through all Europe, are the French to blame?
59162If the king gets this veto, what is the use of the National Assembly?
59162If this bold, resolute body were the_ nation_, what were they?
59162If two, shall one of them be hereditary, or for life, or for a fixed term; and named by the king or elected by the people?
59162If we must have one of the two, who would not prefer the latter?"
59162In drinking to a republic, stained at its birth with the blood of September, who knows that we do not drink to our own death?
59162Is he gay and dissipated?
59162Is he poor?
59162Is he rich?
59162Is he thoughtful and melancholy?
59162Is it because citizens are no longer sent to prison by hundreds?
59162Is it because he beat themselves and their friends in Vendémiaire?
59162Is it, then, Danton you regret?
59162Is there, then, no hope of arrangement?
59162It was ascertained that there was a large supply at the Hôtel des Invalides, but how could they be taken without any weapons of attack?
59162It was decreed that the subject should be presented to the Convention in the three following questions:_ First_, Is Louis guilty?
59162Legislature, how should it be constituted?
59162Légendre, speaking in behalf of the Thermidorians, in reply to the Jacobins, said,"What have you to complain of, you who are constantly accusing us?
59162Must I go away, or stay?
59162Must they, in order to gain the patronage of the masters whom they are desirous of giving to France, vilify the leaders of the armies?
59162Nay, is it not a proof of the excellence of their principles, which depend neither upon ages, nor on prejudices, nor on climates?
59162Ought they, through fear of being listened to and imitated, to observe a strict silence, or speak a language different from their own?"
59162Robespierre exclaimed in astonishment,"What, can you think of sleeping on such a night?
59162Shall that negative be absolute, or suspensive only?
59162Shall there be two chambers of legislation, or one only?
59162She then thus imploringly wrote to him,*****"Can you accuse us of treason, you who have profited so much by the efforts we have made for our country?
59162Soldiers of Italy, will your courage fail you?"
59162The dictatorship?
59162The king rejoined, in accents of deep sensibility,"The French loved Henry the Fourth; and what king ever better deserved to be beloved?"
59162The president hesitated, and then continued,"But are you aware of the magnitude of the undertaking?"
59162The queen then stepped back into the room, and said to La Fayette,"My guards, can you not do something for them?"
59162The women, as they met the soldiers in the streets, would ask,"Will you fire upon your friends to perpetuate the power of your and our oppressors?"
59162The wretched man, overwhelmed by the clamor, turned pale with indignation, and shouted"President of assassins, will you hear me?"
59162Then, pointing to a window of the Louvre, he continued, in deep and solemn tones which thrilled through every heart,"Do you appeal to history?
59162There had been no meeting of the States- General for one hundred and seventy- five years, and the question now rose, How shall the members be elected?
59162This excited his indignation, and he said, warmly,"Do they think that I am such a coward as to lay violent hands upon myself?
59162This is the tocsin of St. Roch; that, again, is_ it_ not St. Jaques, named_ de la Boucherie_?
59162Three millions of men had come from the furrow and the shop, and fiercely demanded"Where are the brigands?
59162Time?
59162To whom should he lend?
59162Was it Providence?
59162Was it chance?
59162Was it defending us not to check a general who violated the Constitution, but to enchain the courage of those who were serving it?
59162Was it defending us to thwart plans tending to fortify the interior?
59162Was it not you, O glorious day, first day of liberty?
59162Was the mayor deceiving them?
59162What can I do?
59162What can be expected from those addresses to the people which he has been advised to post up?
59162What does it want?
59162What has it hitherto been in our form of government?
59162What have we gained?
59162What mean these menacing preparations?
59162What should they have done in these circumstances?
59162What would I not give for the lantern of Diogenes to read the heart of Danton, and learn if he be the friend or the enemy of the Republic?"
59162Where are the enemies of the state and of the king that are to be subdued?''
59162Where has it found its supporters and satellites?
59162Where should I be this day but for this hope?
59162Which of us would not make an expiatory pile of these infamous parchments?
59162Who can recollect without emotion the religious silence which reigned throughout the hall and galleries when the vote was put?
59162Who is it who gives commands to us-- to us to whom alone twenty- five millions of men are looking for happiness?
59162Who regret the frightful government under which we have lived?
59162Who that saw that ceremony ever forgot its solemnity?
59162Why did they not sweep away four or five hundred of them with the cannon?
59162Why do I love so fondly?
59162Why do you come hither?
59162Why does he pretend to be ignorant of it?
59162Why is Bonaparte, then, the object of the wrath of these gentry?
59162Will they not make you change your mind again?"
59162Will you, who have ever deserved so much from your country, cast shame and dishonor on her now?"
59162Wilt thou never arrive?"
59162Would he have suffered these assemblages?
59162Would you rather have any one but me witness these passions?"
59162[ 385] And now came the_ third_ great and solemn question, What shall be the sentence?
59162[ 79] The all- important and most agitating question was, What proportion shall the people occupy in this assembly?
59162[ Footnote 101:"Who would believe that this mad court remembered and regretted the absurd custom of making the Third Estate harangue on their knees?
59162[ Footnote 250:"What was the National Assembly doing at this time in Paris?
59162[ Footnote 284: Robespierre was opposed to this act of special respect, and exclaimed,"What means this obsequious exception?
59162_ Second_, Shall the decision of the Convention be submitted to the ratification of the people?
59162are you quite sincere?
59162because the guillotine no longer dispatches fifty, sixty, or eighty persons per day?
59162brave young man, where is the Republican soldier whose heart does not burn with the desire to imitate thee?
59162he exclaimed,"will you, a nation of brave men, become a nation of murderers?"
59162must I wait still longer?
59162of how many shall the body be composed?
59162or even St. Germain l''Auxerrois, hear ye it not?
59162to us also has hope reached-- down even to us?
59162was it not enough for him to have asserted that she was a Messalina, without also making an Agrippina of her?"
59162what have I done to them?_''I offered her orange- flower- water and ether.
59162what proportion shall be from the privileged and what from the unprivileged class?
59162who but a drunkard would ever point his arms against his country or its representatives?
59162who shall be voters?
59162why am I so fondly loved?
59162why did you not defend him?''
59162you who prayed for our union, who joined our hands in yours, who have smiled upon my son whose infantile hands have so often caressed you?
36043''Are there any Federals here?'' 36043 And there are many dead?"
36043And who would have fed my family when the workshop and factory were closed?
36043And you? 36043 Are you numerous enough?
36043Bouverat, why did you join the_ Pupilles de la Commune_?
36043But do you not know the law?
36043But what is your programme?
36043But, after all, are you then resolved to sacrifice Paris?
36043But, in fine,said Clémenceau,"what are your pretensions?
36043Cagnoncle, you were_ Enfant de la Commune_?
36043Did not that money burn your hands?
36043Did not we do them? 36043 Did you discharge many shots?"
36043Did you take arms? 36043 Druet,"said the soldier,"what did your father do?"
36043Have you a few thousand resolute men?
36043How many children were there of you?
36043Is this a reason,Digeon answered in a placard,"to lower before force this red flag dyed in the blood of our martyrs?
36043Lescot, why did you leave your mother?
36043We beg your pardon, and how about the communal institutions of 1791?
36043Well, what did we tell you?
36043What are you about at Versailles when Versailles is bombarding Paris?
36043What are you waiting for? 36043 What are your intentions?"
36043What authority have you at Paris? 36043 What does Paris demand?"
36043What figure can you cut in the midst of these colleagues who assassinate your electors? 36043 What has the Commune decided?"
36043When did you see him?
36043Where are they?
36043Where are you going?
36043Where find 9,000 artillerists?
36043Where is my father? 36043 Who are you?"
36043Who are you?
36043Who condemns us?
36043Who does not recollect,said the_ Temps_,"even though he had seen it but one moment, the square, no, the charnel of the Tour St. Jacques?
36043Who has named you?
36043Who sent you?
36043Whose books are these?
36043Why did you leave your family?
36043Why did you not work like him?
36043Why have you shut up these women?
36043Why,another was asked,"did you remain when all the battalion ran away?"
36043Why?
36043With whom should they treat in Paris?
36043You are audacious,said he;"do you know that this platoon is here to shoot you?"
36043You fought at Issy, at Neuilly? 36043 You have been arrested for vagrancy?"
36043You have been wounded?
36043You?
36043[ 170] And all the Radicals bridled up:Should we not be at Paris if Paris were in the right?"
36043[ 51] Did he at least possess that quick penetration which makes up for want of experience? 36043 ''And all the cruelty you have committed, do you take that for nothing? 36043 ''Who are you?'' 36043 ''Who is it?'' 36043 ''You are not going to shoot me?'' 36043 And besides, the generals, were they alone guilty? 36043 And do we even know all their sufferings? 36043 And in the midst of the fire, is theexecutive agent"to expect that the soldier who does battle for him will also bring him ideas?
36043And indeed, would not the provinces hasten to their rescue, as in June, 1848?
36043And my wife, my children?"
36043And now, was Paris to submit to the entry of the Prussians, to let them parade her boulevards?
36043And proletarians without political education, without administration, without money, how could they be able"to steer their bark"?
36043And these, gentlemen, believe me, were carried off by citizens devoted to order, the National Guards of Passy and Auteuil, and taken where?
36043And we, what are we doing here instead of imitating him?"
36043And when did foreigners show such fury?
36043And why?
36043And your Convention, did not it first act in the very midst of the hurricane?
36043Are not interments in churches formally prohibited?
36043As he pleaded the rights of the Assembly they put him to the test;"Do you recognise the Central Committee?"
36043At the Corderie I see the proletariat of the small middle- class, men of the pen and orators, but where is the bulk of the army?
36043Because of the incapacity of the chiefs ought the soldiers to desert their flag?
36043Besides, are not these judgments already judged?
36043Besides, with whom could one treat in Paris?
36043Bourgeois, was it not in sight of the foreigner that your ancestor Etienne Marcel tried to remake France?
36043But how to draw up indictments against 36,000 prisoners?
36043But our enemies, are they yours also?"
36043But was this a time to legislate when the cannon ruled supreme?
36043But what cared he for the fate of a few priests and a few gendarmes?
36043But what signified this decree, improvised at random, without a preliminary declaration and without a sequel?
36043But what signified this word Committee of Public Safety, this parody of the past and scarecrow of boobies?
36043But what was to be expected of men who had not even been able to pluck up sufficient courage to wrench Paris from Trochu?
36043But where to find cannon?
36043But who then thought of the elections?
36043But who, then, has commenced the war?
36043By whom?
36043Can you believe that I could for a single moment harbour the thought of leaving Monseigneur alone here?"
36043Communists, Bonapartists, or Prussians?
36043Could it be that the Government intended withdrawing some Parisians out of the clutches of the Assembly?
36043Did he bring a great political revolution?
36043Did it shed light upon the mysteries of the caves of Picpus, the skeletons of St. Laurent?
36043Did it then possess the secret of victory?
36043Did practical instinct make up for want of science on the part of the delegation?
36043Did the men of the 4th September, yes or no, betray the mandate they received?
36043Did the new delegate at least bring a powerful military conception?
36043Did you serve the Commune?
36043Do you at last recognise this Paris, seven times shot down since 1789, and always ready to rise for the salvation of France?
36043Do you confine your mandate to asking the Assembly for a municipal council?"
36043Do you hear, members of the Commune?
36043Do you then believe that every one approves what is done here?
36043Do you think that the adoption of a bill would disarm the party of brigands, the party of assassins?"
36043Do you understand, workingmen, you who are free?
36043Does not the Boulevard Voltaire still hold out?

36043Faltot sent us a note in these words:''I have five or six battalions in the Rue de Sèvres; what am I to do?''
36043He commanded the officers to be shot, but the chief of the escort reminding him of General Pellé''s promise, Vinoy said,"Is there a chief?"
36043He listened to the recital without ceasing to write, and then only asked,"How did they die?"
36043He said to me,''Why?''
36043He said to us,"What is true in all the rumours bruited about?"

36043Here the conservatives of 1848 gave vent to their rage; but what was their fury compared with that of 1871?
36043How did it happen that those 60,000 men, so clear- sighted, prompt, and energetic, could not manage to direct public opinion?
36043How disarm 100,000 men with this mob?
36043How fly without money and without confederates?
36043How had this subterranean vegetation contrived to pierce and overgrow the summit of the country?

36043How to justify this savagery?

36043In general they were rather neglected; and how could one man attend to the daily sittings of the Hôtel- de- Ville, to his commission and his mairie?

36043Is it necessary to add that from the 3rd April to the 23rd May the Federals did not shoot_ one single_ prisoner, officer or soldier?
36043Is it not for the people to at last do justice to that great Polish race which all French governments have betrayed?
36043Is it not the duty of the Commune to expose these illegal proceedings, which are perhaps crimes?
36043Is not this the revolution of all proletarians?
36043Is the Bastille taken?

36043Many too said,"Who are these unknown men?"
36043No doubt my accent, the elegance of my clothes, struck him, for he added,''Have you any papers?''
36043On the 19th March, what remained to M. Thiers wherewith to govern France?
36043One of the condemned, turning to the officer who read the sentence, cried to him in a heart- rending voice,"And who will feed my child?"
36043The Government ever ready to negotiate, or the men ever offering a desperate resistance?
36043The agitators, the revolutionists of La Corderie, the Socialists?
36043The author wittily adds,"What the devil was this imbecile solicitous about?"
36043The bourgeoisie, which has accomplished its emancipation, does it not understand that now the time for the emancipation of the proletariat is come?
36043The chassepots were being levelled, when a member of the Council said,"What are you doing?
36043The day before, the general, receiving the order to evacuate the forts, had answered,"Is it treachery or a misunderstanding?
36043The workingmen, those who produce everything and enjoy nothing, are they then for ever to be exposed to outrage?
36043Then M. Thiers gave those drones a lesson they richly deserved:"What would be the use of concessions?"
36043They surrounded the mitrailleuses, apostrophized the sergeant in command of the gun, saying,"This is shameful; what are you doing there?"
36043To another:"You served in the battalions of the Commune?"
36043Was a_ personnel_ wanting?
36043Was he wanting in authority?
36043Was it by a foreign enemy exercising the rights of war?
36043Was it not better, as in the cases of Duval and Dombrowski, to give at once a few thousand francs to those having a right to them?
36043Was it treason?
36043Was not your Government in the same situation?
36043Were it not better to put it off till to- morrow?"
36043Were they to give in, their arms intact?
36043What are they doing here amongst these brave men?
36043What bourgeoisie in the world after such immense disasters would not with careful heed have tended such a reservoir of living force?
36043What can Versailles do against 100,000 men?
36043What did they answer?
36043What did they want?
36043What does it matter?
36043What does the French peasant know of his fatherland, and how many could say where Alsace lies?
36043What else is wanted to conquer?
36043What finer cause to begin with for a young man?
36043What forces and what plan did the Commune oppose?
36043What had it done for a week past?
36043What had the Central Committee done but follow the people and occupy the deserted Hôtel- de- Ville?
36043What had the National Guards done but answer a nocturnal aggression, taken back cannon paid for by themselves?
36043What has the Central Committee done in answer to these attacks?
36043What indeed could be said against this new- born power whose first word was its own abdication?
36043What is the small middle- class contributing now?
36043What mattered it?
36043What mattered their obscurity?
36043What mean these partial sorties which are never sustained?
36043What might not the brave men of Neuilly, Asnières, Issy, Vanves, Cachan, have done at the Panthéon and Montmartre?
36043What might not these 15,000 men, uselessly sacrificed outside the town, have done within Paris?
36043What motive induced the foreigner to intervene?
36043What rebellion had been thus armed?
36043What should we do?
36043What signified this sinister masquerade?
36043What sovereign has ever abandoned power without carrying off millions?
36043What then is their aim?
36043What was the action of the Council in reply to this appeal to treason?
36043What was the state of the provinces?
36043What was the use of this tall talking?
36043What was their crime?
36043What were to be the powers of that central delegation, the reciprocal obligations of the Communes?
36043What will become of my mother?"
36043What woman perished or was insulted?
36043What, then, was the governor of the Ecole about?
36043When asked,"Of what armies were you general?"
36043When he repudiates all method, who will listen to reason?
36043When the Minister of War thus stigmatises all discipline, who will henceforth obey?
36043When the bourgeois, who make all laws, always act illegally, how are the workmen to proceed, against whom all the laws are made?
36043Where are their Jacobins, even their Cordeliers?
36043Where are they to stop?
36043Where is her programme, say you?
36043Where is the engineer- in- chief who had said that at his bidding an abyss would open and swallow up the enemy?
36043Where is your second enceinte?
36043Where my husband?
36043Who are the members of this Committee?
36043Who are these officers who have laid aside their uniforms, these members of the Council, these functionaries who have shaved their beards?
36043Who attacked Paris on the 18th March?
36043Who attacked her on the 2nd April?
36043Who does not know what the provinces contributed in blood and sinew to the great town?
36043Who ever ill- treated a prisoner in the Paris of the Commune?
36043Who had began the civil war, attacked first?
36043Who has always repulsed them?
36043Who has spoken of conciliation, multiplied attempts at peace?
36043Who is more odious, he who believes he is killing an"insolent,"or he who knows that he is killing a martyr?
36043Who save Paris will stifle the clerical monster?
36043Who served the enemy?
36043Who speaks, who applauds thus?
36043Who then spoke of civil war?
36043Who then was to feed Paris if not the provinces?
36043Who then will dare to blame the Federals for having resisted the army of Versailles as they would have the Prussians?
36043Who was the culprit?
36043Who was the great conspirator against Paris?
36043Who was to save our peasants if not Paris?
36043Who were these men?
36043Who were they?
36043Who will avenge these hecatombs of unknown men, executed in silence, like the last combatants of the Père Lachaise in the darkness of the night?
36043Who will form the platoon?"
36043Who will save thee?
36043Who would listen to you at the Hôtel- de- Ville?
36043Who, save Paris, will have strength enough to continue the Revolution?
36043Who, then, will speak for the people?
36043Why did they not hold their sittings at the Muette or under the eyes of the public?
36043Why did you accept this"absurd"situation with which you were thoroughly conversant?
36043Why did you know nothing for fifteen hours of the evacuation of a fort whose straits it was your duty to watch from hour to hour?
36043Why did you make no conditions on entering the Ministry on the 1st April, no condition to the Council on the 2nd and 3rd May?
36043Why did you send away at least 7,000 men this morning, when you pretend not to have"the smallest military force"at your disposal?
36043Why has no work been done at Montmartre and the Panthéon?
36043Why is the National Guard hardly armed, unorganized, withheld from every military action?
36043Why is the casting of cannon not proceeded with?
36043Why not forge arms under the eye of the enemy?
36043Why, then, does it persist in refusing the proletariat its legitimate share?"
36043Will they help us?
36043Will they still say that we are a handful of malcontents?"
36043Will you aid us, and proceed with us to consult the elections?
36043Will you proceed to make the elections?"
36043Will you take upon yourselves the responsibility of these assassinations?"
36043With what is it occupying itself?
36043Yet the Committee might well say,"Which have rallied?"
36043You have, say you?
36043You who say,''What matters the triumph of our cause if I must lose those I love?''
36043[ 109] How came these latter to be chosen?
36043[ 136]"Do you know,"said he to Delescluze,"that Versailles has offered me a million?"
36043[ 177] Each one is left to his instincts, and where do you see debauchery victorious?
36043[ 249] In the law- schools is there no one to undertake it?
36043[ 268] What hope remains?
36043[ 33] Who bears witness to the bravery of the National Guard?
36043[ 3] And what then is the small middle- class doing meanwhile?
36043and my son?
36043and what do you think of the way I managed the business?"
36043for life?
36043is n''t this a jolly vintage?''
36043is this your answer when thousands of Frenchmen come to offer you their lives and fortunes?"
36043these words, do they not burn your lips?
36043you want to return to the follies of our fathers?"
36043you would dare fire on the people?"
7054And what was your project?
7054And where will it be necessary to send the ambassador of the Pope? 7054 Are you compromised?"
7054Are you confident of victory?
7054Art thou already king, that thou canst thus dispense pardon?
7054But if the Dnieper is not frozen, what shall we do?
7054By what right do you do this?
7054Difficult it may be,replied the First Consul to the report of Marescot,"but is it possible?"
7054Do people take us for children?
7054Do they expect to draw us aside with these declamations against the emigrants, the Chouans, and the priests? 7054 Had you many people with you?"
7054Happy for the Republic,it was said,"if Bonaparte were immortal?
7054Has the emperor the right to meddle in those matters?
7054Have you any money?
7054How is it now with us?
7054How is it they have dared to say that France is arming? 7054 I suppose you want to speak about Piedmont and Switzerland?
7054If I had the city of Brunswick demolished, and if I did not leave of it one stone on another, what would your prince say? 7054 If there is a second battle to- morrow, what troops shall I give it with?"
7054In the meantime what will happen? 7054 Is submission to the government of France a dogma of the Church?
7054Must the war which for eight years has ravaged the four quarters of the globe, be eternal? 7054 Never mind my purse,"said the holy father;"but what will they do with my breviary and the office of the Virgin?"
7054Of what nature were your means of attack?
7054Of what use are those in the country?
7054Shall the throne of Poland be re- established, and shall this great nation reassert its existence and its independence? 7054 Since when have the conquered had the right of choosing the finest country for their winter- quarters?"
7054The Pope? 7054 The senators, if they were allowed to do it, would go on to absorb the Corps Législatif, and, who knows?
7054Was liberty then always to be shown to man without his being able to enjoy it? 7054 What colleagues will they give me?"
7054What did you come to do in Paris?
7054What did you have to do with Russia?
7054What do they want of me?
7054What do you think about it, Mouton?
7054What is become of them?
7054What is it in the decree that most displeases the bishops?
7054What were your means?
7054What would you have?
7054When was it discovered that the dangers of Jacobinism cease to exist?
7054Where did you count on finding this force?
7054Where is Hardy?
7054Who are you,said he,"and what is it you require of me, that you come at such an hour to trouble my repose and invade my dwelling- place?"
7054Who are you? 7054 Who nominated you?"
7054Who would leave such brave men?
7054Whom do you wish?
7054Why does the Emperor Alexander make war on me? 7054 Why have you quitted Holland?"
7054Why,he wrote to Fouché,"should you not engage M. Raynouard to make a tragedy on the transition from the first to the second race?
7054Yes, more than you are aware of; but, finally, what are your orders?
7054You do not then think him strong?
7054You have left Europe, as it were, have you not?
7054You hear, soldiers?
7054''Where is the officer?''
7054''Who is there?''
7054Advancing towards the admiral,"Of what pamphlets do you speak?"
7054After all that we have done for him, ought we to expect such treatment?"
7054And as a young officer stepped out of the ranks,"Has any one here a pair of scissors?"
7054And as timid objections began to manifest themselves in the assembly,"What, messieurs?"
7054And how, after that, can he think of commanding my troops, since he has perjured his oaths?"
7054And now, what is your object in coming here?
7054And these two consuls?
7054And why should the emperor be provoked at it?
7054And without listening to the pacific protestations of the prince,"Why, then, these immense preparations?
7054Are we no longer the soldiers of Austerlitz?
7054Are you ignorant of the fact that it is your culpable pretensions which drove Luther and Calvin to separate from Rome half the Catholic world?
7054As to Eylau, I have said and resaid that the bulletin exaggerated the loss; and, for a great battle, what are 2000 men slain?
7054Barclay, who can manoeuvre, who is brave, who knows war, but who is a superannuated general?
7054Because there are still a few partial attempts in Vendée, must we be called upon to declare the country in danger?
7054Benningsen, who is old and only recalls to him frightful memories?
7054Besides, why destroy one of the finest towns of the world, and the work of ages, to accomplish so paltry an object?
7054But must I commence proscribing for a quality?
7054But what matters it to England?
7054But where are his successors?
7054But where would she find her allies?
7054But who attacks you, to make you think so much of defence?
7054But who has given him the right to do so?
7054But why spill so much blood?
7054Can I count upon you?
7054Can the waters of the Danube have acquired the property of the river Lethe?"
7054Do conspirators openly find fault with that which they do not approve?
7054Do you not know, gentlemen, members of the council, that excepting two or three you all pass for royalists?
7054Do you think that serious men would be able to lend themselves to such shams?"
7054Do you think that we were as brave in''92 as we are to- day, after fifteen years of warfare?
7054Does Austria wish to keep Galicia?
7054Does it imagine that for the French Government reciprocity will be difficult?
7054Does it not know that the French Government is now more firmly established than the English Government?
7054Does not the law of retaliation permit me to do to Brunswick what he wanted to do to my capital?
7054Does she wish to treat openly or secretly?
7054From the depths of the tomb shall it be born again to life?
7054Have not all our relations together been extremely amicable?
7054Have not the Genevans done us harm enough?"
7054Have we not seen your allies waiting for succor more than a year, without receiving it?"
7054He is only general on parade: whom will he put against me?
7054How could you bring the Prince de la Paix to trial without including with him the queen, and your father the king?
7054How dare you ask a capitulation, you who violated that of Baylen?
7054How do you think they could agree?
7054How has the emperor acted?
7054If I appoint you King of Spain, do you agree?
7054If they have acted by the king''s order, what must I think of that prince?
7054In 1789, his pamphlet,"What is the Third Estate?"
7054Is he jealous of the growth of France?
7054Is it Prussia, whose spoils you accepted at Tilsit after being her ally?"
7054Is it Sweden, from whom you took Finland?
7054Is it because a Roman priest has excommunicated me?
7054Is it the destruction of revolutionary principles?
7054Is it the form of the French Government, which is not hereditary but simply elective?
7054Is it the interests of religion and of the Church?
7054Is not all peaceful around you?
7054Is that prince become quite mad?
7054Is there no other means of arriving at a mutual understanding?
7054Kutusof, whom he does not like, because he is too Russian?
7054Let me know if the constitution forbids the King of Spain to be at the head of 300,000 Frenchmen?
7054May I write to say that they can reckon on your sister?
7054Must I send Citizen Portalis to Sinnamari, and Citizen Devaisne to Madagascar, and then must I make for myself a Babeuf council?
7054Must I send away into exile 10,000 old men, who only ask to be allowed to live peaceably in obedience to the established laws?
7054Must I strike these because they are priests, those because they are old nobles?
7054Now we have arrived at this point: Do you want peace or war?
7054Ought your Majesty then to leave this new prey to be devoured by the English?
7054She alone is worthy of him, why should he be afraid of her?
7054She wishes to frighten me?..."
7054Since the peace of Presburg, has there been the slightest disagreement between you and me?
7054The English embark in force; what do they want?
7054The Spanish alone had resisted him successfully; how were they to keep up and continue the resistance?
7054The emperor advanced suddenly towards him:"Austria wishes, then, to make war against us?
7054The emperor called Murat:"Wilt thou let us be annihilated by these people?"
7054The emperor, coming up to him, exclaimed,"Do you know where Villeneuve is?
7054The liberty of the negroes?
7054The prince responded with bitter irony,"Your protection?
7054To what end?
7054War is then made between us, the alliance broken forever; but why make our subjects kill each other?
7054Was it ceaselessly offered for his desires, like a fruit to which he could not stretch forth his hand without being in danger of death?
7054Was the intention to deprive us of some resources?
7054What advantage should I derive from making war?
7054What are the Emperor Alexander''s intentions?
7054What can you desire?
7054What did our own Charles V. do in Germany and Italy, and in Spain itself?
7054What did they say?
7054What does England do.--this ally so powerful?
7054What inconvenience if somehow or other you appear yourself?
7054What inconvenience will there be in the Pope being subject to me, now that Europe knows no other master?"
7054What kind of letter, M. Morla, did you write to that general?
7054What might be the effect of an exchange of such insults-- of this protection and this encouragement accorded to assassins?"
7054What punishment can be inflicted on him?"
7054What right had you, on other grounds, to use such language?
7054What shall be taught to the young ladies who are to be educated at Écouen?
7054What then can those in the cabinet of your Majesty allege in favor of the continuation of hostilities?
7054What trouble is there in putting my strongholds, Antwerp, Ostend, and Lille, in a state of siege?
7054What trouble is there in raising 60,000 of the national guard?
7054What trouble is there in sending the Prince of Pontecorvo to take the command there, where there is nobody?
7054What will she do when Portugal shall be taken?
7054What?
7054When 25,000 English are attacking our dockyards and threatening our provinces, is the ministry doing nothing?
7054When do you set out?"
7054Who can, here below, relieve subjects from their oath of obedience to the sovereign instituted by the laws?
7054Who is the successor of Pericles?
7054Who knows but that he might have time enough yet( if forced to attempt it) to change the face of Europe, and resuscitate the Empire of the West?"
7054Who thinks of killing him,_ bon Dieu_?
7054Why do they not counsel your Majesty to make war on the English, the Muscovites, and the Prussians?
7054Why does she think we are degenerated?
7054Why have you not informed the_ préfets_?"
7054Why?
7054Will she go to seize Brazil?
7054Will they refuse it me at the extremity of Europe, 500 leagues from my native land?"
7054With a naval war?
7054With what war could they threaten us?
7054Without capital, without income, without money, what can I do?
7054Would England stir up a continental war?
7054Would an ambitious man, or a conspirator, have let slip the opportunity when at the head of an army of 100,000 men so often victorious?
7054Would she cede a part of it?
7054Would you believe it that, in this interval, he has never changed his shirt, and has a beard seven inches long?
7054Would you sacrifice the cause of sovereigns and of all fathers, and permit an outrage to be done to the majesty of the throne?
7054Yet what would be said in Paris?
7054You, Citizen Defermon, do n''t they take you for a partisan of the Bourbons?
7054Your Majesty is called upon to judge between the father and son: which part will you take?
7054_ Cur igitur pacem nolo?
7054_ Q._ Are there no special motives which strengthen our attachment to Napoleon I., our emperor?
7054_ Q._ What are our obligations towards our magistrates?
7054_ Q._ What ought we to think of those who fail in their duty towards our emperor?
7054_ Q._ Why are we bound to perform all those duties towards our emperor?
7054and what do you want here?"
7054cried he,"what will be said of us who counselled our prince to come hither?"
7054if the constitution prohibits the garrison from being French, and the governor of Madrid a Frenchman?
7054if the constitution says that in Saragossa the houses are to be blown up one after another?
7054said Napoleon;"and what is going on over there?"
7054said he,"would you want to make me a pig in a dunghill?"
7054to Berlin, to Warsaw, to St. Petersburg?
7054what would become of France during that long absence, without possible communication?
7054whence draw their war supplies, having nothing but provisions for a short time?
7054where could they rally?
7054where transport their wounded?
7054would a hero surrounded with so much glory descend to the basest of perfidies?"
7054wrote Aviau, Bishop of Bordeaux, to one of his friends;"who has given him the mission?
18094A congress has just been spoken of,said he;"what, then, is this conspiracy formed against us?
18094And why not?
18094Are there circumstances,said he"in which the natural rights of man can permit a nation to adopt any measure against emigrations?"
18094But do you not see,resumed Isnard;"that all counter- revolutionists are obstinate, and leave you no other part than that of vanquishing them?
18094But shall we await the orders of the war office to destroy thrones? 18094 By what fatality does this news coincide with a moment when emigrations are redoubled?
18094Do you fear to degrade royalty by handing over the king and queen to ordinary tribunals? 18094 Do you not see the coalition of these men with the king, and the king with the European league?
18094Does not every citizen gain twenty sous by the suppression of the civil list? 18094 Entrusted with the representation of a free people, will you destroy the work we have perfected?
18094Frenchmen,exclaimed he,"will you, a nation of brave men, become a people of murderers?"
18094Has your majesty any orders to give me?
18094How can the republic hope to avoid destruction? 18094 Hussars,"exclaimed he, imprudently,"are you for the nation or the king?"
18094Is he a fool-- is he a confederate? 18094 Is it not amusing,"said he, addressing his colleagues,"to see the executive power demanding the means of action from the legislators?
18094Is then the blood that flows so pure?
18094My pardon,said she;"at what price can you purchase it?
18094Perhaps,added Gensonné,"this idea has germinated in France?
18094Sir,replied the queen, with a look of incredulity,"is it necessary then to be a prince in order to pretend to the throne?"
18094Such rigour might perchance cost an effusion of blood? 18094 We are reproached with having voted the effusion of human blood in a moment of enthusiasm; but is it to- day only that we are provoked?
18094We are told''the emigrés have no evil designs against their country; it is only a temporary absence: where are the legal proofs of what you assert? 18094 What are my crimes?
18094What do these men mean?
18094What do they call that hymn?
18094What harm have they done you?
18094What has been the result of the decree of yesterday?
18094What have I to fear in the midst of my people?
18094What is it,exclaimed Robespierre,"that the committees propose to us?
18094What means this obsequious exception?
18094Where is the_ veto_?
18094Who is the dastard who himself in order to insult the grief of a brother?
18094Who knows,said he, to M. de Malesherbes, with a melancholy smile,"whether I shall behold the sun set to- morrow?"
18094Why do we see this ferocity among the_ intrigants_ against Robespierre?
18094Why do you complain?
18094Why these unusual honours, and this reply of the president to the minister?
18094Why,asked Brissot"should we divide ourselves into dangerous denominations?
18094Why,returned Guadet,"do you talk of disobedience to the law, when you have so often disobeyed it yourself?
18094Would you imply that the_ bonnet_ of patriots is a disgraceful mark for a king''s brow?
18094You are going to the army?
18094''What,''the court asked itself,''is the aim of all these men?
18094A few factious?
18094Against whom think you that you have to strive?
18094Ah, what crime had these females, these massacred babes, committed?
18094All inquired what was the secret of the growing ascendency of this man?
18094Am I guilty of the extravagance of such an excited writer as Marat?"
18094Amidst all these events, so favourable to a factious man, what was my behaviour?
18094Amongst what people should I be received?
18094And Delissart, who is he?
18094And at what moment do they throw division amongst us?
18094And have you calculated the blood they will cost you to obtain?
18094And how could the ministers and ambassadors of the Revolution have been ignorant of its existence?
18094And if there were no Brutus, where is the man who has ten times the ability of Cromwell?
18094And the high court of Orleans,"continued Huguenin,"what is that doing?--where are the heads of those it should have doomed to death?"
18094And the minister for foreign affairs, who is he?
18094And when I forget mine, can any one remember his perils?
18094Are politicians theologians?
18094Are they ministers of the Catholic worship?
18094Are you then ignorant that a priest can effect more mischief than all your enemies?
18094Besides, is not war the hope of the enemies of the Revolution?
18094Brissot opened the question as Pétion had done at the preceding sitting,"_ Can a perjured king be brought to trial_(_ jugé_)?
18094But if you do not make use of it, will not more blood flow?
18094But what should these measures be?
18094But where is he?
18094But, because exceptional, are these laws therefore unjust?
18094By what fatality did Brissot find himself there?
18094Can knights of the poignard be any thing but the enrolled assassins of the people?
18094Can patience endure this without becoming guilty of suicide?
18094Can this venal race resist such arguments?"
18094Can we hesitate to attack them?
18094Can you see any guilt in them?
18094Could there have been such injurious suspicions against you in July, 1791?
18094Did Cato and Cicero accuse Cethegus or Catiline?
18094Did Cato and Cicero proceed against Cethegus or Catiline?
18094Did Laclos and Sillery, who were about to seek a throne for the Duc d''Orleans their master, in the faubourgs, distribute his gold there?
18094Do we then pretend to be the first nation which has no dregs?
18094Do you believe that Cromwell himself would have succeeded in a revolution like ours?
18094Do you know any price on earth capable of purchasing it?"
18094Do you know who are its bitterest enemies?
18094Do you know why?
18094Do you not see that specie is disappearing and assignats are discredited?
18094Do you remember the history of the Greeks, where a first revolution not terminated produced so many others during a period of only half a century?
18094Do you require from me any other sacrifice?
18094Does not this contrast alarm you?
18094Does the state recognise any other Catholicity than its own?
18094Forfeiture for the national utility, and that of the human race, was evidently one of its principles, and yet how did it act?
18094Frenchmen, was this the result you looked for from your regeneration?
18094Had we alone kept our king to expose him to the insults and derision of the people''s representatives?
18094Has not this the appearance of a vast plan combined by treason?"
18094Have I ever professed such principles?
18094Have I ever unknowingly done you any injury or offence?"
18094Have I not been, since my acceptance of the constitution, more faithful than the malcontents themselves to my oath?"
18094Have I not chosen patriots for ministers?
18094Have I not rejected succour from without?
18094Have I not repudiated my brothers, and hindered, as far as in me lies, the coalition, and armed the frontiers?
18094Have not I too my sorrows?
18094Have not the relatives of the king, who still remain in Paris, constantly displayed the purest patriotism?
18094Have they not themselves abjured all their titles for one only-- that of citizen?
18094Have those who have planned them, well weighed this?
18094Have we then laboured at the most glorious of revolutions for so many years to see it overthrown in a single day?
18094Have you then two scales of weights and measures?
18094He was asked,"How did you receive it?"
18094How can order be again established if those interested in it abandon it by abandoning themselves?
18094How can the citizens fear you, when the impunity of their chiefs insures their own?
18094How can we inscribe on the banners of this fête,_ Bouillé is alone guilty_?
18094How can you escape Antony?"
18094How comes it that the king in his proclamation uses the same language as yourself?
18094How long have a protector or a protectorate been talked of?
18094How long shall we suffer ourselves to be fatigued by these manoeuvres-- to be outraged by these hopes?
18094How shall we be looked upon?
18094How, then, is the honour of Paris interested in_ fêting_ the murderers of our brothers?
18094However, is it not possible to suppose that there are patriots amongst them?
18094I ask you, whether the king demanded a decree to regulate the etiquette of his household when he received your deputation?
18094I said to my comrade,''Guillaume, are you a good patriot?''
18094If liberty slumbers, how can the arm act?
18094If the head sleeps, shall the arm act?
18094If you call the flight of the king a misfortune, by what name would you then denominate a counter- revolution that would deprive you of liberty?"
18094If your armies combat abroad, who will repress faction at home?
18094In whose hands are arms?
18094Is it a question of preservation, of reproduction, of development in that kind of slow and insensible growth which people have like vast vegetables?
18094Is it for the National Assembly to reunite the divided sects, and weigh all their differences?
18094Is it not he who has for two months kept in his portfolio the decree of the reunion of Avignon with France?
18094Is it those you would thus brand?
18094Is not civil war a still greater misfortune?
18094Is not the head of the people worth that of kings?
18094Is not the truth already sufficiently guilty because it is the truth?
18094Is this man less redoubtable because he is at this time at the head of the army?
18094It is proposed to you to grant to all individuals of the royal family the title of prince, and to deprive them of the rights of a citizen?
18094It is true that the magistrates demand force to put them down: but what should you do in such circumstances?
18094La Fayette have been torn to pieces as a traitor, and the national guard disbanded?
18094Let civic crowns strew your paths, though we remain; but where shall we find a Brutus?"
18094Let us say to him, Behold the most powerful throne in the universe-- will you accept it?
18094Mahometans to invoke their prophet?
18094Moreover, in what state would Paris be?
18094Must the blood of patriots flow with impunity to satisfy the pride and ambition of the perfidious château of the Tuileries?
18094Must we pay consciences which push them to the extremity of crime against their country?
18094Of what consequence is it that one religion differs from another?
18094Oh you who use such language, why were you not in the Roman senate when Cicero denounced Catiline?
18094On whom can we demand revenge?
18094Ought we not to pardon the circumstances?
18094Ought you now to ally yourself to the enemies or the friends of the constitution?
18094Poor Brissot, thou art the victim of a court valet, of a base hypocrite!--why lend thy paw to La Fayette?
18094Pour qui ces ignobles entraves Ces fers dès longtemps preparés?
18094Que veut cette horde d''esclaves, De traîtres, de rois conjurés?
18094Shall we await the signal of the court?
18094Shall we be commanded by these patricians, these eternal favourites of despotism, in this war against aristocrats and kings?
18094Soldiers of Châteauvieux, where are you?
18094Such a course would be the contradiction to the monarchy: how could it attempt it?
18094The head of the executive power has betrayed his oath,--must we bring him to judgment?
18094The nation supports them: is not that enough?
18094The queen saw this:"You weep, sir?"
18094The queen, struck by the contrast between the rage of this young girl and the gentleness of her face, said to her in a kind tone,"Why do you hate me?
18094Their dictatorship appears to them indispensable to save the nation; and what is a dictatorship but a republic?
18094To what extent, I ask, shall such strange tolerance be permissible?
18094To whom does it intrust the safety of the people?
18094Was it the error of those principles-- was it the fault of the Constituent Assembly?
18094Was the real solution of this enigma ambition or patriotism, weakness or conspiracy?
18094What are your labours, your writings?
18094What are your ministers doing?
18094What avails a throne?
18094What distance was there between the steel of twenty thousand pikes and the heart of Louis XVI.?
18094What do I say?
18094What do they do?
18094What do they want who are here hostile to the republicans?
18094What do they want who boast of the name of republicans?
18094What have you done?
18094What interest can I have in making the people miserable?
18094What is La Fayette doing,--is he a dupe or an accomplice?
18094What is that honour more than virtue and love of country?
18094What is the committee?
18094What is the use of seeking titles for them?
18094What is this war?
18094What is to be hoped from the success of manoeuvres carried on with foreigners, in order to restore the authority of the throne?
18094What means the assemblings on your frontier of emigrants and armed bodies, who are advancing to enclose you in a circle of iron?
18094What other arm but that of the whole people could stir what it has to stir?--displace what it has to displace?--install what it desires to found?
18094What passed at the Tuileries during these decisive hours?
18094What proofs against the priest do we require?
18094What service do they render?
18094What should be the nature of such a law?
18094What then have you to do?
18094What was M. de Bouillé doing during this long and agonising night the king passed at Varennes?
18094What, gentlemen, would you transform into arbitrary proscribers the founders of liberty?
18094What, shall attack be permitted to the emigrés, and good citizens forbidden to defend themselves?
18094When it has been a question of suspending the exercise of the royal authority itself, what has been the language addressed to you from this tribune?
18094When we place ourselves in imagination in the position of Louis XVI., and ask what could have saved him?
18094When you suppressed the title of prince, what happened?
18094When, in our times, the Philadelphians would be free, have we not also seen war in the two hemispheres?
18094Whence arises this surprise of the patriots?
18094Whence arose this sudden decomposition?
18094Where he came from?
18094Where is it now?
18094Where was he when I was defending this society from the Jacobins against the Constituent Assembly itself?
18094Where was this aristocracy in 1791?
18094Where would you be, where this tribune, were it not for these gentlemen?
18094Which of these two testimonies are we to believe?
18094Whither he was advancing?
18094Whither would you have me retire?
18094Who are those who now dart such threatening glances at me?
18094Who are you who dare to slander this great man?
18094Who can foresee how far will extend the punishment of those tyrants who have forced you to take arms?"
18094Who can imagine that the race of Brutus is extinct?
18094Who command your troops?
18094Who demands crowns for the assassins of the soldiers of Châteauvieux?
18094Who had administered it?
18094Who he was?
18094Who hold the keys of your strong places?
18094Who is the minister?
18094Who knows if to- day, although more lucky, I should be as well used by fortune?"
18094Who prevented me from speaking?
18094Who shall say we ought to endow it?"
18094Who sought to stifle the revolt at Nancy, and cover it with an impenetrable veil?
18094Who would dare to dethrone the constitutional king?
18094Who would dare to place the crown on his head?
18094Who would give orders?
18094Why are we asked to submit to the acceptance of the king?
18094Why does he leave free the avenues of the palace, which is only opened for vengeance or flight?
18094Why had they concealed from the nation their knowledge, if they had known it?
18094Why has he been so tardy in leaving a system of hypocrisy?
18094Why have we these phalanx of priests, who have abjured their ministry?
18094Why is not the property of emigrants confiscated, their houses burnt, their heads set at a price?
18094Why should we pay this army of dependents from the funds of the nation?
18094Why was this impulse fated to have birth in the department of the Gironde and not in Paris?
18094Why, on the evening of this expedition to Vincennes, did you protect in the Tuileries assassins armed with poignards to favour the king''s escape?
18094Why?
18094Will it be when French blood has at last stained the waves of the sea, that you will become sensible of the dangers of indulgence?
18094Will you abandon them to their enemies?"
18094Will you let him remain a prisoner, exposed to every insult at the hands of the national guards?
18094Will you replace liberty by a reign of tyranny?
18094Would he abandon the_ rôle_ of the French Washington when he had half fulfilled it?
18094Would he now resist should the people again command him?
18094Would it be possible that they should not deceive us?
18094Would not the cry of treason have been the first signal of alarm?
18094Would you check this revolt?
18094Would you have allowed his inviolability to have saved him?
18094Would you, in the name of tolerance, again create an inquisition which would not have, like the other, the excuse of fanaticism?
18094Yes; but where are the proofs?
18094You have shaken off the yoke of tyrants; surely, then, you will not bow the knee to foreign despots?
18094and against what, if not against the Revolution?
18094and is it by such outrages that liberty hopes to render herself acceptable to the throne?
18094and the blood spilled in that city, the mutilated carcases of so many victims, do they not cry to us for vengeance against him?
18094ascend the throne of a Catholic nation at the head of a Protestant party?"
18094ces phalanges mercenaires Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers?
18094des cohortes étrangères Feraient la loi dans nos foyers?
18094had deserved well from his people; who well can dare to censure so magnanimous a condescension?
18094hast thou stricken kings with blindness?
18094he inquired of Boze;"Have I not done all that they advise?
18094how can you dare to propose it to me?
18094how is it possible that so many of the royal family could have passed the gates-- the guards-- without connivance?"
18094how will a nation that does not respect its hereditary chief, respect its elected representatives?
18094is that indeed the last which thy race shall obtain?"
18094of what honour do they talk to us?
18094or see in this indifferent and cruel nation a people worthy of empire and of liberty?
18094said the Girondist, Lasource;"will it not be believed that we are uneasy as to the king''s safety?
18094the rabbin to make his burnt- offerings?
18094to what extent, I ask also, will you push despotism and persecution?
18094what are you doing?"
18094what would have happened there at the unexpected announcement of the king''s departure?
18094when the rebels assembled on our frontiers warn us of an approaching outbreak?
18094when, in fact, the colonies threaten us, through an illegal deputation, with withdrawing from the rule of the mother- country?
18094where is the Austrian woman?_"Some ringleaders advanced from the ranks every moment to utter louder threats and menaces of death to the king.
18094who would execute them?
18094why did I take you from your country to associate you with the ignominy of such a day?"
3580Admiral Bruix,said the Emperor in a tone showing great excitement,"why have you not obeyed my orders?"
3580Ah, well, what have I to do with that?
3580Ah, well, what were you doing there in your room all by yourself? 3580 Answer me, what has become of Vandamme?"
3580Are you asleep, Constant?
3580But how can we follow him?
3580But if the grenadiers begin to hiss like the others?
3580Good- day, Mother Marguerite,said his Majesty, saluting the old woman;"so you are not curious to see the Emperor?"
3580Have there not been enough killed?
3580Have you any children?
3580I will do well?
3580I wish this statue removed; do you hear, Monsieur Fontaine? 3580 In order that the earth should produce, it is necessary that it should be turned up, is it not so?
3580In what regiment?--"Sire?"
3580Is it because I am a king,he said one day,"that you are afraid to say thou to me?
3580Is not that the bishop?
3580Is that all?
3580It surely can not be you who made shoes for me at the l''ecole militaire?
3580Look,said one,"do you see the Little Corporal down there?"
3580Monsieur Constant,said he,"do you know what are the three capitals of the French Empire?"
3580Monsieur,replied the Emperor, more and more irritated,"I gave the orders; once again, why have you not executed them?
3580My husband is asleep, why do you come to disturb his glorious rest?
3580See here,said he,"since when did chickens begin to have only one wing and one leg?
3580See how you are,said the First Consul,"always sick and complaining; and if you stay here, who then will shave me?"
3580That reminds me,continued the First Consul, addressing his colleague,"when is your brother going to take possession of his see of Rouen?
3580These gentlemen are with you?
3580To how much does the loss amount?
3580Unfortunately, Sire,said he among other things,"I am too old to long enjoy your Majesty''s reign or profit by your kindness."--"YOU?"
3580Viewed from a political standpoint, how would the papal government in these days appear compared with the great kingdoms of Europe? 3580 Well, Louise, you are disgusted with me?"
3580Well, my children, what do you think of the wine?
3580Well,continued the First Consul,"has the harvest been fine this year?"
3580What do you come to ask here?
3580What do you think of it?
3580What does that wagon contain?
3580What is it?
3580What is it?
3580What is that?
3580What is the nature of the occupation which has detained you in Moscow?
3580What is your father''s name?
3580What shall we gain,said he,"by doubling this fort?
3580What,cried he,"do you not recognize me?"
3580Where is he, then?
3580Who knows,said he,"what terrible confusion might be produced by such news?
3580Why did you quit the service?
3580Why give that?
3580Why, what is the matter?
3580You believe in glory, then?
3580You feel better, do you not? 3580 You think that she would refuse me?"
3580''General, First Consul,''cried the frightened cardinal,''it is not a red hat, but a red cap, which that man should have?''
3580''That is true, Sire,''replied the Prince Primate I was mistaken; but how does it happen that your Majesty is so well acquainted with these matters?''
3580--"Ah, Monsieur, unless we had twenty louis, we would not be above want; but what chance is there of our ever having twenty louis?"
3580--"And Monsieur Colin, how much has he?"
3580--"And why do n''t he do so now?"
3580--"And you?"
3580--"But after all,"said the Emperor eagerly,"what is the opinion of the Duke of Bassano?"
3580--"But how much, my good woman, how much would be necessary?"
3580--"But how would you have succeeded in, striking me?"
3580--"Can you tell me the name of your general- in- chief?"
3580--"Certainly, I see that very plainly, Citizen General; but why are you mustering them?"
3580--"Do you not see him in his launch?"
3580--"Do you think they heard me?"
3580--"Do you wish to leave me, Eugene?
3580--"Duroc?
3580--"How long have you been a soldier?"
3580--"How much do you make me pay for my shoes?"
3580--"How much of each?"
3580--"How much would it take,"replied his Majesty,"to make you perfectly happy?"
3580--"I can then rely upon what you tell me?"
3580--"I, Sire?
3580--"I, Sire?"
3580--"I, my Lord, have me arrested?
3580--"My glory,"interrupted the marshal eagerly;"do you wish me to speak frankly?
3580--"Reply, I order you; was it you?"
3580--"Shall we leave you to the enemy?"
3580--"Suppose I pardoned you?"
3580--"Then, what makes you dodge your head?"
3580--"Very well, indeed, Rata; and you?"
3580--"Well, why have you put me in the place of the god of war?"
3580--"Well, you are not asleep, then?"
3580--"What can you have to say to me, you crater of Vesuvius?
3580--"What is the matter?"
3580--"What is your name, Madame?"
3580--"What matters that?
3580--"What was it?
3580--"Where did it fall?"
3580--"Why have you no cross?"
3580--"Why is that?"
3580--"You admire him greatly?"
3580--"you are a Frenchman, then?"
3580A peasant, seeing him thus some distance from his suite, cried out to him familiarly,"Oh, citizen, is the Emperor going to pass soon?"
3580According to one of the habitual expressions of the Emperor, the pear was ripe; but who was to gather it?
3580After the colonel had replied, he addressed himself to all the other officers, saying,"Who is the bravest among you?"
3580All these dangers in no wise- depressed the Emperor; and he had a habit of saying,"What have I to fear?
3580Am I not here?"
3580An Inhabitant.--"Is it true, as I am told, that the condition of affairs is so bad?"
3580And how could you have hoped to escape, after you had struck me thus in the midst of my soldiers?"
3580And noticing the fine resistance and majestic maneuvers of a frigate, he asked,"Can you believe, my children, that captain is English?
3580And when the grand marshal appeared, his Majesty inquired,"Who is the idiot that could have conceived such an idea?
3580And you, my dear, what did you do all the evening?"
3580Are we not old acquaintances, we two?"
3580Are you content?"
3580Are you not my chief architect?"
3580Are you supporting them also?"
3580Are you sure you have a good driver?
3580As soon as his Majesty saw a domino similar to the one the femme de chambre had described, he pressed my arm and said,"Is that she?"
3580At last I concluded to shake him gently; and at this the Emperor awoke with a loud cry, saying,"What is it?
3580At such a tender age could he have been conscious of his uncle''s superiority to all those who surrounded him?
3580But what do you mean by your English?
3580But what is there for me to say here of a man whose name in history will never be separated from that of the Emperor?
3580Can he be dead?"
3580Can he stand that ordeal?
3580Can it be implicitly believed?
3580Can it be possible to see anything equal to what we have seen?
3580Come, now, is there any need of formality between friends?"
3580Could Paris hold out long enough for him to crush the enemy against its walls?
3580Do you believe that, Constant?
3580Do you doubt it?"
3580Do you know it has the finest archiepiscopal palace in France?
3580Do you know what they do?
3580Do you swear it?"
3580Formerly when a highly esteemed actor was kept from his place for some time by illness( and who deserved more esteem than Dazincourt?
3580General Rapp seized the man by the arm, and said to him,"Monsieur, you have already been ordered away; what do you want?"
3580Has imagination ever dreamed anything wilder than this?
3580Have I not also critics who do not spare me?
3580Have you ever seen a foot like that?
3580Have you no mother?
3580Have you nothing to give me?"
3580He approached the soldier and said to him,"Is this, then, all that you have to say to me?"
3580He has not done it very badly, has he?
3580He recognized him instantly as having seen him in the army of Italy, and approaching him, said,"Well, my brave fellow, why have you not the cross?
3580He should not be more sensitive than I?"
3580He stopped in surprise, and addressed to the deputy his familiar inquiry,"Who are you?"
3580He tried to steal away; but the First Consul cried in a loud voice,"Who goes there?
3580He was necessarily struck by the contrast; but was there not some injustice at the foundation of this?
3580He, a good, simple, modest man living his retired life, what could the minister of general police desire of him?
3580His Majesty could hardly believe what he read and heard; and I, with several other persons, heard him exclaim,"What, he is coming here?
3580His Majesty was very angry, and said,"Has any one ever seen anything equal to these big heads?
3580His Majesty, who liked to be amused, said to her,"Ah, but why trouble yourself about him?
3580How are you?"
3580How can I believe in the good faith of those people?
3580How can such an immense superiority of numbers be indefinitely resisted?
3580How can this be doubted after the event which I here describe?
3580How could he dare to present himself before the Emperor?
3580How could such a beautiful character fail to make this angel beloved by all who knew him?
3580How is he succeeding?
3580How many models have you seen worthy of Canova or of David?"
3580How will he get out of this, the poor Emperor, whom I love so devotedly?
3580If there are abuses to be remedied, is this a time for remonstrances, when two hundred thousand Cossacks are crossing our frontiers?
3580In fact, who has proclaimed the principle of insurrection as a duty?
3580In such cases the Emperor always said,"How can a sovereign have the laws respected if he does not respect them himself?"
3580In these circumstances, I ask of all honest men, what could I do, and what would they have done in my place?
3580In this painful moment can the best of fathers wish to destroy my domestic happiness, the only kind which now remains to me?
3580Is it possible it can be he?"
3580Is it possible the enemy could really enter France?"
3580Is it possible?
3580Is it thus she would have acted if the evil reports spread by her enemies, and those of the Emperor, had had the least foundation?
3580Is that our minister of the navy who has allowed himself to fall in the water?
3580Is the carriage in good condition?"
3580Is there too much vanity in what I have just said?
3580It is not long enough for me to make you an officer, is it?
3580Larrey?"
3580Let us know; what are these conditions?"
3580Look here, what would you do to- morrow if the Little Corporal was killed?"
3580M. Yvan drew near, and the Emperor said to him,"Do you believe the dose was strong enough?"
3580Many times a day he exclaimed,"How far are we from such a town?
3580Must they then let all these men perish after most horrible sufferings, for lack of means to convey them to Dresden?
3580No, no?
3580Once only his Majesty broke the silence by a deep sigh, followed by these words addressed to one of the officers:"What time is it?"
3580One day the Emperor, meeting him at Berlin, said to him,"Well, Bisson, do you still drink much?"
3580One such poetical effusion was enough to provoke laughter( and can you blame her?
3580Or did it not rather arise from the certainty of no longer fearing it in his bed more than on the battlefield?
3580Paralyzed by the necessary consequences of the Revolution, could she have risen again and maintained her position?
3580Pillage?
3580Several Voices.--"But what, then, shall we do?"
3580That is extraordinary; what, sir, seize enfants?"
3580That sounds well, does it not?"
3580The Emperor awaited daylight in a poor hut, and in the morning said to Prince Berthier,"Well, Berthier, how can we get out of this?"
3580The Emperor exclaimed with inconceivable joy,"Can it be true?"
3580The Emperor interrupted his work to regard her:"I did not take long at my toilet, did I?"
3580The Emperor, having been informed of it by others than myself, said to me one morning at his toilet,"Constant, I owe you indemnity."--"Sire?"
3580The Emperor, much surprised, exclaimed,"What the devil does this foolish creature want with me?"
3580The Emperor, to increase his embarrassment, said to him,"Do you like chocolate, Monsieur le Duc?"
3580The Empress alone kept silence; and noticing this the Emperor said to her,"Louise, have you nothing to say to poor Constant?"
3580The Inhabitant.--"But how, then, will all this end?"
3580The brave chief of the''Philadelphi'', the pure Oudet, has been assassinated, and who is worthy to take his place?
3580The child passed through without saluting any one, when the prince stopped him and said,"Will you not tell me goodmorning?"
3580The next morning on entering as usual the First Consul''s room, to his customary questions,"What o''clock is it?
3580The soldiers were accustomed to say that four words formed the basis of the Polish language,--kleba?
3580The surgeon of this town advanced to thank the Emperor; and his Majesty examining him attentively said to him,"You have served in the army, Monsieur?"
3580Then recognizing the young lady, after having scrutinized her features more closely, he added in very evident anger,"Ah, is it you again?
3580Then turning to M. Fontaine, he continued,"Monsieur Fontaine, was my statue in the design which was presented to you?"
3580This was a more crushing blow to me than the first, and I foresaw the consequences with horror; what would be said, what would be thought, of me?
3580To those who have lived, like myself, amid the conquests and wonders of the Empire, what is left to- day?
3580Was his genius as benumbed as his body?
3580Was it the result of his satisfaction at having escaped death, which a momentary despair had made him desire?
3580Was the Emperor really so overwhelmed by his evil fortune?
3580What costume must he wear?
3580What could I hope for in France, where I had no right to anything?
3580What could he reply to the deposition of the gendarmes who had arrested him in the very act?
3580What could he reply when asked wherefore, and with what motive, he had been found alone in the night, armed with a sword, in the thickest of the wood?
3580What do they think of that in Paris?"
3580What do you want?
3580What has become of the marshal?"
3580What has he done to be thus treated?"
3580What have you to fear?
3580What is it?"
3580What is the weather?"
3580What is your name?"
3580What is your salary?"
3580What was to be done?
3580What would become of her?
3580What would the enemy say?
3580When do we arrive at Breslau?"
3580When the conquerors are dying of famine, what becomes of the conquered?
3580When the fire was hottest, the band played the air,''Where can one be better than in the bosom of his family?''
3580Where are you going?
3580Where is he?"
3580Where would the war end if the Russians fell back now?
3580Wherever I am, am I not in my own house?"
3580While I was undressing him the evening before, he said, pinching my ear,"Well, Monsieur Constant, what will you give me for my present?"
3580Who comes there?"
3580Who could believe it?
3580Who has not heard of the hardest drinker in all the army?
3580Who has ordered you to beat the alarm?"
3580Who has paid adulation to the nation while claiming for it a sovereignty which it was incapable of exercising?
3580Who was, then, the important personage struck by a French cannonball?
3580Who will be a father to him when I die?
3580Who will rear him, and who will make a man of him?"
3580Who, then, eats half of my supper?"
3580Whose picture is this?"
3580Why could they not wait a little?"
3580Why did you wish to kill me?"
3580Why is he not here?
3580Will they abandon them in misfortune?
3580Will you swear to sacrifice even your lives in their defense, and to keep them always by your valor in the path to victory?
3580Would my word be taken?
3580Would she not allow him to go and wade in the mud?"
3580Would you have done it?"
3580Would you like to lie down a little while?
3580You have heard from me lately?"
3580You know which it is?"
3580You?
3580Your Majesty can see this as well as I; are you willing to uselessly risk the lives of so many brave men?"
3580about what?"
3580added he, smiling,"do not people speak evil of me also?
3580added he, smiling;"does the site appear well chosen?"
3580already awake, Colas?"
3580and have no fear of afflicting and destroying beings who are so dear to you?"
3580and would not the chamberlains have a right to be vexed by it?
3580but do you understand that this is the revenue of one of my communes?
3580but doubtless-- why?"
3580forward, my brave cuirassiers?"
3580is it you, my dear master?"
3580niema;"bread?
3580said his Majesty, waking with a start;"what o''clock is it?
3580said his Majesty,"have you arrived, Madame?
3580said his Majesty;"what is there to fear?
3580said the Emperor,"who can desire it more than I?
3580said they,"Must we all share the same fate?"
3580sara;"water?
3580so it was you, was it?"
3580there is none;"voia?
3580vehemently inquired the Emperor;"what has happened?"
3580what have you done?"
3580what were you doing in the Faubourg Saint Germain?
3580what-- I see--do you mean to insult me, you questioner?
3580who can desire it more than I?
3580why did n''t you come with me?"
3580will they follow us everywhere?"
3580will you never let me alone?"
3580would the matter be carried as far as that?"
18113Above all,said he to him,"no pillage?
18113And what is the end of so many exertions? 18113 And what would he have had to fight?
18113And who contests your power?
18113And with what means? 18113 And you have no wish to be a prisoner of state?"
18113But France,said the Emperor,"what would France say?"
18113But why employ this stranger? 18113 But why, in the absence of orders from Napoleon, had not that precaution been taken by the commanders, all of them kings, princes, and marshals?
18113But,said he to him at last,"has your church been burned?"
18113Can you not see,said he to them,"that as I was not born upon a throne, I must support myself on it, as I ascended it, by my renown?
18113Did he wish to know the opinion of the army? 18113 Do you hear, soldiers?"
18113Eugene and the army of Italy, and this long day of baffled expectation, had they then terminated together?
18113From Wilna to Moscow what submission, what point of support, rest or retreat, marks his power? 18113 Had he not already in some measure quitted Europe?
18113Had the Russians anticipated him? 18113 Had the coldness of the Lithuanians infected him?
18113How could it be expected that with twenty- eight thousand men he could so long keep sixty thousand in check? 18113 How was it possible, moreover, to avoid seeing that in this war every thing was to be feared, even our allies?
18113If provisions failed at Witepsk, what would be the case farther on? 18113 Is Napoleon unwilling to allow that Kutusoff''s attack may be bolder and more skilful than his own had been?
18113Is it then a battle?
18113Then I suppose I am in your way?
18113To sum up all[11], what would be the result of so many conquests? 18113 Was it not notorious, that all the elements protected these countries from the first of October to the first of June?
18113Was the danger then so pressing? 18113 What do you require more?
18113What had brought him to Wilna? 18113 What is war?
18113What say you?
18113What then do you expect from our zeal? 18113 What, then, should he wait for at Witepsk?
18113What, then, was the object of this war? 18113 Who are you?"
18113Who were they? 18113 Why were they to be kept back?
18113Will any one believe that he wished to give time to the artillerymen to shoe their horses against the ice? 18113 --What do I hear?"
18113--"What signifies my brother?"
18113--"What then is to be done?"
18113And for what reason?
18113And in fact did not he share the common danger?
18113And then, when war was kindled in all quarters, how was it possible to avoid it?
18113And who would wish to grow old with it?
18113Are the circumstances still the same?
18113Are they a property of which she has reason to be proud?
18113Are we not still the soldiers of Austerlitz?
18113Are you not mistaken?
18113As soon as he saw him he called out to him,"Whether shall we retreat by Zembin, or go and beat Wittgenstein at Smoliantzy?"
18113As to the weakness and disorganization of the Russian army, nobody believed it; but what could be urged in reply?
18113At that critical moment, Murat ran up to him, and seizing him by the collar, exclaimed,"What are you about?"
18113At the same moment a Russian sentinel called out to them to halt, and demanded who they were?
18113Besides, where was he to stop in a retreat?
18113Both facts and men spoke sufficiently; but what could they teach him?
18113But Napoleon only replied to it by an exclamation of contempt:"Does that man believe himself to be so necessary?
18113But as to Alexander,--who was there to counsel him?
18113But as to Napoleon, what did he owe to him?
18113But should he arrive there in time?
18113But superfluous wrong was committed as well as necessary wrong, for who can stop midway in the commission of evil?
18113But what had they gained by this movement?
18113But what kind of battle?
18113But what would Paris say?
18113But where were its living remnants?
18113But why had he placed his Emperor between him and the enemy?
18113But why not make an appeal to the provinces of the south?
18113Can not that subdue it in its turn?
18113Could that be called conquering it?
18113Could we imagine that we had either tied them up, or paralysed them, by opposing to them the Austrians in the south, and the Prussians in the north?
18113Did he doubt his good fortune, or was he unwilling to contract, in the face of Europe, engagements which he was not sure of being able to fulfil?
18113Did he not already hear the murmurs of his own troops?"
18113Did he pretend to resist him?
18113Did he want the means of wreaking the most horrible retaliation?"
18113Did it become the ambition of Napoleon to denounce the ambition of Alexander?
18113Did not Napoleon hear their discontented kings murmuring that they were only his prefects?
18113Did not the sun of France seem to have followed him to Russia?
18113Did not this tell us that a numerous cavalry was joining them from all quarters, while ours was gradually perishing?
18113Did they imagine he made war from inclination?
18113Do you see that man?
18113Does he despise my alliance?"
18113Does he expect to teach me?"
18113Does he fancy then that I have need of him?
18113Does he prefer the English to me?
18113Does she delight in displaying them?
18113Does she then believe us to be degenerated?
18113Does there exist a creature ever so diminutive, on every side of which the sun, great as is that luminary, can shine at once?
18113Exchange them?
18113For, in fact, on what more favourable ground could Barclay make a stand?
18113Had Davoust sworn the destruction of the army?
18113Had I at that time accomplished the decrees of fate?
18113Had a single letter from Alexander yet reached him?
18113Had he not used sufficient expedition in that march, the object of which was to pass the left flank of Kutusoff?"
18113Had he then hesitated to follow him, to leave Gallicia, his point of departure, his magazines, and his depôt?
18113Had not all his preparations been dictated by the most clear- sighted foresight?
18113Had not her armies been seen in all parts of Italy, in Germany, and even on the Rhine?
18113Had not one hundred and fifty dragoons of his old guard been surprised and routed, by a number of these barbarians?
18113Had not the winter in Russia been foreseen?
18113Had the retreat of the Russians disconcerted him?
18113Had they lost their way?
18113Had they not had time to spike them, or at least to spoil their ammunition?
18113Had they re- ascended the Düna?
18113Has not his envious and perfidious inaction already betrayed the French army at Auerstadt?
18113He asked Rapp if he thought we should gain the victory?
18113He concluded thus:"Do you dread the war, as endangering my life?
18113He demanded why Napoleon had placed him in such a dangerous and false position at Wagram?
18113He interrogated them: Did their captains take care of them?
18113He would not stop at Paris; how could he then retreat at Wilna?
18113How came it, amidst the noisy acclamations of Europe, that his anxious ear could hear the few solitary voices which disputed his legitimacy?
18113How could men be roused to insurrection, for the sake of a liberty whose very name they did not understand?
18113How is it possible to stop short in the midst of so glorious a career?"
18113How many years''service?
18113If I retreat, what would the Emperor say?
18113If it was necessary to drag every thing along with them, to transport France into Russia, wherefore had they been required to quit France?"
18113If the rest retreated in such good order, proud, and so little discouraged, what signified the gain of a field of battle?
18113If we wanted assistance, there could be none expected by waiting for it; we must go and look for it; but on which side?
18113In such extensive countries, would there ever be any want of ground for the Russians to fight on?
18113In that situation, if Tchitchakof stole a few marches on him, was it at all wonderful?
18113Is it against nature that that aggression should be successful?
18113Is it rather, that after the desire of knowing them, her first wish is to impart her sensations?
18113Is it then the fate of the South to be vanquished by the North?
18113Is the emperor, then, to be no more than a spectator of this expedition?
18113Is the soul, also, proud of her deep and numerous wounds?
18113Is there another coalition preparing?
18113It is true, that all did not stop at that; but when one disorder is authorized, how can others be forbidden?
18113It was not his fortune then that had failed him, but he who had been wanting to his fortune?"
18113Moreover, when the history of great men relates even their last moments, how can I conceal the last sighs of the grand army when it was expiring?
18113Moscow was the general rallying point; how could it be changed?
18113Must he repay a fidelity which had been so cruelly tried, by an act of treachery such as that of taking Norway from her to give to Sweden?"
18113Must the glory of it devolve on Davoust?"
18113Next day, when the emperor reviewed that regiment, he inquired where was its third battalion?
18113Ney listened:"Is this Davoust at last,"he exclaimed,"who has recollected me?"
18113Ney''s officers here interrupted their narrative to inquire in their turn what had passed?
18113No doubt his influence over his men was great, but could it extend beyond nature?
18113Now that the war has returned back to the same spots, will the Russians, whose movements are much more free than ours were then, imitate our error?
18113Of what was he ignorant?
18113On which the Emperor remained for some time in a profound silence; then with a more serious air:"Are all the reports of my ministers burnt?"
18113Ought he to allow Russia time to arm herself entirely?
18113Release them?
18113Shall we stay where we are, or advance?
18113Shall we then recede, when all Europe is looking on and encouraging us?
18113Should they march thither by Kalouga, Medyn or Mojaisk?
18113Should we not have all desired, at that time, to be the heroes whose real or fictitious history we were perusing?
18113The Emperor resumed:"Do you see, sir, this devastated country, these villages in flames?
18113The Lithuanians, it was said, desired our presence; but on what a soil?
18113The emperor rejoined,"Did they take him for a madman?
18113The emperor, uttering an exclamation of sorrow, said to him,"You have heard the news, do you wish to retire?"
18113The service of these men would be, it was said, only temporary; but who could ever wish for their return?
18113Then pointing to a still serene sky, he asked,"if in that brilliant sun they did not recognize his star?"
18113They asked our officers,"if they had not, in their own country, corn enough, air enough, graves enough-- in short, room enough to live and die?
18113They did not even pity them; for, in short, what had they lost by dying?
18113They even went further, and awakened some of his dormant fears:"Was it not Davoust who, after the victory of Jena, drew the emperor into Poland?
18113They first supplied them with clothes and provisions, and then asked them where were their_ corps d''armée_?
18113They had approached nearer to the fire, and could neither retreat nor remain where they were; and how were they to advance?
18113This was no doubt a barbarity too; but what could we do?
18113To feel, and to excite feeling, are not these the most powerful springs of our soul?
18113To what then must we attribute this delay, when famine, disease and the winter, and three hostile armies were gradually surrounding us?
18113To which Napoleon replied,"And if there should be another battle to- morrow, where is my army?"
18113To whom are these disasters to be charged?
18113To whom were complaints to be addressed?
18113True, we had come up with the Russian rear- guard; but was it that of their army?
18113Up to that time, were they not indebted for their wealth to war, which caused all the commerce of France with Europe to pass through their hands?
18113Was he afraid of Austria?
18113Was he still undecided as to the destiny he should bestow upon them?"
18113Was he then going to precipitate himself and his army beyond all those nations whose wounds, for which they were indebted to us, were not yet healed?
18113Was his manoeuvre thwarted?
18113Was it not more likely that Barclay had fled towards Smolensk by way of Rudnia?
18113Was it not rather a method of rendering the Poles and the French, who were mixed with these dangerous allies, entirely useless?
18113Was it our artillery and baggage that had caused this tardiness?
18113Was it possible that at Moscow he should have less ascendancy over Alexander?
18113Was it right to leave the enemy''s fires to destroy what might be saved?
18113Was it that Napoleon, accustomed to the active intelligence of his soldiers, had reckoned too much upon their foresight?
18113Was not Napoleon fleeing?
18113Was not the constant importunity of his letters, and his continual solicitations sufficient?
18113Was not the contemporary, the comrade, the rival of Suwarrow yet living?
18113Was not the fatal moment arrived when this Colossus was about to surround us with his threatening arms?
18113Was not the road to Malo- Yaroslawetz open but the preceding day?
18113Was not the term of Napoleon''s destiny already irrevocably marked?
18113Was the army always to put up with their leavings; and in order to obtain them, was it always to wait till they had glutted themselves?"
18113Was there ever so great a military achievement?
18113Was there not the Russian army, which, as they were told, still numbered four hundred thousand men, to defend them?
18113Weak and famished as they were, how could they support a long and terrible shock?
18113Were the Russians determined to conquer or die?"
18113Were the Russians gone to Smolensk?
18113Were we not leaving our wounded and a multitude of prisoners at his mercy?
18113What are they doing above, then?"
18113What business had we in the burnt and ravaged Smolensk, but to take a supply of provisions and proceed rapidly onwards?
18113What business has the emperor in the rear of the army?
18113What chief could be responsible for the crowd of officers and soldiers who were scattered through the country in order to collect its resources?
18113What chief had ever before so many means of power?
18113What could be said to him, which he had not himself said and written a hundred times?
18113What could be taken from them?
18113What did he care for England?
18113What did he care for the anger of the emperor, and for his decision?
18113What did the Emperor of Russia want with him?
18113What has every one been reckoning upon?
18113What influence could be obtained over a people almost savages, without property, and without wants?
18113What motive then could be so just and so powerful as to inspire him with such astonishing confidence?
18113What necessity was there for his remaining at the head of a routed army?
18113What need had he of him?"
18113What other name would have any attraction?
18113What signified his rank?
18113What signified one unpleasant night?
18113What signified the menacing attitude of the Russians and their impenetrable woods?
18113What spirit of infatuation is it that has seized the whole army as well as its leader?
18113What then urged them into this roving and adventurous life?
18113What vanity could resist a charm of so great potency?
18113What was he going to do; and whatever might be his plan, whither would he direct his steps, without a guide, in an unknown country?
18113What was his reply to the news of the offer of several Swedes, when he himself waited upon him to inform him of it?
18113What was now to be done?
18113What was the cause of the general discouragement?
18113What would Europe think?
18113What would be the effect of this barbarity on the enemy?
18113What would be thought, if it were known that a third of his army, dispersed or sick, were no longer in the ranks?
18113What would they think?
18113What would you do singly by yourselves, and without me?
18113When he exclaimed, therefore,"Is it possible that I have left this man so large a territory?"
18113When his arrival was announced to the emperor, the latter grew angry, and at first refused to see him:--"What did this prince want of him?
18113When they, all of them, only waited a suitable occasion in order to turn against him, why run the risk of giving that occasion birth?"
18113When will its gates at length open?
18113Where are they?
18113Where could they ever halt, in the midst of these level plains, divested of every species of position fortified by nature or by art?
18113Where were now the rapid movements of Marengo, Ulm, and Eckmühl?
18113Where were they?
18113Wherefore communicate those terrible impressions which harrow up the soul?
18113Wherefore do each other useless injury?
18113Wherefore lay waste fresh provinces?
18113Wherefore so many precautions?
18113Which of them all risked so much as he?
18113While I support you, I do myself an injury in the eyes of the people; for what am I but the king of the_ tiers- état_: is not that sufficient?"
18113While boasting of his good fortune, was it not evident that he was insulting their misfortunes?
18113While the French armies covered all Europe, how could the Russians be reproached for increasing their army?
18113Whither, then, must we pursue the Russians, in order to compel them to fight?
18113Who could persuade them to interrupt it, to retrace their steps, and return once more into the darkness and frozen deserts of Russia?
18113Who is there amongst us who, in his early years, has not been fired by the perusal of the warlike exploits of the ancients and of our ancestors?
18113Who is there that can fancy that the great struggle between the North and the South is at an end?
18113Who is there that would not have rushed forward, replete with joy and hope, and disdaining an odious and scandalous repose?
18113Who suffered the greatest loss, in this disaster?
18113Who then was there to defend her?"
18113Who was to punish?
18113Whom had he to oppose to him?
18113Why did he come again to persecute him with his presence?
18113Why did he prefer the union of the three northern crowns on the head of a prince of Denmark?
18113Why did not they send Frenchmen and Poles there?
18113Why had he been trifled with, by sending him bulletins made to deceive the idlers of the capital?
18113Why had we been obstinately deaf to her voice?"
18113Why keep proceeding northward?
18113Why should he seek to_ purchase_ of Fortune what she was so generously giving him?
18113Why so much precipitation to overtake the enemy, with an army panting, exhausted, and weakened?
18113Why so slow and drawling a march on such a critical occasion?
18113Why then did they come so far from home to throw away their lives and to fatten a foreign soil with their blood?"
18113Why then remain around them to perish by battalions, by masses?
18113Why was not that liberty offered to them in 1807?
18113Why was such respect to be paid them?"
18113Why-- when in our rear Borowsk and Vereïa would lead us without danger to Mojaisk-- why reject that safe route?
18113Will not the cutting off Augereau and his brigade upon that road open his eyes?
18113Will they keep in our rear when they can so easily place themselves before us, on the line of our retreat?
18113Will you answer for that?"
18113With what could they be tempted?
18113Would he allow him even to get beyond the frontiers of Russia proper, which loudly called for the sacrifice of this great victim?
18113Would he, Davoust, defend it?
18113Would not the duration of the enterprise augment its danger?
18113Would not the eastern departments profit most by that event?
18113Would not the meditated departure leave her solitary, deserted, without a ruler, without an army, accessible to every diversion?
18113Would these serfs, habituated to the irregularities of war, bring back their former submission?
18113Would they station liberty so near slavery?
18113and is the frightful result of our invasion a fresh proof of it?
18113and knowing that Dodde had just come from the latter position, he asked him if it was approachable?
18113and of what use is the example of the past, in a world where there never were two men, two things, or two situations exactly alike?
18113and why are time and space denied me to relate them?
18113but what need have I of you?
18113desired to know his wishes, exhibit so much indifference?
18113do n''t you see that we belong to the corps of Ouwarof, and that we are going on a secret expedition?"
18113exclaimed he,"do you believe they would dare?"
18113exclaimed the Emperor, clasping his hands,"are you sure you are right?
18113for his having given them wives, if he made them widowers by a continual absence?
18113for when, indeed, are these masters of the world ever entirely masters of themselves?
18113had their unfortunate comrades fallen?
18113had they received their pay?
18113he exclaimed in astonishment,"_ Te Deum!_ Dare they then lie to God as well as to men?"
18113how force a passage through the waves of this ocean of flame?
18113how many campaigns?
18113in the midst of what peculiar manners?
18113in what a climate?
18113or rather, did he dread the explosion of a patriotism which he might not be able to master?
18113rejoined the officer;"and wherefore do you come into Russia?"
18113retorted Napoleon;"does one give away a kingdom like Spain?
18113said he,"and are_ you_ not inflamed by this idea?
18113said he,"does this monarch dare neither to make peace nor war?
18113they replied.--"What do you want?"
18113to allow him to escape with his victory?
18113to what corps did they belong?
18113to what was he to attribute the jealous anxiety to weaken his eulogium in the journals by artful notes?
18113was he likely to leave them motionless now, when, instead of striking him mortal blows, we had been struck ourselves?
18113was it for her that he was fighting?
18113was it the victorious Russian army they were about to meet?
18113was not the next day to decide every thing?
18113were they in want of any requisite?
18113were they then to be left to the mercy of Kutusoff?
18113were they too late?
18113what exploits?
18113what had they left behind them?
18113what had they to gain by remaining by their colours?
18113what had they to show for it?
18113what have they been doing for the last three weeks that they have not heard from me?
18113what have they to give you?
18113what is that to me?
18113what position would he determine to dispute?
18113what shall we do?
18113what was Junot about?"
18113what would be said by France, by the army, by Europe?
18113what would they do there?
18113what wounds?
18113where are their twenty days''provisions?
18113why go to meet winter, to provoke and to defy it?--it was already too near; and what was to become of the six thousand wounded still in Moscow?
18113why had he exposed himself to be cut off?"
18113why had the cannon been abandoned to the enemy untouched?
18113why the report of that victory had been so unfavourable to him?
18113why then stop him and force him to conquer?
34474A disaster hath befallen the Dauphin?
34474A priest, messire? 34474 A priest?"
34474Abjure?
34474Ah, Sieur Pierre,she said,"where shall I be to- night?"
34474Alone?
34474And did the Domremy boys give a good account of themselves?
34474And do you forgive me, my little one? 34474 And father?"
34474And how did you get the gash?
34474And how is Aveline?
34474And how kept you yours?
34474And if he does not? 34474 And not from the maid at all?"
34474And what do you say, Hauviette?
34474And who is to tell him what I say?
34474And why not bed them, mother? 34474 And why not retire to the Castle of the Island, my children?"
34474And why to Poictiers?
34474And with him stands my uncle, Durand Lassois: he who took me to Vaucouleurs, you remember?
34474And you in truth made that long perilous journey to speak with the King?
34474And you, I doubt not, are that Burgundy who hath beguiled the gentle King with fair words and false promises?
34474And your standard?
34474Are not you the little maid who dressed my wounded arm at your father''s house in Domremy?
34474Are there no cudgels to be had that you should use the sacred weapon? 34474 Are we to turn our backs?"
34474Are you grieving over the cattle and the goods?
34474Are you hurt, Mengette?
34474Are you in truth going to get it for me, father?
34474Are you the Count of Dunois?
34474Are you the maid concerning whom letters have come to the King from Vaucouleurs?
34474At once?
34474But Aveline, Jeanne?
34474But how will they know that it is the sword that you mean?
34474But what made you think of coming?
34474But where are the boys?
34474Call you? 34474 Can Orléans hold out forever?
34474Colet, is this in truth the King''s desire, or hath he been influenced to it by George la Trémouille? 34474 Could it be that some one is teaching the girl letters, that she is so quiet?
34474Dear Maid, have you forgot Paris? 34474 Did mother go on a pilgrimage to Puy en Velay?"
34474Did the priests know that the sword was there?
34474Did you know before you were taken that you would be captured?
34474Did you not call me, mother?
34474Did you not promise and swear not to resume the dress of a man?
34474Did you not say that you had received divine direction regarding it also?
34474Did you think that I would leave her while she has need of me, Uncle Durand?
34474Do n''t you, Mengette?
34474Do you believe in God?
34474Do you like it, my little one?
34474Do you mean to reflect upon the honor of our cousin Burgundy?
34474Does it hurt much?
34474Does your Counsel tell you to say this?
34474Eh? 34474 For do not the wayfarers bring you news of all that happens beyond the mountains?"
34474From Rome?
34474Go back now, Jeanne?
34474Has anything happened to the flocks?
34474Have I not seen you somewhere, messire?
34474Have we not boldly told all who came to Domremy to inquire concerning her of her goodness and purity? 34474 Have you broken your fast to- day, my child?"
34474Have you marked, Isabeau, that she no longer dances with the other children? 34474 Have you not good faith in the Lord?"
34474Have you not heard that a woman should lose France, and that a Maid should save France?
34474Have you nothing further to say?
34474Have you witnesses to prove this?
34474Have you, as''tis said, a message for the King?
34474Have your voices told you that also, Jeanne?
34474Hear you that, Isabeau? 34474 How can God leave those good people of Compiègne, who have been and are so loyal to their King, to perish?"
34474How can they help it, mother, when even grown people fight their enemies when they meet?
34474How can you say that? 34474 How could you know that a disaster hath befallen him to- day?"
34474How could you understand, father? 34474 How did you come to speak so to him, Jeanne?"
34474How did you know, uncle?
34474How do you do, Jeanne?
34474How is father?
34474I know quite well that you are sent to question me,spoke the maiden with spirit,"but of what avail is it?
34474I think she must be inspired in very truth, Jean; else how is it that she stands the journey as she does? 34474 I, Messire?
34474If you feared it, why were you not on your guard?
34474In God''s name, my fair duke, why do they ask so many questions instead of setting me about my work?
34474In God''s name, why do they not set me about my work?
34474In what language, Pucelle, do these voices speak to you?
34474Is aught amiss? 34474 Is it your pleasure to have dinner, messire?"
34474Is not the Dauphin master of his presence? 34474 Is she-- is she dead?"
34474Is that all, Jeanne?
34474Is this thy daughter?
34474It would seem so, my child; but, unless there were cause why should he take this action?
34474Jacques,ejaculated his wife reprovingly,"what are you saying?
34474Jeanne, do you in truth know that?
34474Jeanne, in what place do you expect to die?
34474Jeanne, ma mie, what is it?
34474Know you not that there are perils enough about us without giving a false alarm? 34474 Make peace, Sire; but--""But what, dear Maid?"
34474May I hear mass before entering the court?
34474Messire, would I not, were I betrothed to this man, go abroad with him to church, to dances, or to other public places?
34474Mother scolding? 34474 Mother, did my father do that?"
34474Not go back, my little one?
34474Now then, Jeanne, did not your Voices promise you deliverance?
34474Now who can it be that fares forth in such weather to go visiting?
34474Of me, father?
34474Of what?
34474Oh, dost thou jarnedieu?
34474Said I not so, Alain?
34474Shall I be believed if I speak?
34474Shall I be believed?
34474Shall I burn?
34474Shall I get you some fresh water, father?
34474Shall I not speak to Sire Robert first, Jeanne?
34474Since last Thursday have you heard your Voices?
34474So you are the Pucelle?
34474So?
34474The King?
34474Then what is it?
34474Then why fret about telling the King what ye believe?
34474Then why go to him?
34474Then will you relate how the commands were given to you?
34474There could n''t be one; could there, Jean?
34474There is naught but good in that, so what makes the people talk so?
34474Think you that I heed what a mad woman says?
34474Think you that the Governor would listen to her if she were to go to him again?
34474Thou who art so near death?
34474To Poictiers?
34474To Vaucouleurs?
34474To- night, Pucelle? 34474 Was it you that gave counsel that I should come by this bank and not by the other side, and so straight against Talbot and the English?"
34474We will willingly give you one or two worthy men who speak French; will you say your Pater to them?
34474We--"What''s that about going to fighting?
34474Well, ma mie,he said banteringly,"what are you doing here?
34474Were you, mother?
34474What ails you, Jacques?
34474What can be done?
34474What can they mean?
34474What did they say to you?
34474What do you fear, messire?
34474What do you mean, Colin?
34474What do you think, Jeanne?
34474What for?
34474What has come over you, Jeanne?
34474What hath happened?
34474What have you to say to this article?
34474What is abjure?
34474What is it that I am to do?
34474What is it that you have really decided? 34474 What is it, father?"
34474What is it, ma mie?
34474What is it, messire?
34474What is the danger that may befall him?
34474What is the use in having learned men ask me questions when I know neither A nor B?
34474What is this that I hear about your visiting Sire Robert de Baudricourt?
34474What shall be done now?
34474What then, Jeanne?
34474What would you of me, messire?
34474What would your father say to you should aught happen to the sheep? 34474 What?"
34474When did you come? 34474 When does messire, the bishop, wish to see me?"
34474When may I begin, sire?
34474When shall we go?
34474Where are you going?
34474Where did you get such notions? 34474 Where got you such skill in military matters, Jeanne?"
34474Who is Messire?
34474Who taught you where to set those guns? 34474 Why did n''t you pack them yourselves?"
34474Why did you go there? 34474 Why do you call the King the Dauphin, even as the foreigners do who deny him the right to the throne?"
34474Why do you speak so, Jeanne?
34474Why does it have the notches upon it, father?
34474Why fret indeed? 34474 Why have you come to Court?"
34474Why have you done this?
34474Why, Jeanne, you do n''t mean that he wants to see me?
34474Why, child, what brings you home so early?
34474Will you not tell us in the presence of the King the nature of this Counsel?
34474Will you really do what you say?
34474Wish that Jeanne D''Arc would not be so good?
34474With mother?
34474Wolves?
34474Would it not be best to take it without bloodshed?
34474Would n''t you, Pierrelot?
34474Would you sell this ring, good father?
34474Would you travel in that garb, pucelle? 34474 You did not?
34474You hear?
34474You mean to walk there, Jeanne?
34474You must believe me, uncle,spoke the girl pleadingly,"Have I not always been truthful?"
34474You were prisoners to the Duke of Lorraine?
34474You will return with me, Jeanne? 34474 You will, messire?"
34474You wish me to do what, child?
34474You?
34474Your voices? 34474 A blot upon England? 34474 A little wearied she may be when we stop for rest, but do you note that she starts onward as blithely and gayly as though we had but just set forth?
34474A prisoner?
34474After a time he raised his head to ask brokenly,"She told the Sire Captain that she would come again, Durand?"
34474After each one the young doctor paused to ask?
34474After they had spoken the bishop turned to the girl kindly and said:"And where is thy counsel, my child?"
34474All but her, and what could she have done to help me an there had been a wolf?"
34474All feared for the result, for what chance would a peasant maid stand with such wise men?
34474All the harshness and severity that I showed you?
34474And her parents?
34474And now you have come here with a mission?
34474And why do you want to take the sheep elsewhere?
34474And you wish it too, do you not, Hauviette?"
34474And, Hauviette, did Isabeau tell you that they wanted to know whether Jeanne ever carried a mandrake?"
34474As he still hesitated she added:"Ah, gentle duke, are you afraid?
34474As the trumpets sounded the assault, and he did not advance, Jeanne turned upon him quickly:"Why do you hesitate?"
34474Be hunted like wild beasts, and killed if they can not pay ransom?
34474Bertrand, man, does not the flavor of that stew assail your nostrils deliciously?"
34474Build, for men- at- arms to burn?
34474But I made up for it afterward; did n''t I, Pierre?"
34474But is it by evil or by good spirits that you speak?"
34474But you?
34474Can they not see that she is one of God''s saints?"
34474Can you in very truth do as you say: raise the siege of Orléans, and bring the King to his anointing?"
34474Catherine?"
34474Colin?
34474Could it be that that was what Martin had heard?
34474Did I not, Colin?"
34474Did Pierre too feel for their suffering country?
34474Did you look well to the money?"
34474Did you wish to see them?"
34474Didst not hear them say that they knew of your engagement to Colin?"
34474Do we have to carry the tables and the paddles home, Jeanne?
34474Do you hear, Jeanne?"
34474Do you not know that I promised your wife to bring you back safe and sound?"
34474Fair Dauphin, did you tell to any one the prayer that you made?"
34474For were they not likely to lose the beasts forever on the morrow?
34474For who that had not kinship with the Divine could transcend the weakness of the flesh as did this girl of seventeen?
34474Had he ever heard her, Jeanne, speak of being engaged to Colin?
34474Had he seen her at church, or any public place with Colin?
34474Has your mother been scolding you?"
34474Hast thou not heard that France ruined by a woman shall by a virgin be restored?
34474Have you been accustomed to riding?"
34474Have you never heard that though a woman should lose France, from the march of Lorraine a Virgin shall come for its redemption?"
34474Have you thought of that?"
34474Have you thought of that?"
34474He dragged himself up as well as he could upon his horse, and galloped up to her, crying:"What are you doing here alone, Pucelle?
34474Here Doctor Jean de Mascon, a"very wise man,"said to her:"My child, are you come to raise the siege?"
34474Here and there an English soldier laughed, and suddenly a hoarse voice cried:"You priests, are you going to keep us here all day?"
34474How could he, when I did not call?
34474How could she approach such a man?
34474How did you get here?"
34474How then could I lead men- at- arms?"
34474How was that faith kept?"
34474How would they receive her?
34474I have but to speak the truth; have I not?"
34474I?"
34474If receiving an answer to earnest prayer be witchcraft were not the maidens of Lagny equally guilty with Jeanne?
34474If they be not true, why then do you besiege the good city of Compiègne, bringing suffering upon your own people?
34474Is it not a secure stronghold?"
34474Is it not his to say who shall, or who shall not be admitted to him?"
34474Is it not so?"
34474Is it true?"
34474Is not that a Friar turning in from the highway, Isabeau?"
34474Is not that a thing allowed to every prisoner?"
34474Is not that best?"
34474Is there aught from your heavenly visitors that would answer that prayer?"
34474Is there in truth danger?"
34474Is there not some gift or boon that you wish other than this?"
34474Is this what you promised me?"
34474Jeanne a heretic?
34474Know you not that La Hire, the fiercest soldier of the Armagnacs, says,''Never was a king who lost his kingdom so gay as Charles?''
34474Know you not that the whole countryside is talking of you?
34474Know you where the lads are?
34474Must my children too live always in the midst of strife?
34474Must the King be driven from his Kingdom, and we all turn English?"
34474Must they too count on nothing; neither their goods, nor their lives?
34474Must they too sow for soldiers to reap?
34474Of what avail would such a small number be against an attacking force of freebooters?"
34474Oh, Jacques, must France always be torn by war?"
34474Oh, is not God good to give us so fine day for our pleasure?"
34474Oh, would n''t the Godons run when they saw you?"
34474One of them cried:"How can you set forth on such a journey when there are men- at- arms on every hand?"
34474Or are n''t you through washing yet?"
34474Pierre, will you see to the oxen?
34474Presently he said, wistfully:"Do n''t you ever get afraid in battle, Jeanne?
34474Presently she dashed away the tears and turned to Durand as though an idea had come to her:"Uncle Durand,"she cried,"Will you take me into France?"
34474Ransom?
34474Resistance to the force that was with Antoine was out of the question, so what could they do?
34474She had been deceived once; how could she know that the captains would keep the promise to return with the soldiers?
34474She is but a peasant girl, and when hath a villein''s daughter ever ridden a horse, or couched a lance?
34474She knew no language but French, so what other could the Voices use?
34474Sire Bertrand leaned over to Jean de Metz and spoke in an awed tone:"Saw you that, Jean?
34474So this was what Colin had been about in his absence?
34474So what would be the use of coming here Thursday?"
34474So when she said again:"Is anything amiss, Jeanne?"
34474So you are that little maid?
34474Solemnly he spoke:"How know you this, Maid?"
34474The girl was so young, so fair, so slight, yet what great deeds had she not wrought?
34474The song?"
34474The wound?"
34474Then drawing her mystic sword she waved it above her head, crying:"Dost thou so speak, Classidas?
34474Then you can hear me in confession?"
34474There was not the least flicker of amusement in his countenance as he said:"Well, my little maid, what brings thee here this time?"
34474Therefore, was it not better that I should take her?"
34474They asked her one day:"Do you know that you are in the grace of God?"
34474They follow us, do they not, Jean?"
34474This visit is for the day only, is it not?"
34474Upon what were the people to live?
34474Was she inspired, or possessed?
34474Was the girl really an inspired prophetess, or a witch?
34474We are to march there from here, and who can lead the men- at- arms to the storming so well as you?
34474Were they too concerned in the matter?
34474What business had you with him?"
34474What could a maid do in such matters?
34474What does it mean?"
34474What guerdon shall be yours for these amazing labors?"
34474What is it, Jeanne?
34474What is the matter?"
34474What is your name?"
34474What is your sign, Pucelle?"
34474What made you think that I called you?"
34474What made you think that I called you?"
34474What need, therefore, is there for you, a young girl, to go to the Dauphin?"
34474What sign can you give us that you can perform them?"
34474What sign can you give?"
34474What then?"
34474What voices?"
34474What wonder that she wept?
34474What wonder then, that when the divine call came, it was heard and heeded?
34474What wouldst thou have with me?"
34474What, a young girl fair and lovely as was this peasant maid to deliver France?
34474What?"
34474When do we start?"
34474When will you set forth?"
34474Whence came that indomitable spirit and courage?
34474Where did you say the flowers were?"
34474Where do you bide?
34474Where is the pain?"
34474Where were La Hire, Dunois, Alençon, Boussac, Rais, and other captains that no sword was drawn for Jeanne?
34474Whip Jeanne, who was so good and sweet?
34474Whip her?
34474Who could guess that lords and knights of the Christian faith, holding captive the gentle Duke of Orléans, would besiege his own city?
34474Who else has shown such courage and high heart since the beginning of the world?
34474Who taught you to be so deft in such matters?"
34474Why did they not leave France and go back to their own country?"
34474Why did they not tell me?"
34474Why do they not stay in their own country?"
34474Why do they not take Messire''s word as it comes to them?
34474Why do you fear to tell me what it is?
34474Why do you not retreat with the others?"
34474Why will you burn?"
34474Why, what ails you, my little one?"
34474Why, why did you permit it?"
34474Will you go with me?"
34474Will you let her go, Jacques?"
34474Will you take me to Sire Robert?"
34474You are getting ready to be a saint, are n''t you?"
34474You are, I should judge, not over sixteen?"
34474how is she?"
34474she cried wonderingly;"and am I to die here?"
34474where are you?
34474why did you not keep her from going to Vaucouleurs?
20580About what?
20580And the Assembly believes in it?
20580And you?
20580By whom?
20580By whom?
20580Eight hundred?
20580How did he die?
20580If the shot was really fired, there still remains a question: Was it a cause, or was it a signal? 20580 Was it six hundred?"
20580Well?
20580What do they say in Paris, and in the Assembly?
20580What is your position in the country?
20580What vote?
20580What were these orders? 20580 Where do you come from?"
20580Who is this monster?
20580Would you engage him as your cashier?
20580''Can it be that the Élysée is already on the defensive?''
20580''Why, has it been raining?''
20580--"For what purpose, Sire?"
20580--"What are you?"
20580--"What is it you call the tribune?"
20580--"What is your business in this city?"
20580--"Whom is it for?"
20580--"Why are you here?"
20580--"Yes, is he at the galleys?"
20580--"You know So- and- So?"
20580--''A letter?
20580According to the terms of the"Constitution,"who is it that appoints the master of the house?
20580All these things being done, what would be the result?
20580And for this immense engulfment, this supreme victory of life over death, what was needed?
20580And from whom?''
20580And look at the sky: is it day?
20580And military honour, where is it?
20580And now, will M. Bonaparte be Emperor, or will he not?
20580And the songs which at eventide they used to hear, in their native tongue, where are they?
20580And what about that excellent trial by jury?
20580And what does he mean by it all?
20580And when everything had been pleaded, argued, investigated, searched, gone to the bottom of, said and gainsaid, what came forth from the chaos?
20580And who are in the prisons, in the fortresses, in the dungeons, in the casemates, in the hulks, at Lambessa, at Cayenne, in exile?
20580And who are they?
20580Are some oaths better than others?
20580Are there in this commodity of the oath, superfine, extra- fine, fine, and half- fine?
20580Are there new oaths, still unused, oaths worn at the knees, patched oaths and ragged oaths?
20580Are there then several sorts of oaths?
20580Are there, in this business also, masses at forty sous, and masses at ten sous, which latter, as the priest said, are but"rubbish?"
20580Are they more durable, less adulterated with tow and cotton, better dyed?
20580Are you aware of this?
20580Arrested for what?
20580As for the plan in itself, as for that all- embracing idea of universal repression, whence came it?
20580BOOK IV THE OTHER CRIMES I SINISTER QUESTIONS What was the number of the dead?
20580BOOK VII THE ABSOLUTION:--SECOND PHASE: THE OATH I FOR AN OATH, AN OATH AND A HALF What is Louis Bonaparte?
20580Before whom?
20580But after all, what does this prove?
20580But do you know what results from this sort of power?
20580But does he, at least, do himself justice, this Bonaparte?
20580But even this socialism of M. Bonaparte, what is it?
20580But how are we to do it?
20580But if the good professors depart, will there be any more good pupils?
20580But of what Senate are you speaking?
20580But why should we look back so far?
20580But with one fête only how are two parties to be satisfied-- the soldier party and the priest party?
20580By whom?
20580Can it be that this is the end?
20580Can it reasonably expect that the police judges will be still more base and more contemptible than they?
20580Can one imagine a blind pilot at the helm?
20580Can one imagine a judge with his ears stuffed and his eyes put out?
20580Can you form any idea of the frenzied shouts and imprecations that would greet such words?
20580Conquest by ideas,--who wants it?
20580Conquest by the sword,--who wants it?
20580Conversion of_ rentes_?
20580Credit Foncier?
20580Did he offer that?
20580Did it happen so?
20580Did not the one dream of Cromwell, the other of Monk?
20580Did the Lower Empire possess America?
20580Did they not announce that the Constitution of 1848 would prove a"red chamber?"
20580Do I mean thereby that the Republic would not have come?
20580Do we mean to declare that nobody really voted for M. Bonaparte?
20580Do you believe that God keeps repeating himself?
20580Do you imagine that Providence repeats itself so tamely?
20580Do you insist on an archduchess?
20580Do you know that Messieurs So- and- So won town houses and country houses in the Circuit Railway alone?
20580Do you know that, under the Lower Empire, Constantinople fell in ruins, and finally had only thirty thousand inhabitants?
20580Do you know why?
20580Do you like soldiers?
20580Do you not hear Baroche growl, and Dupin thunder?
20580Do you not see that simply to set forth such a state of affairs is to explain, to demonstrate, and to solve everything?
20580Do you think of that?
20580Does God allow and acquiesce in such burials?
20580Does he smell of tobacco?
20580Does it think of that?
20580Does the Dictator smell of incense?
20580Does the quality of the oath vary with the price?
20580Emperor?
20580Expect caprices, surprises, stupefying, bewildering things, the most unexpected combinations of words, the most fearless cacophony?
20580For what was France before, if you please?
20580France was the teacher of the peoples, and conquered them by love; to what end?
20580From all these office- holders?
20580From that general?
20580From that magistrate?
20580From that prefect?
20580From whom?
20580Had the Lower Empire behind it John Huss, Luther, Cervantes, Shakespere, Pascal, Molière, Voltaire, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Mirabeau?
20580Had the Lower Empire behind it the taking of the Bastile, the Federation, Danton, Robespierre, the Convention?
20580Had the Lower Empire the compass, the electric battery, the printing press, the newspaper, the locomotive, the electric telegraph?
20580Had the Lower Empire those two ideas, country and humanity: country which enlarges the heart, humanity which expands the horizon?
20580Had the Lower Empire universal suffrage?
20580Has Paris fallen so low?
20580Has he a glimmering, an idea, a suspicion, the slightest perception, of his infamy?
20580Has he not to a certain extent''made Socialism?''"
20580Has such a thing been seen in these days?
20580Have not some of your good women been outraged?"
20580Have you a shako on your head?
20580Have you done it?
20580Have you ever thought of what that man is who teaches children?
20580He exclaims:"Do you know what your centralized administration may become in the hands of a perjured executive power?
20580He said to them:"You are no judges; where is the law?
20580His green uniform has been seen at Strasburg; his eagle has been seen at Boulogne; his grey riding- coat, did he not wear it at Ham?
20580How is it when all three are wanting?
20580How is the republic to be established?
20580How many contrasting figures are there from Danton to Thiers?
20580How many corpses bestrew the_ coup d''état_ of December?
20580How many figures that resemble one another, from Barère to Baroche, from Lafayette to Cavaignac?
20580How much more is there in M. Baroche''s oath than in M. Vidocq''s?
20580How satisfy the one without failing the other?
20580How then are they to be got at?
20580How was the question put?
20580How?
20580II DIFFERENCE IN PRICE And from whom, then, are oaths required?
20580IV WHO REALLY VOTED FOR M. BONAPARTE?
20580If they take France from out their hearts, what remains to them?
20580Is France despised?
20580Is Italy despised?
20580Is M. Bonaparte a dictator?
20580Is he a prince?
20580Is he an adventurer?
20580Is he making a collection of them?
20580Is it Schahabaham?
20580Is it Tiberius?
20580Is it because this question is on a lower plane?
20580Is it not a mockery merely to pronounce the words?
20580Is it not, worthy peasants, driven from France, who have no roof to shelter you, and no shoes to your feet?
20580Is it possible?
20580Is it the Senate of which Napoleon said in 1805:"The poltroons were afraid of displeasing me?
20580Is it the Senate of which Napoleon thus spoke on April 5, 1814:"A sign was an order for the Senate, and it always did more than was required of it?"
20580Is it the Senate whose duty it was to deliberate on the description of sauce with which the Emperor should eat his turbot?
20580Is it the same as with masses?
20580Is it this bundle of sheets which is called a book?
20580Is it this machine of wood and iron which is called a press?
20580Is it this sheet of paper that is called a journal?
20580Is it true?
20580Is n''t it a much shorter way to trample the judges under foot?
20580Is n''t it much more simple to crush justice?
20580Is n''t it much more simple to destroy the liberty of the press?
20580Is n''t it much more simple to take one''s seat on the throne of the emperor?
20580Is one to be stopped by such stuff as that?
20580Is there a Senate then?
20580Is there any choice?
20580Is this all?
20580Is this the fact, or is it not?
20580M. Bonaparte took for his opponent in this contest, whom?
20580M. de Chambord?
20580M. de Joinville?
20580Now do you comprehend the infamous counsel which the success of M. Bonaparte gives to this class?
20580Now let us answer the question we just now proposed: Without the 2nd of December, what would have occurred in 1852?
20580Now, by whom was this letter written?
20580Now, do you understand?
20580Now, let us see: did M. Bonaparte, in his ballot of the 20th of December, obey these axioms?
20580Now, what is the future of France to be?
20580Now, what were the obstacles to this future, to this magnificent realization of the democratic ideal?
20580Of bronze?
20580Of what do they speak?
20580Of what profit has it been to this day?
20580One asks oneself:"How did he do it?"
20580One day it was enveloped in a tempest; it marched over the abyss, and said to the frightened nations:"Why are you afraid?"
20580Railways?
20580Seven million, eight million, ten million, what does it matter?
20580Shall we judge him by the eight months he has reigned?
20580Shall we see once more the Empress Zoé, Roman Argyrio, Nicephorus Logothetes, Michael Calafates?
20580Some fine morning he wakes and yawns, rubs his eyes, takes his pen and decrees-- what?
20580Suppose those demagogues should write?
20580Suppose those fellows should speak?
20580Tell us, who played him that trick?
20580That no one knowingly and willingly accepted that man?
20580That no one voluntarily said"Aye?"
20580The Republic?
20580The magistrate asked Captain Crow:"Did you see the passengers drink?"
20580The magistrate:"Did you not offer the commandant of the station a sum of money if he would march with you?"
20580The orator continues:"Do you know what your standing army may become at any moment?
20580The question resolves itself into this: Did any one hear a pistol or musket shot fired from one of the houses on the boulevard?
20580The sick?
20580This document being cited for what it is worth, the question is, what is the true total?
20580This is evidently unjust; why such a difference?
20580This, socialism?
20580Though it be fallen and fallen for ever, is Greece despised?
20580VII THE ADHERENTS Who are they that flock round the establishment?
20580Voted what?
20580Was any choice possible?
20580Was it divined?
20580Was it four hundred?"
20580Was it suspected?
20580Was it to do righteous deeds?
20580Was this known among the people?
20580We will both vote for him, wo n''t we, M. de Montalembert?
20580Well, what would you have us do in the matter?
20580What books have they in their hands?
20580What but the Jacquerie was the red spectre?
20580What came forth from the cloud?
20580What can he do?
20580What care they about sharing his ignominy, provided they share his fortune?
20580What conclusion does the_ coup d''état_ thence derive?
20580What conclusion?
20580What courts?
20580What did he intend doing?
20580What did you do in those dark hours?
20580What do you want us to do with it?
20580What does M. Bonaparte do with all these oaths?
20580What does M. Bonaparte do?
20580What does he lack then?
20580What dream is this?
20580What errand summoned these men in red robes to this man in a black coat?
20580What figure is that?
20580What forms do their arts assume, their laws, their manners, their clothing, their pleasures, their fashions?
20580What had been the cause of that?
20580What has M. Bonaparte done with it?
20580What has he done?
20580What has he given you as compensation?
20580What have you to say to"parliamentarism"?
20580What is done for him?
20580What is the exact figure of his victims?
20580What is the great date for them, as for us?
20580What is the placard pasted on the walls of their theatres?
20580What is to become of him?
20580What is to become of the sick?
20580What language do they speak?
20580What names do they know by heart?
20580What nightmare is this?
20580What of it?
20580What of it?
20580What of it?
20580What of it?
20580What of it?
20580What shall we say of it?
20580What signified a few dead bodies, more or less?
20580What sort of place is that wherein reside all kinds of cynicism and all kinds of hypocrisy?
20580What then?
20580What was in their minds?
20580What was the crime of these men?
20580What was to be done?
20580What will they do with it?
20580What would you have?
20580What''s that?
20580What''s to be done?
20580What, all?
20580Whence comes it?
20580Whence comes this government?
20580Where are the little ones?
20580Where are those times, those glorious times, interspersed with storms, but glorious, when all was life, when all was liberty, when all was glory?
20580Where does he put them?
20580Where is common sense?
20580Where is the street, the faubourg, the lamp burning bright before the door, the friends, the workshop, the trade, the customary toil?
20580Where?
20580Where?
20580Where?
20580Where?
20580Wherefore?
20580Who added?
20580Who appoints the servant?
20580Who are those prisoners?
20580Who at the Palais Bourbon?
20580Who at the Palais d''Orsay?
20580Who at the Palais de Justice?
20580Who can tell what takes place in those nocturnal_ tête- à- têtes_ between Arago and Jupiter?
20580Who can tell?
20580Who certified?
20580Who checked?
20580Who could solve the two problems at the same time?
20580Who counted?
20580Who did solve them?
20580Who does not permit it?
20580Who examined?
20580Who forbids it?
20580Who is at the Élysée and the Tuileries?
20580Who is established at the Luxembourg?
20580Who is the man seated on the prisoners''bench, the man whom Magnan covers with"scorn,"the man towards whom Magnan turns his"indignant"face?
20580Who knows?
20580Who knows?
20580Who made the proclamation?
20580Who opposes it?
20580Who prevented him from putting down eight millions, or ten millions,--a good round sum?
20580Who reigns, in God''s name?
20580Who said this?
20580Who said this?
20580Who set up the working- man''s scaffold?
20580Who speaks thus?
20580Who was it, pray, who said that the South Sea savages call the French the"_ oui- ouis_?"
20580Who will ever know?
20580Whom do they guillotine?
20580Whom?
20580Whom?
20580Why do you want to change it, to put an end to it?
20580Why not?
20580Why seven million five hundred thousand?
20580Why?
20580Will he be less severely punished for that reason?
20580Would you like to know what it calls you, even among your friends?
20580X"Was this end attained?
20580X----, you, whom I intended to urge for promotion, you come here to- day and admit all this?''
20580XI RECAPITULATION But we are asked:"Are you going a little too far?
20580You enter the house of a schoolmaster,--salute him more profoundly; do you know what he is doing?
20580You speak of the Lower Empire; are you serious?
20580_ Magister populi_,--the master of the people?
20580_ Praetor maximus_,--general- in- chief?
20580_ Pro numine observatum_,--regarded as God?
20580_ that_ a ballot?
20580and do you know the reason why?
20580and from whom, I ask again?
20580and said to him:"Can you conceive the assurance of this Bonaparte?
20580are you not unjust?
20580by what?"
20580cries an orator of the Convention,"do you propose to cut short my speech?"
20580despise France?
20580governed, do I say?
20580have we already reached the point that it is necessary to remind the reader of their source?
20580hear you that crashing noise, all- pervading and formidable?
20580hear you that dull sound?
20580how will they occupy it?
20580impossible?
20580is it night?
20580is it the Empire?
20580is that what you would have me do?
20580it is horrible to think and to say, but is it possible that we no longer think of it?
20580it replied:"I am the truth;"and to those who asked:"Whence comest thou?"
20580of what is France thinking?
20580others:"whom are we going to see at the Hotel de Ville?"
20580replies a coarse voice with a Dutch accent;"so you mistrust parliamentarism, do you?"
20580said some;"Who is this giant?"
20580the soldier, who would regain his freedom, would applaud, but what would the officer say?
20580there is a moral side, then?
20580were the Legitimists allowed to turn towards their exiled prince, and towards the ancient honour of the_ fleurs- de- lys_?
20580what are these men who command our regiments, and who govern us?
20580what do you want of us?"
20580what happiness to be banished, to be disgraced, to be ruined,--is it not, brave workmen?
20580what is it that he demands of France, this man- ambuscade?
20580what is it?
20580what parodies are we destined to see and hear?
20580what sort of place is that, whence no idea has issued that has not been a plot, no action that has not been a crime?
20580what spectacle is this?
20580where are they all?
20580where is reason?
20580where is the brother?
20580where is the mother?
20580where is the wife?
20580where is the wood, the tree, the forest path, the roof filled with nests, the church tower surrounded by tombs?
20580where is truth?
20580whither will they lead it?
20580who could tell?
20580who will give them bread?
20580who will give them their father''s kiss?
20580without one exception?
20580ye proscribed, of what do you complain?
19488And what do you say if I have promised and sworn to our King not to put off these clothes? 19488 Are they indeed real?"
19488Are you a gentleman?
19488Are you a knight?
19488But inasmuch as you have been taken hath not the angel failed you with regard to the good things of this life?
19488But the year?
19488Did Saint Denys ever appear to you? 19488 Did he hold scales?"
19488Did not the angel who brought the sign speak?
19488Did the Angel come along the ground, walking from the door of the room?
19488Did the Angel who bore it come from above, or did he come from the earth?
19488Did the churchmen of your party behold the sign?
19488Did you actually behold Saint Michael and these angels in the body?
19488Did you ever kiss and embrace the Saints, Catherine and Margaret?
19488Did you know you were to be taken?
19488Did you not abjure, and promise not to return to this dress?
19488Did you not give them chaplets of flowers?
19488Did you not say that it should come to pass before Saint Martin in the winter?
19488Did you see a crown on the King''s head when you gave him this sign?
19488Did you touch it or kiss it?
19488Did your King and you make any reverence to the angel when he brought the sign?
19488Do you believe that your Voices and apparitions come from good or from evil spirits?
19488Do you believe that your Voices are Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine?
19488Do you know whether Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret hate the English?
19488Do you not trust in the Lord?
19488Do you not wish,she was asked,"that a fine and famous procession be ordained to restore you to a good estate if you be not therein?"
19488Do you still believe in your Voices?
19488Do you think and firmly believe that your King did right to kill or cause to be killed my Lord of Burgundy?
19488Does God hate the English?
19488Had he hair?
19488Had your King a crown at Reims?
19488Have you heard your Voices since Thursday?
19488Have you seen that richer crown?
19488How can he have failed me when he comforteth me every day? 19488 How can you,"they asked her,"set forth on such a journey when there are men- at- arms on every hand?"
19488How can you,urges Jean Beaupère,"see this light which you say appears to you, if it is on your right?"
19488How do you know this?
19488How far was it from the door to the King?
19488How?
19488In God''s name, was I ever in such a place?
19488In the good things of grace hath not your angel failed you?
19488In what form and semblance did Saint Michael come to you? 19488 In what manner did the Angel bring the crown?
19488In what semblance was Saint Michael? 19488 Is it of gold or silver, or of precious stones, or is it a crown?"
19488It had been in the contest, wherefore should it not share the prize? 19488 It is beautiful and honourable and very credible; it is the best and the richest in the world....""Does it still last?"
19488Know you aught of those who consort with fairies?
19488Must the King be driven from his kingdom, and must we become English?
19488Of what was the crown made?
19488On the first day that you saw the sign did your King see it?
19488On what day and at what hour?
19488Rascal,he said,"what possesses thee to allow an excommunicated whore to approach a church without permission?
19488Saw you any angel above the King?
19488Then why,asked Maître Pierre again,"if you thought it likely, did you not take better care on the day you were captured?"
19488To what place was the crown brought?
19488Was God on the side of the English when they prospered in France?
19488Was he clothed?
19488Was it through your counsel that I came hither on this side of the river, and that I did not go straight to where Talbot and the English are?
19488Was the angel, who brought the sign, the angel who first appeared unto you or another?
19488Were there jewels in it?
19488Were they of a sweet savour?
19488What did they say unto you?
19488What instruction did this Voice give you for the salvation of your soul?
19488What is it?
19488What is that man- at- arms saying?
19488What is the sign that was given to your King?
19488What is this peril or this danger?
19488What part did you kiss, face or feet?
19488What revelations were made unto your King?
19488When embracing them did you feel heat or anything else?
19488When shall this come to pass?
19488When you showed the King the sign was there any one with him?
19488Wherefore did you put it on and who made you?
19488Wherefore did you return to it?
19488Wherefore should he have cut it off?
19488Wherefore was your standard rather than those of the other captains carried into the church of Reims?
19488Which would you prefer, to wear a woman''s dress and hear mass, or to continue in man''s dress and not to hear mass?
19488Will she not come to- morrow?
19488Will you abjure all your deeds and sayings? 19488 Will you submit to the judgment of the Church?"
19488[ 752] But to the question:Wherefore do you come?"
19488[ 925] Is it possible? 19488 (?) 19488 274_ et seq._] How can the Maid have known the Seigneur de l''Ours? 19488 A damsel of sixteen, who is not weighed down by armour and weapons, even though she be bred to endure hardness, is not that a matter beyond nature? 19488 After an answer of such perfect simplicity how could these priests proceed to question her on her visions? 19488 After such a setting forth could there possibly remain a single doubt as to whether Pope Martin was the true pope? 19488 Almost at the same time Jeanne went down and asked:Where are my armourers?
19488And Olibrius said unto her:"How comes it that so noble and beautiful a girl as you can worship Jesus the Crucified?"
19488And could Jeanne fail to listen to them since she had always listened to them whenever they had counselled her to sacrifice and self- abnegation?
19488And finally, why did not the priests, the ecclesiastics of the realm, with one voice demand an appeal to the Holy Father?
19488And how could it be otherwise, seeing that Eve''s fall had effaced the divine likeness in this child?
19488And how could they look to exchange a man accused of treachery for a prisoner of war?
19488And how?
19488And is it not admirable and rare to find such heroism united to such innocence?
19488And now what becomes of those monkish tales of attempted violence related long afterwards by a registrar and two churchmen?
19488And of what miracles was she not capable when acting according to the impulses of her own heart, and the grace of her own mind?
19488And the Philistine said to David:''Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff?''
19488And what business had he to doubt that Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret, who were on the side of the French, spoke French?
19488And what could have led him to suppose that the woman condemned by good Father Lemaistre and my Lord of Beauvais was not a bad woman?
19488And what use is it to deceive ourselves?
19488And who can say that they were not?
19488And why should the King reconquer so poor a province?
19488And why should the Lord Chamberlain and the Lord Archbishop have wanted to get rid of the Maid?
19488And you, my sweet son, will you have this virgin for your bride?"
19488And, seeing Goliath, he asked:''Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?''
19488Are they the fault of the Inquisitor or of the author of_ Le Journal_?]
19488Art thou going to keep us here to dinner?
19488At any rate, for that reason or for another, he asked:"Jeanne, in what place look you for to die?"
19488At what age did she become subject to these trances?
19488Basque, what did you promise me?"
19488Brother Jean Lombard asked:"Wherefore have you come?
19488But at heart what did they really think, those who employed her, those Regnaults de Chartres, those Roberts le Maçon, those Gérards Machet?
19488But did he wish her harm?
19488But had it been done on purpose?
19488But had they power to execute their sentence?
19488But how can we imagine that poor husbandmen had leisure to ponder on these things?
19488But how could she have failed to be well versed in deeds of war, since God himself led her against the English?
19488But how could this armed heresy be dealt with when it routed all the forces of the Empire and the Holy See?
19488But how many Norman nobles were like her in refusing to swear fealty to the former enemies of the kingdom?
19488But how was she to go to France?
19488But how?
19488But may the rest of the poem be assigned to 1435 or 1439?
19488But might they not be undeceived?
19488But was he not likely to lose them for ever on the morrow?
19488But was it impossible for seven or eight Armagnac horsemen to traverse English and Burgundian lands without misadventure?
19488But what can be thought of a historian who suppresses Jeanne''s trial because he finds it inconvenient?
19488But what was her substance?
19488But why should there be any?
19488Can they have suspected that this woman, who in France had been considered a saint, might after all have been inspired by the devil?
19488Canst thou be praised enough, thou who hast brought peace to this land laid low by war?
19488Cochard,_ Existe- t- il des reliques de Jeanne d''Arc?_ Orléans, 1891, in 8vo.]
19488Contrite and sorrowful she said to Maître Pierre Maurice:[2547]"Maître Pierre, where shall I be this evening?"
19488Could it be said that if she escaped she would incur excommunication and the spiritual and temporal penalties inflicted on the enemies of religion?
19488Could they say otherwise since they were the voices of her own heart?
19488Could they send her there?

19488Describing them by the word she herself used, he asked:"Is it your Council who speak to you of such things?"
19488Did Brother Seguin so understand it?
19488Did Jeanne suspect the Bishop of designing to poison her?
19488Did he not allow the child David to overthrow the giant Goliath, and did he not deliver into the hands of Judith the head of Holophernes?
19488Did he not intend to use her against the Burgundians?
19488Did he place it on your King''s head?"
19488Did not the Angel salute Gideon( Judges vi), and Raphaël salute Tobias( Tobit xii)?
19488Did she do great prowess?
19488Did she intend when the war was over to return to Orléans and pass a peaceful old age in a house of her own?
19488Did she say that an angel had saved her from the fire?
19488Did she suffer ill treatment at the hands of a Burgundian band?
19488Did she think of living in it?
19488Did she think that the entrenched camp, Saint- Laurent- des- Orgerils, commanded by Scales, Suffolk, and Talbot would be attacked immediately?
19488Did she want to show the document to some false friend, like Loiseleur, who was deceiving her?
19488Did they mean to carry out the two attacks simultaneously?
19488Did they renounce the project of their own accord or against their will?
19488Did they think her incapable of keeping a secret?
19488Did truces ever hinder Armagnacs and Burgundians from fighting when they had a mind to fight?
19488Did you see the hair on their heads?
19488Do you not remember that I promised your wife to bring you back safe and sound?
19488Does this amount to saying that the young saint had no part whatever in the work of deliverance?
19488Fair Duke, can you be afraid?
19488Fearing lest harm should come to her, he leapt on to his horse, spurred towards her and cried:"What are you doing, all alone?
19488Finding her still alive, in their amazement they could only ask:"Did you leap?"
19488For the first time the Vice- Inquisitor opened his mouth:[2358]"Have you promised and sworn to Saint Catherine that you will not tell this sign?"
19488Had he not need of her?
19488Had not Saint Geneviève turned away Attila and his barbarian warriors from Paris?
19488Had not a theologian of her own party said that she might be called an angel?
19488Had she abstained from food that morning and if so when had she last partaken of it?
19488Had they arms?
19488Had they no decision to submit to the Pope and to the Council?
19488Had they nothing to say in this matter?
19488Had they really intended to deceive her?
19488Had they rings in their ears?
19488He asked her:"Is it an angel''s voice that speaketh unto you, or the voice of a woman saint or of a man saint?
19488He gave her his hand as a sign that he pledged his word and asked:"When will you set forth?"
19488He went to her, greeted her and asked:''What are you doing in such great haste?''
19488Henri Lepage,_ Jeanne d''Arc est- elle Lorraine?_ Nancy, 1852, pp.
19488Holding the Child Jesus in her arms, the Virgin Mary appeared unto her and said:"Catherine, will you take him for your husband?
19488How could Brother Pasquerel, her chaplain, her steward, and the honest squire d''Aulon, have become the accomplices of so clumsy a jest?
19488How could a pious prince disdain so miraculous a source of counsel?
19488How could it be so before the Pope and the Council had pronounced judgment concerning it?
19488How could she have conducted them since she did not know the way?
19488How could the Maid and Blue Beard be associated in a heroic action?
19488How could the Maid have said of the English:"God sends them against us,"when they were fleeing?]
19488How did they speak?
19488How had Jeanne really expressed herself in her dialect savouring alike of the speech of Champagne and of that of l''Île de France?
19488How was she to associate with men- at- arms?
19488How, since she had shown him her angels, invisible to ordinary folk, could she for one moment have thought that he lacked faith in her?
19488If they were not imposed upon, then how can we account for their conduct?
19488In Orléans itself was it not by the mouth of a babe that he had caused to be named that shepherd who was to deliver the besieged town from Attila?
19488In the morning, when she awoke, she asked:"Did she come?"
19488In what part of the chapel had they found it?
19488In what peril do we stand, we, your judges, and others?"
19488In which case would it not be better to leave them to be dealt with by the_ Godons_?
19488Is it not in the weak things of the world that he maketh his power manifest?
19488Is it not still more wonderful that Samson should have slain so many Philistines with the jaw- bone of an ass?
19488Is it possible to discover these reasons?
19488Jean de Metz asked, as Sire Robert had done:"Who is Messire?"
19488Jean de Metz was filled with no such ardent faith in the prophetess, since he inquired of her:"Will you really do what you say?"
19488Jeanne replies that she had only fasted since the morning, and Maître Beaupère proceeds to ask:_ Q._"In what direction did you hear the voice?"
19488Know ye them one from another?"
19488Martin replied:"Since you know so much about it, why do n''t you perform your errand yourself?
19488May we not interpret as a subtle and delicate reproach the utterance in his presence of this wish, this complaint?
19488Maître Beaupère asked:"Do you know whether you stand in God''s grace?"
19488Maître Guillaume Erard asked Jean Massieu:"Well, what are you saying to her?"
19488Maître Jean Beaupère asked:"When you behold this Voice coming towards you, is there any light?"
19488Maître Jean Beaupère threw out the question:"How did your King come to have faith in your sayings?"
19488Maître Jean Érault, have you ink and paper?
19488Meanwhile, where were the clerks of France?
19488Might not the ceremony be performed in some other town than Reims?
19488Must the King be driven from his kingdom and we all turn English?
19488Must the disgrace of such neglect fall upon the whole Council and upon the Council alone?
19488Notwithstanding he pursued his interrogation:"Do you believe in God?"
19488Of what danger were you speaking?
19488Often she asked:"Will she not come?"
19488On the eve of Patay she had asked:"Have you good spurs?
19488One day he met the damsel and said to her:"Well,_ ma mie_, what are you doing here?
19488One of them, the Bastard of Granville, cried out to her:"Would you have us surrender to a woman?"
19488Or at least why did they not send their evidence?
19488Or is it God speaking without an interpreter?"
19488Or was it her intent to present it to her saints?
19488Ought they not to find their Maid in man''s attire, ready to put on her armour and fight with them?
19488Passing abruptly from Merlin the Magician, Maître Jean Beaupère asked:"Jeanne, will you have a woman''s dress?"
19488Quand le roy s''en vint en France, Il feit oindre ses houssiaulx, Et la royne lui demande: Ou veult aller cest damoiseaulx?
19488Shall we ever discern the true features of her countenance?
19488Shall we turn our backs on them?"
19488She adroitly made answer by asking another question:"Are there two?
19488She must obey them-- but how?
19488She replied:"Doubt ye that Messire lacks wherewithal to clothe himself?"
19488She replied:"How should she speak English, since she is not on the side of the English?
19488She was seditious, for are not all those seditious who support the opposite party?
19488Should he have offered to ransom the Maid?
19488Some peasant?
19488Straightway my Lord d''Harcourt responded:"Will you not here in the King''s presence tell us the manner of your Council when they speak to you?"
19488Taking her to mean the Count of Clermont''s spurs, the spurs of Rouvray, the Duke of Alençon exclaimed:"What do you say?
19488The King, perceiving, asked her:"My beloved, wherefore laugh ye so merrily?"
19488The citizens of a noble city shall be punished for perjury by defeat, groaning with many groans, and at the entrance[ of Charles?]
19488The examiner asked:"How know ye that they are these two saints?
19488The first question the examiner put Jeanne was:"What say you of our Lord the Pope, and whom think you to be the true pope?"
19488The interrogator asked her:"When the Voice revealed your King to you, was there any light?
19488The last question was:"Did you not say before Paris,''Surrender the town in the name of Jesus''?"
19488The men- at- arms inquired of her:"To- day being the Sabbath, is it wrong to fight?"
19488Then came the following subtle question:"Do you believe that if you were married your Voices would come to you?"
19488Then came this remarkable question:"Have you received letters from Saint Michael or from your Voices?"
19488Then recurred the same old questions:"When you went to the attack on Paris did you receive a revelation from your Voices?
19488Then what was her idea?
19488Then, taking the consecrated host in his fingers and presenting it to Jeanne, he said:"Do you believe this to be the body of Christ?"
19488Thereafter the following questions were put to her:"Do you not believe to- day that fairies are evil spirits?"
19488Think ye that ye will go unpunished?
19488Thus gifted, how could he fail to exercise a powerful control over the government?
19488To the question:"Were you addressing God himself when you promised to remain a virgin?"
19488To the question:"What language do your Voices speak?"
19488Was Jeanne able to communicate with the Carmelites of Melun?
19488Was he tall and how was he clothed?"
19488Was his mystery acted during the last thirty years of the century at the festival instituted to commemorate the taking of Les Tourelles?
19488Was it a revelation that caused you to go to Pont- l''Evêque?"
19488Was it a witch or the enemy of the English he was buying with his ten thousand gold francs?
19488Was it difficult to convict a witch in those days?
19488Was it in case the holders of them should be proceeded against by the French?
19488Was it revealed to you that you should go against La Charité?
19488Was one of those frequent truces ever kept?
19488Was she able to give the custodians of the chapel any signs by which to recognise the sword?
19488Was she not a chieftain of war?
19488Was she right or wrong?
19488Was their hair long and hanging?
19488Was there anything between their crowns and their hair?
19488Was there not something round?
19488Was this the token by which the nobles of Metz recognised her?
19488Were the captains and their men to go into this famine- stricken land?
19488Were these words suggested to him by the enemies of the Maid?
19488Were they her dupes or her accomplices?
19488Were they not all to meet at the Council?
19488Were they not sufficiently edified?
19488What Christian in those days did not hold the practice of saying masses for the dead to be good and salutary?
19488What did it profit King Charles to recognise his cousin''s rights over Paris?
19488What does this mean if not that she was subject to hallucinations of hearing, sight, touch, and smell?
19488What flatterers could better have gratified"the proud weakness of my heart?
19488What fury, what folly, what rage possesses you?
19488What is there strange in that, since he was a strong man?
19488What kind of voices had they?
19488What misfortune befell her at the gates of the town?
19488What ought King Charles to have done?
19488What use did she intend to make of this writing?
19488What was the object of these letters?
19488What was there to vex her in this?
19488What was to become of Orléans?
19488What were the true relations between the Royal Council and the Maid?
19488What were those letters from Saint Michael and her other saints, the existence of which she did not deny, but which were never produced by her judges?
19488What would the doughty La Hire have thought of them?
19488When had she journeyed to Rome?
19488Whence came she?
19488Whence came these copies?
19488Wherefore did the King''s men appear first before the northern walls, those of Charles V, which were the strongest?
19488Wherefore do you essay to make out that they are not one?"
19488Wherefore do you not retreat like the others?"
19488Wherefore had they contrary to their custom summoned her to the Council?
19488Whither did she go?
19488Who can ever be thankful enough unto thee?"
19488Who can say that, after having given credence to the tidings brought by Jean du Lys, the townsfolk did not begin to discover the imposture?
19488Who exalted her as a supernatural power?
19488Who knows?
19488Who ought really to have interfered?
19488Why did Holy Church exercise such severity towards a preacher endowed with so wondrous a power of moving sinful souls?
19488Why did they keep silence?
19488Why did they not demand a safe- conduct and come and give evidence at the trial?
19488Why did they not depart from France and go into their own country?"
19488Why did they not urge their opinions in opposition to those of the Faculties of Paris?
19488Why do you appeal to a poor man like me who knows not how to express himself?"
19488Why is she not English?
19488Why should Charles VII''s Councillors have ceased to employ her?
19488Why should not a like power be granted to a Christian?
19488Why should not another of the illuminated succeed?
19488Why should we imagine historical facts to be out of the ordinary run of things and on a scale different from every- day humanity?
19488Why were attempts made at Lagny to save this man alone of the one hundred and fifty Parisians arrested on the information of Brother Pierre d''Allée?
19488Will you abjure such of your deeds and sayings as have been condemned by the clerks?"
19488Will you appeal to the Church Militant?"
19488With this idea he went to the Basque and said:"If I were to enter there and go on foot up to the bulwark would you follow me?"
19488Would it not be better in this matter to act in concert with the ecclesiastics of King Charles''s party?
19488Would it not be good Christian charity to present them with fine canonical arguments?
19488Would it not have been madness after that to doubt the existence of witches?
19488[ 1347][ Footnote 1347: When the King set out in France, he had his gaiters greased; and the Queen asked him: whither will wend these damoiseaux?
19488[ 1512] Did not saints commonly receive crowns from angels''hands?
19488[ 1647] Then who represented her as a great war leader?
19488[ 1806] Was it Saint Catherine''s sword?
19488[ 1862] What was she doing there?
19488[ 1872] What became of all this artillery and of these brave folk?
19488[ 1897] What price did the Maid give for this house?
19488[ 1900] But what was her idea in taking this house?
19488[ 1916] Who but the mendicants directing her can have put these crusading ideas into Jeanne''s head?
19488[ 1955] Did she obtain him in return for money?
19488[ 2067] Why not have this Armagnac prophetess tried by the assembled Fathers?
19488[ 2096] But what power had this good dame against the Norman gold of the King of England and against the anathemas of Holy Church?
19488[ 2214] Fearless simplicity; whence came her confidence in her Voices if not from her own heart?
19488[ 2261] Or had she caught this manner of speech with the habit of dealing hard clouts and good blows from the men- at- arms of her company?
19488[ 2324] Did the judges of Rouen imagine that she wore a golden halo, like the saints, and that this halo had protected her?
19488[ 2330] Were the judges accusing her or her followers of having feigned to surrender in order treacherously to attack the enemy?
19488[ 2351] Was she a heretic or was she a saint?
19488[ 2482] Who better than they knew the injustice of these reproaches?
19488[ 262] And why should he not have favoured the French who worshipped him with peculiar devoutness?
19488[ 291] Who taught her this?
19488[ 528] But what about the rest of the defenders?

7961Ah, Henri, you have come for these ladies?
7961Ah, mesdames, what will you have? 7961 Ah, monsieur, how could you pass us by?"
7961Ah- h- h, ya- as-- lovely porch-- isn''t it?
7961Ah- h-- do you, really? 7961 Ah-- you found him too highly seasoned?"
7961And Molière? 7961 And do those gentlemen complain and put upon us the death of their horses?
7961And the blonde one-- what do you think of her,_ hein_?
7961And the blonde-- the handsome man at the creamery, he is the future--?
7961And the change-- why has it come?
7961And the widow,_ La Veuve_, shall she be dry or sweet?
7961And what do you call his first period, dear mademoiselle?

7961And why not? 7961 Another carriage-- and why?"

7961Been here a year-- but you, when did you arrive? 7961 Bored-- with all the tricks I was playing?
7961Bossuet, if I remember rightly, was with the Duke de La Rochefoucauld at the last, was he not?
7961But these people, who are they, and how did you--?
7961Could n''t have chosen better if we''d tried, could we? 7961 Dear Madame Le Mois-- and it goes well with you?
7961Did she not once write you a pretty little series of epigrams about not writing?
7961Did you ever read Zola''s''Quatre Saisons?''
7961Do you hear that, mesdames? 7961 Do you know our curé?
7961Do you think these ladies want to spend the night on the_ grève_? 7961 Economical?"
7961Fine--_beau-- ca?_And there was a deep scorn in Jacques''s voice.
7961For your horse? 7961 Good- day, good- day, my friend; how goes it?
7961Guide- books-- what''s the use of guide- books? 7961 Happy,_ mesdames?
7961Have you Poulette?
7961Have you been out on the mussel- beds?
7961Have you heard from Madame de La Fayette recently?
7961Henri, did you get in all the rags?
7961Henri-- you think we should go back; you think going on to Honfleur a mistake?
7961Here''s a church-- he said nothing about a church, did he?
7961How can any town have such a stench with all this river and water and verdure to sweeten it?
7961How did they abuse it?
7961How many times in the annals of crime is a man guilty-- really guilty? 7961 I wonder how posterity will treat them?
7961If Filon is condemned, what would happen to them?
7961Is he afraid?
7961Is it dangerous? 7961 Is she-- young?"
7961It goes well, Madame Jean? 7961 It is she who will not sleep--""Poor soul, are her children with her?"
7961It''s a beautiful scheme, and it''s as dramatic as the fifth act of a play; but what shall we do with her?
7961It''s fine,_ hein_, and beautiful,_ hein?_ It is the Duke''s!
7961It''s the curé dusting the altar-- shall I go in?
7961Madame de La Fayette truly mourned him-- don''t you think so? 7961 Of what crime is the defendant guilty-- he who is to be tried to- night?"
7961Oh, I loved him tenderly; how could one help it? 7961 Oh, you do them injustice, I think-- the guides do go in for a little more of the picturesque than that--""And how-- how do they do it?
7961Oh-- the De Troisacs? 7961 Pretty?"
7961Protestants? 7961 Shall I conduct you?"
7961Shall you be going to the trial to- night?
7961She could rule a kingdom-- hey, Paul?
7961Speaking of dying reminds me--cried suddenly Madame de Sévigné--"how are the duke''s hangings getting on?"
7961Splendid creature, is n''t she?
7961Surely, mesdames, you will not miss the_ fête_? 7961 That will be the next wedding-- what shall I devise for that?
7961The seats to be reserved in the tribune were for these ladies?
7961The very best patch- maker I have found lives in the rue St. Denis, at the sign of La Perle des Mouches; have you discovered him, dear friend?
7961The village?
7961Then, if you have ceased to believe in love, why did you go so religiously to Monsieur Caro''s lectures?
7961Was she so handsome then as they say she was-- at that time?
7961We came over by boat-- from Havre,we murmured meekly; then,"Is there a cake- shop near?"
7961We''ll go this afternoon-- Have you been to Honfleur? 7961 Well, and who asked you to talk?"
7961What will you have? 7961 When were you ever under sentence?"
7961Where are they going-- along the highroad?
7961Where did he say the old curé was?
7961Where is your daughter, and how is she?
7961Who is she? 7961 Why are they so unlike?"
7961Why did n''t you let me know you were here, yesterday,_ Hein_? 7961 Why do n''t you show them how it can be done?"
7961Why should they all be old?
7961Why should we not go,she asked,"across the next field, into that farm house yonder, and beg for a glass of milk?"
7961Will not_ ces dames_ give themselves the trouble of entering? 7961 Will you not come in, mesdames?
7961Will_ ces dames_ join me in a marauding expedition? 7961 Wo n''t she be hard to get?
7961Yes, ca n''t you see? 7961 You have children-- you have lost someone?"
7961You know Lower Brittany very well, do you not, dear friend?
7961You permit me, mesdames?
7961You were not bored,_ chère enfant_, driving Monsieur d''Agreste all that long distance?
7961You-- you esteemed him yourself very highly, did you not?
7961_ Ah, ma bonne_, how came that? 7961 _ Ah, mesdames-- que voulez- vous?_"was the old priest''s broken chant; he was bewailing the woes that had come to his order, to religion, to France.
7961_ Allons, mes filles-- doucement, là- bas-- et vos lits? 7961 _ Bonjour, mère--_""_ Bonjour, ma fille_--it goes well?"
7961_ Bonjour, mère_, how goes it?
7961_ C''est joli à voir_--it''s a pretty sight,_ hein_, my ladies? 7961 _ C''est très femme, çà-- hein, mademoiselle?_"And the cobbler cocked his head in critical pose, with a philosopher''s smile.
7961_ Ces dames_ wished rooms, they desired lodgings and board--_ces dames_ were alone?
7961_ Could_ you go this afternoon? 7961 _ E''ben, toi_--and thou wishest to proclaim to the world what a gymnast thou art-- swinging on thy perch?
7961_ E''ben-- et toi_--what do you want?
7961_ Est- il assez ridicule, lui?_ with his cap over his nose, and his knees knocking at everyone''s door? 7961 _ Est- il assez ridicule, lui?_ with his cap over his nose, and his knees knocking at everyone''s door?
7961_ Pas mal-- e''vous, M''sieur Renard?_"All right-- and the mortgage, how goes that?
7961_ Pas mal-- e''vous, M''sieur Renard?_"All right-- and the mortgage, how goes that?
7961_ Que voulez- vous, mesdames?_ Who could have told that the wind would play us such a trick?
7961_ Que voulez- vous, mesdames?_ Who could have told that the wind would play us such a trick?
7961_ Vous permettez?_asked the baroness, leaning over coquettishly to Monsieur d''Agreste''s cigar.
7961_ Were_ you there this morning?
7961Again I ask, why did he not disfigure this fair scene, and put out something of the beauty of the day?
7961Ah, madame, you are off already?
7961And Monsieur Paul?"
7961And by what magic also does a French village or city, even at its least animated period, convey to one the fact of its nationality?
7961And if of a hobby you can make a principle--""A principle?"
7961And madame herself was only mortal, for what woman lives but feels herself uplifted by the sense of having found favor in the eyes of her priest?
7961And now,"waving his hand toward us,"what do you propose to do with these ladies while you are painting?"
7961And the good citizen answers-- he has gone with the mayor to prop him up--''Which half will you take?
7961And the gout and the rheumatism, they have ceased to torment you?
7961And the picture, where is it?"
7961And the pilgrim, abashed, ashamed, would quickly make answer, if he were born of the right parents:"_ Chère_ madame, how was I to believe my eyes?
7961And tired, too,_ hein_, with the long walk?
7961And why?
7961And you, monsieur, you too leave us?
7961And you-- you''ve lost your tongue, it seems?"
7961As reminders of this old life, what is left?
7961Between the two, sea and river meet; is the river really trying to lose itself in the sea, or is it hopelessly attempting to swallow the sea?
7961But Monsieur d''Alençon, what did you think of him,_ hein_?
7961But here we are, at the top; it''s a fine outlook, is it not?"
7961But it is only a little danger, and danger makes the charm of travel, is it not so, my ladies?
7961But what can quench the fountain of French vivacity?
7961But what will you have?
7961But when are such things investigated?
7961Curse thy withered legs, and is it thus thou stumbleth?
7961Did you know she had had un_ nini_ this morning?
7961Did you see Jésu and the Magdalen?
7961Dieu-- why could n''t the republic have continued those glories--_ces gloires?
7961Do sane, reasonable mortals travel three thousand miles to read ancient history done up in modern binding, served up a la Murray, a la Baedeker?"
7961Do you really wish to rent the house?"
7961Do you remember how alarmed she would become when listening to music?"
7961Germain?"
7961Have you your little victoria and Poulette?"
7961He pleads for Filon, the culprit, to- night, does he not?"
7961He was desolated, but his inn was already full; it was crowded to repletion with people; surely these ladies knew it was the week of the races?
7961He went on in a quieter key:"But why am I always preaching and talking about death and eternity to two such ladies-- two such children?
7961He, the horse, the omnibus, and we, all waited for, what do you suppose?
7961Henri, did you bring any ice?"
7961Henri, just help the ladies, will you?"
7961Horace had need of rose- leaves to embalm his disappointments, for had he not cooled his passions by plunging into the bath of literature?
7961How can she be made to sit, a stiffened image of clay, after this life of freedom, this athletic struggle out here-- with these winds and tides?"
7961How could one eat seriously, with vulgar, gluttonous hunger, of a feast spread on the parapet of a terrace- wall?
7961How could we hope to make a Frenchman comprehend an instinctive impulse to turn our backs on the Trouville world?
7961How could you keep_ ces dames_ waiting like this?
7961How does it come about, that he is converted?
7961How goes it?
7961How goes the picture?
7961How is this?
7961How many I use?
7961How old, for instance, should you think that girl was, over there?"
7961I hear she has been fortunate in her choice of directors, has she not?
7961If the children did n''t walk, how could the procession be so fine?"
7961Is it Greek, is it Christian, this festival?
7961Is it because the French peasant seems now to be an inseparable adjunct of the Frenchman''s landscape?
7961Is it set up yet?
7961Is it that we have such a respect for French thrift, that a real forest seems a waste of timber?
7961Is it the mission of all flowing water to create an unrest in men''s minds?
7961It is a meekness, however, which does not hint of humiliation; for, after all, what humiliation can there be in being thoroughly understood?
7961It is idyllically lovely, is it not-- under such a sun?"
7961It was surely a stage set for a real comedy; some of these high- coiffed ladies, who knows?
7961It was to remind monsieur le president that the_ concierge_ was in a temper; would it not be better for him, the_ huissier_, to close the windows?
7961It''s a fair deal, is n''t it?
7961Last year I did the Jumièges sculptures; they fit in well, do they not?"
7961Loisette is waiting;_ la pauvre enfant_--perhaps suffering too-- how do I know?
7961Not quite so stiff,_ hein_--in such a bath of sunlight as this?
7961Now, however, he broke forth:"Shall we enter, my ladies?"
7961One must go as far as Paris-- to the theatre; one must hear a great play-- and even there, when does an actor make you weep as he did?
7961One of your models?"
7961Perhaps_ ces dames_, being strangers, did not know that Trouville was now beginning its real season-- its season of baths?
7961Pray pardon the impertinence of a personal question-- but we hear that American young ladies read Zola; is it true?"
7961Really, were you?"
7961Shall I conduct you to your rooms?"
7961She responded, with perfect good humor:"Why not?--why not try to discover beauties in nature?
7961So you are_ deux affreuses hérétiques_?
7961That even deformity has been so handled by the realists as to make us see beauty in ugliness?
7961That long scroll of tapestry, for truth and a naive perfection of sincerity-- where will you find it equalled or even approached?
7961The dove''s voice was trolling its sweetness, as she went on--"Eggs, monsieur?
7961The driver turned to look in at the window-- and to nod as he turned-- he felt so certain of our sympathy; had he not made sure of them at last?
7961The innkeeper was only a man; and since Adam, when has any member of that sex been known to say"No"to a pretty woman?
7961The mère''s insult was drowned in a storm of voices?
7961The priests?
7961The spectacle went to his heart; these gentlemen were again in a draught?
7961Their neighbors stopped to cry up to them:"_ Tendez vous, aujourd''hui?_"It is the universal question, heard everywhere.
7961There should be a trifle more shadow under the chin, what do you think?"
7961They also were looking at the moonlight, and one of them was singing to it:"_ Te souviens- tu, Marie, De notre enfance aux champs?_"_ Te souviens- tu?
7961They also were looking at the moonlight, and one of them was singing to it:"_ Te souviens- tu, Marie, De notre enfance aux champs?_"_ Te souviens- tu?
7961Think you, with such a task on hand, this city- ful of artists had time for frivolous idling?
7961This spring in the air was all very well, but how would it affect the sauces?
7961Was it even conceivable a father of a young family would lead an innocent lad into error, fraud, and theft?
7961Was it her fault if_ ces dames_ knew what comfort and cleanliness were?
7961Was the priest''s summary the last word of truth about modern France?
7961We had come far?
7961We were as wet as ducks, but what cared we?
7961Well, and how about obedience to our parents,_ hein_--how about that?"
7961Well, how are you?
7961Well, think you the subscription was for restorations,_ mesdames_?
7961Well,_ hein_, also?
7961Were the maids-- were Marianne or Lizette neglecting their work to flirt with the coachmen in the sheds yonder?
7961What a day,_ hein_?
7961What are juries for if they do n''t kill such rascals as he?"
7961What can I do with them?
7961What did the provinces want with Paris?
7961What do I hear?"
7961What do they teach you, anyway?
7961What do you think of old Dives and Monsieur Paul, and the rest of it?
7961What is his reputation worth, as a shrewd, sharp man of business, if a little thing like cheating stops him?
7961What is it to be a Protestant?
7961What is that?
7961What of_ his_''Misanthrope?''
7961What possible difference could it make to us whether we were landed at Trouville or at Villerville?
7961What shall I wear?"
7961What was it this world of sight- seers came up to the Mont for to see?
7961What was this order, this command the quick Percheron hearing had overheard?
7961What, pray, had we just now to do with fashion-- with the purring accents of boudoirs, with all the life we had run away from?
7961What?
7961What?
7961When at Rome was he not always sighing for his Sabine farm, and when at the farm always regretting Rome?
7961When one has an instep of ideal elevation, what is the use of being born a Frenchwoman, unless one knows how to make use of opportunity?
7961Where do you breakfast?"
7961Where was the_ concierge_?
7961Who and what was this neighbor, that he should have so curious and eccentric a taste in clothes?
7961Who cares whether Honfleur has been done to death by the tourist horde or not?
7961Who could stand by and see good candles blowing uselessly in the wind, and one''s money going along with the dripping?
7961Who does not know and love a French window, the higher up in the world of air the better?
7961Who really enjoys being left behind, to mope in a corner of the world others have abandoned?
7961Who would have looked to see a company of Norman provincials talking morality, and handling ethics with the skill of rhetoricians?
7961Why can not we all attain to an innkeeper''s altitude, as a point of view from which to look out upon the world?
7961Why does a man''s presence always seem to communicate such surprising animation to a woman-- to any woman?
7961Why is it that a forest is always a surprise in France?
7961Why is it that one is made to feel the companionable element, by instantaneous process, as it were, in a Frenchman and in his towns?
7961Why not emulate his calm, when people who have done with us turn their backs and stalk away?
7961Why not push on to Coutances, where the Fête was still celebrated with a mediaeval splendor?
7961Why not, like him, count the pennies as not all the payment received when a pleasure has come which can not be footed up in the bill?
7961Why should not a peasant, in blouse and sabots, with a grinning idiot face, have put the picture out?
7961Will you come?"
7961Will you have a less stormy and belligerent company to people the hill?
7961Will you have a''Marie Louise,''mademoiselle?"
7961Will you join me-- over there?"
7961Will you not rest a while after your long walk?"
7961With a charming outburst of enthusiasm she exclaimed aloud:"What a beauty, and youth, and tenderness this spring has, has it not?"
7961Would we wait for another cup?
7961Would you call it a town-- this one straggling street that begins in a King''s gateway and ends-- ah, that is the point, just where does it end?
7961Would_ ces dames_ give themselves the trouble of entering?
7961You are not Catholics?
7961You forgot?"
7961You hoped for a landau, and feathers and cushions, perhaps?
7961You remember what one of her commands was, do n''t you?"
7961You took the trouble to drive along the coast this fine day?
7961You were in luck-- in luck; why was n''t I there?"
7961You were with her a great deal, were you not, after his death?"
7961_ En voilà une_--did you remark the pretty one, with the book, seated, all in white?
7961_ Mais, que voulez- vous?
7961_ Tiens_--who was he talking to now?
7961and been painted until one''s art- stomach turns?
7961are there deep holes?"
7961c''est gai par ici, n''est- ce pas?_ One has the sun all to one''s self, and air!
7961if they preferred"_ des chambres garnies avec goût, vraiment artistiques_"--to rooms fit only for peasants?
7961mesdames, you did n''t expect this,_ hein_?
7961pay two_ sous octroi_ on a bottle of one''s own wine, that one had had in one''s cellar for half a lifetime?
7961qui les fait-- les bons saints du paradis, peut- être?_"And Marianne and Lizette would slink away to the waiting beds.
7961these gentlemen proposed to walk, in the sun, through clouds of dust, when here was a carriage, with ladies for companions, at their command?
7961with the bad season, the rains, the banks failing, the-- but you, madame, are well?
7961would they permit their trunks to be sent for?
7961would they see the house or the garden first?
7961you are Protestant?
9479A cartel?
9479Ah, is it so?
9479Ah, yes, who?
9479Ah, yes; punishment-- how does that sound, Napoleon?
9479Alone? 9479 And are not my sister''s tears a reason, sir, when I can not remedy their cause?"
9479And do you wish, then,said Mabille,"that old Bauer should be under obligation to me, for example, who can pay little or nothing toward the feast?"
9479And how did you do it, Frenchman?
9479And how do you all? 9479 And how good luck, Father Nonesuch?"
9479And is he obstinate still, Uncle Lucien?
9479And is it you again? 9479 And that was Italy, was it?"
9479And the water? 9479 And what did you dream?"
9479And what do you say, Napoleon?
9479And what does he do in his grotto?
9479And what great stories have you been telling yourself today in your grotto?
9479And what is your history, Father Nonesuch?
9479And what lists, pray?
9479And what, then, your Majesty, was I, your brother,--an emperor perhaps?
9479And who gave it to him, then? 9479 And why not?"
9479And why not?
9479And will you never ask it?
9479And yet you cry?
9479And you have fought a duel, my General?
9479Are you afraid they may? 9479 Are you, then, as dull as those English?
9479But if you did wish it, would you do it, Napoleon?
9479But those hill dwellers can not read; do you not know that, you silly?
9479But what, then, is the matter, my dear?
9479But when we stand back to back, who then is the taller? 9479 But where is Napoleon?"
9479But why give him a feast? 9479 But why should you favor this boy and his family?
9479But why? 9479 But why?"
9479But will not your nurse, Saveria, come to look for us?
9479But, Eliza,she said,"what does he say-- Napoleon-- when he talks to himself in his grotto over there?"
9479By which you mean,he said,"that I am the enemy''s camp, and you propose to forage on me for provisions, eh?
9479Can we, then, never work out your Corsican brutality?
9479Come, come, my Louis,he cried;"what is the matter this morning?
9479Did you not hear why d''Hebonville proposed the supper? 9479 Did you think they would not?
9479Do you not hear me, Napoleon?
9479Does he come here all alone?
9479Does he-- Napoleon-- ever get whipped?
9479Eh, yes, you say, at Waterloo; and you say we lost it? 9479 Enough?"
9479Has he confessed, or asked your pardon?
9479Have I? 9479 Have you been in mischief?
9479He did not? 9479 How but by word of mouth?"
9479How much is it?
9479How much, my dear, is necessary to quiet this great sorrow?
9479How, then, can you send a challenge?
9479I afraid?
9479I am no gentleman, say you?
9479Is he in there now?
9479Little Straw- nose is a plucky one, is he not, though?
9479My history?
9479Na- pailli- au- nez, is it? 9479 Near enough, Alexander,"Napoleon replied;"but I love you fifty- six times better than any of the other boys; and what would you have, my friend?
9479No; I mean does he not let any of you come here with him?
9479Run away? 9479 Shall we not, then?"
9479Then, why not be a man, and not a baby?
9479Was ever anything more humiliating?
9479Was not I in command?
9479We said,''How do we like it, my general? 9479 Well, I do n''t care,"Panoria declared;"even if it is your mamma''s, it is-- but how is it your mamma''s?"
9479Well, and is your uncle the canon''s garden more sacred than any one else''s garden?
9479Well, and what about''dear old Bauer,''as you call him?
9479Well, and what said the emperor?
9479Well, my valiant soldiers of the king,laughed Monsieur Barlet,"what is the best way out?
9479Well, what if it does?
9479Well, what say thou, Nonesuch,--you and your histories?
9479Well, what would you have?--always feasting? 9479 Well?"
9479Were your brains shot away, old Nonesuch?
9479What can I do? 9479 What do you suppose he is thinking about?"
9479What if we should go in there, Eliza?
9479What is snow for, my brothers,he exclaimed,"if not to be used?
9479What is this? 9479 What is your name, new boy?"
9479What say you, boys, to a cartel?
9479What shall we do? 9479 What should I confess?
9479What was he, then? 9479 What were you doing here, all alone?"
9479What, the Little Gibraltar?
9479What, then, does he whip you?
9479Where are you, runaways? 9479 Where is Napoleon?
9479Where, then, is the difference between telling a lie and acting one by keeping quiet, if both mislead?
9479Which hand was it?
9479Who has taken the canon''s fruit?
9479Who is afraid of him? 9479 Who is it that has taken the fruit from the basket of your uncle the canon?"
9479Who knows?
9479Who will exchange chestnut bread for the best town bread in Ajaccio?
9479Who would build an oven here, tell me?
9479Who, then, will take part in your feast?
9479Whom, old deaf ears? 9479 Why did you not learn, then, father?"
9479Why did you not tell me this?
9479Why did you run from me, naughty ones?
9479Why do you say that?
9479Why does he walk like that?
9479Why should I confess?
9479Why should he not? 9479 Why should it not be so?
9479Why, Eliza, my dear child, what is the matter?
9479Why, tell me; what has the boy done?
9479Why?
9479Will you be good to me?
9479Would you then dare?
9479You know it all, do you not? 9479 You?
9479''And now, what place are we to conquer?''
9479''Come, then, comrade; speak quickly,''said the emperor;''what is it you wish?''
9479''Do you know how to read and write?''
9479''Eh?
9479''Is he our patron?
9479''Is this one a teacher?''
9479''Will you follow me again?''
9479--''And who is Napoleon?''
9479--''Help you do what?''
9479A letter to the British Admiralty?
9479A woman?"
9479Am I not miserable?"
9479Am I right, brother Charles?"
9479And so they would keep you on bread and water?
9479And when I became a soldier, what do you suppose prevented my learning?"
9479And why should he accuse the little girls?
9479And you have nothing left?"
9479And you take your part here with the boys, do you not?"
9479Are not we two of the six selected for the artillery?
9479Are you cowards, or will you meet them in battle?''
9479As he glanced at himself in the mirror, the girls giggled again, and their mother said,--"Silly ones, why do you laugh?
9479But are you not on duty here?"
9479But as to his being dead, eh?
9479But shall we?"
9479But what then?
9479But which one?
9479But which one?"
9479But who could resist us?
9479But why will you not ask for pardon?"
9479Could it be that the old gentleman suspected him of pilfering?
9479Could they have conquered except for him?
9479Did I not tell you I did not touch the fruit?"
9479Do n''t forget your Uncle Lucien, you boy, when you are famous, will you?"
9479Do they not know a truth- teller when they see one?
9479Do you think so, Eliza?"
9479Have they been scolding you here?"
9479Have you taken a drink of it, yet?"
9479Have you trouble with your lessons?"
9479He filled his well at last, did he not?
9479He thinks, because he has seen the republic, the consulate, the empire, the hundred days, the kingdom"--"And is not that enough, youngster?"
9479How dare you lay hands on me, a Frenchman?"
9479How do you think the grand minister of war would have felt to get such a lecturing on discipline from a boy at school?
9479How was it with Puss- in- Boots, girls?
9479How will your Mamma Letitia like that?
9479I am not brave, you say?
9479I am number fifty- six; pretty near to the foot that, eh?"
9479I do n''t believe I could; nor you, Napoleon, could you?"
9479I made promises to you; have I kept them?''
9479I mean my quality, my-- my title, my-- well-- my sex,--indeed, what am I?"
9479I wonder how he is now?"
9479Is a little arrogant Corsican to defy all France, and Brienne school besides?
9479Is he the king?
9479Is he the pope?''
9479Is it because he is canon of the cathedral here at Ajaccio that they are all so afraid of him?"
9479Is it making mud- pies?
9479Is it not abominable, the way these schools of St. Cyr and the Paris military are run?
9479Is it not so, Uncle Lucien?"
9479Is it not so?"
9479Is it playing with the pretty pebbles?
9479Is it right for sons to refuse the love of their fathers, or for boys to reject the friendships of their elders?
9479Is not our uncle the canon beyond all others?"
9479Is not that better than your''Thousand and One Nights,''youngster?"
9479Is our new uniform so marvellous a change that you do not recognize Lieutenant Bonaparte?"
9479Is this so, or not so?"
9479My father is an officer of France; yours is"--"Well, sir, and what is mine?"
9479Napoleon called out,"and how is that brute of a Bouquet?"
9479Napoleon spoke of this frequently to the friends he made; but both Demetrius and Alexander laughed at him, and said,"Well, what of it?
9479Now, which one, I wonder?
9479Of mastery, do you hear?
9479Permission to enter the British navy as a midshipman, eh?
9479Possessions of the English, is it?
9479Shall we be whipped by a lot of shepherd boys, garlic lovers, eaters of chestnut bread?
9479Soldiers of France, you must dislodge them!''?"
9479Soldiers of Italy, how do you like that?''"
9479Stubborn still?
9479Suppose it had been taken by one of his sisters, or by Panoria, their guest?
9479That is a nice, brotherly letter, is it not?
9479The emperor a man?
9479Then all of us set to wondering,''What can I do?
9479Then he added:"Bouquet will no doubt die, and then what will you do?"
9479Then she asked her father,"But he may have a little cheese with his bread, may he not, papa?"
9479Then who so great as he?
9479Then who so great as the Little Corporal?
9479They may go with me, eh, Madame?"
9479Touch it?
9479Two deaths?
9479Two deaths?
9479Was I not right?
9479Was not my mother, Saveria, Madame Letitia''s servant?
9479Was she not, too, nurse to the little Napoleon?
9479What do I like best to do?''
9479What do you say to giving him a little supper, in the name of the school?"
9479What do you say?"
9479What else is my garden?
9479What have I received but scorn and insult from these Frenchmen?
9479What have you done?"
9479What if they did?
9479What is the matter?''
9479What is the trouble?"
9479What line of conduct, my Napoleon, would you adopt, if you were besieged in a fortress and were destitute of provisions?"
9479What say you to a snow fort and a siege?
9479What say you to that?"
9479What shall I ask for?
9479What would you think of that, Panoria?"
9479Where are you hidden?"
9479Where is Napoleon?
9479Where is Pauline?"
9479Where is Pauline?"
9479Who did, then?"
9479Who else, then, could have taken the fruit?
9479Who had taken the fruit?
9479Who was it said just now that the emperor was a man?
9479Who will join me?"
9479Why did you take my fruit?"
9479Why should I not become a midshipman in your navy?
9479Why should n''t we do as we please?"
9479Why, what do you mean?"
9479Why?
9479Will you do so?"
9479Will you insist on that too?"
9479Will you now ask your Uncle Lucien''s pardon?"
9479Would he dare accuse him of the crime?
9479Would you have us all digs and hermits-- like you?
9479Would you not like to go with us, Napoleon?
9479Yes?
9479You came for a drink of water; but, how was it after that,--eh, my friend?"
9479You do not know if you know?''
9479You remember Lodi, Corsican?"
9479You remember that box-- that fort, Corsican, do you not?"
9479You will not say"--and here she laughed again--"that it is your uncle the canon who has stolen his own fruit?"
9479You will not?
9479You would draw my portrait in your copy- book?
9479Your great uncle, the Canon Lucien?"
9479[ Illustration:"''The Emperor was-- the Emperor''cried old Nonesuch"]"Did you never hear of it?
9479[ Illustration:"_ What''you will not ask Monsieur the Count''s pardon?
9479[ Illustration:"_''And you have fought a duel, my General''?
9479and the last,''Saint Helena, a little island;''and where might it be, that Saint Helena, young Bonaparte?"
9479and what if you were the master?"
9479and what will you do?"
9479and who is the greater baby?"
9479and why did she run?
9479and why have you opened it?
9479and you are not invited?"
9479answer Madame here What is the matter?"
9479as the plough cuts through the ground,--''Are you not an Egyptian, my grenadier?''
9479but that was grand,"cried the youngster;"and you said?"
9479cried Joseph;"why do you not ask pardon?"
9479cried the little girl,"what if they should always give you just bread and water and cheese?"
9479cried the new- comer,"what are you doing at the sideboard?
9479cried the teacher,"is this the way you seek to become a gentleman and officer of your king?
9479echoed the one called"the youngster,"whose grizzled locks showed him to be at least fifty years old,"Enough?
9479exclaimed the young fellow of fifty;"hear old Father Nonesuch, will you, comrades?
9479have you no manners?
9479he cried;"was ever anything more unjust?
9479he exclaimed;"and what, then, will you call me?"
9479he said half- aloud;"who has dared to touch the fruit of my uncle the canon?
9479here is a plenty to eat, and just what my own boy likes, does he not?
9479is Saveria, too, afraid of him?"
9479is not Napoleon for all the world like-- like Lieutenant Puss- in- Boots?"
9479may I not do it for you?"
9479one of the big boys called out to the new scholar,"and what is Corsica?
9479one of the big boys standing by exclaimed;"and who is your father, Straw- nose?"
9479said Panoria;"and was it wrong?
9479sneered Bouquet;"and who are you to command?
9479stubborn still?"
9479take this headstrong boy to the kitchen, and lay the whip upon him well, do you hear?
9479that reminds me of my first years at Brienne; we were happy there, were we not?"
9479the spy cried out;"and what is the baby doing?
9479they boast, do they?"
9479they will not yield?
9479was he a man?
9479was that all?"
9479what are you doing?"
9479what does all this mean?"
9479what of that?
9479what said I?
9479what was that to us?
9479what would you do?"
9479where are your wits?"
9479why should they?
9479why, what should we?"
9479you here?"
9479you will not ask Monsieur the Count''s pardon, as a rebel should?
9479you wish to be a secretary, eh?''
10665Answer me this: Can you give yourself a lively or sedate disposition? 10665 Come, now, Monsieur le Marquis,"said the tutor with alacrity,"Quem habuit successorem Belus rex Assiriorum?"
10665Do you believe that the outward appearance of virtue guarantees the heart against the assaults of love? 10665 Finally, who are the men the most reasonable for women of that kind?
10665In spite of all these obstacles with which she is curbed, how often does it not happen that love overcomes them all? 10665 Madame,"he inquired,"at what age does the sentiment, passion, or desire of love cease in the female heart?"
10665Pray, what flag are you fighting under, and what body do you command?
10665Shall I give you another proof of the justice of my ideas? 10665 Tell me this: Is a society woman obliged to have an attachment?
10665That may be,she replied,"but do you know the reason?
10665What characters are susceptible of such a sentiment? 10665 What is a dangerous love?
10665What is the world''s idea of a virtuous woman? 10665 What language is this?"
10665What poison can the sweetness of making still another one happy instill into the loveliest life? 10665 What, tears?"
10665You know,she told Fontenelle,"what use I make of my body?
10665( Let no vain hope now come and try, My courage strong to overthrow; My age demands that I shall die, What more can I do here below?)
10665( Whom did Belus, king of the Assyrians, have for successor?)
10665According to her, I am very much at fault concerning women?
10665Adieu, my friend, why is it not"Good day?"
10665After all, why do you deem it necessary to make a formal declaration of love?
10665After all, why should you not prefer to have her dissemble her sentiments toward you, if you are the source of their inspiration?
10665Ah, am I to be blessed?"
10665Ah, if I could only hope that my happiness might endure, how feeble would be my resistance?
10665Ah, my son, by what fatality have you compelled me to reveal this secret?
10665Am I so bold as to play the iconoclast with an accredited superstition?
10665And for what reason?
10665And since it was said that we make it a duty to deceive you, what obligation do you not owe us?
10665And these tears which my condition has drawn from your eyes-- tell me, are they shed through indifference or hate?
10665And what recompense do they offer us for the cruel torments to which they have condemned us?
10665And what sort of profit is there in the methods employed?
10665Are not these the inconveniences which my morality leads you to apprehend?
10665Are not you, yourselves, to blame if we treat you thus?
10665Are rivalries and jealousies recognized in metaphysics?
10665Are serious qualities the only question in pastimes of the heart?
10665Are there many women like her?
10665Are they wrung from your heart by pity, by tenderness?
10665Are you ashamed to avow a sensibility which honors humanity?"
10665Are you free to defend yourself against a violent passion?
10665At last, after so many uncertainties, after so many revolutions in your imagination, you are sure you are loved?
10665At least is that day very far off?
10665Besides, do you not know, Marquis, that the being on earth who thinks the most evil of women, is a woman?
10665But after all, are they wrong to consider them rivals?
10665But after all, why should you complain, Monsieur, the metaphysician?
10665But by what right do you talk thus?
10665But do you not know, Monsieur, that the most austere conduct does not guard a woman from the shafts of malice?
10665But do you wish me to talk to you with my customary frankness?
10665But does not your inexperience and your curiosity justify whatever I have written so far, and whatever I may yet write you on this subject?
10665But how often does it happen that this same sacrifice is only a by play?
10665But how to reconcile all this?
10665But if we delude ourselves as to the means of holding you, how often do men deceive themselves as to the proofs of our love?
10665But ought I to continue to write you?
10665But was it not also vanity which aided a trifle in fortifying your illusion?
10665But what could he exact?
10665But what could she offer in the way of superior seductive pleasures to a pair who had tasted pure and natural enjoyments?
10665But what had poor humanity done to them?
10665But will you not abuse my credulity?
10665But with us, what they consider a mark of esteem and sincerity, is it anything else than the contrary?
10665But you ask me: What is your opinion of Epicurus?
10665But, after all, are they not right?
10665But, do you really believe, Marquis, that if everything I have said on this subject be made public, the women would be offended?
10665But, my dear child, what do you mean to do with these chimeras of reason?
10665But, what matters it to what we owe our virtue, provided we have it?
10665But, what will you have?
10665By what right, if you please, do you venture to take exceptions to it?
10665Can any one give me a definition of it?"
10665Can it be because you have read about such things in our old romances, in which the proceedings in courtship were as solemn as those of the tribunals?
10665Can love flourish where horror fills the soul?
10665Can not women be inconstant without being unjust?
10665Can one be happier than in sharing the happiness of friends?
10665Can two merchants who have the same goods to sell become good neighbors?
10665Can you find anything in love more enchanting than the resistance of a woman who implores you not to take advantage of her weakness?
10665Can you hope ever to recover from the fantasies to which you surrender yourself, those moments of delight which were formerly your supreme felicity?
10665Can you not draw from this that it is not your indiscretions which vex us?
10665Can you say a man is brave before he has ever fought?
10665Cet enchanteur qui vous a retenue Depuis trois ans par un charme nouveau Vous retient- il en quelque vieux château?
10665Comparing women to besieged castles, have I ever advanced the idea that there were some that had not been taken?
10665Could I imagine that the Countess was a woman to be captured by motives so little worthy of her?
10665Could any one tease another as you did me last evening?
10665Could you bear the reproach of having caused the death of so amiable a man?
10665Did the Chevalier find it difficult to persuade your Penelope?
10665Did you not notice that the woman who did the talking as I have related in my last letter, had a personal interest in maintaining her system?
10665Do I not deserve to be persecuted by all women for attacking their favorite cult?
10665Do not these errors prove the violence of passion?
10665Do not very strict minded people pretend that the passions and vices mean the same things?
10665Do they not understand and feel that it is not always the moment when they are tender which gives a blow to their reputation?
10665Do they raise up an altar to our heroism?
10665Do you count for nothing, the sufferings of the Marquise?
10665Do you know the measure of our satisfaction in such cases?
10665Do you know what I was doing while away?
10665Do you know who you are and who I am?
10665Do you know why lovers become nauseated so easily when enjoying prosperity?
10665Do you know why lovers become nauseated so easily when enjoying prosperity?
10665Do you know why?
10665Do you know?
10665Do you not feel in your soul a secret opposition to the tranquillity which you fancy your spirit has acquired?
10665Do you not perceive any difference in teaching you to please, and exciting you toward seduction?
10665Do you not see how she affects to rouse your jealousy by praising the Chevalier, your ancient rival?
10665Do you not see that my way of treating you is consistent with my principles?
10665Do you remember, Marquis, what Monsieur de Coulanges said to us one day?
10665Do you think that deep in my heart I desire to enjoy its charms less than you?
10665Do you wish me to place a true value on the talk she is giving you?
10665Do you wish me to tell you what makes love dangerous?
10665Do you wish to know what she is?
10665Does any one presume to make advances?
10665Does her esteem for them diminish that which she pretends for you?
10665Does it become me to listen to a passion like love?
10665Does not this prove that female virtue depends upon circumstances, and diminishes with pride?
10665Eh?
10665Even if you shall have obtained proofs of her inclination we spoke about recently, do you think that gives you any right to underrate her?
10665From that moment, what confidence will he not inspire?
10665From the manner in which the human heart is constituted, is it possible for it to be occupied with only one object?
10665Granting that love is the result of reflection, do you not see what a blow you are giving their vanity?
10665Had she not braved the Queen Regent with impunity?
10665Has severity ever produced inconstancy?"
10665Has she not raised between us that shadow of virtue that makes her sex adorable?
10665Have I ever told you to attack them by sensuality, and that in attacking them to suppose them without delicacy?
10665Have I nothing to fear in the undertaking we contemplate?
10665Have they profited by the caprice of an amiable woman to establish themselves in her heart?
10665Have you any fault to find?
10665Have you ever heard of a skillful general, who intends to surprise a citadel, announce his design to the enemy upon whom the storm is to descend?
10665Have you experimented with everybody according to your system?
10665Have you found, perchance, everything you required in the little mistress who is the cause of your dolorous martyrdom?
10665Have you not done everything to satiate your passion for the beloved object?
10665Her complaints are very singular, for, what is she deprived of?
10665Here I am at the top, how am I to descend?
10665How can I enumerate them all?
10665How can you think of such a thing?
10665How could I have said such a thing?
10665How could she appear in public in such a state?
10665How do I know, in a word, if, being interested in the happiness of a friend, the desire to serve her may not have sometimes diminished my sincerity?
10665How is that?
10665How many gradations there would be in the law I should impose upon myself to overlook them successively and even leisurely?
10665How many things they cherish although they set their faces against them?
10665How often are they exposed to a severity all the keener that it was unexpected?
10665How often has vexation made you say:"What is a woman''s heart?
10665How often have they stifled the most tender affection, and sacrificed it to the conventionalities of an establishment?
10665How to distinguish true lovers?
10665However, if I talk reason to you too often, will you not grow weary?
10665However, shall I tell you something?
10665However, to speak seriously, are your complaints just?
10665I call to mind, here, that in your preceding letter, you mentioned the allurements which the Countess thought proper to manifest?
10665I have blasphemed love; I have degraded it by calling it a"necessity?"
10665I have told you the motives which incline women to love, it is true, but have I ever said that they were easier to vanquish?
10665I pray you to let me know, yourself, whether you have grasped that happiness one enjoys so much at certain times?
10665I sometimes regret that I have furnished you weapons against my sex, without them would you ever have been able to touch the heart of the Countess?
10665I took the liberty of making some investigations, and would you believe it, Marquis?
10665IV The Spice of Love Do you know, Marquis, that you will end by putting me in a temper?
10665IX Love is a Natural Inclination So you have taken what I said about love in my last letter as a crime?
10665If I were a man and were so fortunate as to have captured the heart of a woman like the Countess, with what discretion I would use my advantages?
10665If her character were more decided, perhaps you would be better satisfied with her; but, even in that case would you be satisfied very long?
10665If she did not love him, what can you infer to your advantage from a pretended victory over a man who was indifferent to her?
10665If some women are in good faith on this point, how many are there who treat it as an illusion and wish to impose it upon you?
10665If two lovers would mutually explain, without reservation, the beginning and progress of their passion, what confidences would they not exchange?
10665If we are guilty, is it the right of him who has profited by our faults, who is the cause of them, to punish us?
10665If you know Barbin, ask him why he prints so many things that are not mine, over my name?
10665If you so promptly abandon a young and lovely woman, what would you do with an old girl like me?
10665If you were an object of indifference, would a woman take the trouble to avoid you?
10665In a word, why permit a man to love her, when she does not care ever to see him again?
10665In love as in war, does any one ever ask the victor whether he owes his success to force or skill?
10665In the eyes of a man of reason they appear too frivolous, you will say: but do you think they should be judged with so much severity?
10665In view of all these contrary authorities, how can the question be decided?
10665Indeed, for a sober- minded person, is there a spectacle more amusing than the contortions of a man in love?
10665Indeed, to tell them that it is purely a mechanical instinct which inclines them to flirt, would not that put them at their ease?
10665Is anyone master of his heart?
10665Is it by persuading a soldier that he will be vanquished that he is goaded into fighting with courage?
10665Is it my fault if I am furnished with disagreeable truths to utter?
10665Is it necessary for me to tell you the part you are to play?
10665Is it not the height of injustice and the depth of depravity to continue to insult the grief which is the cause of their changes?
10665Is it not trifling with sentiment?
10665Is it possible at my age to love or be loved?
10665Is it possible that after eight whole days of devoted attention she has not given you the least hope?
10665Is it your fault if her secret escaped?
10665Is love not a passion?
10665Is not that your thought?
10665Is she not exempt from tenderness?
10665Is she ugly?
10665Is their distaste always to be followed by some injurious act?
10665Is there a more delicious condition than that of a lover who is sure of being loved, and can there be any sweeter than at such moments?
10665Is there any one of your friends like de Tallard, imbued with the spirit of our age, to whom I can be of any service?
10665Is this losing too much time?
10665Is this not being odd and false?
10665Is this the tender and philosophic Ninon?
10665Is vice ever more seductive than when it wears the cloak of virtue?
10665It is not men they should be taught to fear, but themselves?
10665It is true you will not experience its pangs, but will you enjoy, in the least, its sweetness?
10665Let us inquire further into this: In what class do you find abandoned females?
10665Madame de Grignan''s illness will not permit you to visit us in our solitude?
10665Must women not have much of it to preserve it at such a price?
10665My indisposition continues, and I would feel like telling you that I never go out during the day, but would not that be giving you a rendezvous?
10665My very dear friend, would it not be well to permit the heart to speak its own language?
10665My zeal in your behalf has drawn your reproaches down upon me?
10665No doubt you admire my temerity?
10665No, but does the treachery of men deserve the same indulgence?
10665Now suppose a gentleman appears who expresses delicate sentiments, whose bearing is modest and respectful?
10665Now that our kings are so friendly, ought you not to pay us a visit?
10665Now, ought not you, who are a military man, to appreciate everything I say to you about talent?
10665Of how many amiable pleasures, unknown to men, would not I be the creator?
10665Of what importance to you is the hatred or love of a person whom you do not love?
10665Of what use are my counsels except to provide you with an additional triumph?
10665Old age is dreadful in itself, what must it not be when it is passed in remorse?
10665On the contrary, what are not the advantages of an intelligent, resourceful woman?
10665Ought I not first to take cognizance of the fact that there is more malice in your letter than criticism?
10665Ought not her refusal to be a thousand times more precious to a delicate minded lover than a positive declaration?
10665Really, why risk a declaration of love to a woman who takes a wicked pleasure in avoiding it on every occasion?
10665Saint- Evremond composed an elegy beginning with these lines: Chère Philis, qu''êtes vous devenues?
10665Shall I frankly avow it?
10665Shall I frankly avow it?
10665Shall I say it?
10665Shall I tell you how far injustice reaches?
10665Shall I tell you?
10665Shall we see you to- morrow at Madame la Presidente''s?
10665So I seem to contradict myself sometimes?
10665So Madame de La Fayette is of the opinion that my last letter is based upon rather a liberal foundation?
10665Suppose by force of importunities you should extract an"I love you,"what would you gain by it?
10665Suppose his inclination brings a lover to our knees, what can he accomplish with a woman who is only tender and pretty?
10665Tantôt c''était le naturel d''Hélène, Ses appétits comme tous ses appas; Tantôt c''était la probité romaine?
10665Tell me this: is the Countess responsible if she is not afflicted with the same delirium as soon as you begin to rave?
10665Tell me, Marquis, what have I done to Monsieur de Coulanges?
10665Tell me, what would you have me do with your learning, the geometry of your mind, with the precision of your memory, etc.?
10665That a woman who has served you as a Mentor, who has played the role of mother to you, should aspire to that of lover?
10665That lover?"
10665That was our first intention; but could I in conscience secretly work against you?
10665The Chevalier has lived; what woman will not appreciate these differences?
10665The Countess is her best friend, will she be so very long?
10665The Golden Calf and Aaron were there, but where was the angry Moses?
10665The application you made of my counsel has, then, been successful?
10665The flippant manner in which she receives your attentions reveals an indifference which grieves you?
10665The pleasure you draw from any of them, can it be keen enough to make you feel happy?
10665The world fluctuated between these two systems established by women, both of them-- shall it be said-- courtesans?
10665Their custom then, is to accuse women of caprice and oddity; all of you use the same language, and say: Why such equivocal conduct?
10665Then adding with a twinkle in her eye:"Ne suis- je pas la gardeuse de la cassette?"
10665These are assuredly very serious exceptions, Marquis, but are they well grounded?
10665They are drilled in the idea that they are immaculate spirits, and what happens then?
10665They desire for the very least, as much to confess their affection as you are anxious to ascertain it, but what do you expect, Marquis?
10665They knew, however, that they could not entirely stifle its voice, so what did they do to relieve themselves of their embarrassment?
10665This prologue astonishes you, eh?
10665Those who are the most intimate friends often quarrel over nothing, but do you suppose this"nothing"is the real occasion of their quarrel?
10665To go still further than that, is a man uniformly voluptuous all his life?
10665To raise the suspicion in her mind that you possessed such views, would it not inevitably expose you to her hate, her scorn, etc.?
10665Troubles, cares, are not these the money with which lovers pay for their pleasures?
10665VII Women Expect a Quid Pro Quo From Men Oh, who doubts, Marquis, that it may be only by essential qualities that you can succeed in pleasing women?
10665We recommend you to practice discretion and prudence, that is the rôle we enact, is it not?
10665Well, Marquis, after infinite care and trouble, you think you have at last softened that stony heart?
10665Well, Marquis, am I talking to you with sufficient frankness?
10665Well, do you imagine that these people are not so rich as we with all the treasures of the new world?
10665Well, do you not find it in a friend?--Shall I tell you what is in my mind?
10665Well, have I ever said anything to the contrary?
10665Well, will you believe in my predictions another time?
10665What a desolate solitude when age comes to ravish her of the only merit she possesses?
10665What a figure to set up against a courtier, against a warrior like you?
10665What a solitude would be hers, what shame even?
10665What advantages can he not have of women who reason?
10665What am I saying?
10665What am I saying?
10665What avails this general reasoning to show that he might have been sensible to all kinds of pleasure?
10665What can be done to make good such a misfortune?
10665What chimeras have changed your heart?
10665What could a lover do, if the woman he attacks were not seduced by her own desires?
10665What demon inspired you with the idea of taking the place of the absent?
10665What did I tell you?
10665What flattering progress may he not make?
10665What further right over her heart would a confession give you?
10665What happy state can a woman occupy to procure such safeguards?
10665What have I not attempted to do to calm your agitated spirit?
10665What is a beautiful skin to the soul; an elegant figure; a well shaped arm?
10665What is the destiny of women?
10665What is the excuse for so many precautions?
10665What is the judgment you have formed?
10665What is the most reasonable woman when love has turned her head?
10665What is their rôle on earth?
10665What is your opinion?
10665What languor reigns in her society, what violence must one not employ to say there is love when it has ceased to exist?
10665What matters the conventional mark provided there is commerce?
10665What more can you possibly want?
10665What more is there to tell you?
10665What must be your felicity?
10665What mystery do you force me to unfold?"
10665What obligations are you not under?
10665What resource is left us to hold you?
10665What sentiments do you think you have inspired me with?
10665What sort of a mistress is that who is retained by force of reason?
10665What sort of a woman is it you seem to prefer to her?
10665What was their embarrassment after such a slip?
10665What will be the upshot of all this quarreling among these women?
10665What would they gain by being deified?
10665What would vigorous youth be without love?
10665What, I the founder of systems?
10665What, I, Marquis, take charge of your education, be your guide in the enterprise upon which you are about to enter?
10665When a woman descends to a weakness, is not her humiliation proportionately as great as the esteem she hoped to secure?
10665When a woman has decided to remain intractable, why surprise the credulity of a lover?
10665Where exists the man so uniform of temperament, that he does not manifest contrarieties in his conversation and actions?
10665Who will recall it to you when I am gone?
10665Who would believe it?
10665Who would not be tempted to abandon it?
10665Why are you uneasy when she shows them the least courtesy?
10665Why divorce the two parties composed of the same elements, whose sole advantage is in a concert of union for their mutual pleasure?
10665Why do you desire with so much passion to be distinguished by her from other men?
10665Why misunderstand it and seek for the cause of its weakness in the Heavens?
10665Why not possess an exterior conformable to her sentiments?
10665Why should it cost my heart so much to get rid of an evil so fatal to my repose?
10665Why should, you say that the beloved object is bound to recompense a blind sentiment acquired without her connivance?
10665Why they are so little pleased after having had so much pleasure?
10665Why they are so little pleased after having had so much pleasure?
10665Why were you not the witness of the reproaches I have just heard?
10665Why, indeed, try to be amiable toward a man who is a source of anxiety to you by his nonchalance, who does not unbosom himself?
10665Why, then, venture to destroy an inclination that is part of our being?
10665Why: should I be afflicted?
10665Will she suffer another woman to keep hers at a less cost?
10665Will you believe me when I say it?
10665Will you believe my predictions another time?
10665Will you ever know your real interests?
10665Will you never believe what I have told you a hundred times?
10665Will you never understand, that of all there is good on earth, it is the sweetness of love that must be used with the greatest economy?
10665Will you not some day punish me for having had too much confidence in you?
10665With what can he employ his time if he does not find in her society something agreeable, some variety?
10665With what can they be charged?
10665With what object in view, could a philosopher who denied the immortality of the soul, mortify the senses?
10665Would it be decent, tell me that, if I were to take the place of my friend?
10665Would it be of any moment to assume with you the tone of a pedagogue?
10665Would it not be more dangerous, if, as pretends Madame de Sévigné, it were to be transformed into a virtue?
10665Would it not be wiser to rectify it?
10665Would it not have been to betray you?
10665Would you know the reason?
10665Would you know the reason?
10665Would you know whether you owe the avowal to love or complaisance?
10665Would you miss such a fine company?
10665Would you reduce it to rule?
10665Would your uncertainty reach an end?

10665You already despair of your affairs, because they oppose your success, and you are ready to abandon the game?
10665You are not satisfied, then, Marquis, with what I so cavalierly said about your condition?
10665You do not know how to undertake the manoeuvres I have advised you to make, you say?
10665You have, it is true, obtained an avowal of her love for you, but is she less estimable for that?
10665You see such a one every day, it is her mother; why not become enamored of her instead?
10665You think she has no other object in view than to put your love to the proof?
10665You will murmur at this, but the confidence she has given me, does it not demand this return on my part?
10665You wish to know whether I have fully considered the doctrines of Epicurus which are attributed to me?
10665he exclaimed,"you shed tears for me?
10665who can see all these disturbances in a beloved object without a secret pleasure?
2082''There is then no reality?
2082''Upon my word, doctor,''replied the king,''your words are far from consoling; there must be danger, then, in my present sickness?'' 2082 ''What do you think of this determination, Bordeu?''
2082''You hear that, La Martinière?'' 2082 A friend of the old maréchale''s?"
2082Afraid of what?
2082Ah, madam,exclaimed she,"is it you?
2082Ah, madame.,said I,"had you seriously any such fear?
2082Ah,replied the king,"is it madame de Bearn that you present to me?
2082Ah?
2082Alas,I replied,"how?
2082Am I required to depart immediately?
2082And can you really suppose the king believed he spoke to me for the last time?
2082And do you really credit such a fable?
2082And do you treat it as a mere calumny?
2082And do you, my good madam, conceive that it would become my sacred calling to speak ill of my neighbour? 2082 And how could we do so?"
2082And how did the marchioness get rid of her rival?
2082And is it not_ courtier_-like also?
2082And now, what think you of so base a hypocrite?
2082And now,asked I,"did these unfortunate people ever get out of prison?"
2082And should it prove that horrible complaint?
2082And suppose they should chance to be mistaken,returned my cautious friend,"what then?
2082And the female who was here last night, how is she?
2082And the prince de Soubise?
2082And what did I promise to God when I vowed to hold myself chaste and spotless? 2082 And what do you know more than myself?''"
2082And what does it contain?
2082And what favour would you advise me to ask?
2082And what has he been telling you?
2082And what is his present occupation?
2082And what, sire,asked the chancellor gravely,"could you do, that would better consolidate the glory of your reign?"
2082And wherefore has comte Guillaume returned to Paris?
2082And who could she better have selected than her father? 2082 And who, sire,"asked I,"shall dare injure one whom your majesty deigns to honor with your protection?"
2082And who,asked the king, with impatience,"may the lady be?"
2082And who,inquired I,"are the conspirators?"
2082And why do you not imprison these persons?
2082And why not previously?
2082And why not, sire? 2082 And why not?
2082And why not?
2082And why not?
2082And why so, dear madam?
2082And why so?
2082And why so?
2082And would you not likewise wish to have the advice of Bordeu?
2082And you fear lest it should carry you beyond your depth, and would fain return to_ terra firma_; is it not so, my lord duke?
2082Are you afraid of ghosts?
2082Are you aware of the most imperative step for you to take?
2082Are you not the wife of the comte Guillaume du Barry?
2082Are you quite sure of that?
2082Are you quite sure you have not been imitating the policy of the abbé Terray?
2082At you, sire? 2082 Brother- in- law,"said I, laughing,"it is not unnecessary that I should know decidedly to which of family I am married?
2082But what are they then?
2082But what does he want with me?
2082But what is his malady have you seen him, doctor Bordeu?
2082But what signifies,said I,"whether he be dead or alive?
2082But what will you do if it become necessary to teach him his_ credo_?
2082But where can we see her?
2082But who was he really?
2082But, perhaps, there is some contagion in my present complaint?
2082But,exclaimed I,"must we not be guided by the physicians''advice?"
2082Can you make out the real motive of this silly conduct? 2082 Chancellor,"exclaimed Louis XV, stepping back with unfeigned astonishment,"have you lost your senses?
2082Did I reject it? 2082 Do n''t you like them, sister of mine?"
2082Do they then wish for my absence?
2082Do you consider,inquired I,"that we may rely upon the firmness of the duc de Duras?"
2082Do you doubt it?
2082Do you fear?
2082Do you indeed think so?
2082Do you insist upon it, sire?
2082Do you not see that this woman wants a price to be bidden for her? 2082 Do you not see,"she said, one day,"what a crisis is at hand?"
2082Do you really think so, my lovely comtesse?
2082Do you think,I replied with emotion,"that matters are unfavorable towards him?"
2082Do you, indeed, believe,asked the duc de Richelieu,"that the mention of these things would produce so fatal a result?"
2082Does it not alarm you?
2082Does one ever know precisely why things are done? 2082 For how otherwise could you,"said she,"confuse a poor obscure widow like myself with the rich and powerful princess you speak of?
2082For my own part, madam,returned he,"I do not remember that any ever existed; besides, is not my cause yours likewise?
2082Good,said he,"it is about a lady, is it?
2082Have you finished?
2082Have you forgotten our mutual engagement to support each other, and not to quit the ministry until the other retired also? 2082 Have you not some reservations?
2082Have you seen her so, madame? 2082 He came then to visit you?"
2082Henriette,said I,"has any thing been brought for me during my absence?"
2082His son then lives with him?
2082How can I choose them at all when I see so very few?
2082How is it possible to preserve my dignity in the presence of so many graces?
2082How is she to be introduced to the king?
2082How is the king?
2082How then can I accomplish my desire of seeing this celebrated man?
2082How, monseigneur?
2082How, monsieur le maréchal, shall I mark my career by a murder?
2082How, sire?
2082How?
2082I ask you once again, whether you ever heard the duc de Villeroi assign his passion for one of my women as the reason for his visits to me? 2082 I beg your pardon, sire,"cried I,"but what is his name?
2082I did not say so; but is it necessary that he must be responsible for the follies of his relations?
2082I grant it this moment,said the prince,"what have you to say to me?"
2082I see it,replied I;"and since our danger is a mutual one ought we not to forget our old subjects of dispute?"
2082I, madam?
2082If it be true that you entertain any regard for me, why have you evinced so little towards me? 2082 Is he alone in his business?"
2082Is he then afraid openly to evince himself my friend?
2082Is it God who speaks thus?
2082Is it anything I may hear for her?
2082Is it possible that you do not know madame Brillant, at least by name?
2082Is it possible?
2082Is it possible?
2082Is it then entirely untrue?
2082Is it your majesty''s pleasure,inquired the chancellor,"that I should signify your displeasure to them?"
2082Is it, indeed, true, sire,inquired he,"that your majesty doubts of your perfect restoration to health?
2082Is that quite true?
2082Is the king dead?
2082It is nature, you mean,replied the maréchale:"the nightingale is born to sing, and you, comte Jean, were born to swear; is it not true?"
2082It was then a singularly engaging animal, I presume?
2082M. Morand,was my reply,"what are you thinking of?
2082M. de Palchelbel,cried I, extending my hand,"what good wind brings you here?"
2082Madam,said he,"do you know the author of this little composition?"
2082Madame la maréchale,said I, accosting her,"what lucky chance brings you to a place where the desire to have your society is so great?"
2082Madame,said M. de Sartines to her one day,"I have discovered a rogue who is scattering songs about you; what is to be done with him?"
2082May I believe you?
2082Mercy upon me,cried I,"what ails you?"
2082Must I then tamely submit to be beaten?
2082My daughter,said the priest, approaching her,"is this what you promised me?"
2082My dear soul,said she to me one day,"have you ever inquired what became of the 100,000 livres given to madame Lorimer?
2082My dearest sister Anne, what can I do for you?
2082My friend,she responded,"I weep because I love you, shall I say it?
2082No,said I,"what is it?"
2082Now you speak to the purpose; and as I was prepared to hear you-- are you inclined for a serious discussion of our business?
2082Perhaps I took more wine than agreed with me last evening; but where is the maréchale?
2082Perhaps poor madame de Boufflers?
2082Pray, sir,said I, endeavouring to repress my emotion,"does a person named Rousseau, a copier of music, live here?"
2082Really, monsieur, I was not prepared for a reproach of this kind; and what can madame d''Egmont allege against me? 2082 Shall I, sir,"asked I,"leave you any cash in hand for the purchase of what paper you will require?"
2082Shameful, indeed,cried I;"but can you, my dear friend, account for the ill- nature with which these ladies speak of poor Rousseau?"
2082So then,replied the maréchale,"she proved a fairy, or some beneficent_ génie_, after all?"
2082The king is then past all hope,repeated he,"and what remains to be done?"
2082Then why do we linger here? 2082 Then why does he tolerate such insults?
2082Then why not follow so excellent an example, sire?
2082Then you do not love me?
2082Then, madam, I may flatter myself that I should have been kindly received?
2082Then, madam,said he,"you would fain strip me to enrich others?"
2082Then, sir,returned I,"I may reasonably conclude that it is with your sanction and concurrence your wife intrigues with the king?"
2082There would, in that case, be considerable danger,replied Bordeu, not without extreme embarrassment.."Perhaps even to the extinction of all hope?"
2082To whom will you give it, sire?
2082Very gallant,replied I;"but tell me, comte Jean, does this elegant compliment proceed from my husband or yourself?"
2082Very well; but what would you have me do?
2082Was I sent for hither,inquired the angry physician,"to go through a course of politeness?"
2082Well, and the duchesse de Grammont,inquired I,"would she visit me?"
2082Well, and why, is not the comtesse du Barry? 2082 Well, but,"said I,"since you really do know all about this man with the iron mask, you will tell it to me, will you not?"
2082Well, my dear countess,said she, taking my hand with a friendly pressure,"and how goes on the dear invalid?"
2082Well, my dear,she began,"have you seen M. de Sartines, and did you speak to him respecting those 100,000 livres?"
2082Well, my good cousin,inquired he, as they approached,"which of us was right?
2082Well, sir,added I,"and you are equally well aware, no doubt, of the relation in which I stand to the king?"
2082Well, well, you madcap, what must I do? 2082 Well, who next?"
2082Well,inquired I,"are you very glad to see your brother in Paris?"
2082Well?
2082Were you not fearful?
2082What ails you?
2082What ails you?
2082What are you saying, Comte Jean?
2082What are you talking about,said he,"you seem agitated?"
2082What circumstances?
2082What crisis?
2082What do you mean by representatives?
2082What does the good comtesse ask for?
2082What does your majesty say?
2082What good wind blows you hither?
2082What interest can he have to serve?
2082What is it?
2082What is the matter with you to- day? 2082 What is the matter, Chamilly?"
2082What is the matter?
2082What is the meaning of this scrawl?
2082What makes him so? 2082 What matters it?
2082What were you saying of him?
2082What will become of me?
2082What will such a petty sum avail her? 2082 What would it avail to name them to you?
2082What would you have me do?
2082What would you have me do?
2082What would you insinuate?
2082What, is he at his tricks again? 2082 What, only that?
2082What, the devotee?
2082What,said Lebel, in a tone of alarm almost comic,"what, are you really not married?"
2082What?
2082Where did you see him?
2082Which, madame? 2082 Which, the father?"
2082Who are the insolents that hold such language?
2082Who are they?
2082Who else?
2082Who gave you this counsel, my dear niece? 2082 Who goes there?"
2082Who is he?
2082Who is it?
2082Who is she?
2082Who then is the object of so much regret? 2082 Who would have thought,"said he to me,"that a disgraced minister could have been so idolized by a whole court?
2082Who, sire, is the king so unfortunate as to banished by you from your majesty''s presence?
2082Who? 2082 Whose fault is that if it be so?
2082Why do you not like the governor of my grandsons?
2082Why do you weep, Countess?
2082Why not send M. de Jarente?
2082Why not, madame? 2082 Why should it?"
2082Why turn away?
2082Why, let me ask, do you listen to those who repeat such mortifying tales to you?
2082Why, then,said Louis XV laughing,"do you not follow the advice of the comtesse?"
2082Why, what else could I do?
2082Why,he inquired,"have you not assured him as to your indiscretion, which he fears?"
2082Why,said I,"should you suppose it possible he will do so?"
2082Why,said he,"have you concealed from me the fact of my having the small- pox?"
2082Why? 2082 Will he then see me again?"
2082Will she have the boldness?
2082Will you not retire to Germany?
2082Will you see her, madam?
2082Would it not be best, sire, to tell her so yourself?
2082Would the king have thought my visit strange?
2082Would you wish to see the comte Jean before you rise? 2082 Yes, but my daughters?"
2082Yes, certainly,replied I,"who was he?"
2082You are then convinced, M. de Maupeou,cried he,"that the duke is leagued with the parliaments to weaken my authority?"
2082You confess the fact then, monsieur le duc?
2082You have then sufficient honor to avow your enmity towards me?
2082You think, then,returned Louis XV,"that I am bound to make this unhappy girl some present?
2082You torment yourself needlessly, sire,said I;"why should you thus create phantoms for your own annoyance and alarm?
2082Your age?
2082Your letter has really frightened me,said he;"what can be the matter?
2082Your servant, cousin,said he, seating himself without the smallest ceremony;"at what page of our history have we arrived?"
2082_ Miséricorde!_cried the duke,"would you lose yourself in the eyes of all France?
2082''Do you doubt my regard for you?''
2082* Are these two offices compatible?"
2082*"Why did Du Barry come to Paris?''"
2082A woman of my rank throw herself at any person''s head?"
2082According to custom, Louis inquired whether he had anything very amusing to communicate to him?
2082After the first compliments,"Well, madame la comtesse, when is your presentation to take place?"
2082Alas, madam, what is a king when he can no longer grasp the sceptre?
2082Allow me, in turn, to ask you, why those of your house should not go there?
2082Am I not of the right materials for making ministers?
2082Am I not your slave?
2082Am I right in promising this will be ere very long?
2082And now, too, that the first ladies of the court fill your drawing- rooms, why should you endure her importunate presence?"
2082And what have I done in my turn?
2082And what will you do with the remaining 50,000 livres, my dear friend; where will you place them?"
2082And when you say to me_ go_, will I not_ go_?
2082And why should this be?
2082And why, do you suppose?
2082Any?
2082Are we alone, and secure from interruption?"
2082Are we alone?"
2082Are you not in the habit, madam, of taking every evening_ eau sucrée_ mixed with a large proportion of orange- flower water?"
2082But do you imagine that my present illness will be of a serious nature?"
2082But how could I have done otherwise?
2082But how to procure this portrait?
2082But if we imprison or exile no person, how shall we strike terror into them?"
2082But if you fear the influence of this lady with the king, why do you not present yourself at her apartments?
2082But is it not an inconceivable contrariety, that one party should wish it with the utmost desire, and another place every obstacle in the way?
2082But is the king indeed so very ill?"
2082But now I think of it, what is the matter since I was here?
2082But tell me when is this meeting to take place?"
2082But what avails speculation upon the words and actions of a courtier, whose heart is an abyss too deep for gleam of light to penetrate?
2082But what has he settled on you?
2082But what sort of a cat could this have been to cause so many tears?"
2082But who knows?"
2082But why should I complain?
2082But, tell me, my generous friend, do you think M. de Laborde will make any difficulty?"
2082But, you will say to me, was it certain that your asserted husband would marry you?
2082Can I contend against it alone, and who will sustain me thro''it?"
2082Can I not, without displeasing you, defend myself when I am attacked?"
2082Can it be possible that you are to quit Versailles?
2082Could I do otherwise?
2082Could such disgusting falsehoods have entered the minds of any but the most depraved?
2082Could the coaches of a King mean more than the ordinary carriage of an abandoned girl?
2082Could the defender of Du Barry, who had also defended Marie Antoinette, find an eloquent word?
2082Could you have said, under the veil of secrecy, things disagreeable to a great king, for whom, in common with all France, you profess sincere love?
2082Could you hear it or not?"
2082Could you, with gaiety of heart, wound a female who never did you harm, and who admires your splendid genius?
2082Did she vanish into air?"
2082Did you ever hear of a more infamous and accomplished rogue than my honourable_ protégé_?
2082Do you believe that the services of the duc de Choiseul are useful to my kingdom, and that my interests would suffer were I to dismiss him?"
2082Do you know that a reconciliation with the duc de Choiseul would have involved your inevitable disgrace?
2082Do you know that he is acquainted with the disposal of his finances to the last farthing?"
2082Do you not know this, M. le duc?
2082Do you not perceive the advantage it would give to your adversaries were we to act in this manner?
2082Do you then believe, M. de Maupeou, that the race of the Clements, the Ravaillacs, the Damiens, are extinct in France?"
2082Does not a noble female in the_ Parc- aux- Cerfs_ come in for a share as well as the baroness de New----k?"
2082Does this bear any comparison with her line of conduct towards me?"
2082Et Paris, le berger fameux, Lui donner l''avantage Même sur la reine des cieux Et Minerve la sage?
2082Have you any cause of complaint against him?"
2082Have you, my lord bishop?
2082He had much credit with the king, and this( would you believe it?)
2082He has then burst from the hands of the Choiseuls?
2082His majesty kept continually repeating to his afflicted children,''My daughters, why should what I am now about to do agitate or alarm you?
2082How answer you that, M. de Rumas?"
2082How many can you enumerate, madame, who have led a life much more scandalous?
2082How say you, madam; can you procure it for me?"
2082How was the mystery to be cleared up?
2082I ask you, my friend, is not the idea truly ludicrous?
2082I continued--"Then you are not quite sure of the fact?"
2082I have just proved this to you, by giving your brother more than he could expect from me; but have not I the right to have my intimacies respected?
2082I wish to be presented; will you be my introductress?"
2082If the duc de Richelieu were here--""But,"I instantly exclaimed,"have we not his nephew, the duc d''Aiguillon?
2082If you recede from saying a word, what will you do when I tell you of the conditions of madame de Bearn?"
2082Is he any relation to you?"
2082Is it for the poet of the lover of Gabrielle to carry desolation into the kingdom of the Graces?
2082Is it then impossible for you to comply his wishes in this particular?
2082Is it then true that the duc de Villeroi has spoken of love to you?"
2082Is it your intention to oblige me; yes or no?"
2082Is mademoiselle Julie to set off into the country immediately?"
2082Is not the King dead?"
2082Is the king worse, and what is this I hear whispered abroad of the small- pox?"
2082Is this all?"
2082Let me see: where did I leave off?
2082Look at this portfolio, my dear friend: do you see the locks with which it is decorated?
2082Lucienne is yours, Madame, for was it not your beneficence which gave it to me?
2082M. de Chauvelin then turning towards me, said,"Well, madame, on what evil herb have you walked to- day?
2082Madame de Mirepoix saw it, and, looking at me attentively, said,"Do you feel any desire to become pathetical in the country we live in?
2082May I ask you, sister, what causes this sorrow?
2082May I presume to inquire whether any circumstance has occurred to diminish your confidence in your medical attendants?"
2082May a humble creature like me flatter himself with the hope of finding in you the same generous support?
2082Might she not have compromised us?"
2082Of what can you complain?
2082Quelle est la favorite?
2082Remember, I predicted your good fortune; was I not correct in it?
2082Rousseau?"
2082Shall I tell you?
2082She, after a profound reverence, said,"Sire, how can I be well when there is trouble in my family?"
2082Surely the life of his majesty is not in danger?"
2082The comte watched Lebel anxiously, and Morand began to rub his hands, saying:"Well, sir, what think you of our celestial beauty?"
2082The duc de Choiseul came up to him, and said, with a smile,"Monseigneur, what brings you in contact with a heretic?"
2082The following morning, at an early hour, comte Jean entered my chamber, saying,"I understand the king is dead; have you heard anything of it?"
2082The king then changed the conversation to Thérèse, inquiring whether she possessed any attractions?
2082The king then said to him,"Do you know this lady?"
2082Then, turning towards me,"When, then, is this redoubtable presentation to take place?"
2082This infamous calumny--""Ah, is that all?"
2082This piece of news has not occasioned me much surprise, I always believed in the potency of beauty to carry all before it; but, shall I confess it?
2082This was a dagger to the heart of M. de Sartines, who in vain sought to frame a suitable reply: but what could he say?
2082Vexed at the disturbance, I inquired, in a peevish tone,"Who is there?"
2082Was I wrong in declining to have mademoiselle Guimard as ambassadress?
2082Was it necessary to have a coat of arms?
2082Was it possible that when I had the honor of supping with you the other night, you did not recollect your former old friend?"
2082Were there no difficulties to fear?
2082Were you assured of her silence?
2082What ails you?"
2082What did M. de la Garde?
2082What did she say?
2082What do you suppose she did?
2082What do you think of that?"
2082What do you think of this, madame?"
2082What evil genius counselled you to act in such a manner?"
2082What have they to do with aping the tone of those about them; and what point of their duty teaches them to detest those whom I love?
2082What have you asked him for?"
2082What inquiries have you made?
2082What interest could I possibly derive from the perpetration of such a crime?
2082What is it you would insinuate?"
2082What is the use, I ask you, gentlemen, of this deluge of books and pamphlets with which France is inundated?
2082What is your pleasure?"
2082What measures have you taken?
2082What more could you covet?
2082What says madame?"
2082What should one eat in order to be loved by royalty?
2082What will you do to assist them?"
2082What would become of you in case of the worst?
2082What would now be my fate?
2082What would the clergy say or do?
2082When I had done, the duke replied:"Expect nothing from the prince de Soubise: he will speak, no doubt; but how?
2082When I perceived him, I could not help inquiring, with something of a sarcastic expression, whether his majesty had been pronounced convalescent?
2082When Louis XV saw me return, he inquired why I had quitted him?
2082When he had finished, I said,"Well, madame la maréchale, and what is your opinion of all this?"
2082When introduced into the cabinet of the king, his majesty inquired at once,"Monsieur l''abbé, can I depend upon your discretion?"
2082When my brother- in- law and myself were alone, he said to me,"I played my part famously, did I not?
2082When we were alone,"What, already?
2082When we were there secure from interruption, the duke inquired what were my plans for the future?
2082When will you gratify us both by visiting Paris?
2082Where could he be?
2082Which of us two is the more to blame, I wonder?"
2082While these gentlemen were thus disposing of me, what was I doing?
2082Who am I?
2082Who can answer for their honour?
2082Who can assure you, that some one among them may not do that for the duke which he would never venture to attempt himself?
2082Who could I put in his place?
2082Who could say?
2082Who has put it into your head that she was opposed to you?
2082Who of all those who have spoken of him have told the truth?"
2082Who rules o''er her lord in the Turkish_ serail_, Reigns queen of his heart, and e''er basks in his smile?
2082Whom must I banish?"
2082Why did you apply to a third person in preference to seeking my aid?
2082Why did you not carry about with you some deed of settlement ready for signature?
2082Why do they leave their kingdoms?
2082Why do you come to us if you aid our enemies?"
2082Why do you not mention the fact to M. de Sartines?"
2082Why should they oppose the presentation of the comtesse?
2082Why should you wish the king to interfere in what does not concern him?
2082Why, madame, who has any in these days?
2082Why, then, have you never procured my appointment to any of the vacant situations?"
2082Will she refuse to protect with her aegis the most humble of her adorers?
2082Will you accompany me?"
2082Will you have it at all risks and perils?
2082Will you henceforward believe those self- dubbed philosophers, who assert that friendship is unknown to royalty?
2082Will you not accord my prayer?
2082Will you receive him?"
2082Will you see him?"
2082Would it not be best to get some nobleman, who can do so with influence, to speak to him on the subject?
2082Would the King care to be the lover of one who had ruled all his courtesans?
2082Would you believe that I receive a hundred petitions a day for leave to visit at Chanteloup?
2082Would you refuse to grant him that pleasure?"
2082You ask me why?
2082You say that it is not your fault: what proof do you give us of this?
2082You understand, my lord?"
2082You will see--""What shall I see?"
2082_ My cousin_, say you, and by what right or title could M. de Maupeou become such?
2082_ Now are you satisfied, Couci?_"said the king, turning to me.
2082and do you talk of curing it?"
2082and then leading me into another chamber, she added,"Do you know I quite missed you?
2082and what did you say to him?"
2082asked she, with the familiarity our close intimacy warranted;"does that note bring you any bad news?"
2082besides, surely you would not attach any belief to the idle reports spread about the castle by ill- disposed persons?"
2082cried I,"and what do you want?
2082cried I,"what do I hear?"
2082cried he,"is it so?
2082die I did I say die?
2082exclaimed I, clasping my hands;"what, as a recompense for seventeen years''imprisonment?
2082exclaimed I,"can the duchesse de Lauzun be dead?"
2082exclaimed I,''send your dearest friend from you at a time when you most require her cares?''
2082exclaimed he,"is science at a standstill with you?
2082exclaimed the king, in a voice of horror;"have I indeed that fatal disease?
2082exclaimed the king;"surely you mean the embalming?"
2082for when the god Mars is no longer to be found, what can be more natural than to seek the aid of Pallas, the goddess of the line arts?
2082has he been to make friends with you?"
2082has she gone?
2082inquired he,"is the king very ill?"
2082is she happy and amused?
2082madam, do I then appear in your presence?"
2082of what does he complain?"
2082said Gaubert to them,"did you think I would brook dishonor?
2082said I"You do not understand me, then?"
2082said I, with affected surprise,"not sup with us?"
2082said Louis;"how can I interfere without compromising the reputation of madame d''Egmont?"
2082said she,"are you alone?
2082sire, do you think so?"
2082so late?"
2082what agonies are these?"
2082what is this?"
2082why have I not known this sooner?
2082would you not advise me, my friend, to request her immediate return?''
2082you too, duc de Richelieu, do you join the cry of the chancellor?"
2082you will then do something for me?"
7044''Hail, Columbia''?
7044A lion is a beast, is n''t it?
7044Ah, je comprends,with a lovely smile,"and now?"
7044Am I going to be a lion? 7044 American?"
7044And many other people here?
7044And the operetta?
7044And the other one?
7044Apropos of to- day''s weather, you say,''It never rains but it pours''--au fond qu''est- ce que cela veut dire? 7044 Are these pianos not something quite new?"
7044Are you La Citoyenne Moulton?
7044Are you full?
7044Are you sure it was the 17th you dined there?
7044Baroness who?
7044Beaucoup, belle dame, mais dis- moi ce que tu es( Very much, beautiful lady, but what are you supposed to be?).
7044Because, did you not know that he has the_ mal''occhio_[ the evil eye]? 7044 But how can one be so cruel?"
7044But tell me, how can the Duke dare return there now?
7044Can it be that I am the same person? 7044 Can we not see them?"
7044Cela te plaît, beau masque( Do I please thee, handsome mask)?
7044Certainly not, if you do n''t want to,his Majesty answered;"but have you ever seen a_ chasse à tir_?"
7044Could you understand the words?
7044Did I write that?
7044Did she write in English, and did you write in French?
7044Did you go to see her?
7044Did you know that they had had a_ conseil de famille_ that day?
7044Did you not follow her?
7044Did you see how we were affected when you sang''Suwanee River''? 7044 Do n''t you mean country?
7044Do they always get well?
7044Do they invent intellectual pastimes in America?
7044Do they play croquet at Twickenham Court?
7044Do you also believe in such rank nonsense?
7044Do you know Auber?
7044Do you mean to say that you have killed any one otherwise than in a duel?
7044Do you think, sir, that the Emperor will refuse?
7044Does he only speak Brazilian?
7044Does it not need more than a rumor?
7044Does the American Minister know you personally?
7044Envy me? 7044 Est- ce que tous les Schahs de Perse sont gris à minuit?"
7044Has it got silk?
7044His tobacco must be very good?
7044How can any one conquer a language as stupid as that?
7044How can one be angry with a dear little bird? 7044 How can you ask?"
7044How could I play on it?
7044How did he have it this time?
7044How long do you intend staying in Europe?
7044In the original key?
7044Is Paris such a horrid place?
7044Is it not romantic?
7044Is it perhaps Caporal?
7044Is its garden large enough for that?
7044Is n''t this rather cruel toward the ladies?
7044Is she dead?
7044Is the company congenial?
7044Is the company seated right?
7044Is there much water in your country- place?
7044Is there,I inquired,"as much firing as yesterday?"
7044Jules Alphonso your cousin? 7044 Marquis, where are you?"
7044N''y a- t- il pas un clou?
7044Ne pouvez- vous pas l''arrêter? 7044 No eggs?"
7044No turkeys?
7044No watermelons?
7044None at all? 7044 Now, Joshua, when Dr. Hoppin says to you,''Who made you?''
7044Oserais- tu traverser la flamme de mon coeur( Wouldst thou dare to go through the flame of my heart)?
7044Oses- tu traverser le feu de mes yeux( Dost thou dare to brave the fire of my eyes)?
7044Really; what shall I do?
7044Shall we now have a Germanic pulse?
7044Was it a large dinner?
7044Was she in love with you or only with your letters?
7044Well, how did you get on?
7044Were you in love with her, that you wrote to her all those years?
7044What are trumps?
7044What day did you dine there?
7044What do you mean?
7044What do you mean?
7044What does your Highness call a few?
7044What else can we do? 7044 What is a shindy?"
7044What number?
7044What part am I to take?
7044What, my turn again?
7044What,cried Mr. Felton,"what are you reading?
7044What_ had_ happened to her?
7044Where are they?
7044Where did you come from? 7044 Where do you live?"
7044Where do you play now?
7044Where does this Madame Moulton live?
7044Where in Cuba?
7044Which government?
7044Who are you?
7044Who is your teacher?
7044Why did Gounod insert that idiotic ballet? 7044 Why did he make Faust go to the Champs Élysées if he did not want him to see any dancing?"
7044Why do you wish to deprive us of your presence in Paris?
7044Why not?
7044Why not?
7044Why, do n''t you know what a shindy is? 7044 Why, indeed?"
7044Why,she asked,"do you think it is cruel?"
7044Why?
7044Will you accompany Gounod''s''Medje''for me?
7044Would you care to go? 7044 Would you like to accompany me this afternoon,"he asked,"and see for yourself what a_ chasse à tir_ is?"
7044Would you not like to see the Exposition in Paris next year? 7044 You are Monsieur Massenet?"
7044You do n''t think I would be so unkind as that?
7044You say you would like to take some lessons of me?
7044You will have great responsibilities and a great deal to occupy your mind?
7044You will not have time to devote yourself to art?
7044You will then come to the Tuileries?
7044_ Par exemple!_ Which ball? 7044 ''Madame, pourquoi aimez- vous la salade?'' 7044 A quelle qualité donnez- vous la préférence? 7044 A quelle qualité donnez- vous la préférence? 7044 After a moment''s hesitation he asked,How would you like it if I put a piece of ground in the Bois at your disposal?"
7044After supper the Empress came up to me and said,"Where can one buy such lovely curls as you have,_ chère Madame_?"
7044After the coal- bin, wine- vault, and sugar- bowl, and linen- closet had been locked up, what more did she need to lock up?
7044And did he not leave England in a balloon?
7044And should I have to talk poetry to him?
7044And then one says,"Pourquoi aimes- tu la chicorée( Why dost thou like chicory)?"
7044And who else do you think?
7044And who knows if letters leave Paris regularly in the chaotic state of disorder and danger we are now in?
7044And, after all, why not be as amiable as my companions, who had done their best to amuse me?
7044At last, after many wild propositions, he said,"Why not charades?"
7044At the mere sight of him Mademoiselle W---- said,"Do n''t you think,_ chère Madame_, that it is better to return home?"
7044Auber asked him how he had liked the representation of"Tannhäuser"?
7044Auber asked me,"Do you know what Rossini said about me?"
7044Auber came up flushed with delight at my success, and said to Rossini,"Did I say too much about Madame Moulton''s voice?"
7044Auber turned to me, and said,"May I not also have the privilege of hearing you?"
7044Baron Haussmann asked me if the piece I was playing( he meant on the flute) was in_ la- bémol_?
7044Been singing?"
7044Besides, had I not a dear cousin who had written a most attractive book about Weimar, combined with Liszt and his enchantments?
7044Brent?"
7044Brioches à la vanille, fruits, dessert, café...."Well,"said the Empress, as she stopped in front of me after_ déjeuner_,"are you alive?"
7044But I must begin at the beginning, the whole thing was so amusing, You remember Mrs. Bradley?
7044But Mr. Moulton answered,"What does it matter now?"
7044But do you think that, if war were really imminent, the Emperor would think of giving a dinner?"
7044But he forgot to ask her permission to use the thee and thou, and said, point- blank,''Pourquoi aimes- tu la salade?''
7044But how can any one imitate a nightingale?
7044But how could it be done?
7044But how was I to accomplish it?
7044But tell me, what do you sing of mine?"
7044But the second question,"Who made you?"
7044But what did I see?
7044But what was happening there?
7044But what?
7044But why did she get herself up so?
7044Ca n''t you take us in?
7044Can I be of any service to you?"
7044Can she?"
7044Can you imagine why they want to go back to France when they can live quietly here and be out of politics?"
7044Could I uphold the throne in which her Majesty was strapped?
7044Could anything be more alarming?
7044Could anything be more despairing?
7044Could history ever repeat this unfortunate queen''s horrible fate?
7044Could it have been only last May?
7044Could you not have given me the note?"
7044Did Bismarck think we were likely to be unruly and go about shooting people?
7044Did I write to you of our breakfast at Armenonville?
7044Did you ever hear of anything so idiotic?
7044Do n''t you think that this is a dreadful custom?
7044Do n''t you think this is cruel?
7044Do the Schahs de Perse do that?"
7044Do the gentlemen wish to go shooting?
7044Do you care to ride?
7044Do you know who we are?"
7044Do you not think that she is insatiable?
7044Do you not think there is enough to last me as long as I live?
7044Do you not wish to go and make your arrangements?
7044Do you think that he would be willing to do it?"
7044Do you want to know what we had for dinner?
7044Do you wish to drive?
7044Do you wish to walk?
7044Does she not skate beautifully?"
7044Est- ce qu''il n''y a pas de vis?"
7044Est- ce qu''il vit encore?"
7044Even to the last, when Nina had said for the last time,"And shall I have my album to- day?"
7044Fortunately we would go away next day, so what did it matter?
7044Félix Pyat said,"How do we know that this is your carriage?"
7044Had she forgotten me and left me there to my fate?
7044Has she a card also?"
7044Have you been perfectly honest since the last time?
7044He asked me in English from which country I came, and when I answered,"America, your Holiness,"he said,"What part of America?"
7044He asked me,"Did you ever hear anything like that?"
7044He bent his head, and she kissed him on his forehead; and he( were the heavens going to fall?)
7044He had a dilapidated old horse, who had to be beaten all the way there, and when there, what do you think the coachman did?
7044He looked puzzled and said,"But the Empress desires it; you can not well refuse, can you?"
7044He once said:"Je suis trop vieux; on ne devrait pas vieillir, mais que faire?
7044He said to Mr. Palmer,"Why are you not like a melon?"
7044He says,"Did you not see he put his king on your spade ace- spot?"
7044He was certainly the husband of the Duchess de Fernan Nuñez, who was Spanish; why had he not the same name?
7044Her husband said to me,"Do n''t you think that Pauline looks well in her nightgown?"
7044His first words( in pure Angle- Saxon),"Qu''est- ce que vous voolly?"
7044How can any one find pleasure in such cruel sport?
7044How can he be so clever?
7044How can people be so quick- witted?
7044How can we know,"she said,"unless you tell us?"
7044How could I make him understand that I had come for a passport and not for conversation?
7044How could I sing when I was convulsed with laughter?
7044How could he and his family ever hold up their heads again?
7044How could he or she resist such humble pleadings?
7044How could we resist such a charmer?
7044How did she dare to send the note to you?"
7044How did you get here?
7044How do you feel toward_ la Commune_?"
7044How in the world can he know that?
7044How will it all end?
7044However, I made my way as far as the stairs, every one wondering at my audacity, and I murmured gently:"May I pass?"
7044I add the answers of Prosper Mérimée: À quelle qualité donnez- vous la préférence?
7044I am making a mistake, but what of that?
7044I answered that I should be delighted, and said,"Shall I come with a gun?"
7044I answered,"Shall I sing''Three Little Kittens''?
7044I asked him,"How is the baby?"
7044I asked,"Do you think that I might sing something?"
7044I asked,"When Julius Caesar comes from his nocturnal walks is he_ gris_( tipsy)?"
7044I enjoy the applause and the excitement-- who would not?
7044I had many ready for him; but I refrained and only said,"No, what was it?"
7044I had to confess that it did sound senseless, and tried to explain the meaning; but he grumbled,"Why do n''t they say what they mean?"
7044I have only seen the latter''s photographs; but had he not rather a skimpy hair brushed any which way and a stringy beard?
7044I ought to have made a courtesy, but how could I-- on skates?
7044I rushed in, saying:"What is that?"
7044I said to Zerrahn, after:"Could you not have helped me?
7044I thought to laugh, instead of which I cried; how could you make it so pathetic?"
7044I told the Emperor of the poetry which Gautier had sent to me, and, having it in my hand, showed it to him, saying,"Ought I to forgive him?"
7044I tried to think of"something in a lighter vein,"and inquired,"How would''Swanee River''be?"
7044I ventured to ask,"Is it because one is attached to a post?"
7044I waited, and then said,"Und?"
7044I was very indignant, and told him so, and said,"Est- ce que tous les poètes sont fous à cette heure de la soirée?"
7044If I had wanted to make all those little things, do n''t you think that I could have made them myself?''"
7044If she wanted to picnic_ al fresco_, why did she not choose some pretty place in the park or in the woods?
7044Is he a great singer?"
7044Is he not a very generous man?
7044Is he not clever?
7044Is it not in Hayti( or in which country is it?)
7044Is it not so?"
7044Is that not yours?"
7044It sounded like a gigantic exercise of Ollendorff:"Avez- vous le cheval du boulanger?"
7044Just for fun, at the end I sang,"Three Little Kittens Took Off Their Mittens, to Eat a Christmas Pie,"and one lady( would you believe it?)
7044LONDON,_ June, 1870._ DEAR M.,--What will you think of your dissipated daughter?
7044May I dare to ask him to come up and play something?"
7044Monsieur Dué then remarked,"Did I not hear you say that he was half way across the channel?"
7044Mr. Moulton:"Why did you play trumps?"
7044Mrs. Moulton remarked,"What would those shut up in Paris have done without you?"
7044My courage was oozing out of me, and when the lord of the manor said to me,"Rosette, que fais- tu ici?"
7044Nina would listen with open mouth and glistening eyes, and at every sitting she would say,"Et mon album?"
7044No thefts?"
7044No?
7044O----?"
7044O----?"
7044Of whom could I ask hospitality?
7044On dirait, n''est ce pas?
7044On the contrary, he tucked his umbrella more firmly under his arm, and turned to Mademoiselle W----:"Have you got a register?"
7044One begins by saying,"Vous me permettez de vous tutoyer( You will permit me to use the thee and thou)?"
7044One said,"Do n''t you see that lady with the rose has not got any salad?"
7044Pour quelles fautes avez- vous le plus d''indulgence?
7044Pour quelles fautes avez- vous le plus d''indulgence?
7044Pour quelles fautes avez- vous le plus d''indulgence?
7044Pourquoi ne s''est- il pas contenté d''une saison?"
7044Prince Metternich asked,"What shall we do indoors this awful day?"
7044Prince Metternich( his bosom friend) exclaimed:"Who would ever have thought it?
7044Prince Wittgenstein addressed the spot and whispered in his most seductive tones,"Dear spirit, will you not manifest yourself?"
7044Que faire?
7044Que veut- il que j''en fasse?"
7044Que voulez- vous dire?"
7044Quelles personnes de l''histoire détestez- vous le plus?
7044Quelles personnes de l''histoire détestez- vous le plus?
7044Quelles personnes de l''histoire détestez- vous le plus?
7044Quelles sont vos occupations favorites?
7044Quelles sont vos occupations favorites?
7044Quelles sont vos occupations favorites?
7044Quels sont vos auteurs favoris?
7044Quels sont vos auteurs favoris?
7044Quels sont vos auteurs favoris?
7044Qui voudriez- vous être?
7044Qui voudriez- vous être?
7044Qui voudriez- vous être?
7044Seeing them, she exclaimed,"Tell me, what shall I do?"
7044She asked me to keep her in countenance, and wished me to sing something with the orchestra; but what should I sing?
7044She called out in an indignant voice,"Did you ever hear the like?"
7044She laughed and said,"Do you wish me to unveil my soul,_ comme cela, à l''improviste_?"
7044Stolen no chickens?"
7044Suddenly Jenny Lind jumped up, saying,"Shall I sing something?"
7044Taking a red counter out of his pocket and handing it to me he said,"Will you take supper with me?"
7044That same evening there was a ball at the Tuileries, and when the Empress came to speak to me she said:"How are you?
7044The Baron looked very grave, and turning to the Duke asked, in an extremely solemn tone,"Is this really true?"
7044The Emperor came up to me and asked,"What does chickabiddy mean?"
7044The Empress came toward me and said kindly,"How do you do?"
7044The Empress smiled and replied;"Nous voudrions toutes acheter dans ce magasin- là; but tell me, are your curls real or false?
7044The Empress thanked them and said:"What do you think best for me to do?
7044The King said to the Duke of Brunswick,"Will you not sup with us to- night?"
7044The King seemed very puzzled and, addressing Lord Lyons, said:"Was not the Duke of Brunswick obliged to leave England for fear of being arrested?"
7044The King turned to Monsieur Dué( the King does not speak English) and said,"What did Lord Lyons say?"
7044The Prince of Wales, in his peculiarly abrupt manner, said to me,"What have you been doing since Ascot?"
7044The Prince said,"What does General Trochu advise, your Majesty?"
7044The answer to the first question in the catechism( what is your name?
7044The officer answered in the most perfect French,"I shall always keep it as a precious souvenir"; and added,"May I not have a sketch of my nurse?"
7044The officer said in a low tone to me,"Is that the famous artist Beaumont?"
7044The only thing we ask ourselves now is, When will the volcano begin to pour out its flames?
7044The priest said to him,"Israel, what have you to confess?
7044The question now was, who was to drive the_ schimmel_ attached to the pole?
7044The question was, where should the game be put up, and where should the wickets be put down?
7044Then in her most dramatic tones she demanded,"Who is the child, then?"
7044Then she said, in her abrupt way,"What vocalizes do you sing?"
7044Then she was full of confidence in the triumph of the Emperor( who could have doubted it?
7044Then there is no dinner?"
7044Then, when one saw nothing but"water, water everywhere,"the ark suddenly loomed out on top of the rocks( how could they get it up there?
7044Thereupon he took up the card, and, affecting the"Marat"style, said,"Does the_ citoyenne_ wish to leave Paris?
7044They grinned from ear to ear when I sang"What, never?"
7044This was too nonchalant, and my surprise was still greater when the servant, in an unnatural and gruff voice, said,"Do you want any of this stuff?"
7044Thus departed our American hero, for who but a hero could have stormed such a fortress and broken down all the traditional barriers?
7044To find out who the uncongenial person was, every one asked, in turn,"Is it I?"
7044To what are we coming?
7044Turning to me he said,"Can you guess the answer?"
7044Turning to the man at the mantelpiece, he said,"Grousset, do you think we ought to allow the_ citoyenne_ to leave Paris?"
7044Very nice of him, was n''t it?
7044Voudriez- vous quelque chose à boire?"
7044Was it not a cruel blow?
7044Was it not a curious coincidence to meet_ here_, in this out- of- the- way place, some one who knew all about me?
7044Was it not one of the"exigencies of war"?
7044Was it not the greatest triumph of his reign to have the unanimous vote of all France-- this overwhelming proof of his popularity?
7044Was it only the day before yesterday?
7044Was it true?"
7044Was that not wonderful, that he could remember it all the time during the dinner?
7044Was_ his_ the heart that was breaking_ entzwei_?
7044We bade the_ dames d''honneur_ good night and fled, found the coupé before the entrance, and were n''t we glad to get in it and drive away?
7044We do n''t often have such luck, do we, Grousset?"
7044We hope deliverance is near at hand; but who knows how long before we have peace and quiet again?
7044We said indignantly,"If every one knows it, why were we not told?"
7044We went toward the door, which he opened, but on seeing Mademoiselle W---- he stopped us and asked:"Who is that lady?
7044Well, what do you think Madame Sarah wanted?
7044What are we coming to?
7044What better than a game of croquet?
7044What brought you here?"
7044What chord had I struck?
7044What could she want at that early hour?
7044What could the most admirable of Polos have written to have created such an effect?
7044What did he mean?
7044What did he not endure?
7044What did he say?"
7044What did they care?
7044What did we look like as we proceeded on our way?
7044What do you think he meant?
7044What do you think?
7044What had served all his art, his profound diagnosis of voice- inflections, his diagrams on the wall, the art of enunciation, and so forth?
7044What is the use, when all that is required of you is to_ beugler_( bellow)?
7044What might it not be?
7044What must his account have been in the kitchen?
7044What other mild cracker could I fire off?
7044What should I do?
7044What should I sing?
7044What should we do?
7044What was he driving at?
7044What was your cousin''s name?"
7044What were you doing?"
7044What would he say next?)
7044What?
7044When I put the question to him,"What can I do for you?"
7044When asked,"Do n''t you want to see Lillie''s first appearance?"
7044When he had finished exploding he said,"Did you understand the''choke''?"
7044When shall we get out of this muddle?
7044When we left, Beaumont said to him, showing him the sketch,"Would you like this?"
7044When-- oh, when-- should I say"Your Majesty"?
7044Where is he?"
7044Where is it?
7044Where shall we be when the buds become flowers?
7044Who but Mrs. M---- would ever have arranged such an entertainment?
7044Who can prove that he or any one else has got the evil eye?"
7044Who can they be?"
7044Who composed it?"
7044Who could ever have believed that this simple, unaffected youth could have so completely won all hearts?
7044Who could have mistaken the broad back and the slow, undulating gait of the Emperor?
7044Who could help it?
7044Why did Mrs. Moulton not come?
7044Why do n''t you ask her for a song?"
7044Why does some one else not play?"
7044Why had I not thought this out before coming?
7044Why should we come to grief?"
7044Will he not say''Io t''amo''for me?
7044With the sweetest smile she said to me,"Will_ you_ skate with_ me_?"
7044Would I be willing to help Count d''E---- in our duet, and sing a part of his music?
7044Would he talk poetry to me?
7044Would it ever be near enough?
7044Would it not be too trying for an old gentleman''s eyes to read the fine print of the_ Gazette_?
7044Would the Empress not now appear?
7044Would we be able to find anything in the various trunks in the gallery next to the theater?
7044You feel yourself, do n''t you, that it is absolutely necessary for you to clutch something when singing this?
7044You have perhaps a maid in the house?"
7044You may imagine aunty''s consternation when Dr. Hoppin asked Joshua,"Who made you?"
7044You may imagine my astonishment at seeing her smoking-- what do you think?
7044You mean''Jupiter and Io,''do n''t you?"
7044You remember Mrs. Moulton''s boudoir, where all was so dainty and complete?
7044Your Majesty has perhaps heard of him?"
7044_ November 30th._ The old, pompous, ponderous diplomat( what am I saying?)
7044_ Pourquoi?_"I answered that I was obliged to leave Paris for different reasons.
7044and, gathering some flowers off the table, handed them to me, saying:"Votre succès tenait à un cheveu, n''est- ce pas?"
7044champs?"
7044have you a flat?"
7044that the black citizens wear their rivals''teeth as trophies on their black necks?
7044was that trumps?
7044what would you have said had you seen your pupil singing this claptrap music before your sovereigns and their most distinguished guests?)
7044you must answer,''God, who made everything on earth and in heaven''--you understand?"
10381Am I discovered?
10381And So- and- So?
10381And So- and- So?
10381And afterwards?
10381And for whom has this come?
10381And my two comrades?
10381And suppose they fire on us?
10381And the two other Questors?
10381And then?
10381And those people, are they undertakers?
10381And what are you going to do?
10381And what do you want to do?
10381And you?
10381And,continued I,"you persist in refusing to print the appeal to arms?"
10381Are we going to leave her here?
10381Are you mournful?
10381Are you sure of your movement for to- night?
10381Are you there to arrest us? 10381 As to politics,"continued my wife,"what is happening?"
10381At the same time you talked?
10381At what time?
10381At whom? 10381 Because I am going away?"
10381Because--"Are you your brother?
10381But reasons of State exist?
10381But suppose I put my head out of the carriage? 10381 But suppose they kill me?"
10381But we are keeping nothing for to- morrow,objected a member of the Committee,"what ally shall we have to- morrow?"
10381But what is it about? 10381 But,"asked Girard of me,"what will you do, Monsieur Victor Hugo?"
10381But,several cried out,"suppose it does not awaken them?"
10381Citizens,said the last- maker, as he went into the barricade,"how many of you are there here?"
10381Could you live without Paris?
10381Did you not understand us?
10381Do you know me?
10381Do you know the roads?
10381Do you know what is going on?
10381Do you know what is happening?
10381Do you know where there are any more?
10381Do you sign this decree?
10381Do you think so?
10381Do you want any money, sir? 10381 Do you wish to see him?"
10381Even when it succeeds?
10381For what purpose?
10381For whom?
10381From whom do you come?
10381General,said she,"all your comrades are arrested; is it possible that you give your support to such an act?"
10381Generals?
10381God has snatched away from us all these blessings, and nothing will console me for having lost them; do you not lament with me the evils of absence? 10381 Have I time to finish my bread?"
10381Have you another gun?
10381Have you been given the cross for this?
10381Have you not chatted there?
10381Have you not laughed?
10381Have you read the placards?
10381Have you seen him? 10381 Have you your scarf of office?"
10381He would obey an order signed by you?
10381How I?
10381How do you know it?
10381How so?
10381How will you prevent me?
10381How?
10381I? 10381 I?"
10381I?
10381I?
10381In that case will you consent to print it?
10381In what sense?
10381Is it positive?
10381Is it to shoot us?
10381Is it you who undertake to guide me?
10381Is it you, sir, who wish to speak to Monsieur Victor Hugo?
10381Is that all?
10381Is the Mauguin business beginning again?
10381Is this your carriage?
10381It is right,said they,"but where shall we go?"
10381Look here; is it money that you want? 10381 Monsieur Victor Hugo,"said he,"where are you going to sleep?"
10381Of whom?
10381Shall I lose my eye?
10381The High Court?
10381Then you are not afraid of the Custom House officers?
10381They will shoot me there?
10381Well, is not the gentleman going?
10381Well, then, why accept exile when it is in your power to avoid it? 10381 Well, then,"said Schoelcher,"where is there a post?"
10381Well, then?
10381Well,I asked,"what do the people say?"
10381Well,asked the Commandant,"what did the Colonel want with you?"
10381What answer am I to take back to my husband?
10381What are you asking for?
10381What are you doing here?
10381What are you doing there?
10381What assurance have I that you are not thieves?
10381What did you say?
10381What do you intend to do there?
10381What do you know then?
10381What do you mean Nothing?
10381What do you mean, all at an end?
10381What do you mean? 10381 What do you mean?"
10381What do you mean?
10381What do you mean?
10381What do you want me to do with this?
10381What do you want me to do? 10381 What do you want me to do?"
10381What do you want to do?
10381What do you want with me?
10381What does it matter to us?
10381What does it matter?
10381What does that matter to me?
10381What does that matter to us?
10381What does that mean?
10381What does this mean? 10381 What does this mean?
10381What for?
10381What is all this for?
10381What is that to you?
10381What is that? 10381 What is that?"
10381What is the matter with you, Baudin?
10381What is to be done?
10381What is to be done?
10381What is your name, sir?
10381What is your name?
10381What measures would you advise us to adopt?
10381What the deuce are they doing with you?
10381What,I said to him,"is it you?"
10381What?
10381What?
10381Whatever was your reason for declaring this war?
10381Where am I to follow you?
10381Where are the vice- Presidents?
10381Where are these arms?
10381Where are we going?
10381Where are we going?
10381Where are we to go?
10381Where are we?
10381Where are we?
10381Where are you going?
10381Where are you going?
10381Where are you going?
10381Where are you going?
10381Where are you taking me to?
10381Where does he live?
10381Where is it sitting?
10381Where is the Café Roysin?
10381Where is the guard? 10381 Where is your brother?"
10381Where is your father?
10381Where is your son?
10381Where?
10381Where?
10381Where?
10381Where?
10381Who and what is Baron Hody?
10381Who are you?
10381Who are you?
10381Who are you?
10381Who are you?
10381Who are you?
10381Who is it?
10381Who is it?
10381Who is there?
10381Who is this Polino?
10381Who is this man?
10381Who is this young spark?
10381Who will pay for this?
10381Whom?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Will you be able to get to sleep?
10381Will you come to my house?
10381Will you pass me across them?
10381Will you see M.----, sir?
10381Would you like me to go with you?
10381You do not then approve of the Eighteenth Fructidor?
10381You have been a smuggler?
10381You have come to fetch Baudin''s body?
10381You know the Constitution?
10381You know the terms of the Constitution?
10381You promise me that?
10381You said that?
10381You would then go to the seaside?
10381You yourself?
10381Your profession?
10381Your resignation, General?
10381[ 12] Throughout that long line from the Madeleine to the Bastille, the roadway nearly everywhere, except( was this on purpose?) 10381 [ 27]"What do you want to say to me?"
10381[ 32]Who knows,"said I,"if I have not committed a fault?
10381''Is all going on well?''
10381--"What does it matter?"
10381A Legitimist Representative added,--"Of the Chamber?
10381A combatant asked him,''Who pays?''
10381A man''s voice, firm and sonorous, suddenly issued out of the darkness, and shouted to us,"Who goes there?"
10381After some fifty steps Schoelcher said,"Where are we going?
10381And by whom?
10381And he added,"How can you distrust me, who am a Republican up to the hilt?"
10381And he added,"I can no longer work; who will maintain my children?"
10381And he asked me,"Do you know him?"
10381And looking Charras in the face,--"Are you Colonel Charras?"
10381And she had answered him,"How is it that you wish me to give you my word of honor, since I should decline to receive yours?"
10381And that one?
10381And then you come to compromise us all here?
10381And then, what is an Archbishop in the presence of the Man of the_ coup d''état_?
10381And useless madness?
10381And what could I revive of Napoleon?
10381And what would the people have done with them?
10381And who are they?
10381And who was the power who said to this ocean,"Thou shalt go no farther?"
10381And whom?
10381And you?"
10381Another resumed,--"Which way have they gone?
10381Antoine Bard asked him,"Do you know Victor Hugo?"
10381Antoine?"
10381Are there not social necessities?
10381Are they guilty?
10381Are they innocent?
10381Are they midway?"
10381Are you aware to whom you are speaking?"
10381Are you of my opinion, Victor Hugo?"
10381Arnaud?"
10381As for Lawoëstyne, was he not double- faced?
10381As to a conspiracy against the Republic and against the People, how could any one premeditate such a plot?
10381As to the situation, it was doubtless terrible, it was doubtless tragical, and blood flowed, but who had brought about this situation?
10381At Lemardelay''s?
10381At the Salle Martel?
10381At the moment when he entered the barricade they cried out to him,"Who goes there?"
10381At the office of the Commissary of Police the truth was revealed.--"How is he?"
10381At the same time, nearly the same moment, Charras said to Courteille, the Commissary of Police,"Who can tell me that you are not pick- pockets?"
10381At what?"
10381Aussi doux que le tien?
10381Baron Hody did him the honor to ask him sharply,--"Who are you?"
10381Baudin entered first, tapped at the window of the porter''s lodge, and asked"Monsieur Cournet?"
10381Before he could answer, Dr. Petit entered, unfolded a paper, and said,--"Does any one know Victor Hugo''s handwriting?"
10381Before putting it in his pocket, he turned towards Colin, the Commissary of Police who had arrested him, and said,"Will this money be safe on me?"
10381Besides, why should he make such an attempt?
10381But Gressier and Howyne were only lieutenant- colonels, would these legions follow them?
10381But can she show on her lips, love, a smile as sweet as thine?
10381But for what date?
10381But how should they cross all Paris with this drum?
10381But how?
10381But if this is fair, what is unfair warfare?
10381But in this case could not the prisoner take down the authorized hammock, unroll it, hook it up, and lie down again?
10381But now a difficulty arose; how should it be conveyed to its destination?
10381But on the morrow he could at least remain lying down all day in his hammock?
10381But suppose there are two of us?"
10381But these questions, supposing them answered, and answered in the sense of success, was success itself the question?
10381But was there still a free Press?
10381But what is to be done?
10381But what was to be done, and how was the resistance to be maintained?
10381But what was to be done?
10381But what?
10381But where should a printer be found?
10381But where should they meet?
10381But who would answer for this reserve?
10381But wise men interposed,"Are we not prejudiced by offensive conjectures?
10381But would he obey the Left alone?
10381By a Colossus?
10381By whom?
10381Call to arms the 8th Legion?
10381Can one imagine Paris in a cellar?
10381Charras burst out laughing, and asked them,"Where then are you going to leave me?"
10381Concealment?
10381Corrupt M. Dupin?
10381Could one be Emperor for less?
10381Could they lie down?
10381Could they offend you?
10381Count on the Army?
10381Cournet turned suddenly to the police spy, and asked him,--"Have you a warrant for my arrest?"
10381Crestin entered the room, went straight up to M. Dupin, and said to him,"President, you know what is going on?
10381DUTY CAN HAVE TWO ASPECTS Had it been in the power of the Left at any moment to prevent the_ coup d''état_?
10381De Flotte nudged me with his elbow, and whispered,--"Do you know Fialin?"
10381Did he feel himself already chosen?
10381Did they know the accused?
10381Did they listen to him?
10381Did they really see this before them?
10381Did we not love each other clearly, my darling?
10381Do I give you the impression of a madman?
10381Do I not know your affection, and do I not know that you love me?
10381Do not you recognize me?
10381Do you accept it?"
10381Do you consent?"
10381Do you know where they are taking you?
10381Do you perfectly understand?"
10381Do you think that_ coups d''état_ are extinguished in the way Gulliver put out the fire?"
10381Do you wish for any?
10381Does this page of the Register of the Court of Cassation exist at the present time?
10381Doubtless he has his suspicious side, but why suppose him an absolute villain?
10381Dr. Deville, who had attended Espinasse when he had been wounded, noticed him on the boulevard, and asked him,"Up to what point are you going?"
10381Emile Péan asked,--"What will become of the Red Spectre?"
10381Empty dreams-- illusions of a moment-- my hand seeks yours; where are you, my beloved one?
10381Esquiros addressed her:"Is this really M. Cournet''s house?"
10381Flight?
10381For what crimes?
10381For what purpose?
10381From what riot?
10381From whence does this come?
10381Frontiers?
10381Further questions on the part of Louis Bonaparte,"What are these casemates?"
10381General Oudinot, under whom he had served, rebuked him severely,--"Do you know me?"
10381Had Maupas become unequal to the task?
10381Had a counter order been given?
10381Had he been arrested?
10381Had he been there to effect a new forced loan?
10381Had not Louis Bonaparte written the work entitled"Pauperism"?
10381Had the soldiers feared to follow them into the little narrow streets, where each corner of the houses might conceal an ambuscade?
10381Had they resorted to a more skilful man?
10381Has he not pledged honor?
10381Has he not said,"No one in Europe doubts my word?"
10381Have you a safe place where you can sleep to- night?"
10381He added,--"Would you like one for yourself?"
10381He addressed himself to Baraguay d''Hilliers:"Well, general, do you know what they are saying?"
10381He asked me,--"Shall we conquer?"
10381He came back, and it was hailing musket- balls; he said,"My pipe?"
10381He continued,--"Do you know what they are saying already?"
10381He continued,--"Yon, the Commissary of Police, is a Republican?''
10381He continued:"Now, Citizen Victor Hugo, if a movement takes place to- night in the Faubourg St. Marceau, will you head it?
10381He cried out,--"Soldiers, do you know what the man is who is speaking to you at this moment?
10381He got up, dressed himself, brushed his clothes as well as he could, and asked the landlord,"Where is the Police office?"
10381He had the best intentions in the world, but what could he do?
10381He heard the step of Pierre Tissié, and cried out,--"Who goes there?"
10381He resumed,--"Could you bear exile?"
10381He resumed,--"What have you come to do here?
10381He resumed,--"You have full powers?"
10381He turned round to me and said,"It looks as though we should find barricades out there, sir; shall we turn back?"
10381He whispered to the Commissary"Are you quite sure?"
10381Here it is:--"MY DEAR MARIE,"Have you experienced that sweet pain of feeling regret for him who regrets you?
10381How could he be at the same time very much a sub- prefect, and in some degree a lacquey?
10381How could he combine the appearance of obsequiousness, which would please Changarnier, with the appearance of authority, which would please Bonaparte?
10381How had he reached the barricade of the Petit Carreau?
10381How is it that the Assembly has not yet been convened?"
10381How many cannon?
10381How many cartridges?
10381How many guns?
10381How many men are there?
10381How many soldiers?
10381How should he keep on good terms at the same time this Cabbage, which is called To- day, and that Goat, which is called To- morrow?
10381How should it be overcome?
10381How was the letter to be delivered?
10381How will that difficulty be surmounted?
10381How would they have proceeded to set fire to the masses?
10381How?
10381I asked him,"Would it be useful to you if a Representative, a member of the Committee, were with you to- night with his sash girded?"
10381I asked him,--"What is your name?"
10381I asked him,--"What street is this?"
10381I asked the driver,--"What street are we in?"
10381I cried out to them,"You know what is going on?"
10381I left her this morning to come with you, and she said to me,''Papa, where are you going?''
10381I took him aside, and said to him,"Are you going back?"
10381I went straight up to this man, and I said to him,--"You seem to be waiting for somebody?"
10381I went up to him, and I asked him,--"Have you any workmen of the_ Presse_ still remaining?"
10381I wish to blot out these lines, but why?
10381If you continue, do you know what History will say of you?
10381In another the men of the Right surrounded the men of the Left, and asked them:"Are not the faubourgs going to rise?"
10381In the Rue Pagevin a soldier said to a passer- by,"What are you doing here?"
10381In the midst of one of these pauses M. Bixio sat upright, and raising his voice, cried out,"Gentlemen, what do you think of''passive obedience''?"
10381In the name of what laws?
10381In truth, should the Royalists fear Louis Bonaparte?
10381Instead of this, what steps did the High Court take?
10381Is he a dog?
10381Is he a writer?
10381Is it Paris that produces this effect upon me?
10381Is it a hearse?"
10381Is it about to have another?
10381Is it fair warfare?
10381Is it not essential that Béville should have 87,000 francs a year and Fleury 95,000 francs?
10381Is it not necessary that Louis Bonaparte should have 76,712 francs a day?
10381Is it regarding politics?"
10381Is it true, as has been stated, that the prefect Maupas sent for the Register and tore out the leaf containing the decree?
10381Is there any Prussian blood in your veins, in you who are listening to me?
10381Jules Favre had several times exclaimed,"Is any one there?"
10381Lamoricière, Changarnier, Cavaignac, Leflô, Bedeau, Charras; how could any one imagine the Army of Africa arresting the Generals of Africa?
10381Let us, therefore, meet to- morrow at this Salle Roysin; but at what time?
10381Louis Bonaparte had asked,"Do they give them a truss of straw?"
10381Louis Bonaparte had inquired,"What precautions had been taken?"
10381M. Berryer met Eugène Sue, and they exchanged these words:"Where are you going?"
10381M. Béhic had asked M. Gautier de Rumilly,"What are they doing?
10381M. de Tocqueville added,"I said to myself every night,''I lie down to sleep a Minister; what if I should awake a prisoner?''"
10381M. de Vatimesnil asked a soldier,"Will you dare to arrest us-- us, the Representatives of the People?"
10381Michel said to me,--"Hugo, what will you do?"
10381Must we continue?
10381Now then, what do you want with me?"
10381Now, do you wish to know my name?
10381Of what kind of resistance?
10381Of what sex are they?
10381Of what?
10381On the evening of the Second of December I had asked him,"How old are you?"
10381On the preceding day he wrote:--"Where are the Representatives?
10381On whom?
10381One of them asked me,"Citizen Victor Hugo, what ought we to do?"
10381One soldier was heard to say to another,"What have you done with your ten francs of this morning?"
10381Or, awakened and enlightened, would they at length arise?
10381Order the Commissary Yon?
10381People asked of a wife, of a sister, of a daughter, of a mother,--"Where is your husband?"
10381People said to themselves, Who is this son of Hortense?
10381See, is there any Russian blood in my veins, in me who am speaking to you?
10381Shall we try this?
10381She asked him,"Is any one there?"
10381She cried out,--"Is this then the Government?"
10381She raised her eyes, and answered,--"Did I make that objection to you when you left me the day before yesterday?"
10381She receive such a man?
10381She turned pale, and said to me,"What are you going to do?"
10381She was startled by the manner in which I kissed her, and asked me,"What is the matter?"
10381Should we follow it, or should we stop?
10381Such a crime committed by our soldiers?
10381Such extreme outrages are beyond him; he is incapable of them physically, why judge him capable of them morally?
10381Suddenly a fellow- traveller asked,--"What place is this?"
10381Suppose I call out?
10381Suppose I had you arrested?
10381Suppose I reclaimed my liberty?"
10381THE APPOINTMENT MADE WITH THE WORKMEN''S SOCIETIES What had become of our Committee during these tragic events, and what was it doing?
10381Testelin asked Gambon,"Have you a pencil?"
10381The 5th and 6th?
10381The Commissary exclaimed,"Oh, General, what are you thinking of?"
10381The President asked this strange question, which implied the acceptance of an order,--"Have you a warrant?"
10381The Rue de la Roquette is good, the Rue de Charonne is good; but on the side of Père la Chaise they ask,''What good will that do us?''
10381The answer is known which he made to a princess who asked him,"What is the Elysée?"
10381The driver asked me,--"Which way are we to go, sir?"
10381The gendarme replied,"_ What is that to me?_"At three o''clock on the morning of the 4th all the printing- offices were evacuated by the soldiers.
10381The judge looks fixedly at the prisoner, and answers,--"Well, then?"
10381The little one added,"Do you think that the good will is wanting?
10381The man, opening his coat, displayed his scarf of office, asking M. Baze,"Do you recognize this?"
10381The manager went up to the man, and said to him,"Is that you, Monsieur de Béville?"
10381The officer answered by a gesture of despair,--"What would you have us do?"
10381The officer refused to give his name, and replied,"So, gentlemen, you will not withdraw?"
10381The password settled upon was,"What is Joseph doing?"
10381The porter said,"Gentlemen, are you Representatives?"
10381The voice which had shouted,"Who goes there?"
10381Then turning to his colleagues, he exclaimed,"Do you hear?
10381Then, what should we call this Assembly?
10381They accosted each other, and this is the sort of conversation they held:--"What has became of So- and- So?"
10381They ambitious?
10381They asked Admiral Cécile,"Now, really, what does this mean?"
10381They asked Jeanty Sarre,--"Who is he?"
10381They began by this cry,"What shall we do?"
10381They cried out,"What decree?"
10381They harangued the people on the doorsteps:"Is it the Empire that you want?"
10381They murmured on the benches of the Assembly,"Who is this scoundrel?"
10381Those shapeless eyes which the bark of trees delineates on the trunks were gazing-- at what?
10381To be Genius?
10381To be Probity?
10381To have us murdered?
10381To have us shot?
10381To make Kératry President?
10381To pay him?
10381To sit in Judgment?
10381To violate every law, to perjure oneself, to strangle Right, to assassinate the country, are all these proceedings wholly honest?
10381To what purpose was this monstrous promiscuous murder?
10381To what purpose?
10381To what purpose?
10381To what purpose?
10381To what species do they belong?
10381To- morrow, where shall we be?
10381Victories?
10381Was I right?
10381Was I wrong?
10381Was all that was being done quite correct?
10381Was he about to supplant Maupas?
10381Was he going to preside?
10381Was it a shout of defiance?
10381Was it a token of applause?
10381Was it not evident that his own soldiers would answer him,"What do you want with us?
10381Was it possible?
10381Was it still following the strategy of Gustavus Adolphus?
10381Was it still following the tactics of Frederick II.?
10381Was it too late?
10381Was it too soon?
10381Was it, however, needful to provide for such extreme eventualities?
10381We decided that in order to make himself known, the messenger, when accosting me, should give the password,"What is Joseph doing?"
10381We have nothing to do with women''s passports,"and he asked Quinet abruptly,"Your papers?"
10381We heard them say,"Where are those blackguard Reds?
10381We were beaten, granted, but was it necessary to add annihilation to defeat?
10381Well, what of it?
10381Were they sure of him?
10381Were they tired?
10381Were they to be forgotten there?
10381What advocates did they listen to?
10381What are these men?
10381What are we doing?"
10381What are you doing there?
10381What are you doing?"
10381What bandage had they on their eyes, what weight had they on their hearts?
10381What can I do?
10381What can be done against a revolution which has so much right on its side?
10381What could be done?
10381What could be the premeditation of Louis Bonaparte?
10381What deliberation did they enter upon?
10381What did all this mean?
10381What did his uncle matter to him?
10381What did this parody mean?
10381What did we know about this?
10381What do the thieves do?
10381What do these words matter to them, Equity, Truth, Conscience, which moreover in certain circles do not move men any more than stones?
10381What do they contain that could wound my darling?
10381What do they know about all this?
10381What do you call yourself?
10381What do you hope for?"
10381What do you place above your country?"
10381What do you want to do on a night like this?
10381What do you want?"
10381What good is the lightning which is not followed by the thunderbolt?
10381What is a Constitution; what are the most holy laws, against three words which a corporal may murmur into the ear of a sentinel?
10381What is all this?
10381What is this in truth?
10381What is to be done with the 4th of December?
10381What passed within me at that moment?
10381What penalties did they inflict?
10381What power could Oudinot, the strangler of a Republic, possess to save a Republic?
10381What public did they call in?
10381What was coming out of this thick darkness?
10381What was going to happen and what was about to become of us all?
10381What was he looking for?
10381What was he thinking of?
10381What was the High Court of Justice doing?
10381What was the meaning of it all?
10381What was the name of this general?
10381What was the_ coup d''état_?
10381What was this hooting in the Rue de l''Echelle?
10381What was this humanity?
10381What was to be done?
10381What was to be done?
10381What was to be done?
10381What were they waiting for?
10381What witnesses did they question?
10381What would they have done with the people?
10381What, then, is in question?
10381When Tamisier rose and pronounced this terrifying word,"The Roman Question?"
10381When he appeared on the threshold of the omnibus in all his hugeness, a cry of alarm arose;--Where was he going to sit?
10381When this man crossed the station in company with Charras, a lady traveller said,--"Has he got M. Thiers in his pocket?"
10381When we entered there was silence, and they asked us,"Well, what news?"
10381Where could this letter be hidden?
10381Where hove you come from?
10381Where is the Respect for Right?
10381Where is the oath?
10381Where is the sworn faith?
10381Where should I sleep?
10381Where was the man capable of entertaining such a dream?
10381Where will he begin?
10381Where, and how?
10381Where?
10381Where?
10381Which can we accomplish by our will?
10381Which of these depends upon ourselves?
10381Which was undertaken against whom?
10381While getting in he asked the man:"Do you belong to the Police?"
10381Who am I?
10381Who are you, sir?"
10381Who are you?
10381Who can foresee the course of events?
10381Who commands them?
10381Who indeed amongst the organizers of the_ coup d''état_ would have taken the trouble to make sure of his joining them?
10381Who is against us?
10381Who is it imagines that they will make me travel by order with a false passport, and under a false name?"
10381Who is this one?
10381Who is with us?
10381Who knows what might have happened?
10381Who signed the orders?"
10381Who was Morny?
10381Whoever could have forgotten to shut the door?
10381Whom should they appoint?
10381Whom?
10381Why are we separated?
10381Why are you in the street?
10381Why do you cross the path of the Government?
10381Why have I been forced to fly from you?
10381Why not?
10381Why should I be considered man?
10381Why should he not act in good faith?
10381Why should they introduce an innovation?
10381Why then should we fight?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?
10381Why?"
10381Will it burst forth again?
10381Will there be an insurrection at least?"
10381Will there be any frontiers in twenty years?
10381Will they not come?"
10381Will they preserve their honor?
10381With Belgium?
10381With Piedmont?
10381With Switzerland?
10381With whom?
10381Would M. de Royer consent?
10381Would he march to the assistance of the Assembly?
10381Would it not be madness?
10381Would it not be to play the last card of the Republic without any possible chance of success?
10381Would the people, that great revolutionary populace of the faubourgs of Paris, abandon their Representatives?
10381Would they abandon themselves?
10381Would they allow Germany to go on?
10381Would you say to this crew,''For my part I consider this vessel badly built, and I will let it be destroyed''?"
10381X. was a prop for the_ coup d''état_, but would he consent?
10381You and ourselves, all of us who are in this street, at this hour, with the sword or gun in hand, what are we about to do?
10381You have not been to the_ café_?"
10381Your name?
10381and who are we?"
10381and, further, to what purpose?
10381answered the boy;"what is that?"
10381exclaimed Baron Hody in a much gentler tone,"did you know His Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville?"
10381from what madness?
10381is it possible?
10381it is very cold, can not I relight my cigar here?"
10381it is you?
10381mean?
10381said Arago,"are you going to the Elysée?"
10381said he,"can I not answer the signals which two of my colleagues are making to me?"
10381said he,"this is my place of residence, and I am free?
10381shall I tell you the name of this man?
10381was it possible?
10381who would have dared to exhibit none amongst all these men, of whom not one trembled?
10381you have come to visit the prisoners?"
3567, said the Emperor;to Court?"
3567Ah, Monsieur, if we condemn him, how shall we be able to acquit ourselves?
3567Am I;said Napoleon,"to regulate my actions by the Grand Marshal''s watch?
3567And indeed what order could Marshal Ney have given?
3567Bourrienne,said he,"can you imagine anything more pitiable than their system of finance?
3567Bourrienne,said he,"do you still keep up your acquaintance with the Fauchers?"
3567But is there none in the Guard''s chest? 3567 But,"added Reynier,"if you should persist in forcing him to resign the supreme power, whom will you put in his place?"
3567Can you carry it to this point? 3567 Did he speak about Egypt?"
3567Do you confess having been arrested in the place designated by the witness?
3567Do you know, Bourrienne,said he,"that I have been performing the duties of professor?"
3567Do you think I have time to read all your fooleries?
3567Do you think,returned he,"that my heart is less French than yours?
3567Had he not seduced his sisters, one after the other?
3567Has my wife been saying anything more to you about the Bourbons?
3567Has not your insatiable ambition brought us to this? 3567 Have you any one among your officers,"he asked,"who is well acquainted with Ragusa?"
3567Have you not read your bulletin?
3567Have you read this bulletin?
3567Have you seen him, Bourrienne?
3567How can I help it?
3567How can you expect,said Napoleon,"that I can accede to such a proposition?
3567How did Napoleon receive you?
3567How so?
3567How,said I, with thorough astonishment,"how came you to be employed in this affair?
3567Is it done, Noverraz?
3567Is it my fault?
3567Is it really true,said the Emperor to them,"that you thought of crossing the sea in this?"
3567Is, then, my power so insecure,said he,"that it may be put in peril by a single individual, and a prisoner?
3567Marshal,said the Emperor, before he opened the letter,"may this be read aloud?"
3567My dear Bourrienne,said he,"can you suppose that the elevated rank I have attained has altered my feelings towards you?
3567Of what do you complain?
3567Pray,said he,"am I not thought to be given to a belief in predestination?"
3567See,said he one day,"was there ever such an inconsistency?
3567Sieyès, however, is a very profound man.--"Profound?"
3567Simpleton,said Lefebvre,"why did you not come to me?
3567Sir, said the Emperor, getting more and more irritated,I have given the orders once more; why have they not been executed?
3567So, Monsieur Horan,said he,"you did not leave the Empress during her malady?"
3567That is not much good, is it?
3567Well and had you not the resource of weak states? 3567 Well, Bourrienne,"said Murat, after we had exchanged the usual courtesies,"well, what are you about now?"
3567Well, Doctor,said he to him,"are you satisfied with your patient-- is he obedient enough?
3567Well, Esmenard,said he,"do you still hold your place in the police?"
3567Well, General,said I,"what think you of our journey?
3567Well, General?
3567Well,asked the latter,"have you seen Bourrienne?"
3567Well,said he,"and what would you have done?"
3567Well?
3567What are you doing here?
3567What are you doing there, Bourrienne? 3567 What can I do?"
3567What did you go there for?
3567What have I said?
3567What is it,said he,"these babblers want?
3567What is it?
3567What is the matter?
3567What matters that? 3567 What pamphlet is this?
3567What signifies that,replied Bonaparte,"if it was necessary to the object he had in view?"
3567What was the cause of that malady?
3567What was the force of that army?
3567What will become of me,said he,"if the English, who are cruising hereabout, should learn that I have landed in Corsica?
3567What would you have, my dear?
3567What,said Josephine,"can be thought of this in Paris?
3567What; General, is it you?
3567Where are you going? 3567 Where have you been?"
3567Where is Duroc?
3567Where was my head when I made that grant?
3567Who could have foreseen,said he,"that after being your prisoner I should become the protector of your property?
3567Why,he said, addressing me hastily,"why was not my letter delivered yesterday evening?"
3567Would you believe, my dear friend, that the persons to whom I made these candid protestations laughed at my credulity? 3567 You are above these weaknesses; but what would you have?
3567You are in love? 3567 You are perhaps right, sir,"said M. de Blacas,"but what could I do?
3567You are, then, decidedly going to Asia?
3567You remarked it, Bourrienne?
3567You seem to admire him greatly,said Bonaparte to M. Lemercier;"what do you find in him so astonishing?
3567You will dine with me?
3567''Do you see this man?''
3567''Excommunicated you, my son?''
3567''For what purpose are we come here?''
3567''How is that?''
3567''I know,''said I,''that your Majesty may still keep the sword drawn, but with whom, and against whom?
3567''If they do not like me to remain in France, where am I to go?
3567''Should they,''thought I,''suffer for their mother''s faults?''
3567''Was not this well done, Bourrienne?''
3567''Well,''said I,''since it was so very right, why did you not follow my example, and why leave me to say all?''
3567''Well,''said the First Consul, advancing angrily towards Fouché,''will you still say that this is the Royalist party?''
3567''What do they mean to do with me?''
3567''What do they want with me?''
3567''What do you suppose they would do to a man disarmed like me?
3567''Why not America?''
3567''Why should I not stay here?''
3567''Will you have the goodness, Madame,''said he,''to go and wait for me at my head- quarters?
3567-- What could be expected from Regnier, charged as he was with incompatible functions?
3567--"A Chouan?"
3567--"A very young man, say you?
3567--"And how much did you pay him?"
3567--"And what did he say?"
3567--"And what then?"
3567--"And whose, then?"
3567--"Are you not my secretary?"
3567--"But are you sure he is against you?"
3567--"But the money?"
3567--"But what is to be done?
3567--"But, Sire, is she not as unhappy in being banished from her country and her friends as if she were in prison?"
3567--"Did he reproach me with nothing else?"
3567--"Did she see that she was dying?
3567--"Did you kill a man?"
3567--"Did you not choose him; why then can you not choose some one else to govern you?
3567--"Did you tell him I wished him to pay 6,000,000 into your chest?"
3567--"Do you imagine I do not think of it?
3567--"Do you think I am to be deceived by these fair promises?
3567--"Does not her conduct justify me in so doing?"
3567--"General, have you proofs against him?"
3567--"General, need I remind you that Louis, in his letter, guarantees the contrary of all you apprehend?
3567--"General,"said I,"on what do you ground this assurance?"
3567--"How came you to give your dog that name?"
3567--"How so, you little rogue; do you mean to insult me?"
3567--"How the devil should I know?"
3567--"I do not know; but is this the time to think of such a thing, when the eyes of all France are fixed upon you?
3567--"I, General?
3567--"In May?
3567--"Is he still at home?"
3567--"May I presume to inquire what it is?"
3567--"Nay, that is impossible."--"Why?"
3567--"Not a hair has escaped me: what say you?"
3567--"Oh no, it is worthless; what say you?"
3567--"Sire, how can you imagine my mother is happy when she is absent from her country and her friends?
3567--"Sire, my brother and myself had intended to settle in France, but how can we live in a country where our mother can not visit us?"
3567--"Sire, will your Majesty permit me to repeat that my mother has no wish whatever to mingle in society?
3567--"That is true, I certainly do not."--"Why?"
3567--"Then surely you would not harm the man by whom it is signed?"
3567--"Then why do you take the trouble to accompany me?"
3567--"Then you do not know where he is gone?"
3567--"Very badly, Sire."--"How?
3567--"Well, Bourrienne, are you of the opinion that Moreau is innocent?"
3567--"Well, Bourrienne, what do you say to it?
3567--"Well, General, why not take means to obviate the mischief you foresee?"
3567--"Well, then, why did you allow it to appear?"
3567--"What am I to understand by that?"
3567--"What can all this mean?"
3567--"What did he say?
3567--"What has Bourrienne done?"
3567--"What is it, and on whose behalf?"
3567--"What is it?"
3567--"What is your name?"
3567--"What is your objection to Desfournaux?"
3567--"What were you doing in Paris?"
3567--"What, sir?"
3567--"What, would you part from her?"
3567--"Where is Bourrienne?"
3567--"Where is your mother?"
3567--"Who was in company with you?"
3567--"Whom have you seen in Paris?"
3567--"Why should I be in uniform?"
3567--"Why should I not?
3567--"Why, General?"
3567--"Will not your troops join me in an advance on Paris?"
3567--"Will she like that?"
3567--"Yes, Sire, she loved you, and she would have proved it had it not been for dread of displeasing you: she had conceived an idea."--"How?
3567--"You believe that?"
3567--''And who has not, Sire?''
3567--''But if I were to pardon you would you be grateful for my mercy?''
3567--''By whom were you sent?
3567--''Did you intend to kill me then?''
3567--''Did you mean to attempt his life?''--''Yes.''--''Why?''
3567--''Does your Majesty suppose that I can bind myself by such an engagement?
3567--''Have I done you any harm?''
3567--''How long have you been in Vienna?''
3567--''Is this the first time you have seen me?''
3567--''She will doubtless be much distressed at your adventure?''
3567--''What condition, Sire?''
3567--''What could I do?''
3567--''What did you intend to do with your knife?''
3567--''What do you mean?''
3567--''What does he say respecting the new regulation for the court- dresses?''
3567--''What is your father?''
3567--''Whose portrait is that which was found on you?''
3567--''Why did you wait so long before you attempted the execution of your project?''
3567--''Why did you wish to kill me?''
3567--''You are ill, then?''
3567--''You are mad, young man; you are one of the illuminati?''
3567--[Here Bourrienne says in a note"Where did Sir Walter Scott learn that we were neither seen nor recognised?
3567--he exclaimed,"is it possible you can be guilty of such baseness as this?
3567After pinching my ear and asking his usual questions, such as,"What does the world say?
3567After reading the report, would you believe that the Emperor flew into a furious passion?
3567After this, what more can be wanted?
3567Against whom did Bonaparte propose to protect them?
3567Am I no better than M. d''Artois?
3567Am I not your comrade?
3567Am I quite right?"
3567Am I strong enough to overcome all those obstacles?"
3567Am I then an advance- guard King?"
3567Am I to trouble much longer the digestion of Kings?"
3567And am I not ready to do so again?"
3567And as to the third, can he find pleasure or honour in humiliation of his son- in- law?
3567And at what a time did this disaster befall him?
3567And patting his belly with both his hands,''Can a man,''he asked,''so fat as I am be ambitious?''
3567And then what title has the Chamber to demand my abdication?
3567And was this not to be obtained?
3567And who was Ney to charge?
3567And why should he have done so?
3567And, finally, what must be done with them when under the ramparts of that town, if we should be able to take them there?
3567Apropos, Bourrienne, have you seen Corvisart?"
3567Are not all the debts of the State sacred?"
3567Are you in a hurry?
3567Are you jesting with me?
3567Are you satisfied?
3567Are you satisfied?"
3567Are you satisfied?"
3567Are you then tired of peace?
3567As M. de Stael advanced towards the Emperor the latter said,"Whence do you come?"
3567As for me, have I not, I ask you, made sufficient advances to him?
3567As he was an eyewitness, why does he not state the whole truth, and say that on her return Bonaparte refused to see her and did not see her?
3567As soon as he entered the apartment in which Napoleon was the latter stepped up to him and said,"Well, how are things going on?"
3567As we passed the Place Louis XV., now Louis XVI., he asked me what Napoleon was doing, and what my opinion was as to the coming events?
3567At another time he would say,"Your dress is none of the cleanest..... Do you ever change your gown?
3567At this period even Madame de Stael said, in a party where the firmness of M. Barbs Marbois was the topic of conversation--"What, he inflexible?
3567Austria, Russia, and Prussia have all had a slice of the cake; when the match is once kindled who knows where, the conflagration may stop?
3567Besides, what could be meant by the reasonable equivalent from England?
3567Bonaparte inquired if some fairy were to offer to gratify all his wishes what he would ask?
3567Bonaparte, is it possible you could suspect Bourrienne, who is so attached to you, and who is your only friend?
3567Bonaparte, not knowing of the little step down into the room, slipped and nearly fell,"Where is Bourrienne?"
3567Bonaparte, on seeing the pearls, did not fail to say to Madame,"What is it you have got there?
3567Bourrienne, are we not old comrades?
3567But are there no means of making them refund?
3567But can a man of sound sense listen for one moment to such a doctrine?
3567But for that I must have twenty years, and who can count on the future?
3567But for this imaginary resistance, officially announced, how would it have been possible to justify the spoliations and exactions which ensued?
3567But how can that fact be ascertained, since General d''Hautpoult was killed on that same day?
3567But if there was duplicity at Vienna was there not folly, nay, blindness, in the Cabinet of the Tuileries?
3567But is that case could I have expected more from him than from my own brother?
3567But is there not some ground for suspecting the fidelity of him who writes or dictates his own history?
3567But it may be said to me, Why should we place more confidence in you than in those who have written before you?
3567But on which side is truth?
3567But once more, what is there to fear?
3567But tell me, what would you do if he were to return?"
3567But under what pretext was the absence of the conqueror of Montebello to be procured?
3567But what are men?
3567But what can be done against illuminism?
3567But what could Mallet do?
3567But what did Napoleon himself say on the subject at St. Helena?
3567But what does this signify to England?
3567But what has been the result of this great political spoliation?
3567But why did he wish to stamp false initials on things with which neither he nor his reign had any connection; as, for example the old Louvre?
3567But why was it not addressed directly to me by Macdonald?"
3567But why?
3567But, even relying on his good faith, would be he able to keep his promise?
3567But, on the other hand, did not the people evince decided obstinacy and insubordination?
3567Can I confine him in the Temple?
3567Can it for a moment be doubted that the principal agents of authority daily committed the most fraudulent peculations?
3567Can not you stay a few minutes longer?"
3567Can she not go to Rome, to Berlin, to Vienna, to Milan, or to London?
3567Can the mercy which they have exercised even in the fury of battle be extinct in their hearts?
3567Can there be a more evident, a more direct proof of this than the digging of the grave beforehand?
3567Can there be anything in common between me and the refugees of Geneva?"
3567Can you disbelieve in God?
3567Can you endure to think of the dismemberment of our country?"
3567Can you see how far reaction would extend?"
3567Citizen, what say they of Bonaparte?
3567Could I be Prefect of Police under a Minister whom a short time before I had received orders to arrest, but who eluded my agents?
3567Could I doubt the truth of Bouvet de Lozier''s declaration, under the circumstances in which it was made?
3567Could I foresee that he would deny his first declaration when brought before the Court?
3567Could I suffer such open conspiracies against the Government?
3567Could it be done?
3567Could it ever have been imagined that the correspondence of the army, to whom he addressed this proclamation, teemed with accusations against him?
3567Could justice, that safeguard of human rights, be duly administered in the Hanse Towns when those towns were converted into French departments?
3567Could she make that sacrifice?
3567Could there be a greater proof of the Consul''s horror of tyranny?
3567Could they be incorporated, disarmed, with our soldiers in the ranks?
3567Could we even tell what might occur during the march?
3567Could we reasonably rely upon Austria?
3567Could you believe for one moment that I would tamper with a magistrate in order to induce him to exercise an unjust rigour?"
3567Could you believe that during the trial he went about clamouring in behalf of Moreau?
3567Detain him?
3567Did he do well?
3567Did he talk of a divorce?"
3567Did not all the Kings that I created act nearly in the same manner?
3567Did she show courage?"
3567Did she suffer much?"
3567Did you ever know an instance of so important an announcement proving untrue after it had been published in the London Gazette?
3567Did you ever know men rise by their own merit under kings?
3567Did you say that the fools of the Faubourg St. Germain would multiply the copies of this protest of Comte de Lille?
3567Do n''t you think we have not worked badly since that time?
3567Do not I know what he did at Lyons and the Loire?
3567Do you imagine that all those who came to flatter me were sincere?
3567Do you know that you have all of you been the cause of my not following up the battle of Chebreisse?
3567Do you know what passed when I took him aside?
3567Do you not read them?
3567Do you recollect the necklace?"
3567Do you remember what you said to me in the Rue St. Anne nearly two years ago?"
3567Do you suppose I am ignorant of what he said of me and of my vote at the National Convention?
3567Do you suppose I am not acquainted with everything?
3567Do you swear?"
3567Do you think I am to be imposed upon by that word?
3567Do you think I would have left you alone with a man like that?
3567Do you think to overawe us by this?
3567Do you wish to have an idea of their appearance?
3567Does any one imagine that the Foreign Powers will be won over by fine words?
3567Does he sulk at me?
3567Does not every State creditor say the same of his debt?
3567Does not this form a singular contrast with the patriotic munificence displayed at the death of General Foy?
3567Education-- is it not?
3567Feeling the cold air which came up the staircase he pressed my arm and said,''Are they going to put me into a dungeon?''"
3567Finding me still alone with the sentinel, he asked me, smiling,"whether I had not been frightened?"
3567Flattery?
3567For whom did I fight at Bassano?
3567Four years ago did I not with a feeble army drive before me hordes of Sardinians and Austrians, and scour the face of Italy?
3567General, what security would you have?"
3567Genevieve?"
3567Grouchy, Ney, D''Erlon-- was there treachery or was it merely misfortune?
3567Had he attached himself to me, I would doubtless have conferred on him the title of First Marshal of the Empire; but what could I do?
3567Has he not been voluntarily chosen Prince Royal of Sweden; may he not also be raised to the same rank in France?
3567Has not England sent assassins?"
3567Has not Savary also eventually got his police?
3567Have I agents in London to disturb the Government of Great Britain?
3567Have I food for them?--ships to convey them to Egypt or France?
3567Have I not always been contending either with domestic enemies or foreign foes?
3567Have I not been wounded twenty times among you?
3567Have I not shared your fatigues and privations?
3567Have I positive and substantive proof of what I assert?
3567Have I the giving of them?
3567Have not some of the intriguers put it into his head that I regard him with jealousy?
3567Have not the keys of Damascus already been offered me?
3567Have the soldiers of liberty become executioners?
3567Have they calculated upon the inevitable consequences of this abdication?
3567Have they not actually consumed 75,000,000 in advance?
3567Have you heard any bad news?"
3567Have you not sacrificed everything to that ambition, even the happiness of France?
3567He asked Antommarchi if 500 guineas would satisfy the English physician, and if he himself would like to serve Maria Louisa in quality of a physician?
3567He asked me whether I would go with him?
3567He asked, jestingly,"How it was that he frequently beat those who beat better players than himself?"
3567He complained of being accused of ambition; and observing that I looked astonished and doubtful--''What?''
3567He considered victory to be a thing that was impossible, and even with a victory, what would have become of the expedition?
3567He may have reported to you what he pleased, but could not I do the same by him?
3567He merely said,''So you have seen Bourrienne?
3567He never failed to ask whence they came?
3567He one day said to me:"What gross stupidity, is this?
3567He said:"The three armies, of the North, of the Rhine, and of the Sambre- et- Meuse, are to form only one, the army of Germany.--Augereau?
3567He says that he made us Kings; but did we not make him an Emperor?
3567He showed me this letter, saying,"What do you think of it?
3567He then asked,"Was she long ill?
3567He will not remain at Savona, and where does he wish I should send him?"
3567Here Josephine again interrupted me by exclaiming,"My kind friend, when you spoke of children did he say anything to you?
3567His favourite phrase, which was every moment on his lips, must not be forgotten--"What will history say-- what will posterity think?"
3567How are your children?
3567How can this be answered?
3567How could he be otherwise?
3567How could he have supported the establishment he did with only 15,000 francs of income and the emoluments of his rank?
3567How could it be otherwise?
3567How could it ever be said that the Directory"kept General Bonaparte away from the great interests which were under discussion at Rastadt"?
3567How could it ever be said that the Duc d''Enghien perished as a presumed accomplice in the conspiracy of Georges?
3567How could that Prince write to Bonaparte to offer him his services and to solicit the command of an army?
3567How could you suffer such a snare to be laid for him?
3567How do you think a man can make friends unless he keeps a good table?
3567How does this declaration tally with his avowal, that if he had received the Prince''s letter he should have lived?
3567How give credit to assertions so very opposite?
3567How have they made their fortunes?
3567How is this precipitation to be explained?
3567How shall I be sure that you will not compromise other persons equally unjustly?
3567How then should the news alluded to have escaped me?
3567How was it that the name of the illustrious accused was not once mentioned in the course of that awful trial?
3567How was she to wear a necklace purchased without her husband''s knowledge?
3567However great Napoleon may have been, was he not also liable to pay his tribute to the weakness of human nature?
3567I asked Josephine whether she wore out two hats in one day?
3567I asked him to give me his word that he would do nothing against me; what do you think was his answer?"
3567I at first refused my sanction to this measure; but after the charge made against him by Bouvet de Lozier, how could I act otherwise than I did?
3567I had passed the evening of this day with M. de Talleyrand, who then observed to the Emperor Alexander in my presence,"Will you support Bonaparte?
3567I have kept no memoranda of their names; and indeed, what advantage would there have been in doing so?
3567I immediately recognised the Duc de Berry,''How, Monseigneur, is it you?''
3567I know well there are societies where it is said,"Is this blood, then, so pure?"
3567I know what will be your answer; but are you not able to impose whatever conditions you may think fit?
3567I made some observations on the subject, and in particular asked whether there were sufficient proofs of his guilt to justify his condemnation?
3567I mentioned this to Bonaparte, and I immediately perceived by his hasty"What do you say?"
3567I remember that one of his chief arguments was this:"What is it that distinguishes men?
3567I replied,''do you imagine the nation will suffer a bastard to govern it?
3567I sacrificed my home, abandoned my property, and lost everything for the Republic?
3567I then asked him what he intended to do with the knife which had been found upon him?
3567I was about to depart when Fouché; called me back saying,"Why are you in such haste?
3567I was directed to answer,"The First Consul,"to the sentinel''s challenge of,"Who goes there?"
3567I will suppose myself again victorious; but what should I do in London with an army diminished three- fourths and without the hope of reinforcements?
3567I wished for the empire of the world, as who would not have done in my place?
3567I wished that he would deny the attempt; but how was it possible to save a man who was determined to sacrifice himself?
3567If I were to name you King of Spain would you accept the offer?
3567If he was not so implicated, where is the proof of his guilt?
3567If it admits it, what kind of predetermined result can that be which a simple resolution, a step, a word, may alter or modify ad infinitum?
3567If the infected were removed, why not mention it?
3567If, as Napoleon has declared, the young Bourbon was an accomplice in the crime, why was he not arrested at the time the others were?
3567Immediately after Napoleon''s examination of the young fanatic he sent for M. de Champagny:"How are the negotiations going on?"
3567In a few minutes Bonaparte entered, and taking up the pamphlet pretended to look through it:"Have you read this?"
3567In what a tone of sincerity did he say to me one day, when returning from the parade,"Bourrienne, do you hear the acclamations still resounding?
3567In what class am I placed?
3567Indeed, what said article 5 of this law?
3567Instead of giving an explanation of what he had said, he began to make fresh accusations; and against whom?
3567Is Fortune to be again brought forward here?
3567Is he ill?''
3567Is he not satisfied with being a King?''
3567Is he still here?"
3567Is he the author?"
3567Is history to be written from such documents?
3567Is it astonishing that this obscurity and vagueness should have banished all confidence on the part of the Plenipotentiaries of the Allied powers?
3567Is it believed that axioms in metaphysics, declarations of right, harangues from the tribune, will put a stop to the disbanding of an army?
3567Is it not betraying Europe to introduce Asiatic barbarities into her disputes?
3567Is it not criminal to bring foreign invasion upon a country?
3567Is it possible that you disown me?
3567Is it thus that you dare affront a Marshal of France who has bled for his country, and grown gray in victory?
3567Is it, I ask again, is it while the enemy is in France that you should have done this?
3567Is not Wright, who landed Georges and his accomplices at Dieppe, a captain in the British navy?
3567Is there treason here?
3567Is this the recompense you had in store for me?
3567It must, however, be respected, for it had its source in love of their country; but, while we excuse it, can it be justified?
3567It was impossible that the monarch could remain at the Capital, and yet, where was he to go?
3567It was not so with the Prussian Commissioner, to whom he said duly,"Are there any Prussians in my escort?"
3567It was speedily ascertained that the little advanced guard of the headquarters had not heard the"Qui vive?"
3567It was then asked how we could, without that consent, have attempted such an enterprise?
3567Let him sell his property and quit?
3567Madame Bonaparte informed me that she had heard persons to whom Bonaparte expressed a desire to recall me observe,"What would you do?
3567May I count on you?
3567Medicine was really the only political fraud to which Josephine had recourse; and in her situation what other woman would not have done as much?
3567Must Europe again be deluged with blood?
3567Napoleon broke out,"Yea, that he may end in the same manner as that of Alexander?
3567Napoleon said to the individual in question,''Well, does not the Prince regret leaving France?''
3567Napoleon would say,"why does she not ask me herself: is the girl afraid of me?"
3567Napoleon''s countenance was so altered that the Marshal, struck with the change, said, as if it were involuntarily,"Is your Majesty indisposed?"
3567Of these how many were for me?
3567On Sunday, the 9th of May, Lucien came to see Madame Bonaparte, who said to him,"Why did you not come to dinner last Monday?"
3567On coming into Napoleon''s presence he said,"What do you want, General?"
3567On reading that a slight sneer was observable in his countenance, and he said,"What are these idiots dreaming of?
3567On showing their warrant Fouché said,"What does this mean?
3567On this rock?
3567One day Napoleon said to Las Cases,"Your orthography is not correct, is it?"
3567One day, after a long pause, he said to me:"Do you know what I am thinking of?"
3567Ought I to have given it another King?
3567Ought the representatives to reduce the Government to the necessity of being unjust and impolitic?
3567Parbleu,"said Bonaparte,"that is Fouché?"
3567Salicetti, you know me; and I ask whether you have observed anything in my conduct for the last five years which can afford ground of suspicion?
3567She had asked him whether the tyrant was soon to pass that way?
3567She loved me truly-- she-- did she not?
3567She said to her father,"Would he too make me a prisoner before your eyes?
3567Should the prisoners be set at liberty?
3567Should they be embarked?
3567Should they be sent into Egypt?
3567Since the commencement of the Revolution, have I not always been attached to its principles?
3567Since you and I separated have you heard them repeated?"
3567Staps asked who Corvisart was?
3567Tell him so if you see him again, But is it not my duty to bestow as much in charity as I can?"
3567Tell me why you wish the Bourbons back?
3567The Emperor has treated you unjustly; and to whom has he not been unjust?
3567The Emperor put the following questions to Staps, which I translated, together with the answers:"''Where do you come from?''
3567The First Consul recollected him, and ordered him to be shown into his cabinet.--"What, are you here?"
3567The master could have his minister hanged with public applause, and the minister could hang-- whom?
3567The motives may be explained, but can they be justified?
3567The six battalions of the division of Nimes want clothes, equipment, and drilling, say you?
3567The treaty contained no stipulation dishonourable to Russia, whose territory was preserved inviolate; but how was Prussia treated?
3567Then how oppose all the Austrian forces that will march to the protection of Vienna?
3567Then, after a moment''s pause, he added, still addressing Macdonald,"Marshal, where shall I go?"
3567Then, suddenly changing the subject of conversation, he said,''Have you not lately observed something extraordinary in Murat?
3567There is no doubt of that, Sire; but because you are not liked in these two Courts, is it to be inferred that they would assassinate you?''
3567There is the Hotel de Noailles-- why do n''t you take it, and furnish it in proper style?"
3567They wish to be citizens-- why did they not know how to continue so?
3567This boasting might impose on those who did not see the real state of things; but what were we to think of it?
3567This he might have said; but if he did so express himself, how are we to reconcile such a declaration with the statement of O''Meara?
3567This is not what you will approve the most, but in my present situation what signifies it?
3567This plan was all very well, but how was it to be put into execution?
3567This resolution could have originated only with himself, for who would have dared to suggest it to him?
3567This was from zeal, but was not the First Consul right in saying that such zeal was unfortunate?
3567This was true; but how was it to be prevented?
3567Thus, when I am mistrustful of myself I ask, should I have been treated so at the Tuileries?
3567To England?
3567To such arguments what could have been answered?
3567To this he would not have failed to add,"Whose are the votes opposed to me?
3567Twice have 24,000,000 of French called me to the throne: which of you durst undertake such a burden?
3567Upon which the Consul angrily interrupted him, saying,"Do you think I am a mere capuchin?
3567Vexed at receiving no satisfactory answer to his inquiries he called Rapp, and said,"Do you know, Rapp, where Bourrienne is?"
3567Was I to abandon Holland to our enemies?
3567Was I to be received by my old comrade of Brienne, or by His Imperial Majesty?
3567Was Ney to be the one man to shoot down his old leader?
3567Was Ney to deliberately kill his old commander?
3567Was ever such an account of a dynasty given?
3567Was it too abrupt a transition from the habits of the twelve preceding years?
3567Was not the rapidity of the Emperor''s first operations a thing hitherto unprecedented?
3567Was not this opinion of Bonaparte, formed on the past, fully verified by the future?
3567Was there any other charge against him, or had calumny triumphed over the services he had rendered to his country?
3567Was this possible?
3567Was, then, the time for this innovation not yet arrived?
3567Well, whom do you think I mean to appoint in his place?
3567Were I to allow you to march out, what security can I have that you will not join them, and afterwards fight against me?
3567What are you about?
3567What can France do against you?
3567What can he want?
3567What can she want more?
3567What could I do, Collot?
3567What could I do?
3567What could I do?
3567What could I say to them?
3567What could I say, what could I do?
3567What could be more iniquitous than to attack me without a declaration of war?
3567What could he achieve against the English in Portugal?
3567What did Bernadotte do?
3567What did I do?
3567What do people say of that buffoon, Bonaparte?"
3567What do these people owe me?
3567What do you mean?
3567What do you mean?"
3567What do you think I did at the Temple?
3567What do you think is the point his negotiations put most forward?
3567What do you think of that, Bourrienne?"
3567What do you want me to do with them?"
3567What does all this flight of imagination mean?
3567What does he desire of me?"
3567What does it contain?
3567What happened?
3567What has been the result of the first war?
3567What in the world can be more ridiculous than commercial laws carried out to one''s own detriment?
3567What is a Christian dog to a Turk?
3567What is nature?
3567What is said about it in Paris?"
3567What is said on the subject?"
3567What is the result at present?
3567What is the result of it?
3567What mean the prayers and mysterious fasts you have ordered?
3567What means were not employed to mislead the opinion of the public respecting Moreau?
3567What might happen in the event of a battle before St. Jean d''Acre?
3567What more could we do in Syria but lose men and time, neither of which the General had to spare?
3567What now remains of Austerlitz?
3567What resistance could it have opposed to the man destined to change the face of all Europe?
3567What respect, indeed, could Bonaparte entertain for the applicants to the treasury of the opera?
3567What right had he to call him"General"Bonaparte?
3567What shall I gain by it?
3567What should he have cared for the column which we beheld on our arrival in Alexandria had it not been Pompey''s pillar?
3567What sort of a history would he write who should consult only the pages of the''Moniteur''?
3567What sovereign can, without injuring himself, persecute me?
3567What the devil am I to do, then?"
3567What then are the feelings of your army?"
3567What then remained for me to do?
3567What think you I ought to do?
3567What think you?"
3567What think you?"
3567What trade could possibly exist under the Continental system, and the ruinous severity of the customs?
3567What was Bonaparte''s conduct?
3567What was the consequence?
3567What was the course pursued by Napoleon when, being at war with Russia, he wished to detach Sweden from her alliance with Alexander?
3567What was the result of that memorable expedition?
3567What was to be done?
3567What will be the result of your conduct?
3567What will become of poor France?
3567What will become of us when you are gone?
3567What would be said of so sudden a reconciliation?
3567What would happen if the importation of these goods were absolutely prohibited in Hamburg?
3567What would have become of me had I been in Verona on the Monday?
3567What would have ensued?
3567What would he do with me?
3567What would she have done?"
3567What would that language have been?
3567What''s the meaning of this, madame?
3567What, after all, was this new oath?
3567What, in fact, was the Emperor Alexander''s situation with respect to France?
3567What, in fact, was the population of these remnants of the grand Hanseatic League of the Middle Ages?
3567What, therefore, do you expect me to do?
3567What, under such circumstances, could have been expected even from a man gifted with great talents?
3567What, who are you?
3567When Bonaparte returned to his cabinet he said to Rapp,"Tell me, Rapp, why you left these doors open, and stopped with Bourrienne?"
3567When I had examined it I said,"General, it has been due for a long time; why have you not got it paid?
3567When I returned to the tent of the General- in- Chief he asked,"How is Caffarelli?"
3567When I saluted the General, whom I had not seen for twelve days, he thus addressed me:"So you are here, are you?
3567When I spoke in confidence to your brother, could I regard him as an inquisitor?"
3567When do you think of setting out?"
3567When he looked at them he said,"Here is money-- what is the meaning of this?"
3567When shall we pay a visit to London with those brave fellows?"
3567When the day''s work was done,"Let us see,"said Talleyrand;"what did Monsieur say?
3567When we were alone the General said to me,"Well, what do you think of that?"
3567Where did you get these pearls?
3567Where had they disembarked, who had received them; what had been done with them?
3567Where is he?"
3567Where was your support-- your strength?
3567Where were the ships?--Where could they be found?
3567Where, then, would have been her navy, her trade and even her existence?
3567While negligently rolling his balls about he muttered these words:''Do you ever see Bourrienne now?''
3567Who but a thorough Republican, the stanch friend of equality, would have done this?
3567Who can assure us that that General had been able to communicate with the Marshal?
3567Who could grant them?
3567Who could have suggested to him such an act as this?"
3567Who could help being intoxicated by so much enthusiasm?
3567Who has not made a pilgrimage to Vincennes and dropped a tear where the victim fell?
3567Who urged you to this crime?''
3567Who would believe it?
3567Who would not suppose from this phrase that Napoleon had taken no part whatever in the great financial operation between Spain and South America?
3567Who would suppose it?
3567Who, in Heaven''s name, has not already inhabited this palace?
3567Who, indeed, could be so blind as not to see that the ruin of the Continent would be the triumph of British commerce?
3567Why allow her to have all the advantages of the first step?
3567Why are you vexed at such trifles?
3567Why be silent on so important an event?
3567Why did he get Talleyrand to ask me for a passport?
3567Why did he not apply for a passport as every one else does?
3567Why did the cannon- balls spare me only to die in this deplorable manner?
3567Why did they wink at the accumulation in the Tuileries of the contributions and exactions levied in, conquered countries?
3567Why did you go and get into debt with that-----?
3567Why did you not make your complaints in private to me?
3567Why do you remain Minister of the Police if you wish to betray me?
3567Why do you return with the First Consul?
3567Why does he make himself a Neapolitan?
3567Why is he not a Frenchman?
3567Why not anticipate her?
3567Why should I have dreaded it?
3567Why should not France, if it ceases to be free, prefer the race of her ancient kings?
3567Why should she wish to place herself immediately within the reach of my tyranny?
3567Why should the Russians have the right of opposing destiny and thwarting our just designs?
3567Why the devil, then, do you come to me for advice?
3567Why then fight for a few paltry villages?
3567Why then should it be put upon record?
3567Why this silence?
3567Why, in the devil''s name, have they served me thus?"
3567Will you breakfast with me tomorrow morning?''
3567Will you send, for this purpose, your power of attorney to Baciocchi, or to whomsoever you think fit?
3567With eyes burning with rage, he exclaimed in an excited voice,"Why have my orders not been executed?"
3567With this conviction, would he have left the head apothecary in that town?
3567Would it be believed?
3567Would so long an interval have been suffered to elapse before he was arrested?
3567Would they wish to proclaim in the face of the world that all they did was through fear?
3567Would you believe it,"pursued Rapp,"that neither Murat nor Berthier said a word in reply?
3567Would you believe it?
3567Would you have dared to fire on me?''
3567Would you imagine it?
3567Yet that is the way your grandfather defended Louis XVI..... As to the confiscation you speak of, what does that prove?
3567Yet what was this liberty?
3567You are a brave fellow-- I saw you at Aboukir-- how is your old father?
3567You deceive me at St. Helena?
3567You expect the Russians?
3567You have never given credit to the horrid accusation?"
3567You make remonstrances; is this a time, when the stranger invades our provinces, and 200,000 Cossacks are ready to overflow our country?
3567You see to what a string of absurdities that will lead?"
3567You talk of the future; but what will be the future fate of France?
3567Your Majesty may convince yourself of it; would you without need expose the lives of so many men?"
3567and then Napoleon much affected drew close to M. Horan, and added,"You say that she was in grief; from what did that arise?"
3567are you not angry when at length the truth reaches your ear?"
3567are you satisfied?"
3567but why?
3567carried off?
3567continued Rapp,"what could I do?
3567could he, as he asked, stop the sea with his hands?
3567did he really say so?"
3567did you venture so far?"
3567do you not see that the Druses only wait for the fall of Acre to rise in rebellion?
3567etc.,"he said to me,"By the by, have you attended the proceedings against Moreau?"
3567exclaimed he,"does Chateaubriand think I am a fool, and that I do not know what he means?
3567has calumny such powerful charms that, once they are submitted to, their yoke can not be broken?
3567have I nothing but my cloak and my sword now?''"
3567have you not got the Cross?
3567he added,''have I accustomed them to such great victories that they knew not how to bear one day''s misfortune?
3567he continued,''am I ambitious then?''
3567he exclaimed,"what is your opinion?
3567he said,"Why was I not there to take my chance?
3567how could you send me such reports as these?
3567how many children they had, and who their husbands were?
3567how?"
3567is it not good?"
3567is not now sitting opposite to you?
3567is that all?
3567nothing-- all authority is in the Throne; and what is the Throne?
3567repeated Napoleon hastily,"and what is that something else?"
3567said Bonaparte,"it is Chateaubriand''s book, is it?
3567said the soldier,"why does he come with his diplomacy to such a devil of a country as this?"
3567she used to speak of me then?"
3567then a crime is nothing to you?''
3567to wish to hear that preface?
3567was any general ever expected to undergo such a test?
3567was it not in your power to let them escape?"
3567were they not to blame in throwing stones at the guard, forcing the palisades, and even refusing to listen to the voice of the magistrates?
3567what are you about?"
3567what course they had sailed?
3567what have we here?
3567what is your opinion of it?"
3567what ships they had met?
3567what was their destination?
3567what will become of us?"
3567what will become of us?"
3567who could then have foreseen that the duchy of Cambacérès would become the refuge of a Princess of Austria, the widowed wife of Napoleon Bonaparte?
3567would you believe it?
3567would you go with him?"
