27488 | How could you think,was the proud comment of Dumouriez,"that they have forgotten the Argonne?" |
27488 | To kill him? |
27488 | What? |
27488 | what is it you want? |
27488 | And he said it in a way that signified"Then why did you not defend him?" |
27488 | But what could they effect at Versailles against the master of so many legions? |
27488 | Do n''t you see he has got white stockings on?" |
27488 | He said to her,"What are your Majesty''s intentions?" |
27488 | He said,"Why did you desert the Committee? |
27488 | If the victims of Carrier were innocent, what was Carrier himself? |
27488 | If, he said, the able- bodied men become soldiers and are sent to guard the frontier, who is to protect us from traitors at home? |
27488 | Is not this superior authority binding upon the courts of justice? |
27488 | It is Danton you would avenge?" |
27488 | The queen was opposed to them, for she said:"What can the king do, away from Paris, without insight, or spirit, or ascendancy? |
27488 | What can you find that is not to be found in solid substance in this''Vindication of the House of Representatives''?" |
27488 | When he remonstrated with his brother for getting drunk, the other replied,"Why grudge me the only vice you have not appropriated?" |
27488 | When the passage was read declaring that there could be no peace with an invader, a voice cried,"Have you made a contract with victory?" |
27488 | When the question"Guilty or not guilty?" |
27488 | Where 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? |
27488 | Who are a free people? |
27488 | Why did you make your views known in public without informing us?" |
27488 | he replied;"I am to kill Robespierre and Billaud?" |
22718 | And do you think it can be true,the traveller asked,"that Bishops held mysterious prisoners in that tower for most dreary lengths of time?" |
22718 | And what do you see? |
22718 | To Senez? |
22718 | What is it? |
22718 | Why,asks a mediæval text- book of science,"is the sun so red in the evening?" |
22718 | You ask me? |
22718 | And a hotel? |
22718 | And yet, in spite of some native peculiarities of structure, why should not the general idea have been imported? |
22718 | Are they greater than those of the North? |
22718 | Are they inferior to them? |
22718 | But who can tell when people talk so much? |
22718 | By what simple, superficial sign can this architecture be recognised by those who are to see it for the first time? |
22718 | Could one desire more on this earth?" |
22718 | Ho- là, thou whited sepulchre, thinkest thou I will get out and carry thee? |
22718 | If conceivable in the Oriental mind, why not in that of the West? |
22718 | Was he stepping where once had been a grand and busy Forum, was he looking at the Temple of some great Roman god? |
22718 | What would you have me do? |
22718 | Where should he find another thirty sous for his poor? |
22718 | Who can give a dead date, much less a living fact, concerning the life of that Gervais who conceived the great Gothic height of Narbonne? |
22718 | Who shall decide? |
22718 | You too, Monsieur, are coming perhaps? |
17894 | _ Can any thing in the World be a greater Commendation of a Work of this Nature, than to say it contains only pure Matter of Fact? 17894 And why? 17894 Are the_ Queen''s_ Subjects more burden''d to maintain the publick_ Liberty_, than the_ French_ King''s are to confirm their own_ Slavery_? 17894 Is it not apparent how great and manifest a Distinction they made between the King and the Kingdom? 17894 May not the Tables of Persecution be turn''d upon us? 17894 What need we say more? 17894 What should hinder us from an Act of_ General Naturalization_? 17894 Whether a_ French_ Civilian be debarr''d telling of Truth( when that Truth exposes Tyranny) more than a Civilian of any other Nation? 17894 Why shou''d we not make use of his Body, Estate, and Understanding, for the publick Good? 17894 Why, I pray you, may we not all be Fellow- Citizens of the World? 17894 who may''st justly challenge a Superiority in Sufferings, above all the Nations of the Earth, that have been vexed with this Plague? |

16994 | 2: monnments[ monuments?] |
16994 | 3: Typo: hundry[ hungry?] |
16994 | After a little pause, and a significant sneer,--Pray Sir,( said he) and do you not change your napkins also? |
16994 | After dinner the Baron did me the honour to consult with me_ how_ he should get down to_ Lyons_? |
16994 | Do 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_? |
16994 | For what should I cross the streight which divides us, though it were but_ half_ seven leagues? |
16994 | His_ 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? |
16994 | I asked the maid what she was about, and what it was she was so preparing? |
16994 | If 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? |
16994 | May he not equally suppose that I said_ the sun is in our eye_? |
16994 | No: she did not: But did you ever see me before, or any body like me? |
16994 | Shall I attempt to unfold this writer''s meaning? |
16994 | This seems to have been the author''s thought, if he thought_ chastely_.--Shall I try again? |
16994 | Though 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? |
16994 | Vous croyez peut- être trouver un premier étage au dessus de la façade do nt je vous ai parlé? |
16994 | When 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? |
16994 | Why then is the_ plume elevated to the head_? |
16994 | and what must the present mode of female education and manners end in, but in more ignorance, dissipation, debauchery and luxury? |
16994 | did I say? |
16994 | how seldom do we hear a Frenchman speak English without betraying his country by his pronunciation? |
1346 | And by what occasion? |
1346 | But had not the party of Order on May 31, 1850, had it not on June 13, 1849, subordinated the Constitution to the parliamentary majority? |
1346 | Changarnier 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? |
1346 | From what quarter did it then, look to for the solution of all the existing perplexities? |
1346 | Had not the constitution been repeatedly violated, according to the assurances of the democrats themselves? |
1346 | Had not the most popular papers branded them as a counter- revolutionary artifice? |
1346 | Had 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? |
1346 | Had they not themselves constantly made an unconstitutional use of their parliamentary prerogative, notably by the abolition of universal suffrage? |
1346 | If, from above, they hear the fiddle screeching, what else is to be expected than that those below should dance? |
1346 | On account of his conspiracy at the military reviews and of the"Society of December 10"? |
1346 | On account of his restoration hankerings? |
1346 | Should not the military, finally, in and for its own interest, play the game of"state of siege,"and simultaneously besiege the bourgeois exchanges? |
1346 | Should the party of Order place Bonaparte himself under charges? |
1346 | The parliamentary regime lives on discussion,--how can it forbid discussion? |
1346 | Was Proudhon wholly wrong when he cried out to these gentlemen:"Vous n''etes que des blaqueurs"? |
1346 | What is this unfavorable result to be ascribed to? |
1346 | Who has jurisdiction over the appointment and dismissal of a Police Commissioner? |
1346 | Why did not the Parisian proletariat rise after the 2d of December? |
11531 | And do you bestow all this happiness upon them without being rewarded even by a kiss? |
11531 | And what are you about to do with it? |
11531 | And what may be the precious document, Monsieur le Ministre,she demanded flippantly,"of which you find it so impossible to relax your hold?" |
11531 | And what was that? |
11531 | And what would you say,asked Henry with ill- concealed anxiety,"were I to tell you that such an one exists in my own kingdom?" |
11531 | Can you deny one assertion which I have made? |
11531 | Have you already been baptized? |
11531 | Say, Sire? |
11531 | Why should you be surprised, Monsieur? |
11531 | And will you persist in denying that you have deceived him in the most unblushing manner? |
11531 | Have you any legitimate subject of complaint which you conceive to warrant your failure of respect towards their Majesties?" |
11531 | Have you caused him to be arrested?" |
11531 | How was it possible for love to nestle between a mouth and chin which are always interfering with each other?" |
11531 | If you love as I do, can you hesitate to comply with their desire? |
11531 | Is he not old enough to go alone? |
11531 | The Dauphin having been placed upon the table, the Cardinal approached him and demanded:"Sir, what do you ask?" |
11531 | Upon whom should he confer such favours as these, if not upon the Princes of the Blood, his cousins, his relatives, and his mistresses?" |
11531 | What 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(?) |
11531 | and can he not be affianced without my presence? |
11531 | enthusiastically exclaims Brantôme, her friend and correspondent;"what did he expect to do? |
11531 | said the King still more angrily;"you think that he is at your hôtel, and you have not had him seized? |
2311 | Have you fed the Hogs, Sir Knight? |
2311 | How( cried he) cut my hair? 2311 You do not like the apartments? |
2311 | But how were those victories obtained? |
2311 | He asked in his turn if I was mad? |
2311 | He asked whence we had come; and understanding we had been in Italy, desired to know whether the man liked France or Italy best? |
2311 | How many high- sounding works on the other hand, are already worse than dead, or, should we say, better dead? |
2311 | How then must they support the glory of France? |
2311 | Leave off; the Bath Bell rings-- what, still play on? |
2311 | The celebrated reformer of the Italian comedy introduces a child befouling itself, on the stage, OE, NO TI SENTI? |
2311 | The one costs three half- pence; the last, half a farthing-- which of them is most effectual? |
2311 | Then, addressing himself to me, asked, if the English did not every day drink to the health of madame la marquise? |
2311 | They accosted my servant, and asked if his master was a lord? |
2311 | What are the consequences of this cruel swaddling? |
2311 | What glory is there in a man''s vanquishing an adversary over whom he has a manifest advantage? |
2311 | What is the consequence? |
2311 | What then, you will say, must a man sit with his chops and fingers up to the ears and knuckles in grease? |
2311 | Why not a lynch pin, which we were so carefully instructed how to inquire about in Murray''s Conversation for Travellers? |
2311 | Why, therefore, do n''t we follow it implicitly? |
2311 | You ask me why I submitted to such imposition? |
2311 | or that the ships of the line taken from the enemy would be carried in procession from Hyde- Park- Corner to Tower- wharf? |
2311 | what do I see? |
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?'' |
31517 | Have 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? |
31517 | He said,"Can you believe any man would bring such intelligence unless it were well- founded?" |
31517 | He took my hand, and said calmly and firmly,"My dear madam, why fancy evil? |
31517 | How was this to be done, without fire- irons, or indeed without fire? |
31517 | I asked,"How long?" |
31517 | I called out,"Mr Hay, do you know anything?" |
31517 | I do not!--which sister?'' |
31517 | I said,"Days or hours?" |
31517 | I said,"Is he alive?" |
31517 | I see by the despatch, giving an account of the late victory, that he was badly wounded-- how is he now? |
31517 | Is he dead?" |
31517 | Lady Hamilton said,"Did you hear from him?" |
31517 | She then asked what I intended to do if the fighting continued, and if I should go to England? |
31517 | Tell me, is he killed?" |
31517 | What is good news for me now?" |
31517 | When 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?" |
13048 | Ah? 13048 American?" |
13048 | Do I not look well dressed, Mademoiselle? |
13048 | Eh, what? |
13048 | Have n''t you heard the news? |
13048 | How do you expect me to earn my living if I have to go out of my way and wait a century outside a store? |
13048 | Is it possible? 13048 Is it really so? |
13048 | Where to? |
13048 | You 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? |
13048 | And I asked Sainte Claire,''May I not go to the well and bring up a bottle of wine?'' |
13048 | And for nothing? |
13048 | And the bridegroom-- who is he?" |
13048 | And, Madame, what do you think? |
13048 | C''est vrai? |
13048 | Can they hang it themselves? |
13048 | Clothing? |
13048 | Company? |
13048 | Did you ever know an American to fail to make it worth your while?" |
13048 | Food? |
13048 | Is the town asleep? |
13048 | LITTLE GRAINS OF SAND Shall I tell you about the old woman and her statue of Sainte Claire? |
13048 | Or the one room left in that tiny house, shattered and bare, yet stamped indelibly with the character of its valiant occupants? |
13048 | What are these pulsations that beat this day upon our soul?" |
13048 | What good is he in a strange province where they eat such ridiculous things, and where everyone has the craze for machinery? |
13048 | What news?" |
13048 | What ripples from the seething capitals will stir the placid thoughts of your stouthearted peasants? |
13048 | What secret of yielding and resisting was hers? |
13048 | Would you like to see my''_ tiote[1] Sainte Claire_?" |
13048 | est- ce possible?_ What happiness for that good girl!" |
19421 | And if so what should be his punishment? |
19421 | Because 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? |
19421 | But by virtue of what theory of government were the poor entitled to this special protection? |
19421 | Could the extinction of the feudal rights hold over such territory as German princes held within the borders of France? |
19421 | Friendless, what could Louis do now? |
19421 | How far would it go? |
19421 | How was the evil to be dealt with? |
19421 | Last of all, what of the labours of the professed historian of to- day? |
19421 | Qu''entend- il par ce vers contre- révolutionaire_:_ N''est- on jamais tyran qu''avec un diadème_? |
19421 | Quelle sera la proie Que la hache appelle aujourd''hui? |
19421 | Serions nous donc arrivés à ce point que de nous prosterner devant de telles divinités? |
19421 | Should there not be equality of rights and no invidious distinctions? |
19421 | Since Taine''s great book, the influence of which is, in this year 1909, only just beginning to fade, what have we had? |
19421 | Son âme a- t- elle jamais pu sentir la liberté{ 275} pour la bien rendre? |
19421 | Voulez vous que je la reconnaisse, que je tombe à ses pieds, que je verse tout mon sang pour elle? |
19421 | Was Louis guilty? |
19421 | Was the Jacobin party prepared to advance towards a socialist or collectivist form of government? |
19421 | Was the distinction between the three orders{ 54} to be maintained? |
19421 | What about the price of food? |
19421 | What could Louis do? |
19421 | Why should not even women have a vote? |
19421 | Why should not the poor man have a vote? |
19421 | or were the deputies of all to meet in one assembly and have equal votes? |
19421 | the monopoly of capital? |
19421 | the private ownership of property? |
19421 | was the noble or priest a person of social and political privilege? |
36209 | The Germans could easily have put a speedy end to the matter, but what Government could allow its rights to be vindicated by foreign bayonets? |
21256 | And is it thus,said I,"that you receive all strangers indiscriminately?" |
21256 | Are they never wearied? |
21256 | In what manner,said I,"do the French poor live?" |
21256 | Is it possible,said I,"that there can be any gentleness in that creature?" |
21256 | Where does Mademoiselle sleep? |
21256 | Where is the masque? |
21256 | Who are these ladies? |
21256 | Who is it,demanded I,"that plays so well?" |
21256 | A suggestion immediately arises in his mind-- how much might this land be made to produce under a more intelligent cultivation? |
21256 | But who would feel any disposition to pilfer the wig of Sir Cloudesley Shovel, or the hat of General Monk, in Westminster Abbey? |
21256 | Can your peasantry say the same? |
21256 | For example, what could be so absurd as the natural realization of some of these capricious ornaments? |
21256 | How 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? |
21256 | I demanded of this veteran, pointing to the flotilla, when the Emperor intended to invade England? |
21256 | Indeed, why should we? |
21256 | Is not the religion of our ancestors legible in the very ornaments of their house? |
21256 | Is there any one oppressed with grief for the loss of friends, or what is still more poignantly felt, for their ingratitude and unkindness? |
21256 | Now, why may not the same use be made of architecture? |
21256 | Or 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? |
21256 | What artificial beauty can equal that of a corn- field? |
21256 | What lady would chose to sleep in a bed, up the pillars of which serpents were crawling? |
21256 | What would not English taste have effected with the capabilities of Rambouillet? |
21256 | When he reached General Armstrong, he asked him, whether America could not live, without foreign commerce as well as France? |
21256 | Whence does this happen, in a country where provisions are so much cheaper? |
21256 | Where is it that I have read, that a Frenchman has no idea of gardening? |
21256 | Who will now say that the French are not characteristically a good- humoured people, and that a lovely French girl is not an angel? |
21256 | Why is a nation converted into a puppet- show? |
21256 | Why might not Marmontel have lived in such a cottage? |
21256 | Why, therefore, is not this disgraceful practice thrown aside? |
20733 | An immense revolution had been effected, but by what force were its fruits to be guarded? |
20733 | And what could be more puerile than the fanciful connection of the Supreme Being with a pastoral simplicity of life? |
20733 | And, in any case, how could he resist the Committee? |
20733 | Are you going to convert the new barbarians of our western world with this fair word of emptiness? |
20733 | But then what qualities had Robespierre for building up a state? |
20733 | Can the social union subsist without a belief in God? |
20733 | Could such a people as this, he cries, ever have made a revolution or become free? |
20733 | Danton said to him one day:--''What do I care? |
20733 | How came Robespierre to assent in March to a violence which he had angrily discountenanced in February? |
20733 | How could a society whose spiritual life had been nourished in the solemn mysticism of the Middle Ages, suddenly turn to embrace a gaudy paganism? |
20733 | How could such men, he asked, have achieved such results, if they had not been instruments of the directing will of heaven? |
20733 | How should the puritanical lawyer endure such cynicism as this? |
20733 | If Robespierre was able to save Théot, why could he not save Cécile Renault? |
20733 | If the Dantonists joined in destroying Robespierre, they would be helping the Right, and what security had they against a Girondin reaction? |
20733 | Immense material improvements had been made, but who was to guard them against all these powerful and exasperated bands? |
20733 | Now what was Robespierre''s motive in devising this infernal instrument? |
20733 | Was Robespierre not to feel insults offered to the ablest and most devoted of his lieutenants? |
20733 | Were the negro slaves to be admitted to citizenship, or was a legislature of planters to be entrusted with the task of social reformation? |
20733 | What produced this sudden tack? |
20733 | What security was possible under the Law of Prairial? |
20733 | What, then, was the policy that inspired the Law of Prairial? |
20733 | Why shall we not prize the general results of the Reformation, without being obliged to defend John of Leyden and the Munster Anabaptists? |
20733 | Why should it have been any more successful four months earlier? |
20733 | Why was it the only one? |
26450 | Are you then recalled to Poland? |
26450 | Art thou the admiral? |
26450 | Do you pardon your enemies? |
26450 | Good people of Paris,said the Constable on his arrival at their camp,"what meaneth this? |
26450 | Good people,protested Marcel,"why would you do me ill? |
26450 | Is it your will? |
26450 | My cure? 26450 What do they take from me?" |
26450 | What do you ask? |
26450 | Who are you? |
26450 | And 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? |
26450 | As the duke hastened to spoil his victims, crying out--"Where is the archbishop?" |
26450 | As we crossed the courtyard of the palace( in the Cité) he said:''Seest thou not what I perceive above this roof?'' |
26450 | At length he turned and said:"Know ye my faithful servants, wherefore I weep thus bitterly? |
26450 | Do they turn to the right? |
26450 | Does power descend from God, its primeval source; or does it ascend, delegated from the people? |
26450 | He asked again,''Seest thou naught else?'' |
26450 | My life? |
26450 | See you yon lights? |
26450 | Soldiers of Italy, will you lack courage?" |
26450 | Turning to the angels, Jesus said:"Know ye who hath thus arrayed Me? |
26450 | We pass to Room IV., dominated by the most eminent sculptor of the French renaissance, Jean Goujon(? |
26450 | When he entered Abbeville with the magnificent Duke of Burgundy, the people said"_ Benedicite!_ is that a king of France? |
26450 | Where is the ancient prowess of France? |
26450 | by the works of Michel Colombe(? |
26450 | cried the latter,"what dost thou here at this hour?" |
26450 | must I suffer new trouble every day?" |
26450 | shall I never be in peace? |
22865 | ''What would society be without this inequality of conditions? |
22865 | And if so, to what elements in the forms of Christian teaching and practice is this due? |
22865 | And whence comes your comet? |
22865 | And, 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? |
22865 | By the latter device, are we not assured against malversation of the funds? |
22865 | Can you suppose that gravitation could cause the same body to describe a spiral and an ellipse? |
22865 | Finally, how could the planets have left the body of the sun without falling back into it again? |
22865 | For instance, has one effect of Christianity been to exalt a regard for the Sympathetic over the Æsthetic side of action and character? |
22865 | How many persons of understanding have we taken for fools? |
22865 | How trace the road, now overgrown and half- hidden, along which the race has travelled? |
22865 | How was it that the people did not recognise the hand of a benefactor? |
22865 | How, he inquires, can we seize the thread of the progress of the human mind? |
22865 | If men earned money by labour and the use of their time, why not require from them time and labour instead of money? |
22865 | If not, how could it fall from the sphere of the other bodies, and fall on the sun, which was not acting on it? |
22865 | People take great trouble to tell a child that he must be just, temperate, and virtuous; and has it the least idea of virtue? |
22865 | This much on the intellectual side; but how can we describe the moral transformation which the new faith brought to pass? |
22865 | Was it within the sphere of the sun''s attraction? |
22865 | What curve did they describe in leaving it, so as never to return? |
22865 | What happens? |
22865 | What other principle could have fought and vanquished both interests and prejudice united? |
22865 | What were the effects of the appearance of Christ, and the revelation of the gospel? |
22865 | What would the people live upon, who dwell in lands that produce no wheat? |
22865 | Who would transport the productions of one country to another country? |
22865 | Why should not others have the same privilege as ourselves?... |
22865 | Why, he asks, do you replunge us into the night of hypotheses, justifying the Cartesians and their three elements and their vortices? |
22865 | a perpetual balance between oppression on the one side, and revolt on the other? |
28053 | Amid so many discouragements, is it conceivable that these powers will brave the consequences of an enterprise so full of despair? |
28053 | And is not this determination a most propitious pledge of the stability and success of the present revolution? |
28053 | And what power in Europe can complain? |
28053 | Are we willing to teach the nations of the earth to despair, and resign themselves at once to the power that crushes them? |
28053 | Can Austria or Prussia complain of it, as breaking the line of legitimate succession, while acknowledging Michael on the throne of Portugal? |
28053 | Can England? |
28053 | Is there any danger of such a relapse? |
28053 | Is there any reason to believe that such an attempt will succeed? |
28053 | Is this probable? |
28053 | Must they not see, on the contrary, that it would be utterly hopeless? |
28053 | On the first arrival of the intelligence, we involuntarily asked ourselves,"Can this be a reality?" |
28053 | Or can Russia, while not only acknowledging Michael, but having her own throne at this moment filled with the younger brother of the family? |
28053 | Or if she should, will Austria and Prussia, notwithstanding their alleged servility to her views, follow her in such an enterprise? |
28053 | To what other nation can we look to do it? |
28053 | What was that situation? |
28053 | Who can hesitate between these two alternatives? |
28053 | Whom have they to quarrel with? |
28053 | Will it be sympathy for the fallen house of Bourbon? |
28053 | Will the present Emperor of Russia support with his arms the violation of the charter thus sanctioned by his august brother? |
28053 | With what decency, then, could Russia interfere? |
35215 | Could the streets have been cleared while the ferment was rising? |
35215 | For what is"working,"_ i.e._ successful action, in any sphere? |
35215 | If it came to action, what physical forces were opposed? |
35215 | Much more, how did such a blunder escape the damnation of universal mockery and immediate impotence? |
35215 | Of what nature was that quarrel? |
35215 | What are those ends in a State? |
35215 | What of the physical power behind the King? |
35215 | What were they then, and why has the error that Robespierre was then master, arisen? |
35215 | Where, then, does the legend differ from the truth? |
35215 | Why did he dominate those five years, and how was it that he dominated them increasingly? |
35215 | Why, then, was Robespierre popularly identified with the Terror, and why, when he was executed, did the Terror cease? |
35215 | Why, when he fell, did the Terror cease if he were not its author? |
3840 | Between father and son what contrast could be greater? |
3840 | How should he meet him?--by war or by negotiation? |
2645 | And were the games to be concluded by a massacre? |
2645 | And why not? |
2645 | Are not these remarkable incidents? |
2645 | But why continue this argument, which you have read in the newspapers for many months past? |
2645 | But, would his ashes find a shelter sufficiently vast beneath this pedestal? |
2645 | Did the French nation, or did they not, intend to offer up some of us English over the imperial grave? |
2645 | Did you ever see a chicken escape from clown in a pantomime, and hop over into the pit, or amongst the fiddlers? |
2645 | Do you take the allegory? |
2645 | Had Lord Granville written? |
2645 | He 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? |
2645 | In this case what was Mary Magdalen to do? |
2645 | Is it possible? |

2645 | My dear Monseigneur, is not this par trop fort? |
2645 | Or had he written to all EXCEPT ME? |
2645 | See, now, fifty years are gone, and where are shoebuckles? |
2645 | Should we be any better than our neighbors? |
2645 | Suppose"the foreigner"had wanted the coffin, could he not have kept it? |
2645 | The people estranged, the aristocracy faithless( when did they ever pardon one who was not of themselves?) |
2645 | We 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? |
2645 | What was Ney''s paternal coat, prithee, or honest Junot''s quarterings, or the venerable escutcheon of King Joachim''s father, the innkeeper? |
2645 | Where''s Ney? |
2645 | Who is God here but Napoleon? |
2645 | Why did n''t they move? |
2645 | Why show this uncalled- for valor, this extraordinary alacrity at sinking? |
2645 | Why? |
2645 | Would you have anything further? |
2645 | and have you not seen the shrieks of enthusiastic laughter that the wondrous incident occasions? |
2645 | and why did the Prince de Joinville lug out sword and pistol so early? |
2645 | can the Emperor forget? |
2645 | or why, if he thought fit to make preparations, should the official journals brag of them afterwards as proofs of his extraordinary courage? |
28934 | Has he ever said he will put himself to death? |
28934 | Have you any property there? |
28934 | If that is the case,I said,"why not ask an asylum in England?" |
28934 | Is it possible? |
28934 | Is your elder brother a Lord? |
28934 | Lord Keith is a little too severe; is he not, Madam? |
28934 | What like was he-- was he really a man? 28934 What, Las Cases, are you a military man? |
28934 | Who is that young lady? |
28934 | And addressing himself to her,"Milord Keith est un peu trop sevère; n''est- ce pas, Madame?" |
28934 | But what return did England make for so much magnanimity? |
28934 | Certainly I made no conditions; how could an individual enter into terms with a nation? |
28934 | Could I possibly get them a sight of the monster, just that they might be able to say they had seen him?" |
28934 | During the above- mentioned conversation, I asked Las Cases where Buonaparte then was? |
28934 | He 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?" |
28934 | He then looked at a portrait that was hanging up, and said,"Qui est cette jeune personne?" |
28934 | He then said,"How do you feel as to keeping him? |
28934 | I asked her, how she could be so indiscreet as to attempt to destroy herself? |
28934 | I then asked him how he came by his intelligence? |
28934 | I was sitting this evening next Montholon, when Madame Bertrand entered; I said to her,"Will you not sit down and take something?" |
28934 | Now, reader, do you think this would have been a pardonable theft? |
28934 | On going into his cabin, he said,"Bertrand informs me you have received orders to remove me to the Northumberland; is it so?" |
28934 | Quelle plus éclatante preuve pouvait- il lui donner de son estime et de sa confiance? |
28934 | The French officers were very indignant at such rude proceedings, saying,"Is this your English liberty? |
28934 | The first lieutenant came up the side, and to Maitland''s eager and blunt question,"Have you got him?" |
28934 | Was his voice like thunder? |
28934 | Was it true that he had killed three horses in riding from Waterloo to the Bellerophon? |
28934 | Were his hands and clothes all over blood when he came on board? |
28934 | Were we not all frightened for him? |
28934 | What more brilliant proof could he give of his esteem and his confidence? |
28934 | got whom?" |
28934 | would you like to part with him?" |
3839 | Well,said she,"M. de Seurre, what do you think of all this?" |
3839 | And who knows but they might seek their revenge upon me by taking away your life? |
3839 | Do n''t you think I am as great a rogue as that Simier?" |
3839 | Do you not perceive how dangerous his going will prove to my kingdom? |
3839 | Will you oblige me so far as to rise and go to Fosseuse, who is taken very ill? |
3839 | cried I,"has my brother no one else to send a message by?" |
30981 | Absinthe? |
30981 | Ai n''t she a peach? |
30981 | But where is Paul? |
30981 | Does monsieur think I am not a very busy man? |
30981 | How did you get her to take the job? |
30981 | To eat? |
30981 | Voulez- vous des fleurs, messieurs et mesdames? |
30981 | What atelier? |
30981 | What wrecked him? |
30981 | What''s the matter? |
30981 | What, you do n''t want it? 30981 Who wrote the notes?" |
30981 | Yes,he mused, peering at the stage with his keen gray eyes;"green stock, but a swell act, eh? |
30981 | And may I ask your holiness to be patient a day longer while I put in your boots?" |
30981 | And now, do you know what he does? |
30981 | Did you see Fabien''s studio the other day when I posed for him? |
30981 | Has she been in the cages long?" |
30981 | He looks older than I do, does he not?" |
30981 | In Paris I make a good living; ten francs a day-- that''s not bad, is it? |
30981 | Is he not standing there by the door-- they are handing him a small bundle?" |
30981 | Père Valois stands at the gate and stops me with:"Is it true, monsieur, you are going Saturday?" |
30981 | The nude, as always, is PROHIBITED!?! |

30981 | c''est gai là- bas-- and monsieur was well amused while in that beautiful country?" |
30981 | est- il drôle, ce sauvage?" |
30981 | he explains, holding up two fat fingers,"all straight, friend-- two whiskeys with seltzer on the side-- see? |
30981 | that''s funny, is it not? |
14496 | Are the cantons going to help you pay your debts? |
14496 | Brother, do you pledge me safety? |
14496 | For whom does your prince labour? 14496 Is it true? |
14496 | To whom? |
14496 | What could you do alone? 14496 What tidings, Monsieur, do you bring us? |
14496 | Yes, 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?" |
14496 | As to an assessment, what is the use unless the tax is surely to be paid? |
14496 | Between Peronne and Namur did the party turn aside to visit the young Duchess of Burgundy, either at Hesdin or at Aire? |
14496 | But what of that? |
14496 | But what was to be done? |
14496 | CHAPTER XIX THE FIRST REVERSES 1474- 1475"Who is this that cometh, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength?" |

14496 | Do you think that I should wage a war of benefit if I should lead my troops thither?'' |
14496 | Do you think you can coerce a rabble like this by threats and hard words-- a rabble who at this moment do not value you more than the least of us? |
14496 | From 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? |
14496 | Had Henry van Borselen done all he could to prevent Warwick''s landing in England? |
14496 | Had not the former been a beggarly suppliant at his father''s gates, as dauphin? |
14496 | Have you made peace?" |
14496 | Is it I who wanted the French crown? |
14496 | Is it for himself or for you, for your defence? |
14496 | Is that a king of France, the greatest king in the world? |
14496 | It was Groothuse alone who averted disaster:"Do you not see that your life and ours hang on a silken thread? |
14496 | Relinquish Normandy, restored by the hand of heaven to its natural liege lord after its long retention by the English kings? |
14496 | Under these circumstances what remained to hinder the attainment of Charles''s desire? |
14496 | Was Charles too exigeant with his demands, too chary of his daughter? |
14496 | Was I not equally obliged to proceed against Liege, in behalf of my countship of Namur, which sprang from the bosom of Flanders? |
14496 | Was he not the very person to tame insolent Swiss cowherds? |
14496 | What 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? |
14496 | What was the reason for their selfish insubordination? |
14496 | With killing of every kind at his service, what greater solace could a homeless prince expect? |
14496 | Would he not perhaps be an excellent mediator between the lesser dukes and the king? |
14496 | Would it not be better to suspend action until his opinion was known, etc? |
14496 | Would not Matthias consider the two offices? |
14496 | [ 2] Where are they? |
14496 | [ 9] How could Burgundy furnish money? |
14496 | and himself to divide France between them? |
14496 | to whom?" |
3838 | But who is it,answered she,"that tells you all this? |
3838 | And can I then be justly said to live? |
3838 | Dead in estate, do I then yet survive? |
3838 | The King said,"Why so? |
3838 | What grounds are there for such a calumny? |
3551 | What signifies that,replied Bonaparte,"if it was necessary to the object he had in view?" |
3551 | But is there not some ground for suspecting the fidelity of him who writes or dictates his own history? |
3551 | But it may be said to me, Why should we place more confidence in you than in those who have written before you? |
3551 | Have I not always been contending either with domestic enemies or foreign foes? |
3551 | He asked me whether I would go with him? |
3551 | His favourite phrase, which was every moment on his lips, must not be forgotten--"What will history say-- what will posterity think?" |
3551 | However great Napoleon may have been, was he not also liable to pay his tribute to the weakness of human nature? |
3551 | I sacrificed my home, abandoned my property, and lost everything for the Republic? |
3551 | In what class am I placed? |
3551 | Ought the representatives to reduce the Government to the necessity of being unjust and impolitic? |
3551 | Salicetti, 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? |
3551 | Since the commencement of the Revolution, have I not always been attached to its principles? |

3551 | What does it contain? |
3551 | What resistance could it have opposed to the man destined to change the face of all Europe? |
3551 | What would have become of me had I been in Verona on the Monday? |
3551 | Why, then, am I declared suspected without being heard, and arrested eight days after I heard the news of the tyrant''s death? |
35678 | But who were these people whom the Romans called Galli? |
35678 | Does the incongruity of such an arrangement strike no one among the religiously- minded people who visit Le Puy? |
35678 | O God of mercy, when? |
35678 | People may regard it as a joke; but what about Catherine the Great and Queen Victoria?" |
35678 | What does the average middle- class family know of the French residents in London? |
35678 | When one remembers, too, the astonishing business capacity of the average Frenchwoman, one is inclined to echo the question,"Why not?" |
35678 | When questioned as to the seriousness of her purpose she asked,"And why not a woman head of the State? |
35678 | Who is not familiar with the hard- faced woman who with a horn at her lips controls the level crossings? |
35678 | With Ebenezer Elliott one asks again: When wilt Thou save the people? |

3842 | And what are they? |
3842 | Whom should we see? |
3842 | Whom, then, do you confide in at Paris? |
3842 | What relation had these trifling stories to the archbishopric of Paris? |
3842 | Who, therefore, can write truth better than the man who has experienced it? |
3842 | would you have me drive over all these devils here?" |
15246 | But,came the question,"what would have been the consequences of a change of residence?" |

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

15246 | What I want to know is: What have you done with this France which I left you so glorious? |
15246 | Who knows? |
15246 | Why did Lord Keith not give_ them_, as he did the devoted Frenchmen, a little sermon on the orthodoxy of the gallows? |
15246 | Why does Scott quote Gourgaud if, as he says, it is probable that the malady was in slow progress even before 1817? |
15246 | Why should he complain in the fretful way he does of his treatment and his condition? |
15246 | Why should she be so anxious to be in the immediate reach of tyranny?" |
15246 | You are craving for more victories? |
15246 | You ask for the capture of a town? |

16943 | But,he persisted,"you will drink ale with me?" |
16943 | But,said he,"you will give_ me_ a glass?" |
16943 | How,they asked,"was she from home?" |
16943 | Where shall we go? |
16943 | Will it be worth our while to go so far to see a small cemetery? |
16943 | You came to see these graves? |
16943 | And how long can such a state of things continue without dragging down the women who marry such men? |
16943 | And was it not very natural for it to jump from belief to infidelity? |
16943 | Are such pictures as can be found in the French gallery, pictures which express sensuality and debauchery, productive of good? |
16943 | Can we rest content with such a prospect? |
16943 | Dead and buried nobility-- what is it? |
16943 | Did I ever go out of my way to see even buried_ royalty_? |
16943 | Do these things improve the morals of a city or nation? |
16943 | Does the world not know him to have long been an open and thoroughly debauched libertine? |
16943 | For should not the exchange for the greatest merchants of Paris be built in a stable rather than in a slight and beautiful manner? |
16943 | Have 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? |
16943 | He met his friend, the marquis de Pastorel, one day, who said:"How are you, Horace; where have you kept yourself for these two years? |
16943 | He wrote to a friend in France:"How can I forget the barbarous manner with which I have been treated in my own country? |
16943 | His 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?" |
16943 | How comes it, then, that so near Paris, agricultural implements are so far behind the age? |
16943 | How could a man with an independent intellect succumb to such a church? |
16943 | I wish to know what is deemed an outrage to the established government of France?'' |
16943 | If so, why is it that wherever naked pictures and sensual statuary abound, the people are licentious and depraved? |
16943 | Is it well to look at so much nakedness, even if it be executed with the highest art? |
16943 | Now 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? |
16943 | One of the men who had her in charge, cried out,"Do you wish the window of the carriage to be closed?" |
16943 | Pure, guileless generous-- and poor, what could he do in New York? |

16943 | The gentlemen of the police knew nothing of bush- fighting, and might have exclaimed with the muse in Romeo,''Is this poultice for my aching bones?''" |
16943 | The king was very angry, and asked,"Does he think that he knows everything because he writes verses?" |
16943 | The subject is hackneyed and old-- what can_ I_ say about the Louvre which will be new to the reader? |
16943 | This was the peasant under the walls of Paris-- what must he be in the provincial forests? |
16943 | Was it not hard? |
16943 | What can be the morality of any town, while such facts exist in reference to its condition? |
16943 | What is the moral character of the first men in the empire? |
16943 | When Aurore spoke of her snuff- boxes, he laughed heartily;"but,"said he to Sandeau,"why do not you become a journalist? |

37211 | But what would you, inquisitive traveller? |
37211 | But why? |
37211 | Has not George Sand expressed her love of it as fervidly as did Marie Antoinette for the Trianon? |
37211 | How can one not love its prairies, gently sloping to the caressing Loire, its rolling hills and dainty ravines? |
37211 | She simply asked:"Is the king yet dead?" |
37211 | What would not the French give for the return of this work of art? |
37211 | ou bien dévot hermite?" |
29603 | And what motive,inquired the duke,"impelled you to such a deed? |
29603 | Are you a coward? |
29603 | Art thou the admiral? |
29603 | Do you desire this_ sincerely_? |
29603 | Indeed,he replied,"how can I be otherwise, to see a people so ungrateful toward their king? |
29603 | My friends,said he,"why do you weep? |
29603 | Well, then, will you be my son- in- law? |
29603 | What do you desire? |
29603 | Which of the two do you like the best? |
29603 | Would you have me,Henry replied,"profess conversion with the dagger at my throat? |
29603 | And could you, in the day of battle, follow one with confidence who had thus proved that he was an apostate and without a God? |
29603 | And how was it in the army of the Duke of Mayenne? |
29603 | And what is religion, if it can be laid aside like a shirt?" |
29603 | And yet can it be justly called so? |
29603 | Are these things to be spoken in a corner? |
29603 | As Henry approached the door of the church, the archbishop, as if to repel intrusion, imperiously inquired,"Who are you?" |
29603 | As the Queen of Navarre retired for the night, Charles said to Catharine, laughing,"Well, mother, what do you think of it? |
29603 | Casting away his racket, he exclaimed, with every appearance of indignation,"Shall I never be at peace?" |
29603 | Do I play my little part well?" |
29603 | Do you wish me to counsel him to go to mass? |
29603 | Has not God smitten us all enough to allay our fury, and to make us wise at last?" |
29603 | Have I done you any wrong?" |
29603 | Have you never read the Catholic doctors?" |
29603 | He ordered the man to be brought before him, and calmly inquired,"Have you not come hither to kill me?" |
29603 | Henry III., on one occasion, had said to him,"How can a man of your intelligence and ability be a Protestant? |
29603 | Is not this sufficient? |
29603 | Is the monster really dead? |
29603 | Moreover, who could recount his other common or extraordinary labors? |
29603 | Oh, was there ever such a knight, in friendship or in war, As our sovereign lord King Henry, the soldier of Navarre?" |
29603 | On whom, pray, should the king confer favors, if not on his relatives and his influential friends?" |
29603 | Raising his eyes, he said to the embassador,"Are you a father?" |
29603 | The 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? |
29603 | The dome of St. Peter''s is man''s noblest architecture, but what is it when compared with the magnificent rotunda of the skies? |
29603 | The king fondly took the playful child in his arms, and said affectionately,"Will you be my son?" |
29603 | The king looked sternly upon him, and, without any word of greeting, exclaimed angrily,"Did I not forbid you to enter Paris?" |
29603 | Then turning to Mayenne, he added,"Tell me the truth, cousin, do I not walk a little too fast for you?" |
29603 | Think 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? |
29603 | When will he imbibe the spirit of a noble toleration-- of a kind brotherhood? |
29603 | Who then should grasp the rich prize of the sceptre of France? |
29603 | Who was to be his successor? |
29603 | With what conscience shall I advise if I do not first go myself? |
29603 | he shouted, looking up at the window,"have you done it?" |
29603 | my friend, is it true? |
29603 | why did I follow such evil counsels?" |
3845 | And will you neglect the only opportunity Providence puts a into your hands to obtain the honour of it? |
3845 | Do you count it a slight thing to put an end to all these miseries? |
3845 | Then he said,"If I should resolve to brave it out, will you declare for me?" |
3845 | Whether Bordeaux will return to its duty, as well as the Prince de Conti and Madame de Longueville? |
3845 | Whether the places which the Prince de Conde has fortified shall be put into the condition they were in before the breach? |
3845 | Whether they will come to Court? |
3845 | Whether they will disband their forces? |
3845 | Whether they will dismiss all the foreigners that are in the kingdom? |
3845 | Whether they will not form new pretensions? |
3845 | Whether, in this case, they will renounce all leagues and associations with foreign princes? |

18080 | ''[ 26]''What does Monsieur think?'' |
18080 | ( for we are favoured with a little confidence from our young friend), and what can we say? |
18080 | And as to girls-- who knows the impression left for life on young hearts, by the dead walls and silent trees of a French_ pension_? |
18080 | Are either of our''memorials''likely to fulfil these conditions? |
18080 | Are there bounds which they overstep and which we can not pass? |
18080 | Are we really more straightforward and honourable than they? |
18080 | Do these atoms on the earth''s surface hope to change the order of the elements, to serve their own purposes? |
18080 | Do we dream dreams? |
18080 | Do we exaggerate the evils of over- centralization? |
18080 | Do we overdraw the picture? |
18080 | How many"titled"people in these days possess the one, or accept the other? |
18080 | How shall we describe it? |
18080 | If rain were needed, would it not come? |
18080 | It would seem reserved for the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to create a state of society when the question''Who is he?'' |
18080 | Le petit Alphonse s''est marié avec elle, comme ça il est un peu père de famille; nous l''épargnerons, n''est- ce- pas, monsieur? |
18080 | Nous les chasserons sans doute si monsieur le veut;_ mais que feronsnous l''année prochaine_? |

18080 | What real sympathy has the kind, fat, fatherly figure before us with soldiers, saints, or martyrs? |
18080 | Why do we speak of what is done every day in every city of France? |
18080 | Why were they proud-- again we ask, aloud, Why in the name of glory were they proud?'' |
18080 | Why-- it may be asked in conclusion-- do we cling to costume, and prize so much the old custom of distinctive dress? |
18080 | Would she be willing to repeat the follies of her ancestors in the days of the_ Trianon_ and Louis XIV.? |
18080 | Would she complete the fall which began when knights and nobles turned courtiers-- and roués? |
18080 | [ 13] We lately saw an english crest, bearing the motto"Courage without fear;"a piece of tautology, surely of modern manufacturer? |
18080 | [ 63] Is it of no moment to be able to express our thoughts quickly and easily? |
18080 | [ 6] All this, and much more the artist finds to his hand, and what does the architect discover? |

3847 | Did you speak of your own accord,said the King,"when insisting upon being admitted to the privy council? |
3847 | Do you know, madame,quoth he gallantly, one day,"what made me absolutely desire to marry you? |
3847 | In the King''s name? |
3847 | Was such your thought, sister? |

3847 | D.W.]"You will wait for me, dearest one, will you not?" |
3847 | Do you want me, or do you not? |
3847 | How dare you thus take the King''s name in vain?" |
3847 | In France, where men affect to be so gallant and so courteous, how is it that when women rule their reign is always stormy and troublous? |
3847 | It''s quite far enough for the Holy Wafer- box; what''s the use of walking any further for the Holy Sacrament?" |
3847 | The King, whose glance, though very sweet, is very searching, said to me that evening,"Something troubles you; what is it?" |
3847 | What are your fountains at Saint Germain and Chambord compared with such marvellous things as these? |
3847 | What would he gain, except bad example, by staying with a mother who has no virtue and no husband? |
3847 | cried the two others, laughing,"it''s strange to hear you talk like that; so, one has to be a king in order to merit your attention?" |

1335 | Do you know,said Law to the Marquis d''Argenson,"that this kingdom of France is governed by thirty intendants? |
1335 | A ruffian on a horse-- what is there that he will not ride over, and ride on, careless and proud of his own shame? |
1335 | Among what class of men were there not such in those evil days? |
1335 | And if vanity, profligacy, pride, and idleness be not injustices and moral vices, what are? |
1335 | And that amendment must always come from within, and not from without? |
1335 | And what has this century caught from these philosophers? |
1335 | And when a whole people, or even a majority thereof, shall be possessed by that, what is there that they will not do? |
1335 | Are we on the eve of stagnation? |
1335 | Are you so sure of that? |
1335 | But we are bound to ask-- Had they a fair chance of knowing what we know? |
1335 | But what was the cause of the curse? |
1335 | But who shall say that their method was not correct? |
1335 | But why so cruel? |
1335 | Electric telegraphs? |
1335 | Have we proof that their hatred was against all religion, or only against that which they saw around them? |
1335 | In what class of men are there not such now, in spite of all social and moral improvement? |
1335 | Is not the answer-- that the question always is not of destroying the world, but of amending it? |
1335 | Of a long check to the human intellect? |
1335 | Of a new Byzantine era, in which little men will discuss, and ape, the deeds which great men did in their forefathers''days? |
1335 | Railroads? |
1335 | That it was not the only method? |
1335 | That men must be taught to become men, and mend their world themselves? |
1335 | That there were charlatans among them, vain men, pretentious men, profligate men, selfish, self- seeking, and hypocritical men, who doubts? |
1335 | The nobleman had played the mountebank: why should not the mountebank, for once, play the nobleman? |
1335 | The world was all gone wrong: but as for setting it right again-- who could do that? |

1335 | What kept them from intermarrying with the middle class save pride? |
1335 | What made them give up the office of governors save idleness? |
1335 | What more exasperating and inexpiable insult to the ruling powers was possible than this? |
1335 | What progress-- it is a question which some will receive with almost angry surprise-- what progress has the human mind made since 1815? |
1335 | Why not? |
1335 | Why not? |
1335 | Will our age, in its turn, ever be spoken of as an old Regime? |
1335 | Would not the system, then, soon become intolerable? |
1335 | Would there not be evil times for the masses, till they became something more than masses? |
1335 | Would you have had them appeal to unnatural law?--law according to which God did not make this world? |
1335 | Would you have had them appeal to unreason? |
1335 | You 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? |

11298 | ''So you have been to the Blessing of the Beasts? |
11298 | ''What do you want, cruel beast?'' |
11298 | ''What is it?'' |
11298 | ''Why?'' |
11298 | ''Why?'' |
11298 | ''Why?'' |
11298 | ''Will you please tell me your quality?'' |
11298 | ''_ Un peu de saucisson?_''he said to me, with a winning smile after handing me his snuff- box. |
11298 | Addressing me, he said:''Pardon, monsieur, you are a stranger in this country?'' |
11298 | After all, why should not a beggar smoke? |
11298 | All creatures seemed to grow drowsy, except the sociable little quails that kept calling to one another,''How are you?'' |
11298 | And what are the wages in return for such a life? |
11298 | By what wonderful chance was it preserved intact, together with its towers, after the invention of gunpowder? |
11298 | Can Nature never rest? |
11298 | Could it be a cemetery, that grouping of stones that I saw upon the moorland? |
11298 | Did he ever dream here of a great room in a palace, draped with black and silver, of a catafalque fit for a prince, of a coffin heaped with flowers? |
11298 | Did the rock fall in here? |
11298 | Do they think that they are going to make a hearty meal upon me this evening or to- morrow morning? |
11298 | If I were not killed outright, who would be likely to come to my aid in such a solitude? |
11298 | If tobacco is a blessing, why should a man be debarred from it because his legs are paralyzed, and he is obliged to live on charity? |
11298 | In a few weeks what will have become of all this greenness and beautiful colour of flowers? |
11298 | Is there no peace without bloodshed under the sun and moon, no respite from ravin even when the night is hooded like a dead monk? |
11298 | Is this Albi? |
11298 | Their appearance then is terrible enough; but what must that of the Red Penitents, who accompanied condemned wretches to execution, have been? |
11298 | Then, changing the subject suddenly, he said:''What country do you belong to?'' |
11298 | Then, looking at me very fiercely, he said:''Are you an Englishman or a German?'' |
11298 | Was I in the grocery line, or the oil and colour line? |
11298 | Was I_ dans les spiritueux_ or_ dans les articles d''église_? |
11298 | Was it in time? |
11298 | What if I were to slip and roll down the rocks? |
11298 | What if I, were to get half- way, and were unable to go on or to retreat? |
11298 | What is left of the feudal grandeur of Lescure? |
11298 | What is my relation to them, and theirs to me? |
11298 | What is the pale yellow flame that I see burning by the river where a slanted beam strikes down from a crenellated bastion of ruddy rock? |
11298 | What more could I want? |
11298 | What sort of face would a butcher of to- day make if he were asked to work on such terms? |
11298 | Where now are the generous sentiments and the poetry traditionally associated with the vintage? |
11298 | Where, we asked, could the otters be hiding themselves? |
11298 | Why did it linger? |
11298 | Why did men build houses in rows on the brink of these frightful precipices? |
14812 | ''And who is thy master?'' 14812 ''Sir,''quod I,''hath the Erie of Foiz made any amendes for the dethe of that knight or sorie for his dethe?'' |
14812 | ''Well,''said the knight,''and what news hast thou brought me?'' 14812 A deposit should perhaps be necessary,"we suggest;"how much is desired?" |
14812 | A little of cheese, then? 14812 And could madame also lend us some small drinking- glasses, it may be, and a little corkscrew?" |
14812 | And do you prefer the cities? |
14812 | And your husband,we ask,--"what is he?" |
14812 | But you, madame,I ask,--"you have traveled too by the railroad?" |
14812 | Can one obtain here of the bread? |
14812 | Have you found us a second carriage? |
14812 | Is this the best that one can obtain? |

14812 | Roland, who loves thee so dear, am I; Thou hast no quarrel with me to seek?'' |
14812 | The feast is provided,--where are the guests? |

3860 | What do you mean by saying Adieu? |
3860 | What is that paper? |
3860 | And then turning to Monsieur he said,"Is this not true, my brother? |
3860 | But the King refused them all, and said very bluntly to D''Aubigne,"Is there not a son?" |
3860 | If he thought so, why oppose us so long? |
3860 | On arriving at the supper- table, the King said to the new Duchess:--"Madame, will you be pleased to seat yourself?" |
3860 | and 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? |

10555 | By whom?" |
10555 | Did she make excuses for him, and keep secret the fact of her acting as his adviser? |
10555 | Did she preserve a discreet silence as to his faults and weaknesses, and make others keep silence about them also? |
10555 | Did she stifle every wish to shine at his expense, to be affable when he was not so, to seem to attend to matters which he neglected? |
10555 | Did she take care never to seem cold or weary when with him, never indifferent to his conversation or his caresses? |
10555 | Did, she study his character, his wishes? |

28445 | Do you see,said Louvet to Gaudet,"what horrible hope shines upon that hideous face?" |
28445 | Do you then suppose that there are no honest tradesmen? |
28445 | How do you enjoy your visit, my daughter? |
28445 | I am very glad to see you,continued Madame De Boismorel;"and who is this fine girl? |

28445 | Which do you prefer,said a Jacobin to Vergniaud,"this ovation or the scaffold?" |
28445 | Whom shall I send? |
28445 | Why are you in such haste? |
28445 | Why, what harm have these persons done you, my child? |
28445 | Why,she exclaimed, with melancholy earnestness,"will you reject this young man? |
28445 | You wish to take the veil, do you not? |
28445 | Your grand- daughter reads a great deal, does she not, Miss Phlippon? |
28445 | After receiving the honors of persecution, am I to expect the still greater one of martyrdom? |
28445 | And how do you think you would like a husband who was your master and tyrant?" |
28445 | But how did they die? |
28445 | Did they perish from exposure to hunger and exhaustion, and the freezing blasts of winter? |
28445 | Did you ever venture in a lottery my dear?" |
28445 | Have we, then, labored at the most glorious of revolutions for so many years, to see it overthrown in a single day? |
28445 | How old is your grand- daughter, Miss Phlippon? |
28445 | Is no courage requisite in these times in denouncing the protectors of assassins?" |
28445 | It was a perilous position to fill, but what danger will not ambition face? |
28445 | Madame De Boismorel, at one time eulogizing her taste in these respects, remarked,"You do not love feathers, do you, Miss Phlippon? |
28445 | Or, in their weakness, were they attacked by the famished wolves of the mountains? |
28445 | Pray, my dear, are you not a little of a devotee?" |
28445 | The question between the Girondist and the Jacobin was,"Who shall lie down on the guillotine?" |
28445 | Whence, then, arises that degree of animosity manifested toward me? |
28445 | Which can bid highest for the popular vote? |
28445 | Which can pander most successfully to the popular palate? |
28445 | Who would have the temerity, in such an hour, to oppose the affectionate demonstration? |
28445 | Why have you suffered me, father, to contract these intellectual habits and tastes, if you wish me to form such an alliance? |
28445 | Why must I and my child walk on this hot pavement, while they repose on velvet cushions and revel in all luxury? |
28445 | Worn out by suffering and abandoned to despair, did they fall by their own hands? |
28445 | hast thou stricken kings with blindness? |
28445 | said Madame Roland, eagerly,"what has been done with my letter?" |
28445 | she exclaimed,"would you have me take one for my husband upon the strength of a single interview?" |
28445 | your grand- daughter, I suppose? |
3873 | How was this to be done? |
3863 | And why not? |
3863 | But what hindrance could there be,said Monseigneur,"since there was nothing between the two armies?" |
3863 | What promise, Sire? |
3863 | What promise? |
3863 | Why not? |
3863 | Madame de Maintenon smiled with majestic kindness, and addressing the Princesse d''Harcourt,"Is this the way,"said she;"that you go to prayers?" |
3863 | Must it be said then? |
3863 | People asked with surprise and much annoyance whence came such a great friendship which had never been suspected by anybody? |
3863 | What will not a man think of doing when possessed to excess by love or ambition? |
11601 | ''You did well,''said Richelieu;''but what description of person is this Radbod? 11601 Am I then authorized to state, Madame, that you will shortly arrive in Paris?" |
11601 | Are you indeed the sovereign of France, and the son of Henry the Great? |
11601 | Can it be that we shall not have the honour of seeing him exhibit his crimson robes on this magnificent occasion? |
11601 | Can my poor services avail to restore you to peace of mind? |
11601 | Heard you that? |
11601 | What are you thinking of, Monsieur le Duc? |
11601 | What have I done to forfeit your favour? 11601 What mean you, Madame?" |
11601 | What must be your fate, Madame,they insidiously urged,"should his Majesty die without issue? |
11601 | Whither does your Majesty purpose to proceed? |
11601 | And my colleague, my destined successor, did he not talk of the galleys? |
11601 | Are my robes ready?" |
11601 | Are not these prudent and proper counsellors for an ambitious and headstrong woman? |
11601 | But on what conditions do you imagine that he conceded this demand? |
11601 | Dare I hope that, in this emergency, your Majesty will deign to occupy a house which I possess at Cologne, until my return from Paris?" |
11601 | Do you shrink from the exertion necessary to the measure that I propose?" |
11601 | Had you another alternative?" |
11601 | Has he not yet shed blood enough? |
11601 | Have you forgotten our galleys, M. de Bassompierre? |
11601 | Have you forgotten your birth and your rank? |
11601 | How have I been so unfortunate as to incur his displeasure without having done anything to excite it? |
11601 | How have I sacrificed your esteem?" |
11601 | How say you, M. de Guise? |
11601 | Is the King about to leave me here? |
11601 | Is there no man bold enough to deliver the kingdom from this monster? |
11601 | M. de Rambure, have you your pencil about you?'' |
11601 | Shall we not depart hence with light hearts and tranquil spirits, grateful for so many hours of unalloyed and almost unequalled happiness?" |
11601 | Should you be willing to retire to a cloister while Mademoiselle de Montpensier took your place upon the throne? |
11601 | Such are the terms of the treaty; and were they once accepted, who would be able to sustain your claims?" |
11601 | What are the next commands which I am to be called on to obey? |
11601 | What do you think of the project?" |
11601 | What does he intend to do with me?'' |
11601 | What is his age? |
11601 | What is to be my ultimate fate? |
11601 | What were to Richelieu the memories of the past? |
11601 | What will be thought of such a treaty by the world? |
11601 | Where is Cinq- Mars?" |
11601 | Why am I deprived of my physician and the gentlemen of my household? |
11601 | and you, M. de Bassompierre? |

2582 | Society? |

2582 | Villagers, after listening to a sermon against the tavern and drunkenness, murmur and are heard to exclaim:"Why does he meddle with our affairs? |
2582 | Were we good citizens? |
2582 | What if he, like so many other highly talented and intelligent men, took his own superb intelligence and imagination for granted? |

3849 | Do you think he is equally devoted to you? |

3849 | Have you really got some king stowed away in one of your rooms? |
3849 | Is Racine in easy circumstances? |
3849 | Lord Hyde, the Chancellor? |
3849 | Well, M. Bailiff,said his Majesty,"did you easily recognise me at first sight?" |
3849 | Whom have you in view? |
3849 | Among these kings, too, there were most holy, most saintly people, and--""Then, what do you conclude from that, Duke?" |
3849 | And little Peguilain de Lauzun, of whom you used to be so fond when you were both boys,--where is he? |

3849 | cried his Majesty;"so you are back again? |
3552 | Well, General,said I,"what think you of our journey? |
3552 | What was the force of that army? |
3552 | ''For what purpose are we come here?'' |
3552 | --"What is it, and on whose behalf?" |
3552 | Are you satisfied? |
3552 | But what has been the result of this great political spoliation? |
3552 | Can the mercy which they have exercised even in the fury of battle be extinct in their hearts? |
3552 | Do you know that you have all of you been the cause of my not following up the battle of Chebreisse? |
3552 | Have the soldiers of liberty become executioners? |
3552 | He considered victory to be a thing that was impossible, and even with a victory, what would have become of the expedition? |
3552 | He never failed to ask whence they came? |
3552 | He one day said to me:"What gross stupidity, is this? |
3552 | He 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? |
3552 | How could he have supported the establishment he did with only 15,000 francs of income and the emoluments of his rank? |
3552 | How could it ever be said that the Directory"kept General Bonaparte away from the great interests which were under discussion at Rastadt"? |
3552 | I know well there are societies where it is said,"Is this blood, then, so pure?" |
3552 | Is he the author?" |
3552 | It was speedily ascertained that the little advanced guard of the headquarters had not heard the"Qui vive?" |
3552 | Then how oppose all the Austrian forces that will march to the protection of Vienna? |
3552 | What does he desire of me?" |
3552 | What was Bonaparte''s conduct? |
3552 | When I saluted the General, whom I had not seen for twelve days, he thus addressed me:"So you are here, are you? |
3552 | Why then fight for a few paltry villages? |
3552 | Will you send, for this purpose, your power of attorney to Bacciocchi, or to whomsoever you think fit? |
3552 | what course they had sailed? |
3552 | what ships they had met? |
3552 | what was their destination? |
34400 | And who will command if you go? |
34400 | Do you know what you did yesterday? |
34400 | It is a great misfortune,he said;"what is the Government doing? |
34400 | No; who are you? |
34400 | Now 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? |
34400 | Well, Prince of Essling,said Napoleon,"are you no longer Masséna?" |
34400 | What then? |
34400 | What, General Dumas, do you not know me? |
34400 | Are you worse than at Wagram? |
34400 | As 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?... |
34400 | Do you think that our men are as good now as in 1792--that we can be as keen to- day after fifteen years''war? |
34400 | Does not imagination play a great part in your weakness? |
34400 | For what did we need? |
34400 | How much older are you now than at Essling? |
34400 | Is it then only French blood that is to flow in Spain without regret and without vengeance?" |
34400 | It 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?" |
34400 | Marceau, indignant at being rebuked by a young staff officer, roughly asked,"And who are you?" |
34400 | That evening at dinner the Emperor asked,"Is that the way you manage your horse?" |
34400 | The Emperor, to further mystify him, said,"Do you like chocolate, Monsieur le Duc?" |
34400 | The Marshal, in a fury, turned on his aide- de- camp, exclaiming,"Wretch, do you want to ruin me? |
34400 | Well might the Emperor cry out,"What, after such a butchery no results? |
34400 | When I witness such behaviour I ask,''Is this treason or imbecility?'' |
34400 | Who are they going to send against that man?" |
34400 | Who had given him the duchy, the fortress, and everything?" |
34400 | Who knows but that within two hours I shall not hear that you are taken off? |
34400 | Your age? |
34400 | Your health? |
34400 | no prisoners?" |
3844 | How can that be? |
3844 | I expect,she said,"to be befriended for my own sake, and do n''t I deserve it? |
3844 | Was anything,said the Queen,"ever so strange and unaccountable? |
3844 | Whither are we going? |
3844 | Are you not master of the people? |
3844 | At this the Queen''s countenance began to brighten, and she said, very softly,"What is it, then, that you will do?" |
3844 | Can you not possibly serve me without being the enemy of him in whom I most confide?" |
3844 | Do not you command the army? |
3844 | Has his Royal Highness any regular troops to besiege Vincennes? |
3844 | I added,"And M. le Prince,"who thereupon said, with a scornful air:"What, I? |
3844 | I 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?" |
3844 | I said to M. Bellievre, who seemed to be overjoyed that the Prince had not been able to devour me;"for whom do we labour? |
3844 | Is it not possible for you to make your friends love her?" |
3844 | Is not the whole garrison in that castle in the King''s service? |
3844 | Must I retire?" |
3844 | Must we let the Prince de Conde and the Coadjutor be murdered? |
3844 | monsieur, are you armed?" |
13044 | And why, if the civil authorities are too weak to resist the torrent, is there not a sufficient military force to stem it? |
13044 | Could this be said of a party in England, on a similar occasion? |
13044 | How long will they continue so? |
13044 | I suppose the French children are not so easily pleased as our English men and women are?" |
13044 | Is Charles the Tenth ignorant of the actual state of things in Paris, and of the power of public opinion? |
13044 | Is it possible your lordsip can taste any thing so barbarous? |
13044 | L''estime, l''amitié, la confiance, ne suffisent- elles pas aux glaces de la vieillesse?" |
13044 | Must she not tremble for the future, if not for the present, among a people so versatile as those among whom she is now thrown? |
13044 | Of whom were they, the honoured dead, Whose mem''ry Love would here record? |
13044 | Shall I ever see that delightful land again? |
13044 | Shewing within their coral cell The shining pearls that there did dwell, But dwell no more? |
13044 | Talk of the ideal in poetry? |
13044 | The author must be a man of fine feelings, as well as of genius,--but were they ever distinct? |
13044 | What cheered these men of genius during their toils and enabled them to finish their glorious works? |
13044 | What may not to- morrow''s sun witness, ere it goes down? |
13044 | What would our political friends say if they knew how strongly I urged him not to go, but to send his proxy to Lord Rosslyn? |
13044 | Where are the civil authorities during all this commotion? |
13044 | Who can be deceived in the house of a_ nouveau riche_? |
13044 | Who can look on this heroic woman without astonishment at the power of endurance that has enabled her to live on under such trials? |
13044 | Who is there that can boast an English birth, that would not wish to die at home and rest in an English grave? |
13044 | Why fleets youth so fast away, Taking beauty in its train, Never to return again? |
13044 | Why will health no longer stay? |
13044 | You once more ask,"If he has got nothing to match the colour you require?" |
13044 | and if mirrors could retain the shadows replete with despair they once reflected, who dare look on them? |
13044 | exclaimed he,"is it possible that all my efforts to amuse that child have so wholly failed? |
13044 | for when were the actions of public men judged free from the prejudices that discolour and distort all viewed through their medium? |
13044 | how can I think that I must soon leave all those who love me so much, and whom I so dote on, without bitter regret? |
13044 | it is now too late to think of marriage, and what, therefore, is to be done? |
13044 | or does he hope to vanquish the resistance likely to be offered to this act? |
13044 | where''s the crimson dye That youth and health did erst supply? |
13044 | why is no second spring allowed to us? |
3867 | As soon as she had closed the door,"Well, Monsieur,"said I to the Dauphin,"if you had drawn the bolt?" |
3867 | For, if he did not know where the information came from how could he be assured it was trustworthy? |
3867 | Madame de Maintenon cried out,"Where are you going? |
3867 | Monseigneur le Duc de Bourgogne become Dauphin, heir to the throne of France; what favour might I not hope for? |
3867 | People 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? |
3867 | what purity of purpose!--May I say it? |
30875 | And are you not in the secret? |
30875 | And my niece,replied the princess, ever forgetful of herself in her thoughtfulness for others,"can she go too?" |
30875 | Certainly,was the reply;"and you will hold the head?" |
30875 | Did the cardinal himself assure you of this? |
30875 | Did you hurt you? |
30875 | Has your majesty,timidly suggests a lady of the court,"ever seen the sun rise?" |
30875 | How dare you make such a request? |
30875 | How 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?" |
30875 | What do you intend to do? |
30875 | What have you done with them? |
30875 | Where are you conducting us? |
30875 | Who commissioned you to make this purchase? |
30875 | Why do you hate me so, my friend? |
30875 | You have purchased diamonds of Boehmer? |
30875 | You will see the body properly embalmed? |
30875 | And what have you done to irritate them so much?" |
30875 | But what_ shall_ I do?" |
30875 | Did not you yourself tell me that you had sold it at Constantinople?" |
30875 | For what does she owe you that enormous sum?" |
30875 | Groups upon the Boulevards inquired,"Why is the queen thus frolicking at midnight without her husband?" |
30875 | If so, what joy could there remain on earth for them after their awful sufferings and bereavements? |
30875 | Is his mother alive?" |
30875 | Shouts of derision filled the air, while the mob without were incessantly crying,"Have you killed them yet? |
30875 | The day for the final decision came-- Shall the king live or die? |
30875 | The queen read this strange note aloud, again and again exclaiming,"What does the man mean? |
30875 | To whom must I apply for that?" |
30875 | Was it not droll? |
30875 | Were they also to perish upon the guillotine, where nearly all whom they had loved had already perished? |
30875 | Were they ever to be released? |
30875 | Were they to linger out the remnant of their days in this wretched captivity? |
30875 | What course could she with safety pursue? |
30875 | What shall she do to give wings to the lagging hours? |
30875 | What was to be their own fate? |
30875 | Where did you obtain these securities and these promissory notes, signed in the queen''s name, which have been given to Boehmer?" |
30875 | Who can measure the amount of their endurance during these fifteen hours of woe? |
30875 | Why do I love so fondly? |
30875 | Why is not the property of emigrants confiscated-- their houses burned-- a price set upon their heads? |
30875 | Why 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? |
30875 | Why should I make the people miserable? |
30875 | Will you consent?" |
30875 | Would their inhuman jailers envy them the consolation they found in each other''s arms, and separate them? |
30875 | and how could you suppose that I should have acted through the mediation of such a character as the Countess Lamotte?" |
30875 | exclaimed Madame Elizabeth,"why do you undeceive them? |
30875 | is to- day yesterday again?" |
30875 | said the queen, kindly;"have I ever done any thing to injure or to offend you?" |
30875 | was it not droll?" |
30875 | why am I so fondly loved? |

35068 | Let me in this, will you? |
35068 | Will all Americans be ordered home? |
35068 | Will we be safe in Switzerland? |
35068 | Will we have to have passports? |
35068 | _ Encore?_I said. |
35068 | And the Swiss prosperity, and the medical practice, and the sciences? |
35068 | And the old car-- that to us had always seemed to have a personality and sentience-- had it been dreaming, too? |
35068 | And what of the rest of Europe? |
35068 | And what of their positions in America? |
35068 | And why a dog? |
35068 | Any questions, please? |
35068 | Are the Swiss banks going to stop payment on letters of credit?" |
35068 | But what would be done with them later? |
35068 | Could they ship all those cherries north and sell them? |
35068 | Do their occupants have traditional rights from some vague time without date? |
35068 | Do they pay rent, and to whom? |
35068 | Furthermore, concerning the color chosen for profane use-- why blue? |
35068 | He looked intelligent, too, and as a last resort I said:"''Could you, by any chance, tell me the name of the Swiss President?'' |
35068 | How can the French afford those roads-- how can they pay for them and keep them in condition? |
35068 | How can they afford to keep it here? |
35068 | How can they afford to maintain such a road through that sterile land? |
35068 | How could Bonny, a mere village, ever have built a church like that-- a church that to- day would cost a million dollars? |
35068 | How 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? |

35068 | Often we said as we drove along,"What little hotel do you suppose is waiting for us to- night?" |
35068 | So I picked out a bright- looking subject, and said:"''What is the name of the Swiss President?'' |
35068 | What did the barbarians do there-- those hordes that swarmed in and trampled Rome? |
35068 | What would you do then?" |
35068 | Will the ships be running then?" |
35068 | Would 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?" |
3870 | And the expenses, and the ordonnance respecting these taxes, what do you do with them? |
3870 | What is this, Monsieur? |
3870 | Yes,said M. le Duc d''Orleans: then looking at M. le Duc, who smiled;"you do n''t care to go there?" |
3870 | You do not approve of it? |
3870 | At the end of each matter I said to him,"And the Perigueux affair?" |
3870 | It may be imagined with what silence he was listened to, and how all eyes? |
3870 | Monsieur,"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?" |
3861 | A grey hat,replied the King;"where the devil did you learn that?" |
3861 | Do you wish to learn it? |
3861 | Not at all,said the Marquis,"the painter is called INRI; do you not see his name upon all the pictures?" |
3861 | What do you say? |
3861 | Why, sire,said Le Notre,"what can I say? |
3861 | Gentlemen,"said he, addressing the company,"have we not reason to think our fortune prodigious-- the Marechal and I?" |
3861 | How, in spite of a circle of accomplices, could a movement of the arms necessary for such a throw escape all eyes? |
3861 | Is not this a real romance? |
3861 | Is not this excellent? |
3861 | What is the matter?" |
3861 | Who would have believed that"Probleme"could spring from such a man? |
3861 | Who would hesitate between corn and this beautiful mirror?" |
3861 | said 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? |
10670 | A good place that-- pays well, eh? |
10670 | A great success? |
10670 | After all, was it not in something akin to a romance that I was living? |
10670 | And then-- why not? |
10670 | And, after all, was not that course more worthy, more dignified? |
10670 | And, if so, what could be their purpose? |
10670 | Besides, why should he wait until the ensuing Tuesday? |
10670 | But how do you know that?'' |
10670 | But was it a probable course for the novelist to take? |
10670 | But what was in the envelope? |
10670 | Could she, my wife, oblige him with M. Zola''s address? |
10670 | Did I know So- and- So and So- and- So of Hatton Garden? |
10670 | Did he claim to have received Labori''s card from Labori himself? |
10670 | How did it originate?'' |
10670 | I could only gasp,''How do you know that?'' |
10670 | Is this for the sake of privacy? |
10670 | Next came a torrent of questions: Why were the houses so small? |
10670 | On cabby looking down at me, I said,''Did I tell you Charing Cross just now, driver? |
10670 | Plum tart, though served hot( why not cold, like the French_ tarte_?) |
10670 | Sets a man up, eh?'' |
10670 | Should I be at home on the morrow? |
10670 | Should he go into the country, or to the seaside, or settle down in the London suburbs? |
10670 | So would he not be liable to recognition almost immediately? |
10670 | Some people may ask, Where does the money for many of these demonstrations come from? |
10670 | Starting from the Grosvenor Hotel, might not the reporters trace the master to Wimbledon, and thence to his present retreat? |
10670 | The council dealt mainly with two points-- first, what was M. Zola to do in England? |
10670 | Then mysteriously-- lifting his forefinger and lowering his voice,''Now your friend wants"talent,"eh? |
10670 | Then the hotel porter asked me,''Where to, sir?'' |
10670 | Then, all at once, one of them inquired of the other:''Shall we get out at Wimbledon or Raynes Park?'' |
10670 | Was he not so- and- so and so- and- so?'' |
10670 | Was there no scavengers''service? |
10670 | We were served, I remember, by a very amusing and familiar waiter, who, addressing M. Zola by preference( I wonder if he recognised him? |
10670 | What classes of people lived in them? |
10670 | What could he do with them? |
10670 | What could it be? |
10670 | What is that huge building beside it?'' |
10670 | What was the document in the envelope which he would only deliver to M. Zola in person? |
10670 | What were these Frenchmen like?'' |
10670 | Whatever could be the cause of their delay? |
10670 | Where those streets never watered? |
10670 | Who could those ladies be? |
10670 | Who was he? |
10670 | Why not return the very next night-- that of Sunday, June 4--by the Dover and Calais route? |
10670 | Why was there such a litter of fragments of paper lying about everywhere? |
10670 | Why were the roads so dusty? |
10670 | Why were they all so ugly and so much alike? |
10670 | You are Mr. Vizetelly, I believe?'' |
10670 | said he, after a few pointless remarks,''your friend is over here on business, eh? |
3866 | But have you told her all? |
3866 | --"And are you content?" |
3866 | He appeared struck with what I had said, rose after a profound silence, paced to and fro, and then asked,"But how?" |
3866 | Seeing the opportunity so good, I replied in a firm and significant tone,"How? |
3866 | Shall I say that we desired them, and that we thought of nothing but how to preserve, not use our army? |
3866 | Turning with a bewildered look towards Madame de Maintenon,"My Aunt,"quoth she to her,"have I said something foolish?" |
3866 | Will it be believed that it was necessary to put all this machinery in motion? |
3866 | and advancing warmly toward him, I added,"How glad I am to see you at last delivered; how did you bring this to pass?" |
3866 | what do you think I ought to do?" |
3862 | And my brother,said the King,"did he know of this?" |
3862 | And whose is it, then? |
3862 | Is it mine? |
3862 | Is this a moment to consider whether your daughter is well married or not? |
3862 | What do you mean? |
3862 | What is the matter, Sire? |
3862 | Why, I beg you will tell me if we have two Kings in France? |
3862 | Do you not know the good little Pere du Trevoux, who is speaking to you?" |
3862 | It was a great question, whether the State gained or lost most by his death? |
3862 | M. Fagon, my brother is dead?" |
3862 | When the said confessor came back, he cried,"Monsieur, do you not know your confessor? |
3862 | Who was astonished to hear this straightforward language? |
3862 | he exclaimed, embracing the King''s thighs,"what will become of me? |
3857 | Well, Monsieur,said she,"what would you have him do? |
3857 | What shall I say to him? |
3857 | Who are you, mask? |
3857 | Can you say so much for your own?" |
3857 | Have I not consented to share Madame de Nesle''s favours with him whenever he chooses?" |
3857 | I console him as well as I can; but why should I tease my son about the business? |
3857 | I replied,"I congratulate you upon it; but has this taken place today? |
3857 | If a Duchess can do this, what will not other ladies do? |
3857 | Is not this a becoming jest for such serious personages? |
3857 | The Prince de Conti said to Mr. Law,"Do you know who I am?" |
3857 | The Princess interrupted him:"What do you mean with your ah''s?" |
3857 | The latter person is reported to have said,"Why does the Duke complain? |
3857 | The valet said to him,"Monsieur, what do you do in this room, and why do you touch Madame''s cup?" |
3857 | Then addressing himself to Villequier, he said,"And you, Villequier, do n''t you think you are so?" |
3857 | What would people have to say of him if he did not?" |
3857 | what are you doing? |
3874 | You are all powerful,said he;"everybody bends before you; nobody resists you; what are the greatest people in the land compared with you? |
3874 | A cough, the least movement, the slightest accident, might have betrayed the foolhardy Puyguilhem, and then what would have become of him? |
3874 | And with children by this marriage, what a flight might not Lauzun have taken, and who can say where he might have arrived? |
3874 | In 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? |
3874 | Seeing me alone, he screamed rather than asked,"Where is M. le Duc d''Orleans?" |
3874 | What do you think of it, Monsieur?" |
3874 | Who can hinder you? |
3865 | And if so,interrupted the King all on a sudden, with anger,"what is that to me? |
3865 | How, suffered? |
3865 | Is it possible, my nephew? |
3865 | Madame,said he, smiling, as he arrived,"how would you do just now to get to Lille?" |
3865 | Pardon me,replied D''Antin;"you do not recollect, then, that I have an answer to make to you?" |
3865 | Are the not all equally my grandchildren?" |
3865 | But how could they have done so, without being requested, as was customary, to come forward? |
3865 | Had the Superior any message to send? |
3865 | Has she not already a son; and if he should die, is not the Duc de Berry old enough to marry and have one? |
3865 | Towards the end of the campaign, Gamaches, exasperated with their conduct, exclaimed to them in the presence of everybody:"Is this a wager? |
3865 | What matters it to the who succeeds me,--the one or the other? |
3865 | What would the king have thought of them if they had? |
3865 | With such a guarantee from a man in such favour at Court, who could doubt? |
10403 | And how much is he paying you? |
10403 | Café noir ou café au lait? |
10403 | What would Monsieur take? 10403 _ Garsong poorquar_ do n''t you fetch some bread when I''ve asked three times for it?" |
10403 | And yet, what does a day here or there make to you? |
10403 | As it neighed at the same time, perhaps it was asking,"Who''s my driver?" |
10403 | Can 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? |
10403 | Did I ill use thee? |
10403 | Do I like being a shepherd, sir, roaming the hills, Just earning enough to buy bread? |
10403 | Do you love forest- trees? |
10403 | Have I always looked after the sheep, sir? |
10403 | I''ll class them as one: Now what do you say for the whole forty lots? |
10403 | It is celebrated for its salt springs; and Bayonne hams are said to owe their fine(?) |
10403 | Men of Garlic-- large your numbers, Long indeed your conscience slumbers, Ca n''t you change and eat cu- cumbers? |
10403 | No advance? |
10403 | No advance? |
10403 | No bidding? |
10403 | No one will buy them? |
10403 | No porter would bestir himself to find this great official, but whichever way I turned one was always ready with his"Où allez- vous, Monsieur?" |
10403 | Not a little one? |
10403 | Not one? |
10403 | Now is it not sad to have once been so grand, And now to be shattered and old? |
10403 | One candle? |
10403 | Or love you more the breeze? |
10403 | Some candles? |
10403 | Something is gain''d at last, But you are melting fast, Why does the cruel sun put you to stew? |
10403 | Tell me what bird you think most sweetly sings? |
10403 | Tell me, O long- lain snow, What of the vale below? |
10403 | The finest of course? |
10403 | The first lot then, gents; shall we say fifteen francs? |
10403 | The weather, sir; will it be wet? |
10403 | Then what? |
10403 | To look but a ruin up here, where I stand Decidedly out in the cold? |
10403 | Was I wounded, sir? |
10403 | Was this a new fashion of rearing mushrooms, or a native invention for the propagation of aprons? |
10403 | Was this plateau really worth seeing; and if so, when was it best to start? |
10403 | We were once asked,"Are not the Pyrenees very bare mountains, without any trees or herbage?" |
10403 | What do you think about people and things? |
10403 | What more could an invalid desire? |
10403 | What? |
10403 | Whenever the price was the object of our inquiry, he began in the following strain:"Very good, very good; which does Monsieur like? |
10403 | Who said that thou were old? |
10403 | Who told you to cut this wood?" |
10403 | Why what shall I do To oblige you? |
10403 | Will I drink your good health, sir? |
10403 | Will you please to walk up? |
10403 | You think to mock me, do you? |
10403 | You''ve no heart at all? |
10403 | [ Footnote: Did she ever have the chance?] |
10403 | [ Illustration: SCENE 3.--WHO''S MY DRIVER?] |
10403 | are they fishing where fierce billows foam?" |
10403 | sil voo plate_, where are those potatoes?" |
10403 | tell me, I beg, what''s your pleasure to- day? |
10403 | their_ kind_ advice was_ wrong._ Who said I''d gladly give thee up? |
10403 | what on earth must poor shopkeepers do? |
10403 | which does Ma''m''selle prefer? |
10403 | why should they? |
3850 | Are you in holy orders? |
3850 | Be careful,cried the King;"do n''t you see that your ladder is a short one and is on castors? |
3850 | Messieurs,said he to them,"when you went away you were three in number; what have you done with your comrade?" |
3850 | Of course I do,was my answer;"but may one not love oneself just a little bit, too? |
3850 | Of what crime is your master guilty? 3850 She is dead, but the Emperor would easily recognise you, would he not?" |
3850 | What are you worrying about? |
3850 | Where are the two children of his marriage? |
3850 | Why do you insult me thus? |
3850 | --and that it is to her exquisite breeding that we owe compliments of this kind?" |
3850 | Does it add to his dignity, honour, and glory that you should still be merely a petty marquise? |
3850 | I ask again, what is the King thinking of?" |
3850 | Now, will you please me by going back to Paris? |
3850 | Or must you spend the autumn in this gloomy abode of your ancestors? |
3850 | Then the King smiled, and said to the young Flemish lady:"Who are you? |
3850 | What is the King thinking about? |
3850 | What is this you tell me?" |
3850 | What is your name?" |
3850 | When the King had amused himself with examining these trinkets, he turned to the antiquary and said,"Is that all, sir? |
3850 | Why, where is Charon''s flask of wine?" |
14233 | At what time is the post due here in Auray? |
14233 | But with what? |
14233 | By whom? |
14233 | Is this,he demanded,"the instrument with which the assault was committed? |
14233 | Where''s the murderer? |
14233 | Why? |
14233 | You were not present, Monsieur le commissaire? |
14233 | And are they not completed by death? |
14233 | And charming ones, too, perhaps,--why not? |
14233 | And did the rake belong to him or to some one else? |
14233 | And how many draughts of it did it take for you to acquire all this wonderful knowledge? |
14233 | And, indeed, what is there on which much can not be said? |
14233 | Are n''t the saucepans like polished suns? |
14233 | Are they a confused recollection of the monsters that existed before the flood? |
14233 | As great as space appears to our eye, does it not always seem limited as soon as we know that it has a boundary? |
14233 | But how can they? |
14233 | But is the new as good as the old? |
14233 | But what is, in fact, bad taste? |
14233 | But where did the dragons come from? |
14233 | But who cares about them? |
14233 | But why bother about these things? |
14233 | But, say others, do not his mission and his glory consist in going forward and attacking the work of God, and encroaching upon it? |
14233 | By what magic will they be able to do so? |
14233 | Do they know that we have cities and steeples and triumphal arches? |
14233 | Do they wish to lodge a complaint? |
14233 | Do you prefer Tom Thumb or the Museum of Versailles? |
14233 | Does not this phrase of Fénelon apply wonderfully well to that period:"A sight well calculated to delight the eye?" |
14233 | Has n''t this man had enough of slavery himself? |
14233 | How many dreams have been dreamed beneath it? |
14233 | How many nightmares have galloped under this cap? |
14233 | Indeed, do not monuments grow greater through recollection, like men and like passions? |
14233 | Is it not here that our own grief was nourished, is this not the very Golgotha where the genius that fed us suffered its anguish? |
14233 | Is it not, then, their modesty that appeals to us? |
14233 | Is not asceticism superior epicureanism, fasting, refined gormandising? |
14233 | Is she dead to the world, and will men never see her again? |
14233 | Jérôme, are you sure it is?" |
14233 | Moreover, has it not been said that all the pleasure in these things was only imagination? |
14233 | One is astonished at the way these people cling to their belief; but does one know the pleasure and voluptuousness they derive from it? |
14233 | Or was it, I repeat, with a blunt instrument? |
14233 | The oath? |
14233 | Was it a temple? |
14233 | Was it really with this that these women were hurt? |
14233 | Was not the type of the old soldiers whose race disappeared around 1598, at the taking of Vervins, fine and terrible? |
14233 | What are you regretting? |
14233 | What do you think about it, Monsieur le commissaire?" |
14233 | What has he ever been able to learn about them in the salons; could he see through the corset and the crinoline? |
14233 | What is wanted nowadays is rather the opposite of nudity, simplicity and truth? |
14233 | What was their use? |
14233 | When do they open? |
14233 | Where are the inhabitants? |
14233 | Where can she be? |
14233 | Where could the poor fellow ever have seen any? |
14233 | Where is the poet, nowadays, even amongst the most brilliant, who knows what a woman is like? |
14233 | Who has said:"Life is a hostelry, and the grave is our home?" |
14233 | Who is the assailant? |
14233 | Why does he torment this poor little beast? |
14233 | Would their attitudes be more dejected, their eyes sadder or their prayers more pitiful? |
14233 | where are you leading Father Mahé, canon of Vannes and correspondent of the Academy of Agriculture at Poitiers? |
16910 | If Englishmen may revolt against oppression, why may not Frenchmen? |
16910 | If it is cowardly to submit to tyranny in America, what is it in France? |
16910 | No 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? |
16910 | And was not Austria the leader of the coalition against France? |
16910 | And was this not a triumph for the revolutionary principle which offset the existence of an empire, as its final result? |
16910 | And where was"his Majesty"while this work was being done? |
16910 | Are we sheep, that we have let a few thousands govern us for a thousand years, without our consent?" |
16910 | As one after another of the cities helplessly fell, someone asked why Louis came himself-- why he did not send his valet? |
16910 | But how could he tax a people crying at his gates for bread? |
16910 | But what could he do? |
16910 | But what if he ceased to be ornamental? |
16910 | But what if they should refuse? |
16910 | But where was his knighthood, where his manhood, that he did not try, or utter passionate protest against her fate? |
16910 | Can the mind conceive of human circumstances more lowly? |
16910 | Could any scales weigh, could any words measure the suffering which must have been endured? |
16910 | Could the upper ranks fall lower than this? |
16910 | Could they ever wipe out the stain which had made them odious in the sight of Christendom? |
16910 | Did Madame du Barry think of it? |
16910 | Did she exult at her triumph over de Pompadour, when she was dragged shrieking and struggling to the guillotine? |
16910 | Did she think to slay the monster devouring Paris by cutting off one of his heads? |
16910 | Did they recall this time? |
16910 | Did they think they could guide the whirlwind after raising it? |
16910 | Had not the kingdom reached its lowest depths, where its foreign policy was determined by the amount of consideration shown to Madame de Pompadour? |
16910 | Had she been, not set free, but simply annexed to the realm of the barbarian across the Rhine? |
16910 | Had she exchanged one servitude for another? |
16910 | How could sensuality and vice at Rome be reconciled with a divine infallibility? |
16910 | How was it in Germany? |
16910 | How was it with Catharine? |
16910 | If the ballad- poetry of Provence satirized the lives and manners of the priests, was it not dealing with what was true? |
16910 | Is it strange that, with every aspiration thwarted, hope stifled, Europe sank into the long sleep of the Middle Ages? |
16910 | Napoleon had captured not alone Italy, but France herself? |
16910 | Of all miracles, is not this the greatest? |
16910 | Private interests sacrificed or forgotten, life, treasure, all eagerly given, for what? |
16910 | That thrones, empires, principalities, and powers would melt and crumble before His name? |
16910 | Then why was there no mention of him as one of that martyred group? |
16910 | They had rescued them from one terrible fate, might they not deliver them from another? |
16910 | This hero of Marengo, and Austerlitz, and Jena, and Wagram, the man before whom Europe trembled, was he not, after all, only a crowned citizen? |
16910 | Was any human event ever fraught with such consequences to the human race as the conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar? |
16910 | Was there not, after all, a certain irritating reserve in the homage paid him? |
16910 | Was this not an embodiment of their dreams? |
16910 | Was this the equality they expected when they cried,"Down with the Aristocrats"? |
16910 | Was this wasting away the result of a drug? |
16910 | What 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? |
16910 | What might she not accomplish with such a leader? |
16910 | What should they do with this strange being, claiming supernatural powers? |
16910 | What would they build upon the ruins of their ancient despotism? |
16910 | What would they do with it? |
16910 | Where were the pale- faced, determined patriots who sat in the National Assembly? |
16910 | Where would he find chains more galling, more unnatural, than in Italy, held by the iron hand of Austria? |
16910 | Whether Fredegunde or Brunhilde was the more terrible who can say? |
16910 | Whether the conversion of the Bourbon prince was of that nature or not, who can say? |
16910 | Who would have dreamed that this was the germ of the most potent, the most regenerative force the world had ever known? |
16910 | Why had Henry of Navarre been spared? |
16910 | Why should the simple- hearted Louis see what no one else seemed to see: that victory or failure was alike full of peril for France? |
16910 | Would they ever be forgiven for disgracing the name of Liberty? |
16910 | the one could be made with pen and paper; but by what miracle could he produce the other? |
16910 | was there not a touch of condescension in the friendship of his royal neighbors? |
34071 | If Englishmen may revolt against oppression, why may not Frenchmen? |
34071 | If it is cowardly to submit to tyranny in America, what is it in France? |
34071 | No 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? |
34071 | And then what did it mean to Frenchmen to be suddenly lifted to dazzling ascendancy in Europe? |
34071 | And where was"His Majesty"while this work was being done? |
34071 | And while France was thus weaving her future, what were the other nations doing? |
34071 | Are we sheep, that we have let a few thousands govern us for a thousand years,_ without_ our consent?" |
34071 | Business suspended, private interests sacrificed or forgotten, life, treasure, all eagerly given-- for what? |
34071 | But how could he tax a people crying at his gates for bread? |
34071 | But may one not suspect anything of a woman capable of a St. Bartholomew? |
34071 | But what availed it for Abelard to lead an intellectual revolt against corrupted beliefs in the North, or the Albigenses a spiritual one in the South? |
34071 | But what could he do? |
34071 | But what if he ceased to be ornamental? |
34071 | But where was his knighthood, where his manhood, that he did not try, or utter passionate protest against her fate? |
34071 | But, was there not equal opportunity for every man in the Empire? |
34071 | Can the mind conceive of human circumstances more lowly? |
34071 | Charles abandoned hope; how could he struggle against such a combination? |
34071 | Could any scales weigh, could any words measure the suffering which must have been endured? |
34071 | Could the upper ranks fall lower than this? |
34071 | Did Madame du Barri think of it, did she exult at her triumph over de Pompadour, when she was dragged shrieking and struggling to the guillotine? |
34071 | Did she hasten them? |
34071 | Did she think to slay the monster devouring Paris by cutting off one of his heads? |
34071 | Did they recall this time? |
34071 | Did they think they could guide the whirlwind after raising it? |
34071 | Every soldier''s knapsack, might it not hold a Marshal''s baton? |
34071 | Had not monarchy given them life and hope? |
34071 | Had not the kingdom reached its lowest depths, where its foreign policy was determined by the amount of consideration shown to Madame de Pompadour? |
34071 | Had she been, not set free, but simply annexed to the realm of the Barbarian across the Rhine? |
34071 | Had she exchanged one servitude for another? |
34071 | How was it with Catharine? |
34071 | How would a barefooted, rope- girdled monk, however inspired and eloquent, fare to- day in New York, or London, or Paris? |
34071 | Is it strange, with every aspiration thwarted, hope stifled, that Europe sank into the long sleep of the Middle Ages? |
34071 | Now, Marie would be Queen, and who so natural advisers as her uncles of the house of"Lorraine"? |
34071 | Of all miracles, is not this the greatest? |
34071 | THE EVOLUTION OF AN EMPIRE A BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH OF FRANCE BY MARY PARMELE_ Author of"Evolution of Empire Series, Germany;""Who? |
34071 | That thrones, empires, principalities, and powers would melt and crumble before his name? |
34071 | Was not the Emperor himself a living illustration of what a man from the people might become? |
34071 | Was this not an embodiment of their dreams? |
34071 | Was this the equality they expected when they cried"Down with the Aristocrats"? |
34071 | What sort of a ruler would he be-- this dark, mysterious, unmagnetic man? |
34071 | What would they do with it? |
34071 | What? |
34071 | When an Assembly is at war with the President because it desires to restrict the suffrage, and he to make it universal, can any one doubt the result? |
34071 | When has our consent been asked, the consent of twenty- five million people? |
34071 | When? |
34071 | Where were the pale- faced, determined patriots who sat in the"National Assembly"? |
34071 | Who could be good, with the blood of the Guises in her veins, and with Catharine de Medici as preceptress? |
34071 | Who would have dreamed that this was the germ of the most potent, the most regenerative force the world had ever known? |
34071 | Why had Henry of Navarre been spared? |
34071 | Why should the simple- hearted Louis see what no one else seemed to see: that victory or failure were alike full of peril for France? |
34071 | the one could be made with pen and paper; but by what miracle could he produce the other? |
3878 | ''But the policy of State?'' 3878 ''Is that above religion?'' |
3878 | What,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?'' |
3853 | And why do you busy yourself with these discussions, with which your great talent has no concern? |
3853 | And you advise me--? |
3853 | Do you give me your word? |
3853 | Do you think so, monsieur? |
3853 | Do you think so? |
3853 | Is 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? |
3853 | Well,said I to him then,"what have you to complain of in the new edicts and decrees? |
3853 | By 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? |
3853 | Could those two letters have been sent to me by the King himself?" |
3853 | Do you go back upon what you promised to your brother?" |
3853 | Does not, then, the humiliation which I have suffered for two years any longer satisfy your aversion?" |
3853 | Is my little miniature near completion?" |
3853 | The family of Le Tellier is good enough for a judicial and legal family; but what bonds are there between the Louvois and the Mortemart? |
3853 | Was it my name, or a contest as to the talent of the actress, which caused this commotion? |
3853 | What is it you tell me? |
3853 | What sudden cause, what urgent motive, can determine you to exclude me? |
3853 | Where will you find a King more tenderly attached to men of merit, more particularly, to my dear and illustrious Petitot?" |
3853 | Where will you find a sky so pure and soft as the sky of France? |
3853 | Why do you delay to satisfy him, and to withdraw from so many eyes which watch you with pity?" |
3853 | cried the prince, in consternation,"is your resolution no longer the same? |
3853 | is there hatred and discord already amongst my children?" |
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? |
27881 | And pray who is this M. La Tour that you are all quoting? 27881 And what have we done to deserve such an opinion?" |
27881 | And where did you come across them? |
27881 | And why did Louis, the Father of his people, the good King Louis, imprison Ludovico all those years? |
27881 | Are they crows''nests? |
27881 | But how do they manage to sleep with the ghosts of all these good men who have been murdered here haunting the place at night? |
27881 | Chenonceaux 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?" |
27881 | Gentle Dauphin,she said to him one day,"Why do you not believe me? |
27881 | How 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? |
27881 | How is Archie ever going to find out whether Lydia cares for him, Zelphine? |
27881 | Pourquoi lui avez- vous coupé la gorge? |
27881 | Then why have you added to Archie''s troubles by urging M. La Tour to go with us to- morrow? |
27881 | Well, 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?" |
27881 | What does it all mean? |
27881 | What have we to do with St. Peter and his body? 27881 What is the little black- eyed woman talking about?" |
27881 | Where the deuce does the fellow get them? |
27881 | Why did you kill the Emperor Maximilian? |
27881 | Why not tell him yourself, Zelphine? 27881 Why_ my_ friend?" |
27881 | Yes, of course, how could I forget that evening? 27881 [ B]"And does he bring his family with him?" |
27881 | And darest thou then To beard the lion in his den, The Douglas in his hall? |
27881 | And hopest thou hence unscathed to go? |
27881 | And what do you think that heartless Lydia said between her laughter and her sobs? |
27881 | Angela 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? |
27881 | At first he looked perplexed and then indignantly turned to us for an explanation:"What ailed the lady, and why was she displeased? |
27881 | Can you imagine anything more picturesque, or, as Miss Cassandra says, anything more unhealthy? |
27881 | Did he kill the beasts with his big stick?" |
27881 | Did you ever hear of anything so delicious? |
27881 | Do n''t you think so yourself, Miss Cassandra?" |
27881 | Do you remember how Angela and the Doctor trotted off to see the ruins at Exeter by moonlight?" |
27881 | Do you remember what he said about having a tree planted over his grave? |
27881 | Do you wonder that Lisa calls this a fairy journey? |
27881 | Have you seen Chaumont, which she so unwillingly received in exchange? |
27881 | I can hear you say,"Why not take them to Tours, for the French there?" |
27881 | If her means were equal to her charitable intent, what would she not do for the benefit of mankind in all quarters of the globe? |
27881 | It is quite evident that Brantôme''s eyes were bedazzled by the glitter of royalty, or was it the glitter of royal gold? |
27881 | Not even when Miss Cassandra asked her favorite question in royal palaces,"How many in family?" |
27881 | Now what is it to pass away, is it not to die, to vanish from the earth?" |
27881 | Philippe is my name; why not Philippe?" |
27881 | Polly 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?" |
27881 | Pourquoi avez- vous tué l''Empereur Maximilian?" |
27881 | Walter calls it a piece of American effrontery, but I call it quickwitted, do n''t you? |
27881 | We asked"Why?" |
27881 | What did the good priest do when he landed on the island? |
27881 | What do you think we have been doing this evening? |
27881 | When she exclaimed with fervor,"Have you ever seen any one to be compared with the King?" |
27881 | Why do many of the people, who do the châteaux so conscientiously, skip Angers?" |
27881 | Why do n''t you and Mr. Leonard come too?" |
27881 | You remember that her only reply was,''Is the King yet dead?'' |
27881 | no, we do n''t spoil sport; do we, Zelphine?" |
3895 | Is not the character, the honour, and the tranquillity of a citizen preferable to his treasures? |
3895 | Jourdan, Lasnes, Mortier, Bessieres, St. Cyr, are you also forsaking your friend and benefactor?" |
3895 | The 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? |
11278 | And God? |
11278 | And have you thought,says the Lord God,"that when you go forth to conquer you will crush many peoples and shed rivers of blood?" |
11278 | And will you not feel pity for the killed, the wounded, the burned, the ruined, and the dead? |
11278 | But what does''Bonaparty''mean, and why is a single word so terrible? |
11278 | But what have I got to do with your conquering the world? |
11278 | How about famine? |
11278 | How 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?" |
11278 | Indeed,said the soldier,"is it so? |
11278 | Then what''s the use of your conquering the world? |
11278 | Well, then,replied the soldier,"if you know it, why do n''t you reckon with God?" |
11278 | What do you mean--''killed you for''? |
11278 | What do you want? |
11278 | What have you been doing with my children the soldiers? |
11278 | What kind of a word? |
11278 | Who''s he? 11278 Why do you say, my little brother, that the people have never seen a real warrior? |
11278 | Why does n''t my plan show wisdom? |
11278 | Why 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?" |
11278 | Will you conquer him? |
11278 | Will you permit me,Satan says,"to bring about an invasion of foreigners?" |
11278 | ''Why? |
11278 | A trifle, eh? |
11278 | And I killed him-- why?" |
11278 | And is it possible that you really think you can conquer the whole world?" |
11278 | And the ghastly figure seemed to ask again,"Why did you kill me?" |
11278 | But a voice seemed to whisper in his ear:"And why? |
11278 | But how did they know that he had an agreement with God? |
11278 | But why did you kill me? |
11278 | But you-- why did you kill me?" |
11278 | Could a man have done all that alone? |
11278 | Did anybody ever see him a lieutenant? |
11278 | Did ever a man, before him, take an empire by merely showing his hat? |
11278 | Do you call that natural? |
11278 | Do you understand?" |
11278 | Generals and Field- marshals, how can I check this Napoleonder? |
11278 | Has killing me given you the world? |
11278 | How was that? |
11278 | How, then, can you say you do n''t know any such thing as pity? |
11278 | Is it right that the relatives of your Emperor should have to beg their bread? |
11278 | Now will any of you tell me that that was natural? |
11278 | Or a captain? |
11278 | Tell me, please, what have you killed me for?" |
11278 | The Lord God replies:"Then you think he did n''t receive a soul when my water of life fell on his head?" |
11278 | The Lord God shook his finger at Satan and cried:"Is that all you can think of? |
11278 | Then the angels and the archangels began to say to God:"Lord, why have you laid upon him such a frightful command? |
11278 | Then there was no more army; do you understand? |
11278 | Then, turning to his dead men, he said:"Did you see that?" |
11278 | They thought that France was crushed, did they? |
11278 | Was it natural that they should get such an idea as that? |
11278 | Was that natural, do you think? |
11278 | Was that natural? |
11278 | Was that natural? |
11278 | What could a wounded Russian soldier want of him? |
11278 | When you went into the army, did n''t you take an oath that you would die?" |
11278 | Where did he come from?" |
11278 | Who of you, my servants, will go down to the earth-- who will undertake the great work of softening the conqueror''s heart?" |
11278 | Why, then, did you kill me?" |
11278 | Why?" |
11278 | Why?" |
11278 | Why?" |
11278 | Why?'' |
11278 | Would they have done that for a mere man? |
11278 | You have a soul, have n''t you?" |
3855 | By the left hand? |
3855 | Is it possible,I said,"with so much sense and courage as you possess that you will suffer this old hag to frighten you thus? |
3855 | What Duke? |
3855 | What fool let you enter? |
3855 | Which of them? |
3855 | Yes,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? |
3855 | A few minutes afterwards the Bishop said to me,"Did your Royal Highness hear what the Queen said to me? |
3855 | For whom should I care? |
3855 | He smiled and said,"What have you to ask, then?" |
3855 | I replied,"If a person should have intrigued assiduously to become Madame, could not her son permit her to enjoy that rank peaceably? |
3855 | Monsieur often said to me,"How does it happen that Madame de Fiennes never says anything severe of you?" |
3855 | On my entering the room she said to me,"Madame, what do you come here for?" |
3855 | Seeing only the Prince of Orange, I accosted him thus,--"Pray, tell me who is that woman with so tremendous a nose?" |
3855 | She said to me,"How is it, Madame, that you never look in a mirror when you pass it, as everybody else does?" |
3855 | The 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?" |
3855 | The King immediately sent for him and said"How is this, nephew? |
3855 | The surgeon who blooded her said,"Have you considered this well, Sir? |
3855 | They then came to me and wanted me to intercede for them; but I said,"Why did you not take my advice?" |
3855 | What could the King do against the inclinations of his son and his granddaughter? |
3855 | What, then, would have become of me if I had chosen to retire to Montargis? |
3855 | Why should I torment myself by day and by night? |
3855 | he would say,"must I, to please everybody, say as many silly things as my brother?" |
3872 | And who the devil is he who will dare to do so? |
3872 | Very good,replied he,"and why do you wish I should go-- what madness is this?" |
3872 | Well, who? |
3872 | Would you like to know? |
3872 | ( After some dispute)"You obstinately desire then to know? |
3872 | But when the Regent announced this, who did he suppose would credit it? |
3872 | The next question was, from whom Dubois was to receive holy orders? |
3872 | Thereupon M. le Duc said to the Regent,"But, Monsieur, why, knowing this, did you allow him to leave the realm?" |
3872 | Who could believe that Law would have had the hardihood to issue notes at this rate without the sanction and approbation of his master? |
3872 | Who could have guessed that he would not keep his word? |
3872 | You say M. de Saint- Simon is quite right, why then should I go?" |
3872 | replied the Abbe,"and does the matter rest only upon that?" |
3894 | Do you not see,answered Bonaparte,"that it is also one of the extraordinary gifts of my extraordinary good fortune? |
3894 | Is he, then, not to be a grand pensionary for life? |
3894 | Cloud as served in his own capital? |
3894 | What treasures can indemnify me for connecting such a name and such a personage with the great name of the First Emperor of the French?" |
11600 | Albert,murmured the weak young monarch,"in the name of Heaven, what would you ask?" |
11600 | Am I to die mocked as I have lived? 11600 And Bassompierre?" |
11600 | And how? |
11600 | And my people? |
11600 | And the Marquis d''Ancre? |
11600 | But-- should he resist, Sire? |
11600 | Did the Duc de Guise honour your festival with his presence? 11600 Do I not wear the crown of France?" |
11600 | Do you not yet understand how you are to earn your_ bâton_? |
11600 | Have_ you_ also forgotten that I am the son of Henri IV? |
11600 | Is it come to this? |
11600 | What has occurred? |
11600 | What is my alternative, Albert? |
11600 | What is the meaning of your manner, gentlemen? |
11600 | What is to be done? |
11600 | What mean you? |
11600 | Where is he? |
11600 | Where shall I find an individual hardy enough to undertake such an enterprise? |
11600 | You 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? |
11600 | Can you not offer him a royal recompense? |
11600 | Did she sleep the weary and outworn sleep of the wretched while those sweet and soothing visions were still busy at her heart? |
11600 | Did you counsel this violation of all the solemn promises which have been made to me?" |
11600 | Did you hear those words, Countess?" |
11600 | Do you desire to know how I respond? |
11600 | Do you hold words less acceptable than blows? |
11600 | Do you prefer the sword to the hand of friendship? |
11600 | Has De Brantès announced the speedy arrival of my sparrow- hawks?" |
11600 | Has not every outbreak of unprovoked disaffection rather tended to exhibit the forbearance of the King my son and my own? |
11600 | Have I not compelled respect where I have failed to secure amity? |
11600 | Have I not then, gentlemen, consulted in all things the honour of France, and increased her power? |
11600 | Is De Guise recovering from his wound? |
11600 | Is it then a perpetual revolt upon which you have determined? |
11600 | Look to England-- is there no sterner lesson to be learnt there? |
11600 | Need I recall the concessions which we have made to those who had sought to injure us? |
11600 | Or think you that Marie de Medicis fears to emulate Elizabeth? |
11600 | Sire,"exclaimed Bassompierre,"will you never cease to pain us by these constant allusions to your approaching death? |
11600 | The tool of needy adventurers and intriguing women? |
11600 | Upon what will they next venture?" |
11600 | What can you require beyond this, and what more do you wish?" |
11600 | What do you decide? |
11600 | What fate can be more enviable than your own? |
11600 | What more can they require at my hands than what I have already bestowed? |
11600 | What more then could you require or demand, gentlemen? |
11600 | When 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? |
11600 | Who shall dare, unrebuked, to assert that the ambition of the woman quenched the affection of the wife? |
11600 | Who, then, shall venture to follow her through the reveries of that fatal night? |
11600 | Will 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? |
11600 | d''Epernon?" |
11600 | demanded the Queen- mother abruptly;"did he at least partake of your splendid hospitality?" |
11600 | echoed Caterina;"and by whom?" |
11600 | exclaimed Louis in an agitated voice;"do you mean that he is dead?" |
11600 | or that Marie, in the excess of her self- gratulation, forgot the price at which her delegated greatness had been purchased? |
11600 | shouted Concini, showing himself at the door of the carriage;"do you know who I am?" |
11600 | the victim of treachery and murder?" |
11600 | where are the officers of your household? |
11600 | where are your barons? |
2578 | Does not the law allow( nonjuring) priests the liberty of saying mass? 2578 I have wronged no one,"he exclaimed;"why should any one bear me ill- will?" |
2578 | It is a revolt, then? |
2578 | Monsieur le President,some among the women say to Mounier, who returns with the Royal sanction,"will it be of any real use to us? |
2578 | What means can four commissioners employ to convince 20,000 men, most of whom are seduced by the real enemies of the public welfare? 2578 [ 1340] Those who rifle houses, and steal like highway robbers, think that they are defending a cause, and reply to the challenge,"Who goes there?" |
2578 | [ 2148] What could be more vague than such a term? 2578 [ 2255] Who, now, is the legitimate heir of all these vacated possessions? |
2578 | --"Monsieur Mounier, why did you advocate that villainous veto? |
2578 | And what man in his senses would dare guarantee that each village will not soon have some one hung in it?. |
2578 | Are weapons exclusively made for those but lately deprived only for purposes of annoyance and insult?" |
2578 | Are you not aware that what was called a Seigneur was simply an unpunished usurper? |
2578 | Besides 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? |
2578 | Besides, can there be any hesitation in having recourse to the people in the people''s own cause? |
2578 | Besides, how without an army is this post to be wrested from the hands which hold it? |
2578 | Do we find anything of all this in the Constituent Assembly? |
2578 | Does not the law command all citizens to preserve the public peace? |
2578 | Has it not all the titles for this office? |
2578 | How is the city going to pay for its watch, the lighting and cleaning of its streets, and the support of its hospitals? |
2578 | How many privileged persons there are in the parish, what is the amount of their fortune, are they residents, and what their exemptions amount to? |
2578 | I( note of M. Latour- du- Pin, October 28, 1789)--? |
2578 | I.--Anarchy from July 14th to October 6th, 1789 Destruction of the Government.--To whom does real power belong? |
2578 | If the rebellion of the small communes is of this stamp, what must be that of the larger ones? |

2581 | And you, like the rest, took part in the Revolution through ambition? |
2581 | Fuck, where were you then? |
2581 | General Dumas,[1244] said he, abruptly, to Mathieu Dumas,"you were one of the imbeciles who believed in liberty?" |
2581 | I 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? |
2581 | Is a statesman,said he,"made to have feeling? |
2581 | What do they want of me? |
2581 | What do you want? |
2581 | What has become of the men of the Revolution? 2581 What remains then to fill this fearful void( in the finances)? |
2581 | Who is the rich man to- day? 2581 Why did I stop and sign the preliminaries of Leoben? |
2581 | With a bishop who is merely a damned fool, why are you so often away, etc.? |
2581 | Yes, but how maintain my army? 2581 You pass through Paris?" |

2581 | Did n''t that burly Soult want to be king of Portugal?" |
2581 | Do you know any man vile enough to take part in such contrivances? |
2581 | Do you suppose also that it is for the establishment of a republic? |
2581 | Does he imagine that they are fond of him personally? |
2581 | Does not public morality demand that it should be so considered? |
2581 | Eh, what do I care for your intelligence? |
2581 | Has any difficult task been accomplished? |
2581 | He has spoilt the finest reign Russia ever saw.... How can he admit to his society such men as a Stein, an Armfeld, a Vinzingerode? |
2581 | How can you imagine any man of talent or at all honorable contentedly playing the part of a hog fattening himself on a few millions?" |

2581 | Is he not wholly an eccentric personage, always alone by himself, he on one side and the world on the other? |
2581 | Is it for France or for himself that Napoleon works? |
2581 | Is it possible not to feel that one no longer has a country, that one is under constraint, wounded in feeling and humiliated?... |
2581 | Is it reasonable to work so hard for this, and is so slight an object worth so great an effort? |
2581 | Is it to have nothing, then, to have no parliaments, no provincial governments, no privileged classes, no clerical bodies, no nobility? |

2581 | who told you to come here and stir up my bile in this way? |
41914 | He cries,"Does one go to bed to be kept awake?" |
41914 | His only answer was the philosophic question,"How can I_ prove_ that I am not the gate of Hell?" |
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? 3897 And do you believe it improbable that the present disagreement between America and Spain is kept up by our intrigues and by our future views? 3897 What miserable pride, ye foolish kings, Still your deluded reason thus misleads? 3897 Would not a word from us settle in an instant at Madrid the differences as well as the frontiers of the contending parties in America? 3897 and this was true; for what can be common between honour and infamy, between virtue and vice? 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?" |
3885 | Does all this military display become a young Queen adored by her subjects?" |
3885 | Is it some general going to inspect his army? |
3885 | It was easy to detect the different motives which induced them every moment to repeat to every one the question:"How is the King?" |
3885 | What fate is reserved for the Comtesse du Barry? |
3885 | What influence will the royal aunts have,--and the Queen? |
3885 | Whom will the young King choose for his ministers? |
3885 | Will it be credited that the plans laid against Marie Antoinette went so far as divorce? |
3898 | But, you may ask, why do they not go back again to Germany? |
3898 | What would you think, were you to awake one morning the subject of King Arthur O''Connor the First? |
3898 | Who would have dared to say that the Prussian Eagle and the Spanish Golden Fleece should thus be prostituted, thus polluted? |
3898 | what shall I do to prevent my poor Madame Hus from being shot as an emigrant, and my poor children from becoming prematurely orphans?" |
3858 | But,I asked her,"how do you like getting up and going to church in the middle of the night?" |
3858 | Sire,cried the lady, terrified to death,"what are you doing?" |
3858 | What is the matter with you? |
3858 | Who are you? |
3858 | Why 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?" |
3858 | After it was made up she put it on, and, showing it to her husband, said,"Do not you think it is very beautiful?" |
3858 | But,"he said, turning himself slowly round,"who is the fool that asked me this question?" |
3858 | He one day said to Lord Douglas,"What should I do to gain the good- will of my countrymen?" |
3858 | He said to the former,"Why do you not go below and dance?" |
3858 | He smiled and said,"If I should die, shall I not have lived long enough?" |
3858 | I asked him what he proposed to do in France? |
3858 | One day a young Frenchman asked him,"How happened it that you lost the battle?" |
3858 | She replied,"Do people, then, in this country take no care of their servants?" |
3858 | The first question in the Heidelberg catechism is this:"What is thy only consolation in life and in death?" |
3858 | The lady called out,"Who is there?" |
3858 | The latter said,"Did he ever speak to you tenderly or passionately?" |
3858 | The poor gentleman was quite horror- stricken, and started back, crying,"For Heaven''s sake, madame, what are you going to do?" |
3858 | When he was requested to take any one into his service, his first question was,"Is he lucky?" |
3858 | When the marriage of Monsieur was declared, he said to Saint- Remi,"Did you know that I was married to the Princesse de Lorraine?" |
3858 | cried he,"M. de Geneve, my old friend? |
3858 | said his valet de chambre;"do you not mean to go to your wife?" |
3858 | what have I done to you, that you should wake me so early?" |
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?'' |
3852 | And you, too,replied his Majesty;"are you any the more sober for that? |
3852 | But your Madame de Maintenon,he resumed,"is she, too, one of the powers? |
3852 | Does she believe me hostile to your prosperity, my dear Marquise? |
3852 | Had 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? |
3852 | What became of you on leaving the King? |
3852 | What business is it of mine,I asked with vivacity,"to teach M. de Lauzun how to behave? |
3852 | What 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? |
3852 | What need has she of so many preliminary cautions,added the Marquise,"if it is to you that she desires to sell it? |
3852 | Would you have me, when he comes to me, bid him go elsewhere, to you or somebody else, it matters not? |
3852 | An absolute retreat? |
3852 | And the other said to her:"Madame de Maintenon? |
3852 | Are you in holy orders?" |
3852 | Does she wish you, then, to resign your office? |
3852 | How should she tolerate yours? |
3852 | Is it true that Madame de Montespan is no longer your friend? |
3852 | Is your young heart capable of it? |
3852 | NINON DE L''ENCLOS.--A departure? |
3852 | One day, of his own accord, he said to me:"How do you get on with Madame de Maintenon? |
3852 | The time for mass being come, Madame de Maintenon said to the fair Epicurean, with a smile:"You are one of us, are you not? |
3852 | Then to me,"You wish to sell your office without having first assured yourself whether it be pleasing to the King? |
3852 | What need have you to quarrel with Madame de Maintenon over a look, a word, a movement or a gesture? |
3852 | What would be the use of memoirs from which sincerity were absent? |
3852 | Whom could they inspire with a desire of reading them? |
3852 | Will you be sufficiently light- hearted, or sufficiently imprudent, to await on a counterscarp the rigours of December and January? |
19983 | And Monsieur le Marquis? |
19983 | Boat, sir, boat? |
19983 | Coach, sir, coach? |
19983 | Do you know that lady? |
19983 | Do you not think the Signorina exceedingly like Madame Pasta? |
19983 | Do you see Mademoiselle----, dancing in the set before you? |
19983 | Désirée, où est Désirée? |
19983 | Est- ce que monsieur compte me présenter tout ceci? |
19983 | Go and see what? |
19983 | How do you address this lady-- as Her Highness? |
19983 | How do you make that out, Sir William? |
19983 | How long do you mean to be absent? |
19983 | I hope you have breakfasted? |
19983 | Is America anywhere near Van Diemen''s Land? |
19983 | It is, indeed; what is your fare? |
19983 | London, sir, London? |
19983 | Savez- vous, mon ami, où est l''Hôtel d''Angleterre? |
19983 | Then why not adopt it? |
19983 | Were is Désirée? |
19983 | What do you think I_ ought_ to get for carrying this load,''sqire? |
19983 | Where? |
19983 | Why does she not bear his name, if that be the case? |
19983 | You 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?" |
19983 | After a moment''s delay the door was cautiously opened, and the captain, in his gruffest tone, demanded,"Cur vully voo?" |
19983 | After asking me a few questions concerning the country, he very coolly continued--"Et combien de temps avez- vous passé en Amérique, monsieur?" |
19983 | As 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?" |
19983 | But did I not condemn the want of historical truth in its pictures? |
19983 | But what is all this compared to the constant accessions of Europeans among ourselves? |
19983 | Can your experience suggest anything more? |
19983 | Did I not think he had done gross injustice to the noble and useful order of the Templars? |
19983 | Does this augur good or evil, for the world? |
19983 | He clearly does not love us; but what Englishman does? |
19983 | He related the story of M. Cloquet and the cancer, with great unction, and asked me what I thought of that? |
19983 | He who is all attention and smiles to the lady?" |
19983 | How is it with you?" |
19983 | How know we that such is not the origin of comets? |
19983 | I 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?" |
19983 | If 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?" |
19983 | If 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? |
19983 | If we are any better ourselves, is it not more owing to the absence of temptation, than to any other cause? |
19983 | In putting into the mouth of Falstaff the words,"Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn?" |
19983 | In what manner?" |
19983 | It could not possibly be the consumption of a country-- he did not say it, but he evidently thought it-- so insignificant and poor? |
19983 | Madame Pasta played_ Semiramide_"How do you like her?" |
19983 | Now will it be pretended that his right is lost, always providing that his own is the first_ American_ publication? |
19983 | Of what avails our beautiful glass, unless we know how to cut it? |
19983 | On entering, they eagerly inquired if"I had not been charmed, fascinated; if any thing could be better played, or more touching?" |
19983 | On whom do you imagine the curtain will rise? |
19983 | This startled A----, who, having full faith in my nautical experience, asked what we were to think of it? |
19983 | Were the earth dissolved into gases by fusion, what would become of its satellite the moon? |
19983 | What became of the precedency of the married lady all this time? |
19983 | What more could any reasonable man ask? |
19983 | When 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?" |
19983 | Why do not these people appear in America? |
19983 | Why should we go to the_ restaurateurs_ to eat? |
19983 | Will this happen? |
19983 | _ Tenez_--do you see that gentleman who is standing so assiduously near the chair of Madame de S----? |
19983 | exclaimed my country neighbour;"why so, sir?" |
19983 | mon frère!--que fais- tu?" |
19983 | my fancy, whither dost thou go?" |
19983 | or 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? |
19983 | or, do they come, and get absorbed, like all the rest, by the humane and popular tendencies of the country? |
3868 | What has happened? |
3868 | Why do you ask? |
3868 | Are these princes made like other human beings? |
3868 | But, my sister, what shall we do?" |
3868 | How could he defend himself? |
3868 | I saw distinctly the confusion of M. le Duc de Berry, and sweated at it; but what could be done? |
3868 | In my extreme surprise I asked him, what he expected would be the fruit of such violence? |
3868 | Is it not null as soon as it is unjust? |
3868 | She could not exist without meddling, and what is there for a superannuated woman to meddle with at Genoa? |
3868 | This studied negligence was of bad augury, but who would have imagined treatment so strange and so unheard of? |
3868 | Will the Ultramontanes admit the nullity of the excommunication? |
3868 | how interfere with their dark designs? |
3868 | replied the Abbe, in a tone of sadness,"where have I been? |
3868 | replied the Cardinal;"why, who has any teeth?" |
3868 | shut up as the King was, how oppose them? |
42367 | But, at our age,she asked,"who can question our intimacy, or prevent me taking care of you?" |
42367 | And d''Artagnan? |
42367 | Early 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?" |
42367 | He asks:"Who can stay long from the Place Royale?" |
42367 | He overheard one of them, as he entered the office one day, say:"I''ve done my hour of Balzac; who takes him next?" |
3892 | How 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? |
3892 | to deserve such treatment?" |
3856 | But the honour which is lost in it,said I,"how will you repair that?" |
3856 | But, Monsieur,I have said,"they are your children as well as mine, why do you not correct them?" |
3856 | How can I,said Grancey,"be reconciled to Madame de Bouillon, after all the wicked things she has said about me?" |
3856 | I suppose, Monsieur,said he,"you come from the army?" |
3856 | In that case, I imagine you are living at Paris with your family? |
3856 | Is it my fault,he rejoined,"that she is dead? |
3856 | What can I do? |
3856 | What 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? |
3856 | What will you do, then? |
3856 | Why do you disturb yourself? |
3856 | Will you take a walk, or play at some game? |
3856 | Will you work? |
3856 | You arrive here, then, from your country house? |
3856 | At length she did; and said that the Marechale d''Estrees was continually asking her,"What are you always doing with that old woman? |
3856 | But how could a journeyman gardener know the language which ought to be addressed to crowned heads? |
3856 | Can the Devil himself be worse than this bastard? |
3856 | I am very sorry that I made the mistake; but what right had she to read a letter which was not meant for her? |
3856 | Instead of being vexed at this, she laughed, and said,"Has not everybody some weakness? |
3856 | Old Maintenon said to me angrily,"Do you think you know better than all these medical men?" |
3856 | Sandrazky was at my toilette the day before yesterday; as he looked melancholy, I asked him what was the matter? |
3856 | She said arrogantly, and yet my son kept his temper,"Is not the Dauphine dead?" |
3856 | The valet asked him,"What news?" |
3856 | There are dogs and a beautiful forest; will you hunt?" |
3856 | These servants were in the habit of saying to each other,"Come, shall we go and play with the Duchess of Burgundy?" |
3856 | Those who were about her said,"Mon Dieu, Madame, you are eaten up with ennui; will you not take some amusement? |
3856 | Was she immortal?" |
3856 | When I tell him that he is too good, he says,"Is it not better to be good than bad?" |
3856 | When she was dying, she cried,"Ah, mon Dieu, must I die, who have never once thought of death?" |
3856 | Why do you not associate with folks who would amuse you more than that old skeleton?" |
3856 | in their name; and is not what Pompadour has acknowledged voluntarily quite as satisfactory a proof as even their own writing? |
3856 | said the King,"do you know better than the doctors?" |
34838 | Am I right? |
34838 | An arm? 34838 How so?" |
34838 | Where are you going? |
34838 | Which has been the happiest age of humanity? |
34838 | Why am I not my grandson? |
34838 | Am I to make them?" |
34838 | Am I, then, dead?" |
34838 | And what did he do? |
34838 | But how should the retreat be conducted? |
34838 | Caulaincourt, of course, would necessarily be one; Ney, dangerous if thwarted, must be the second; and the third? |
34838 | Could it be that the sly schemer, for the furtherance of his ambition to govern France, was about to turn traitor and betray the coalition? |
34838 | Did Talleyrand''s duplicity and meanness render less valuable or permanent the work he did in thwarting the coalition at Vienna? |
34838 | Do you know what I ought to do? |
34838 | Do you know what is more difficult to bear than the reverses of fortune? |
34838 | Does his personality throw any light on the antecedent period-- does his career influence the succeeding years? |
34838 | Had he forgotten the murder of Enghien? |
34838 | He 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? |
34838 | He 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? |
34838 | His artificial aristocracy, his system of great fiefs, his financial shifts-- who dares to say that these institutions did not meet a temporary want? |
34838 | If, then, Napoleon was after all but a plain man, how did he become a personage? |
34838 | In other words, is it likely that the third French republic could have been the direct successor of the first? |
34838 | Napoleon rejoined that he had thought of that; but, having always sought to do England harm, would the English make him welcome? |
34838 | Only once he seemed overpowered, being observed, as he sat at table, to strike his forehead and murmur:"God, is it possible?" |
34838 | Should he appear at dawn before the Tuileries, summon the troops already in Paris, and prorogue the hated chambers, or should he not? |
34838 | Should the Czar assent to the regency, where would Marmont be? |
34838 | Should these fateful syllables be written over the mortal remains of Napoleon Bonaparte? |
34838 | The persistent critics of Frederick have been asking and reiterating questions such as these: Why did not the king begin early in July, 1756? |
34838 | To Ney''s demand for infantry the Emperor replied:"Where do you expect me to get them from? |
34838 | To whom did this highest official authority address itself? |
34838 | Was Catharine II of Russia a mere damned soul because of her harlotries? |
34838 | Was consistency, as generally understood, to be expected in this personage; is it, indeed, found in most great men? |
34838 | Was it a life- and- death struggle for ascendancy in the western world? |
34838 | Was the struggle of these two glorious and enlightened sister nations a struggle for territorial ascendancy in Europe? |
34838 | Was the work of Alexander the Great worthless because of his debaucheries? |
34838 | Was this the end, and did Napoleon have no place in history, as many historians have lately been contending? |
34838 | What are its other important members? |
34838 | What could a distracted partizan do? |
34838 | What could be substituted for it? |
34838 | What for? |
34838 | What single mind could grapple with such affairs? |
34838 | What was the basis of the long conflict between England and France to which Napoleon fell heir? |
34838 | What, then, was the cause? |
34838 | Who should constitute the embassy to present the document to the Czar? |
34838 | Whose was the responsibility for this disgrace to civilization? |
34838 | Why did he not continue the war in October? |
34838 | Why did he not renew hostilities the following year until forced to it? |
34838 | Why did he not storm the camp of Pirna? |
34838 | Why did he rise, and what did he accomplish? |
34838 | Why did they not let me die? |
34838 | Would destiny have paused in its career? |
34838 | Your fathers are threatened by a restoration of titles, of privilege, and of feudal rights; is it not so?" |
34838 | why am I not my grandson?" |
27289 | A fortnight would be necessary to bring it once more under the standards; and how can we find a fortnight? 27289 And Napoleon II, did no one think of him?" |
27289 | But why expose yourself thus? 27289 Did you know my hussars nearly captured you?" |
27289 | How does your Majesty pass the time at Memel? |
27289 | Is Joseph,the Emperor said, in an interview with Roederer,"to talk like an Englishman or behave like Talleyrand? |
27289 | Leave Holland to the enemy? 27289 May not the peace of Tilsit, which I made, carry some obligations with it?" |
27289 | Not a gun? 27289 Shall we talk of rags at such a solemn moment?" |
27289 | Very well; but which would esteem you the highest? |
27289 | What does your Majesty read? |
27289 | What was I to do? |
27289 | Which of your works do you prefer? |
27289 | Yes, I understand; but which one would be for you the foremost among women? |
27289 | ("Quelle femme?" |
27289 | Alexander had said at the outset that his prejudice against Napoleon disappeared at first sight, and later he exclaimed,"Why did we not meet sooner?" |
27289 | And what was his conduct? |
27289 | But Prussia? |
27289 | But 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? |
27289 | But how about the efficiency and zeal of men and officers? |
27289 | But was this in reality the only outlet for the French empire to the East? |
27289 | Could the Czar apologize for such a deed? |
27289 | Did they mean to put him in a convent and whip him like Louis the Pious? |
27289 | For his purposes he must ask, Whence can I best strike? |
27289 | Had the abdication been a free act or not? |
27289 | Had the true, complex Napoleon in his supposed communing asked the question, What then? |
27289 | He did not ask, How will my foe behave? |
27289 | How did Napoleon win victories? |
27289 | How did he regulate his inner life? |
27289 | How did he rule men? |
27289 | How much longer, Alexander must have asked himself, could this state of things continue? |
27289 | If 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? |
27289 | In despair she blurted out,"General, what woman could you love the most?" |
27289 | Is it wonderful that under such provocation Napoleon''s hot Corsican blood boiled over, or that his unruly tongue uttered startling language? |
27289 | Nominate a new king?" |
27289 | Not a prisoner?" |
27289 | On April twenty- fifth the latter wrote to Talleyrand:"Was I to send my soldiers so lightly into Sweden? |
27289 | Should he accede to Ferdinand''s desire, formally communicated in a letter sent by Escoiquiz on October twelfth? |
27289 | Should he advance or await a further movement of the enemy? |
27289 | The natural question, Why? |
27289 | Then Napoleon asked the stock query which he so often put to scholars and men of letters:"Which has been the happiest age of humanity?" |
27289 | Was he to be left to his fate? |
27289 | Was he, he said in fierce disappointment, to be compelled to adopt his bastard children? |
27289 | Was the ancient monarchy really to be humiliated and remain permanently dismembered? |
27289 | Was the vast structure he had so laboriously erected now to fall in one crash at his feet? |
27289 | We may reach Vilna-- can we maintain ourselves there? |
27289 | What must I not have said to you? |
27289 | What must be the necessary result if the continental embargo were more thoroughly enforced? |
27289 | What reproaches could she not have heaped on me? |
27289 | What safety was there for the army in retreat? |
27289 | What was to be done? |
27289 | What were his family relations? |
27289 | Where best could they employ them? |
27289 | Where would we have been if I had not spoken of it to my mother? |
27289 | Who can measure the fascination under which the young enthusiast fell at first sight? |
27289 | Whom would he choose? |
27289 | Why did you not wait for me at Weimar?" |
27289 | Why was he now so firm? |
27289 | Why,"he concluded,"has anything been said about the difference in religion, when at the outset the Emperor declared it would be no obstacle?" |
27289 | Would the Czar make a separate peace? |
27289 | Yes, peace; but of what kind? |
27289 | no results from such carnage?" |
3848 | And Boileau, Sire? |
3848 | And what about me, Sire? |
3848 | And you submit without a murmur to such appalling exile? |
3848 | Did you meet with any good friends among your associates? |
3848 | Do you think there is any objection to our giving to little Vegin the dress of an abbe? |
3848 | Do you think you will be able to manage them, madame? |
3848 | Have you reckoned the distance? 3848 How do you mean, Sire?" |
3848 | Is it your intention to condemn my son to be an ecclesiastic? |
3848 | Is such a pretty, charming person as yourself fitted for a Court of that kind, and for such an odd sort of climate? |
3848 | Madame,inquired the brigadier,"have you not been in a nunnery?" |
3848 | Married? 3848 On leaving the convent, where did you go?" |
3848 | Pray, monsieur, why do you ask? |
3848 | So, in your treasure- house at Saint Denis you keep all the crowns of all the reigns? |
3848 | Then,said I,"you will forgive me, wo n''t you, for having given birth to him?" |
3848 | What, may it please your Majesty, shall I get from the distribution of all these favours and emoluments? |
3848 | Will my son, on receiving this abbey, have to wear the dress of his office? |
3848 | With all their rubies, diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds? |
3848 | Yes, Sire, and where could they be better guarded than with us? 3848 You, madame?" |
3848 | Your daughter? 3848 But has she any right to act in this way? 3848 But why did you want to get married? |
3848 | Did the Princess confess that she was going to carry you off to the other end of the world? |
3848 | Do n''t you think I am able to get her properly married?" |
3848 | Do you think her capable of contributing to your pleasure or your happiness? |
3848 | Does your niece''s coronation provide you also with illusions?" |
3848 | How comes it that the King, who in face is her living image, does not desire to be like her in heart? |
3848 | I continued;"what place among your favourites does he fill?" |
3848 | In fact, his name in no way fits so charming a personality as yours; would it grieve you to change it?" |
3848 | Is not the King powerful enough to effect this?" |
3848 | Is she wrong or is she right? |
3848 | It seemed to me the King flushed slightly as he rejoined,"A sovereign on his feet, or a sovereign overthrown?" |
3848 | Oh, young lady, what behaviour is this? |
3848 | One 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? |
3848 | The King looked impassively at my sister, showing not a sign of emotion, and he said to her:"Do you visit there?" |
3848 | Then, turning to me, he observed,"You make no remark, madame? |
3848 | What was your motive for leaving these ladies, and who enabled you to do so?" |
3848 | What, madame, are you married? |
3848 | When 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? |
3848 | Will you do me the favour of being as amusing some other time, if I venture to make one of the party?" |
16245 | And who will enable us to pardon ourselves, if we cover ourselves with such infamy? |
16245 | Do you think,said he to M. Balasheff,"that I care a straw for these Polish jacobins?" |
16245 | What do you want? |
16245 | A man at Geneva said to me,"Do not you think that the prefect declares his opinion with a great deal of frankness?" |
16245 | After having sacrificed the ancient honor of his house, what strength remained to him of any kind? |
16245 | And what is the consequence of this servile obedience? |
16245 | And what reply did he make you? |
16245 | And why did he torment me in this manner? |
16245 | And will there never arise a man superior to this man, who will demonstrate its inutility? |
16245 | And yet, what would become of a country governed despotically, if a lawless tyrant had not to dread the edge of the poniard? |
16245 | But by what road to get to Sweden? |
16245 | But is not this deplorable system still in full sway in Europe? |
16245 | But the people are slaves, it will be said: what character therefore can they be supposed to have? |
16245 | But what came Bonaparte to offer? |
16245 | But who knows if the virtues which this war has developed, may not be exactly those which are likely to regenerate nations? |
16245 | But why should not you leave it then? |
16245 | But, in short, what destiny is there, great or little, which the man selected to humble man does not overthrow? |
16245 | By what could this rage have been provoked? |
16245 | Can she not live well and sleep well in a good house?" |
16245 | Did he bring a greater liberty to foreign nations? |
16245 | Has not General Bernadotte already taken the side of making peace with England?" |
16245 | Have you seen the Chinese town? |
16245 | His fellow citizens? |
16245 | How was it possible, after this horrible action, for a single monarch in Europe to connect himself with such a man? |
16245 | I answered,"do n''t you see that this can only be a report spread by the enemies of France?" |
16245 | I heard continually buzzing about me the commonplaces with which the world suffers itself to be led:"Has not she plenty of money? |
16245 | I will give orders for it: a residence in Paris? |
16245 | In short, what is it she wishes?" |
16245 | In the midst of all this noise, is there any room for love? |
16245 | In what did it then consist? |
16245 | It 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? |
16245 | Necessity, will it be said? |
16245 | Opinion was in favor of the Duke d''Enghien, in favor of Moreau, in favor of Pichegru:--was it able to save them? |
16245 | Should I return to my father, or should I go into Germany? |
16245 | There 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? |
16245 | To what miserable shifts are those princes reduced, who are constantly told that they must yield to circumstances? |
16245 | Was he in the right in doing away as much as he could, oriental manners from the bosom of his people? |
16245 | Was it necessary since that to be continually hearing of the triumphs of him who made his successes fall indiscriminately upon the heads of all? |
16245 | Was it possible that a foreign tyrant should reduce me to wish that the French should be beat? |
16245 | Was it right to punish such a being for the crime which his arm had committed? |
16245 | Was not thy wife fair and good? |
16245 | Wert thou then unhappy on this earth? |
16245 | What is it then I see, in advancing towards the North? |
16245 | What resources therefore could remain to him? |
16245 | What would war do, in the midst of such peaceable establishments? |
16245 | Where could these doves fly to, from the arms of the conqueror? |
16245 | Where is his country? |
16245 | Why is it, say they, that thou hast abandoned us? |
16245 | Why therefore hast thou left her? |
16245 | Why, said he to me yesterday, why does not Madame de Stael attach herself to my government? |
16245 | Will this oath ever allow me to revisit beautiful France? |
16245 | Will you, I was asked, buy some Cashmere shawls in the Tartar quarter? |
16245 | and have not the powerful of the earth carefully gathered up the shameful inheritance of him whom they have overthrown? |
16245 | and out of so many victories, has there ever arisen a single gleam of happiness for poor France? |
16245 | the payment of the deposit of her father? |
16245 | was it right to fix his capital in the north, and at the extremity of his empire? |
16245 | what is it she wants? |
16245 | what is it without independent organs to express it? |
16245 | what is it without the authority of law? |
3851 | But,said the King,"were the confessions, then, null?" |
3851 | Has Madame de Mortemart ever related to you the origin of her abbey? |
3851 | Have you invited the Benedictine Fathers to your fete in the wood? |
3851 | Have you paid dear for this property? |
3851 | Is 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? |
3851 | It is the President Gonthier who has sold it? |
3851 | Madame,he said,"are you still quite satisfied with young Brisacier, your private secretary?" |
3851 | On what grounds? |
3851 | To the King of Poland!--I? 3851 To what family does she belong?" |
3851 | What do you call her? |
3851 | What,he asked me,"are those buildings with which you are busy in Paris, opposite the Ladies of Belle- Chasse? |
3851 | Where shall I find his like? |
3851 | Where shall I find such knowledge, such indulgence, such kindness? 3851 Who can count upon the morrow? |
3851 | Why have you recommended him to the King of Poland, instead of recommending him to me directly? |
3851 | Why this air of contempt or aversion? |
3851 | Will you accept,I asked her,"supposing the King to insist?" |
3851 | All the French being your subjects, would it not be fitting to grant this distinction sometimes to the one and sometimes to the other? |
3851 | And at bottom, what should any insect gain by being proud?" |
3851 | And for the remainder of my little family, what have I yet done that deserves mention?" |
3851 | How could you believe him constant and immutable, after what happened to me? |
3851 | How is it you did not expect it? |
3851 | I am going to establish him; would it be agreeable to you if I give him your livery?" |
3851 | I hear of a convent; is it your intention to retire?" |
3851 | Why do you give yourself this torture?" |
3851 | You will send me some''touru'', for I am very fond of it?" |
3886 | For what? |
3886 | I will take this one, and provide for all the rest; do you consent? |
3886 | Is his mother alive? |
3886 | They had not? |
3886 | --"Have you a memorial?" |
3886 | --"How so, Madame?" |
3886 | After talking of our most celebrated authors, he casually said,"There are doubtless no works on finance or on administration here?" |
3886 | Can we be astonished at the part shortly afterwards taken by the deputies of the Third Estate, when called to the States General? |
3886 | Is it not droll?" |
3886 | The people near him said,"What are you about? |
3886 | What would you have more? |
3886 | Who would have dared to check the amusements of a queen, young, lively, and handsome? |
3886 | Would you have the first a general and the second a bishop? |
3886 | d''Orville?" |
3886 | roared out the enraged musician;"we must describe the Greeks; and had the Greeks chaconnes?" |
28199 | Are you not esteemed by all the powers? 28199 But what,"rejoined the princess,"will Europe think? |
28199 | Madame,replied Chateaubriand,"may I venture to inquire of you what is the intention of the Duke of Orleans? |
28199 | Under these circumstances,inquired Lafitte,"what is it you have to propose to me?" |
28199 | What are you doing? |
28199 | What are your opinions upon the subject of an hereditary peerage? |
28199 | What do you wish with me? |
28199 | What will become of us to- morrow? |
28199 | Which monarchy? |
28199 | You 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? |
28199 | After them a child is called to the succession; and who will venture to condemn his innocence? |
28199 | And the washer- women were asking,"Why should we toil at the tub, and Citizeness Orleans ride in her carriage and dress in satins? |
28199 | And what course can you propose preferable to that of placing the crown on his head?" |
28199 | And where can we find any candidate for the throne who combines so many advantages? |
28199 | But do you think that in the present state of France a republican government can be adopted?" |
28199 | But the Duke of Orleans-- what prestige surrounds him? |
28199 | But what could be expected when nothing is listened to? |
28199 | Did these heroic people do right in thus resisting tyranny and contending for liberty at the price of their blood? |
28199 | Did these heroic troops do right in thus proving faithful to their oaths, their colors, and their king? |
28199 | Do you wish to save the monarchy?" |
28199 | Does Lafayette very sincerely desire a Republic?" |
28199 | Have I been as discreet, prudent, charitable, modest, and courageous as may be expected at my age? |
28199 | Have I been docile, grateful, and attentive to my teachers? |
28199 | Have I been perfectly sincere to- day, disobliging no one, and speaking evil of no one? |
28199 | Have I behaved with mildness and kindness towards my sister and my brothers? |
28199 | Have I done all the good I could? |
28199 | Have I fulfilled all my duties this day towards those I ought to love most in the world-- my father and my mother? |
28199 | Have I shown all the marks of attention I ought to the persons, present or absent, to whom I owe kindness, respect, and affection? |
28199 | Have I shown no proof of that weakness or effeminacy which is so contemptible in a man? |
28199 | Have I this day fulfilled all my duties towards God, my Creator, and prayed to Him with fervor and affection? |
28199 | Having rung the bell, a Capuchin friar appeared at the casement and inquired,"What do you want?" |
28199 | Heir to the imperial tradition, might he not be the choice of the people? |
28199 | His 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?'' |
28199 | His sight became dim, and he inquired,"Caroline, are you there?" |
28199 | How can he now, thus burdened with kindnesses from the elder branch of the Bourbons, seize upon their inheritance?" |
28199 | How have you contrived to be made a general so soon?" |
28199 | How many of the people know his history, or have even heard his name?" |
28199 | I 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? |
28199 | If 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?" |
28199 | If so, what government would succeed? |
28199 | In the feeble accents of approaching death, the duke inquired,"Who is the man who has killed me? |
28199 | Is your majesty resolved on proceeding, should your ministers draw back?'' |
28199 | It is asked in vain, What crime has he committed? |
28199 | Ledru Rollin, following in the same strain, said,"Have we arms, ammunition, combatants ready? |
28199 | Might it not demand the overthrow of a dynasty? |
28199 | Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, With hireling hosts, a ruffian band, Affright and desolate the land, While peace and liberty lie bleeding? |
28199 | Shall we have one Republic, or twenty Republics? |
28199 | Should he allow himself to be made king by the bankers in Paris? |
28199 | Tell me, on your word of honor, is the army which has marched out of Paris against me really eighty thousand strong?" |
28199 | The Abbé Gregoire is reported to have exclaimed in disgust,"Good God, are we then to have both a republic and a king?" |
28199 | The king angrily replied,"Who is responsible for the blood which has been shed? |
28199 | Then with extreme emotion she replied to M. Scheffer, the speaker of the party:"How could you undertake such a mission? |
28199 | Upon the utterance of that fatal word, the king inquired anxiously,"Is there no other alternative?" |
28199 | Was France to be plunged into anarchy by the conflict of these rival parties? |
28199 | Was Napoleon himself able to admit it? |
28199 | What are your ideas upon the treaties of 1815?" |
28199 | What do you think about it?" |
28199 | What has he done? |
28199 | What have you to do with him?" |
28199 | What more are we waiting for?" |
28199 | What prince is more liberal in his political sentiments, or more free from those prejudices which have ruined Charles X.? |
28199 | What right have the people of Paris to impose a government, by their vote, on the people of Marseilles? |
28199 | What 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? |
28199 | What will become of me?" |
28199 | When the question was asked of Louis Philippe,"What are your ideas upon the treaties of 1815?" |
28199 | Where would all this lead to? |
28199 | Will he accept the crown, if it is offered to him?" |
28199 | Would the triumphant populace be satisfied merely with a change of ministry? |
28199 | a federal union, or a commonwealth one and indivisible? |
28199 | descended to mount the scaffold? |
28199 | exclaimed the baron,"what are his titles to the crown? |
28199 | inquired Lafitte,"the monarchy of 1789, or the constitutional monarchy of 1814?" |
28199 | les gens de son Altesse Royale?_''I was almost stunned by the noise. |
3869 | But,replied the King,"did you not tell him''twas I who had placed you?" |
3869 | Oh,said Biron,"I know that very well; but have you any letter from him?" |
3869 | What for? |
3869 | What is the matter, then, may I ask? |
3869 | Why not? |
3869 | Why, 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? |
3869 | At the same time, who was there who did not deplore the pride, the caprice, the bad taste seen in them? |
3869 | Do you know what I was reading? |
3869 | His buildings, who could number them? |
3869 | Is it because you thought me immortal? |
3869 | The King piqued, turned towards his suite, and said:"That''s Louvois''s trade, is it not? |
3869 | The King, who easily perceived this, asked him the cause of his embarrassment; what he was passing over, and why? |
3869 | They heard him repeatedly say to himself, musing profoundly,"Will he? |
3869 | What do you wish to be?" |
3869 | Who can doubt this? |
3869 | Who could have believed it? |
3869 | Will he be made to? |
3869 | Will it be believed? |
3869 | You stick to your text, you wo n''t have the finances?" |
3869 | what will you be?" |
3888 | We must, however, fly,said the Queen to me, shortly afterwards;"who knows how far the factious may go? |
3888 | Wherefore all these guns? |
3888 | Will you kill your mothers, your wives, your children? |
3888 | The King replied in accents of profound sensibility:"Cubieres, the French loved Henri IV., and what king ever better deserved to be beloved?" |
3888 | The Queen broke silence and said to the King,"Do you hear, Sire, what Campan says to us?" |
3888 | The principal charge against him was founded on a letter from M. de Foucault, asking him,"where are your troops? |
3888 | The silence of death reigned throughout the palace; they hardly dared hope that the King would return? |
3888 | for your King instead of Louis XVI.?" |
3888 | in which direction will they enter Paris? |
3888 | will it be yesterday over again? |
3888 | will it be yesterday over again?" |
3887 | And how many years shall you require,said the King,"if the advances are not punctually made?" |
3887 | And the Cardinal told you all this? |
3887 | But what if the original, signed by yourself, were shown to you? |
3887 | But,said Boehmer,"the answer to the letter I presented to her,--to whom must I apply for that?" |
3887 | For what can the Queen owe you so extravagant a sum? |
3887 | Have you lost your senses? |
3887 | It will not be played, then? |
3887 | Money, M. Boehmer? 3887 What are your creditors to me?" |
3887 | What have you done with them? |
3887 | Who commissioned you? |
3887 | But, monsieur,"pursued the King, handing him a copy of his letter to Baehmer,"have you ever written such a letter as this?" |
3887 | Did you not tell me you had sold it at Constantinople?" |
3887 | Do you know what happened to me lately? |
3887 | He said to the Marquis de Montesquiou, who was going to see the first representation,''Well, what do you augur of its success?'' |
3887 | How 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? |
3887 | The King declined my offer, and said to me,"Were you alone when Boehmer told you this?" |
3887 | The King said to him,"You have purchased diamonds of Boehmer?" |
3887 | What have I done to them?" |
44334 | Addressing himself to a young Englishman who was in his camp, he said,"Have you ever seen how a battle is lost?" |
44334 | Does not this picture imply that Woman at all ages holds in her hand the Empire of the World?" |
44334 | For 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? |
44334 | Or was it not rather the intention of Raphael to represent the_ Three Ages of Womanly Beauty_? |
44334 | The Duc d''Aumale expresses himself about it in the following terms:"Are these really the_ Three Graces_ whom we have here before us? |
44334 | To the complaints of her Italian courtiers that she spent too much money upon her compatriots she replied,"_ Que voulez- vous? |
44334 | Was this her Majesty''s gratitude for the victories he had gained against the enemies of France? |
3896 | But where do you intend to show it for money? |
3896 | Where is it now? |
3896 | And am I not a Frenchman? |
3896 | And as to his money? |
3896 | And his arms? |
3896 | And is he not a foreigner? |
3896 | Have you any doubt that his ambition and vanity extend beyond the grave? |
3896 | He answered:"Do you not remember your brother''s jockey, Prial?" |
3896 | Were not most of the Field- marshals and generals under him now, above him ten years ago? |
3896 | Who are the conspirators hailing the Prince as their chief? |
3896 | Who can explain this contradiction? |
3896 | you 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? |
35768 | But how is it? 35768 How seldom is so numerous a family entitled to so much praise? |
35768 | The 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? |
35768 | Your 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?" |
35768 | One of these characteristic anecdotes was as follows:"Joseph,"said the Emperor to me one day,"T----[AO] has infinite ability, has he not? |
35768 | Since then, at Naples, in Spain, has that character been falsified? |
35768 | The consciousness of not having merited the abandonment of which you speak, is not that a happy sentiment? |
35768 | The star of my brother, will it always shine luminous and brilliant in the skies? |
35768 | Those who have borne arms against their country, against their benefactor, who have sold their services to foreigners, think you they can be happy? |
35768 | Was he not rescued with them, and did he not owe to the disaster at Waterloo his return to France? |
35768 | Was there no other man in France more worthy to take temporarily the helm of state? |
35768 | Well, do you know why he has never accomplished any thing great? |
35768 | When shall I finish my dictatorship? |
35768 | When were traitors ever before allowed to live free in a capital-- wretches who had plotted against the State? |
35768 | Who would wear the crown about to be vacated? |
35768 | Why do you speak of the services rendered to the arts and the sciences by the religious orders? |
35768 | Why should I not say this? |
35768 | Will it be the same in the new realm which awaits me? |
35768 | Will this be done? |
35768 | Would Louis, Lucien, or one of Napoleon''s marshals succeed Joseph? |
35768 | Would the Two Sicilies be annexed to the kingdom of Italy under Eugene? |
35768 | named him lieutenant- general of the realm, and regent of his grandson? |
35768 | to the Theatre Francais or to the Opera?'' |
35768 | where shall we look for her equal? |
3871 | And M. le Comte de Toulouse? |
3871 | And if they are not? |
3871 | But if they commit some absurdity, or leave Paris? |
3871 | But what is the meaning of all this? |
3871 | How, acquainted with? |
3871 | What is the matter? |
3871 | And then turning to the Keeper of the Seals,"Monsieur, will you read the declaration?" |
3871 | At this moment the Marechal de Villeroy, full of his own thoughts, muttered between his teeth,"But will the Parliament come?" |
3871 | But how to send such an account as this? |
3871 | But now the question arose, where are the prisoners to be put? |
3871 | But where was Madame Sforze? |
3871 | How often was he firm in carrying them out? |
3871 | I advanced a few steps towards her, and at her third appeal, I said:"Madame, you know nothing then?" |
3871 | I asked Biron what it was? |
3871 | I bent my head a little while looking fixedly at him, as though to say,"Well, what then?" |
3871 | Might not M. le Duc d''Orleans falter at the last moment? |
3871 | Might not all our preparations, so carefully conducted, so cleverly planned, weigh upon his feebleness until they fell to the ground? |
3871 | She rose as soon as I appeared, and said to me, with eagerness,"Well, Monsieur, what news?" |
3871 | Then turning towards M. le Duc, he added,"Monsieur, will you explain it?" |
3871 | What more natural than that the two young men should travel in company? |
3871 | What news bring you?" |
3871 | Worn out at last, I said,"News? |
3871 | exclaimed she;"what has happened?" |
3871 | he demanded;"where are these gentlemen?" |
40306 | What was this garden? |
40306 | Did 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? |
40306 | Do I love you?" |
40306 | How often have we lingered in front of the old books or new ones, turning over the leaves, or reading between two pages yet uncut? |
40306 | Was it her husband that they were bringing home dead? |
40306 | Why these everlasting, culpable mutilations, which I know are a grief to Monsieur Périer, the eminent Director of the Museum? |
40306 | Why?... |
40306 | Would justice at last act and severity be shown? |
40306 | buildings? |
40306 | this fine palace be condemned soon to disappear? |
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?'' |
3884 | For unmasking those wretches who want a bigot for a King?'' |
3884 | For what? |
3884 | He one day asked one of his most familiar servants,''What do they say in Paris of that great fool of a Dauphin?'' |
3884 | The field of honour has witnessed ours; but where are we to look for yours? |
3884 | The next day the King at his levee, as soon as he perceived Landsmath, said,''Have you done as I desired you, Landsmath?'' |
3884 | Was it not drying up the source of all the advantages they enjoyed, or could hope for?" |
3884 | What country can you possibly come from then?'' |
3884 | What interest could the courtiers have in seeking her destruction, which involved that of the King? |
3884 | What more could Madame Campan wish? |
3884 | What remained of her former power? |
3884 | What savage greatness did they discover in stirring up a whole nation to avenge their quarrel on a woman? |
3884 | What urgent reasons of state could Danton, Collot d''Herbois, and Robespierre allege against her? |
3884 | said Landsmath, angrily;''has your Majesty been procuring the certificate of my baptism?'' |
21996 | Are not German names taboo? |
21996 | Did many travelers come to Mougins from America? |
21996 | Did you know Lamy? |
21996 | Do any fat men live up here? |
21996 | Had you looked up before you spoke? |
21996 | Is it old and all right? |
21996 | Perhaps we can drive down through the city-- why not? |
21996 | Pierre,I cried,"where did you drop from? |
21996 | Say, where is this town Fréjus? |
21996 | So 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? |
21996 | What do you say,_ mon vieux_? |
21996 | Where is Fréjus? |
21996 | Why not? |
21996 | Why should one poke around a church, especially at night and this night? |
21996 | And another world even from that of the rest of the French Riviera? |
21996 | And in the brief time that we are a- wing, do we really love unusual sights and novel things? |
21996 | And when I told you that I had seen Lamy playing as a boy on the spot where his statue stands? |
21996 | And where would it go after you opened the waste- pipe? |
21996 | And you are an American, are n''t you?" |
21996 | Are Germans and Russians disturbing the peace of Europe any more or any differently than Northern Europeans have always done? |
21996 | But could a chorus of milkmaids to satisfy New York or Paris be recruited outside New York or Paris? |
21996 | But could we correct the mistake? |
21996 | But in the twilight, what skeptic, what Puritan resists the call to worship of the Catholic ritual? |
21996 | But is it known that he is responsible for the most exquisite of scents of milady''s boudoir? |
21996 | But we? |
21996 | But why another world? |
21996 | Did we not agree that Villeneuve- Loubet was superb? |
21996 | Do fruit blossoms, utilitarian embryo, compare for a minute with real flowers? |
21996 | Even when they are of one''s own blood, is there inspiration in the daily reminder of heroes? |
21996 | Had there been a gate in her grandmother''s time? |
21996 | Had we been hurrying through toward Grasse in automobile or tram, we would probably have exclaimed"how picturesque"or"interesting, is n''t it?" |
21996 | Had 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? |
21996 | Have you been mistaken? |
21996 | Have you ever lived in a wagon, Monsieur? |
21996 | How could they get a hold on the sand with some tentacles while others were grabbing you? |
21996 | How do I know? |
21996 | How do you manage when the rock is frozen over with snow and ice?" |
21996 | How many from Mougins have followed Lamy''s example? |
21996 | How much did the Englishman''s love of the Riviera have to do with the Entente Cordiale? |
21996 | How was the music going? |
21996 | I would surely be lacking in my duty--""What is Mougins?" |
21996 | If they had limitations, would they have wanted to come? |
21996 | If this was learning to fly, what was flying? |
21996 | In buildings and villagers have you found anything as fascinating as that purple and red on the mountain snow over there? |
21996 | In exploring, is not our greatest joy and delight in finding something familiar, something we have already known, something we are used to? |
21996 | In 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?) |
21996 | Is 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? |
21996 | Is not lavender the only scent in the world that does not lose by an overdose? |
21996 | Is she going to watch the sunset? |
21996 | Is there any place desirable for living purposes in which the railway does not obtrude? |
21996 | Is wisteria useful? |
21996 | No? |
21996 | Perhaps we were artists? |
21996 | Put them all under the same dispensation and where would be your races? |
21996 | Since human nature is the same the world over, is it surprising that the tricks calculated to captivate and deceive are the same? |
21996 | Sorry for me, were you not? |
21996 | The 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?" |
21996 | To whom was the mediocrity? |
21996 | Trout? |
21996 | Unless you have come to Cagnes to stay?" |
21996 | Was not her lot, cast in this picturesque spot, most enviable? |
21996 | Was not that a reason for going there? |
21996 | What equals the color of the judas- tree in bloom? |
21996 | What 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? |
21996 | What part did the Riviera play in the Franco- Russian Alliance? |
21996 | What was our impression of her country? |
21996 | What was the difference in the process? |
21996 | When had we arrived at Villeneuve- Loubet? |
21996 | When promises are difficult to keep, where are the men of their word? |
21996 | Where can that sewer empty? |
21996 | Where would the hot water and cold water come from? |
21996 | Who has not eaten salt pork on a cattle ranch and longed for cream on a dairy farm? |
21996 | Who wanted to see Corsica any longer? |
21996 | Why is it that some of the most delicate things are associated with the pig, who is himself far from delicate? |
21996 | Why should one go from the city to the country to breathe tar and gasoline? |
21996 | Why 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? |
21996 | Why, when so much of a former age had disappeared, did this half- arch remain? |
21996 | Would they be given time to leave the country? |
21996 | You may have a confused picture, you may even forget many places you have visited in your travels, but Villefranche? |
11996 | And why, pray? |
11996 | Au pied de ce monumentOu le bon Henri respire"Pourquoi l''airain foudroyant? |
11996 | But 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? |
11996 | Quel crime ont ils donc commisPour etre enchaines de meme? |
11996 | To 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? |
11996 | Admitting these accusations to be unfounded, what ideas must the people have of their magistrates, when they are credited? |
11996 | After asking for more rolls, we accosted him with the usual phrase,"Et vous, Monsieur, vous etes bon patriote?" |
11996 | And is no life resign''d"To see them sparkle from their parent throne?" |
11996 | Are our principles every where the mere children of circumstance, or is it in this country only that nothing is stable? |
11996 | Are these literary miners to penetrate the recesses of private life, only to bring to light the dross? |
11996 | But what can compensate for the injury done to the people? |
11996 | Can they with safety suffer it to be exercised by any other persons? |
11996 | Could the aristocrates, then, flatter themselves with the hope of making you believe I had the intention of disarming you? |
11996 | Do they analyse only to discover poisons? |
11996 | How often have yielded to the little, and opposed the great, not from conviction, but interest? |

11996 | She told me she did not come to the town,_"a cause de la foederation"--"Vous etes aristocrate donc?" |
11996 | We 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? |
11996 | What horror can their mock- tragedies excite in those who have contemplated the Place de la Revolution? |
11996 | What is to restore their ancient frugality, or banish their acquired wants? |
11996 | What perverse and malignant influence can have excited the people either to incur or to suffer their present situation? |
11996 | What signifies our preaching the unity and indivisibility of the republic, when we can not maintain peace and union amongst ourselves? |
11996 | What will then be the situation of France? |
11996 | What would you think if they would not dispense with a hornpipe on the tight- rope by Mrs. Webb? |
11996 | Whenever 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?" |
11996 | Which of you would not joyfully have destroyed all these traitors at a blow?" |
11996 | Who, after this mandate, would venture to oppose a member recommended by the Commune of Paris? |
11996 | Yet 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? |
11996 | Yet, how are these delinquents to be brought to condemnation? |
11996 | Yet, where are they now? |
11996 | are we not miserable? |
11996 | or will any one pretend that they really understood the democratic Machiavelism which they were to propagate in Brabant? |
11996 | will no gallant mind"The cause of love, the cause of justice own? |
31026 | Do the signatures of the great powers make them any less our foes? |
31026 | Do you think you are talking to the Mamelukes? |
31026 | Shall we enter the hall? |
31026 | Was it for this,said another,"that you were victorious?" |
31026 | What are the pressing dangers? |
31026 | What have you done,said the dictator to Barras''s messenger--"what have you done with the France I made so brilliant? |
31026 | What revolutionary,said Napoleon to his brother Joseph,"would not have confidence in an order of things where Fouché is minister? |
31026 | What would you say,said Tierney,"if Bonaparte victorious should refuse to treat except with the Stuarts?" |
31026 | Where is it? 31026 Where will your master live?" |
31026 | Who knew how long he would take to change the face of Europe again, and resuscitate the empire of the West? |
31026 | Why did not Tacitus explain how the Roman people put up with the wicked emperors who ruled them? |
31026 | Would you, a supporter of the republic, leave it to perish in the hands of these lawyers? |
31026 | Against whom such measures of precaution? |
31026 | At once the question arose, Who should this high official be? |
31026 | Attendant republics already revolved about the great central French republic; were kingdoms, too, beginning to join the round? |
31026 | Bonaparte was a man of virtue and talent, to be sure, but what about his descendants? |
31026 | But was this possible? |
31026 | But where and how? |
31026 | But where was the general? |
31026 | But where were the children? |
31026 | But why should that body also declare war or make peace? |
31026 | Did ever the wheels of conspiracy run so smoothly? |
31026 | Does such a situation create no moral obligation? |
31026 | For whom do you vote?" |
31026 | Had the scoffer, the worshiper of science, the would- be Mohammedan prophet, himself experienced a change of heart? |
31026 | He then began again:''Why such armaments? |
31026 | How could Austria be put in the same position? |
31026 | How could an absolute dictator install his penates in the sometime home of absolute royalty without inspiring general distrust? |
31026 | How could the council, eager as they were to do so, grant the general''s demands on such a showing as this? |
31026 | How far would Bonaparte curb his ambition? |
31026 | How far would England surrender her control of European commerce? |
31026 | If the country had been exhausted by the old régime, what had the recklessness of the Jacobins done for it? |
31026 | If 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? |
31026 | If there were no alternative except war or suicide, is Great Britain to be blamed for choosing war, however desperate? |
31026 | In view of these disturbing circumstances, many also asked, Where is the statesman? |
31026 | Is it not we who have destroyed the Knights of Malta because those insensate chevaliers believed God wanted them to make war on the Mussulmans? |
31026 | Is it not we who have destroyed the Pope that said war must be made on the Mussulmans? |
31026 | Joseph was the eldest, could he be considered as a possible president in Italy? |
31026 | Josephine having been barren since her second marriage, would the succession go to her children or to her husband''s relatives? |
31026 | Of what use were these incapables who were at the head of affairs? |
31026 | Or should he put down the mask? |
31026 | Such plans seem fantastic to the multitude, but what else than their realization is in sober reality the British empire of to- day? |
31026 | The 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? |
31026 | True, 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? |
31026 | Was Fortune at last to desert her child? |
31026 | Was he not master of the two great maritime commonwealths which had once shared the mass of Eastern trade between them? |
31026 | Was it to maintain the chaos in Paris that he was conquering, administering, negotiating? |
31026 | Was the age of violence not passed? |
31026 | Was this another Alexander? |
31026 | Were his orders, in view of the changed situation, still valid? |
31026 | Were they merely to exchange one tyranny for another more bloody? |
31026 | What could be plainer than the meaning of this? |
31026 | What could they be? |
31026 | What do they want? |
31026 | What else could be expected from the kings of Europe? |
31026 | What gentleman would not expect to find existence possible under the former Bishop of Autun? |
31026 | What was the ultimate design of the great schemer if the imminent war broke out while the best French troops were in Africa? |
31026 | What was to be done with the rest of Italy, with Spain and with Portugal, in order to secure his preponderance in western Europe? |
31026 | What were they, indeed? |
31026 | Where are the hundred thousand warriors who have disappeared from the soil of France? |
31026 | Whither bound? |
31026 | Why did it eventually fail in Spain? |
31026 | Why, then, as under the present constitution, should the French legislature alone have rights which belonged to government in its totality? |
31026 | Would England again and finally dash the French Utopia into ruins? |
31026 | Would the soldiers, enthusiastic as they seemed, really obey if ordered to take violent measures? |
31026 | Would the surviving dynasties admit him, as the representative of French nationality, to a seat on their Olympus? |
31026 | Would this work a miracle and remove the reproach of her barrenness? |
31026 | he said to the agent from the Bishop of Mainz,"when he loses his present residence?" |
31026 | what have I done?" |
47233 | Why doth the miser all his cares employ,To gain those riches that he ca n''t enjoy?" |
47233 | And, will not the people murmur, if they have no share in the same? |
47233 | I was asked,_ A''imez vous la soupe à la Françoise, Monsieur?_ My answer was--_Oui, Madame_. |
47233 | Will not a king feel very uneasy, if he has no part of the legislative power? |
47233 | Will not the nobles be discontented, if they have no part of it? |
32047 | ''What, then,''Madame Tallien replied,''because he governs France, does he expect to tyrannize over our hearts? 32047 And where is the empress?" |
32047 | And why should I not? |
32047 | And why,said she,"have you changed your intentions in reference to William?" |
32047 | But are you aware of the magnitude of the undertaking? |
32047 | But what if the grenadiers themselves take to hissing like the rest? |
32047 | Can you suppose that papa and I would contrive between us to deceive you? |
32047 | How know you this? |
32047 | Is happiness or misfortune to be my lot? |
32047 | Is 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?" |
32047 | Oh, sir, I should want as much as twenty louis( about eighty dollars); but what prospect is there of our ever having twenty louis? |
32047 | Well,said the first consul, rubbing his hands in fine spirits,"we go to church this morning; what say they to that in Paris?" |
32047 | What do you mean, my dear child? |
32047 | What say you to this security of success? 32047 Whither shall I flee?" |
32047 | Why, sister,exclaimed Eugene,"how can you say so?" |
32047 | Will 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? |
32047 | You 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? |
32047 | But how could she escape? |
32047 | But is it not my duty to bestow as much charity as I can?" |
32047 | But what could she do? |
32047 | But what is death? |
32047 | But what is there so extraordinary in this narrative? |
32047 | Could 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? |
32047 | For these, I ask you, is he to blame? |
32047 | Having ceased to be your wife, dare I felicitate you on becoming a father? |
32047 | He was heard mournfully and anxiously to repeat to himself again and again,"To whom shall I leave all this?" |
32047 | How could you imagine that I could participate in opinions so ridiculous and so malicious? |
32047 | How is it, my daughter, that, without permission from your aunt, you have come to Paris? |
32047 | If I am condemned, how can I escape? |
32047 | If I die, who will prove to him a father? |
32047 | If it be thus with me, what must it be with others? |
32047 | If, after our union, he should cease to love me, will he not reproach me with what he will have sacrificed for my sake? |
32047 | In a mournful voice, tremulous with emotion, he replied,"Eugene, you know the stern necessity which compels this measure, and will you forsake me? |
32047 | Is he obliged to conform his nature to circumstances? |
32047 | Is it not a proof of confidence springing from an excess of vanity? |
32047 | Is it not so, mamma?" |
32047 | Josephine said, with a smile,"You do not think that I have occupied too much time at my toilet?" |
32047 | Josephine, however, was only amused, and smiling, said,"So you discover something very extraordinary in my destiny?" |
32047 | Must we sacrifice to him our private friendships?'' |
32047 | She appeared for a time very thoughtful, and then inquired of Eugene, with an anxious expression of countenance,"Do_ you_ believe that papa is ill? |
32047 | Should she take them with her, and thus prevent the possibility of eluding arrest? |
32047 | The president fixed his eye upon him doubtingly, and said,"Are you willing to undertake our defense?" |
32047 | What caused this apparently miraculous change? |
32047 | What have they done in the end for me? |
32047 | What illusions can now remain for me? |
32047 | What maiden ever consulted a fortune- teller without receiving the agreeable announcement that she was to we d beauty, and wealth, and rank? |
32047 | What shall I do? |
32047 | What shall I then reply? |
32047 | What will the first consul say, should he not find you on his return?'' |
32047 | Where could she go? |
32047 | Who can fathom the mystery of the creation of such a drama? |
32047 | Who could have predicted to him his fortune? |
32047 | Who has not inhabited this palace? |
32047 | Who is to make a man of him?" |
32047 | Who made all that?" |
32047 | Who will bring him up? |
32047 | Who would not be proud of having proclaimed the rights of the nation, the fall of despotism, and the reign of laws?" |
32047 | Who, 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? |
32047 | Why show to Louis this repugnance? |
32047 | Will he not regret a more brilliant marriage which he might have contracted? |
32047 | Will he venture upon a conflict so unequal, when failure is his certain death? |
32047 | Will not their neighbors, beholding these effects, combine for your destruction? |
32047 | Will the little Corsican dare to fire upon the people? |
32047 | Will you accompany me to Strasburg?" |
32047 | With something like resentment, she asked,"Why, then, madame, do you not appoint your household?" |
32047 | Would not her attempt at flight be construed into a confession of guilt, and thus compromise the safety of her husband? |
32047 | exclaimed Napoleon, looking upon him sadly;"will you, Eugene, my adopted son, leave me?" |
32047 | she promptly replied,"am I not the wife of their commander?" |
32047 | sire, why can I not fly to you? |
32047 | though he hath committed great faults, hath he not expiated them by great sufferings? |
32047 | what is death? |
48470 | Baudricourt was a greet, rough, sensible soldier, and how could Joan go to him with a message of this kind? |
48470 | But how could she escape? |
48470 | The regular soldiers followed, and all day long they attacked the walls, carrying ladders to climb then? |
48470 | They went to her, and asked her if the Voices had come to her again? |
48470 | What had Joan told to the King? |
48470 | â � � You know that I told the Duchess I would bring you back safe? |
48470 | â � �_They say: What say they? |
3889 | And how could I use that,replied her Majesty,"of which I have been deprived?" |
3889 | Could you ever believe,said he,"that I should desire any other order of things? |
3889 | How is it, Madame,wrote Barnave to the Queen,"that you will persist in giving these people even the smallest doubt as to your sentiments? |
3889 | Tigers,exclaimed Barnave,"have you ceased to be Frenchmen? |
3889 | Would it be a brisk action? |
3889 | Would you have her go with you? |
3889 | ''Where?'' |
3889 | And ought I not to feel all these advantages? |
3889 | But how is it that you complain of injustice and calumny when you see that we are victims of them? |
3889 | Do assassins ever strike otherwise?"] |
3889 | Have you any doubt of my attachment to the King''s person, and the maintenance of his rights?" |
3889 | Madame,"cried he, his voice choked by tears,"why were you present at this sitting? |
3889 | Nation of brave men, are you become a set of assassins?" |
3889 | Of all the daughters of Maria Theresa am I not that one whom fortune has most highly favoured? |
3889 | Ought I to abandon her?" |
3889 | The Queen said to him,"Do you know anything about this, Sire?" |
3889 | The Queen said, as she read this letter,"Perhaps he speaks but too truly; who can decide upon so disastrous a position as ours has become?" |
3889 | The place of concealment, but for the man''s information, would have been long undiscovered? |
3889 | What can we expect from those addresses to the people which he has been advised to post up? |
3889 | What should I find at Vienna? |
3889 | What should I lose in France? |
3889 | What will become of my poor children?" |
3889 | Whether she had done her any, personal wrong? |
3889 | Why do n''t they sweep off 400 or 500 of them with the cannon? |
3889 | Why have they let in all that rabble? |
3889 | said she,''are we alone; is there nobody who can act?'' |
3889 | that man loaded with his master''s bounties?" |
46678 | This is some ancient historic monument, no doubt? |
46678 | And the rest? |
46678 | And what else has one a right to demand unless he is a pedant? |
46678 | Aside, to some crony, you may hear the observation,"Who are these strangers and what do they want with their man Buffon anyway?" |
46678 | But the cherry tree? |
46678 | Chateau or palace it may not be; it may be only a luxurious town house; who shall make the distinction after all? |
46678 | How did this little German stronghold become French? |
46678 | Is it for this that history is written? |
46678 | Modern builders make great claims for their product, but will it last? |
46678 | The situation heightens this effect, no doubt, but what would you? |
46678 | This must have been a great annoyance to themselves, but those were the days before time was money, so what matter? |
46678 | Vauban''s body is buried in the local churchyard, but his heart had the distinction of being torn from his body and given a glorious(?) |

43609 | _ Est- ce loin?_he asked. |
43609 | _ Savez- vous ce que sont ces ruines?_you ask of any one, and they will tell you that it is all that remains of the fine chateau of Gaston Phoebus. |
43609 | All one does is to ask"Avez- vous des oeufs? |
43609 | All very well, but which other side? |
43609 | Avez- vous du jambon? |
43609 | But what would you? |
43609 | Can he not be apprehended ere he crosses the frontier?" |
43609 | The following"_ mot_"describes his character:"Will you be able to follow us?" |
43609 | Was he poisoned? |

42954 | ''Pink flannel? |
42954 | ''Que est ce qu''il y a? |
42954 | ''What for you, madam?'' |
42954 | A workman passing says to a girl leaning out of a low latticed window:''C''est bon le soleil?'' |
42954 | And the images in the churches-- do you mean to say that they have no influence for good on the people? |
42954 | Est- ce vraiment la petite Dorothé?'' |
42954 | How is it that one dislikes one''s own countrymen abroad so much? |
42954 | How many yards?--one, two, three? |
42954 | Is 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? |
42954 | Is n''t that marvellous? |
42954 | Is n''t that quality if you like? |
42954 | Of what avail is it to attempt to read the mystery of these silent Celtic giants? |
42954 | On one occasion, airing his English, he said,''Vill you pass ze vutter?'' |
42954 | Should they provide the porter with a blade of straw wherewith to light the engines? |
42954 | Then to a man:''Trousering, my lord? |
42954 | What chance would a prisoner have? |
42954 | What was my name? |
42954 | Who is to say that the image of that patient, suffering Saviour is not an influence for good in the village? |
42954 | Who was I? |
42954 | Who would have imagined that this woman of the salons, fêted in Paris, and known everywhere, would be always longing for her country home? |
42954 | Who would have known that one of them was a boy? |
42954 | personne en veux plus? |
14194 | ''And what did you do?'' 14194 ''Did you approve that order?''" |
14194 | ''Yes; why not? 14194 And what will the end be?" |
14194 | And why not, Louis? 14194 Are not we magnificent in our own house, Monsieur?" |
14194 | Are we going to be shot? |
14194 | Are you proud of your resistance? 14194 Are you so sure of that?" |
14194 | But my wounded? |
14194 | But what must I do,asked the duchess,"without friends, without relations, without counsel?" |
14194 | But, M. le Comte, are you not afraid of reducing us to despair, of exasperating our resistance? |
14194 | Could you not offer me two hours? |
14194 | Does Madame desire so much to pass in? |
14194 | If the present Government of France is overthrown,they said,"and an appeal made to the people, who will fill the interregnum? |
14194 | Now, shall I fire, or shall I reward you? |
14194 | Then what can be done for them? |
14194 | What have you ever done for me that you have any claim on me? |
14194 | What would you have? |
14194 | Where are you going to take me? |
14194 | Where is it held? |
14194 | Where''s Le Sage? |
14194 | Why 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? |
14194 | And when an officer in attendance called out to the crowd not to hurt the king, he was answered:"Do you take us for assassins? |
14194 | And with all the machinery of government in his hands, is it certain that a_ plébiscite_ would be the free vote of the people?" |
14194 | And would he understand what to do? |
14194 | At this another voice called out:"_ Tiens!_ is that you, Lamoricière? |
14194 | But how to feed the multitude? |
14194 | But the government of France was the government of one man; and if anything happened to that one man, where would be the government? |
14194 | Could I ask one of the soldiers to convey a message for me? |
14194 | Could a child and a woman govern as he had done by a despotic will? |
14194 | Could n''t one be allowed to re- light one''s cigar?" |
14194 | De Nigra gave him a kick, and asked him how he dared to cry:"Vive l''Empereur?" |
14194 | Do you wish me to try it?" |
14194 | Gambetta was known to be for_ No Surrender!_ Which should prevail? |
14194 | His reply to such applications always was:"If he is not a Christian, what does he want with a cross?" |
14194 | I gave him my hand, and said:''You will come and see us tomorrow before going away?'' |
14194 | If France were a republic, who should be her president? |
14194 | If his project for self- government in France must prove a failure, when he was dead, what then? |
14194 | May I here be permitted to relate a little story connected with this day''s events? |
14194 | On hearing their story, he turned round, and said, in excellent English,"What are you doing here, an Englishman and in plain clothes?" |
14194 | She was the queen''s niece, and if captured what could be done with her? |
14194 | Should the president be elected by the Chamber, or by a vote of the people? |
14194 | Should there be a vice- president? |
14194 | Should there be one Chamber, or two? |
14194 | The difficulty was what royalty? |
14194 | The general called to one of them by name:''Have you got the road from here to Metting?'' |
14194 | The king had got his own again,--why should not they get back theirs? |
14194 | The major went up to him, and looking at the eagle, said in French,''Is it for sale?'' |
14194 | The 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?" |
14194 | The people never saw a horseman without shrieking to him,''How is all going on at present?'' |
14194 | The question this time was: Shall the prince president become emperor? |
14194 | The young woman smiled at me, as much as to say:''Is he not a fine fellow?'' |
14194 | There were several points of primary importance to be settled at once; first: should France be a monarchy, or a republic? |
14194 | Was it on a barricade?'' |
14194 | What are you but rebels? |
14194 | What could have occurred? |
14194 | What have I not suffered?" |
14194 | What might not be happening to them? |
14194 | What more can we say? |
14194 | What was now to be done? |
14194 | What would become of those under your care if the friends of the Commune were set over them?" |
14194 | When it had reached the Germans, one of its occupants put out his head and asked, in German, for Count von Bismarck? |
14194 | When the resignation of M. Grévy had been accepted, came the question, Who should succeed him? |
14194 | When the_ maire_ presented himself at their summons, they demanded on what terms Versailles would surrender? |
14194 | Where had the empress- regent fled? |
14194 | Why did I not take your advice? |
14194 | Why should I give your irregular Republic an appearance of legality by signing an armistice with its representative? |
14194 | Will General Boulanger, if all power is intrusted to him, consent to give it up, if the nation votes for monarchy? |
14194 | Would the dictator lay aside his power without a struggle? |
14194 | [ 1]"Why are my friends Boulangists? |
14194 | she said,"are you the Commissioner of Police come to arrest me for my outrageous letter to the queen? |
14194 | was the blood of priests to be spared, and that of patriots imperilled at a post of danger?" |
14194 | what have you done to your eyes?" |
48185 | Where was that? 48185 Where were we? |
48185 | At Haudromont farm or Chapelle Sainte- Fine? |
48185 | At Mort- Homme or Froideterre? |
48185 | Could they still hope? |
48185 | He goes on his way continuing his rounds"How goes it?" |
48185 | He 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?". |
48185 | How were the foot soldiers of the 137th buried alive? |
48185 | In the enemy''s lines or our own? |
48185 | Was this choice of ground as paradoxical as it has been said? |
48185 | Were they to undergo the devastation of a bombardment? |
48185 | Were we going to be blown up? |
48185 | What had become of my posts? |
48185 | What had happened during these four hours? |
48185 | Why was Douaumont fort almost unmanned? |
7558 | will it be yesterday over again? |
3893 | Did she see you? |
3893 | Does he want nothing else? |
3893 | For whom,asked Bonaparte,"did you intend this treasonable correspondence? |
3893 | Gentlemen,said he,"you have been in England; what is your opinion of the character of these islanders, and of the probability of their subjugation?" |
3893 | Is the Police Minister and Senator, Fouche, your friend? |
3893 | Where did you pass the evening last Saturday? |
3893 | You have known Her Imperial Highness a long time? |
3893 | After the perusal of this report, Bonaparte asked Talleyrand:"What can Edelsheim mean by his troublesome assiduities? |
3893 | And 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? |
3893 | But did not the Goddess of Reason, did not Robespierre as a high priest of a Supreme Being, speak as highly of their sectaries? |
3893 | Can you believe my throne at Milan safe as long as it is not the sole throne of Italy? |
3893 | Do you expect to govern at Rome when I cease to reign at Milan? |
3893 | Does he want any indemnities, or does he wish me to make him a German Prince? |
3893 | How long have you conspired with my enemies, and where are your accomplices?" |
3893 | If the present Roman pontiff acts differently from what his Master and predecessors would have done, can he be the vicar of our Saviour?" |
3893 | Would Jesus Christ, if upon earth, have acted thus? |
3893 | Would his immediate successors, the Apostles, not have preferred the suffering of martyrdom to the commission of any injury? |
3893 | You will no doubt exclaim,"How can Bonaparte employ, how dares he confide, in such a man?" |
3893 | confer on Napoleon the First what belongs to Louis XVIII.? |
3893 | exclaimed the Emperor frequently,"your son, the work of your hand? |
43831 | Are people living in them? |
43831 | Did you ever see anything nicer? |
43831 | Does it not look like a doll''s house? |
43831 | Ethel, my dear, why did you run off like this? |
43831 | This is your sister back from school, eh? 43831 Well, what shall we see first?" |
43831 | What is this? |

43831 | Are they not dark and gloomy?" |
43831 | Besides, did it not look just like her papa''s wheat- field, with a bit of the river showing between the trees? |
43831 | May I not take him a glass of cider?" |
43831 | Oh, but is n''t it stupid of me?" |
43831 | Well, just think, we are all going to see them, that is, you and Jean and me and uncle and aunt, and better still-- how do you think we are going?" |
43831 | Well, when are you two going to take that ride with me?" |
43831 | What do you say to going on a barge on the river?" |
43831 | What is that big gray thing in the sky just above that clump of trees? |

43831 | asked Jean,"and how can they see in them? |
43831 | cried Germaine,"there are chimneys and stovepipes coming up out of the ground; is it not funny?" |
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?'' |
3880 | Is 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"?'' |
3880 | how can they be called small clothes for one large man? |
3843 | And 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?" |
3843 | If 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?" |
3843 | The citizens? 3843 What difficulties?" |
3843 | What do you think of that? |
3843 | Who will be with them? |
3843 | Will you promise it? |
3843 | After a little pause, he said,"But now, to be serious, would you be so foolish as to embark with those men?" |
3843 | And if we divest the Parliament of its authority, into what an abyss of disorders shall we not precipitate Paris? |
3843 | And 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? |
3843 | And 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? |
3843 | Are there many that have done as you and I, monsieur, who sent our plate to the mint? |
3843 | Are there not excuses and appearances ready at hand, and such as can not fail? |
3843 | But why need we go abroad for examples when we have so many at home? |
3843 | But, besides, has he any likelihood of succeeding? |
3843 | But, on the other hand, if we do not raise the people, will the Parliament ever believe we can? |
3843 | Had 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? |
3843 | He was nettled at my smile, and said to me in aloud tone,"Do you know whom you talk to? |
3843 | I 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? |
3843 | I 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?" |
3843 | If he should succeed, will the State be a gainer by it, according to its only true maxims? |
3843 | If the people are so tired already, what will they be long before they come to their journey''s end? |
3843 | Is a little more or less heat in Parliamentary proceedings sufficient reason to make you alter it? |
3843 | Is he not loaded with the odium and contempt of the public? |
3843 | Is it possible that you can not comprehend what he has been preaching to you for these last three days?" |
3843 | Is 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? |
3843 | May not the Court to- morrow put an end to the civil war by the expulsion of Mazarin and by raising the siege of Paris? |
3843 | One would have thought that the barricades should have convinced them; but have they been convinced? |
3843 | Pray, monsieur, considering your reputation and capacity, who can pretend to act this part with more dignity, than yourself? |
3843 | The Cardinal answered,"Well, M. Guitaut, what would you have us do?" |
3843 | Then turning to me, he said,"What, monsieur, will you refuse entrance to your sovereign''s herald upon the most trifling pretexts?" |
3843 | This being the case, in what a condition shall we be the next day after we have made and procured this general peace? |
3843 | We can make the people rise to- morrow if we please; but ought we to attempt it? |
3843 | We should indeed have the honour of it, but would this honour screen us against the hatred and curses of the Court? |
3843 | What we are now doing might undeceive them effectually; but are they yet cured of their infatuation? |
3843 | Will not the provinces, which are already hesitating, then declare in our favour? |
3843 | Will they come out to give battle?" |
3843 | Would it be an advantage to the Princes of the blood in any sense? |
3843 | Would the house of Austria take up arms again to rescue you and me from a prison? |
3843 | and is not the Parliament the idol they revere? |
3843 | he replied;"will you be there yourself?" |
3843 | madame, would you have the Coadjutor, for our sakes only, run the risk of being no more than chaplain to Fuensaldagne? |
3843 | she suddenly exclaimed,"will you not get that rogue Beautru soundly thrashed, who has paid so little respect to your character? |
44965 | Did he? |
44965 | My dear sir,he replied,"I know it is not my bird, but do you suppose that I would allow a fellow like that to think that he had killed a bird? |
44965 | Quelques parcelles de tant de gloire parviendront- elles aux siècles à venir, ou, le mensonge, la calomnie, le crime, prévaudront- ils? |
44965 | I hope you are not badly hit?" |
44965 | The chief of the 1st German hussars meeting our commandant one morning,"Well, Colonel,"says the gallant German in broken English,"how you do?" |
44965 | The explanation over, a long silence ensued-- each afraid to pop the question, which must be popp''d, of whose wife was Nancy? |
44965 | The poor creatures looked us piteously in the face, as much as to say,"Are you not ashamed to call yourselves human beings?" |
44965 | Who has not passed down Blackfriars- road of an evening? |
44965 | my dear fellow, how do you do? |
3890 | Ah, brother,she answered,"how can I have any regret when I partake your misfortunes?" |
3890 | And do you esteem as nothing,she replied,"the glory of being the wife of one of the best and most persecuted of men? |
3890 | Are these toys which I have in my hand also cutting instruments? |
3890 | Do they think me so cowardly,he exclaimed,"as to lay violent hands on myself? |
3890 | Do you promise that you will? |
3890 | Have you heard it long? |
3890 | Is it because we have too long forgotten the crimes of the Austrian? 3890 Kill him?" |
3890 | Of what has Elisabeth to complain? |
3890 | Poison him? |
3890 | Transport him? |
3890 | What does the Convention intend to do with him? |
3890 | What, then? |
3890 | Who commands that vessel? |
3890 | Why 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?'' |
3890 | After each article the President paused, and said,"What have you to answer?" |
3890 | And what are his orders?" |
3890 | Are not such misfortunes the noblest honours?" |
3890 | Do you not hear it? |
3890 | During the calling of the votes he asked M. de Malesherbes,"Have you not met near the Temple the White Lady?" |
3890 | Gomin, astonished, said to him,"From what direction do you hear this music?" |
3890 | If it were not so, was there any occasion for her to enter into any detail as to what the portfolio contained? |
3890 | M. de Malesherbes, according to his promise to the King, went to the Temple at nine o''clock on the morning of the 17th?. |
3890 | Queen by Hdbert,--namely, that she had had an improper intimacy with her own son? |
3890 | Who 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? |
44913 | Surely that was not too much to grant to their defender? |
44913 | But what does it matter? |
44913 | Shall we at their bidding turn, Fearful of their aspect stern? |
44913 | The Bishop grew pale, the calumniators slunk away, and St. Goar, turning to the Bishop, said,"Perceivest thou not thy duty? |
44913 | Time moves on and brings us to eternity; therefore, is it not well for man that Nature warns him of the lapse of Time? |
44913 | What can I do for thee?" |
44913 | While the whole earth and sky teem with glory and beauty, are we to believe that these things may not be enjoyed? |
44913 | Who can say, I shall see spring again? |
44913 | Who shall dare aspire to the central heaven itself? |
44913 | [ 7] Query, Was this the origin of taking French leave? |
44913 | he cried out;"how darest thou speak to this Bastard?" |
44913 | replied she;"what brings your honourable and ever- to- be- delighted- in presence to the door of my humble abode?" |
44913 | then tell to this gallant assembly, what is the sacred and characteristic mark of that place?" |
44913 | they called out the names of any of their unmarried friends with the following words,"Qui donne- t- on à M----?" |
44913 | who will join me in my voyage for the honour of God and the Holy Tomb?" |
44913 | who will risk with me the voyage to the Holy Tomb?" |
8505 | There is a most imposing pulpit surmounted by a canopy where a female figure seated on a globe is surrounded by cherubs, clouds( or are they rocks?) |

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?'' |
3881 | Are you a poetess? |
3881 | But surely you will not be so unreasonable as not to hear what I have to say? |
3881 | But surely,said she,"you have not really discharged the poor man?" |
3881 | Was he a Frenchman? |
3881 | Why? |
3881 | ''Has Your Majesty breakfasted?'' |
3881 | ''Was any, sum,''asked she,''named as a compensation for suspending this trial?'' |
3881 | --"How so?" |
3881 | But how prevent it? |
3881 | But what has brought that again into your mind just now?'' |
3881 | But,''continued she,''has Your Majesty really forgiven me?'' |
3881 | Do you think you should know him, if you were to see him again?" |
3881 | Had all the Royal Family, remained, is it likely that the King and Queen would have been watched with such despotic vigilance? |
3881 | I laughed, and was turning from him, saying,"Is this all your business?" |
3881 | Might it not be fancied that it involved secret designs on the British settlements in that quarter? |
3881 | The dear Dauphin said to me,''You will not go away again, I hope, Princess? |
3881 | What sort of a man was he?" |
3881 | Who that is false to his God can be expected to remain faithful to his Sovereign? |
3881 | Why did he not consult me before he took a step so important? |
3881 | Would not confidence have created confidence, and the breach have been less wide between the King and his people? |
3881 | doubt my fidelity?" |
3881 | exclaimed 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? |
3881 | exclaimed Her Majesty,"Am I not the crow of evil forebodings? |
3881 | exclaimed the Princesse Elizabeth, can that be possible, after the King has accepted the Constitution?'' |
3881 | why am I not animated with the courage of Maria Theresa? |
57185 | What do you do here? |
57185 | And elsewhere,"Why do n''t we fight? |
57185 | He said to Löwenstern,"How goes it with Barclay? |
57185 | How dare you, you unlicked cub, address the commander- in- chief so? |
57185 | Our army lost in them its pillars and supports... and what are all our other generals worth beside them?" |
57185 | They rode up to the mustering Voltigeurs, and their leader challenged in French:"Qui vive?" |

14289 | Do 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?" |
14289 | In what capacity? |
14289 | What 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?" |
14289 | After this, how could hero- worship subsist? |
14289 | Against whom these measures of precaution? |
14289 | All his features, particularly his mouth and nose, fine, sharp, defined, and expressive beyond description; expressive of what? |
14289 | And for what? |
14289 | And what more can be said on behalf of a ruler at the end of a bloody revolution? |
14289 | And would not the hopes of national freedom and of emancipation from feudal imposts fire these peoples with zeal for the French cause? |
14289 | And, if so, did the men of 1789 follow them by practical methods? |
14289 | Are my murderers sacred beings? |
14289 | As a retort to the tongue- fencers, what could be better? |
14289 | At 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?" |
14289 | But how came he to receive the military authority which was so potently to influence the course of events? |
14289 | But is he not tormented by all the daggers of the furies?" |
14289 | But of what avail are private remonstrances when in open session opponents are dumb and supporters vie in adulation? |
14289 | But what have divine laws to do with a purely human affair? |
14289 | But what shall we say of his sense of imperial diplomacy? |
14289 | But who could work it? |
14289 | Can this be called evidence?] |
14289 | Could the man who had bartered away Venetia and seized Malta and Egypt be fitly looked upon as the sacred''r peacemaker? |
14289 | Did Bonaparte originate the plan of attack? |
14289 | Did Napoleon foresee a similar result? |
14289 | Did his past power in Italy and Egypt warrant the belief that he would abandon the peninsula and the new colony? |
14289 | Did the Pitt Ministry intend to betray the confidence of the French royalists and keep Toulon for England? |
14289 | Do not all his references to his star occur in proclamations and addresses intended for popular consumption? |
14289 | Finally,"he asked,"why should not the mistress of the seas and the mistress of the land come to an arrangement and govern the world?" |
14289 | For the conquest of Constantinople or of India? |
14289 | For the exercise of all these gifts what land was so fitted as the mosaic of States which was dignified with the name of Italy? |
14289 | For the rest, is it credible that this analyzing genius could ever have seriously adopted the astrologer''s creed? |
14289 | Have we not destroyed the Knights of Malta, because those fools believed it to be God''s will to war against Moslems?" |
14289 | How came he to outgrow the insular patriotism of his early years? |
14289 | How could he keep the Austrians quiet while envoys passed between Turin and Paris? |
14289 | How should the brain of the body politic, that is, the Legislature, be connected with the hand, that is, the Executive? |
14289 | Is there anything in his early note- books or later correspondence which warrants such a belief? |
14289 | Might not such an impulse be imparted by the French Revolution? |
14289 | Moreover, if this were the object, why was not the flank move of the French cavalry above Lodi pushed home earlier in the fight? |
14289 | Or did he merely carry out orders as a subordinate? |
14289 | Or did he throw his weight and influence into a scheme that others beside him had designed? |
14289 | Or did the hope of striking a blow for Corsica stay his suicidal hand? |
14289 | Réal''s first words, on hearing this unexpected news, were:"How is that possible? |
14289 | Soldiers of the Army of Italy, will you lack courage?" |
14289 | The Government counted for little or nothing; for was it not the symbol of the detested foreign rule? |
14289 | To mix with Kings in the low lust of sway, Yell in the hunt and join the murderous prey? |
14289 | Was it now to be provisioned, in order that the Directory might barter away the Cispadane Republic? |
14289 | Were not the appeals to Austria and England merely a skillful device to gain time? |
14289 | Were the lofty aims and aspirations of the Revolution attainable? |
14289 | What could he now do with these 2,500 or 3,000 prisoners? |
14289 | What is the end of Cromwell? |
14289 | What then had been lacking? |
14289 | What then remained after these and many other disappointments? |
14289 | Who deserved to enjoy power? |
14289 | Who had won power? |
14289 | Who then so fitted as he to approach the victor of Hohenlinden? |
14289 | Why also had the grave been dug beforehand? |
14289 | Why also was his countenance the only one that afterwards showed no remorse or grief? |
14289 | Why did he shut himself up in his private room on March 20th, so that even Josephine had difficulty in gaining entrance? |
14289 | Why did she accept the armed help of 1,600 French royalists? |
14289 | Why did she admit, not only 6,900 Spaniards, but also 4,900 Neapolitans and 1,600 Piedmontese? |
14289 | Why did she urgently plead with Austria to send 5,000 white- coats from Milan? |
14289 | Why should Joseph speak of_ his_ rights and_ his_ interests? |
14289 | Why this neglect if she wished to settle matters?] |
14289 | Why was I not warned that they were assembling at Ettenheim? |
14289 | Why, finally, were Savary and Réal not disgraced? |

47537 | Am I never again to breathe the air of the Entresol? |
47537 | Had Frederick deserved the fate to which the French Council were ready to abandon him? |

47537 | In the first place: Was it just? |
47537 | Me voilà- t- il pas bientôt assez à parler en mari fort supérieur d''âge? |
47537 | Was it wise? |
47537 | Why should not theoretic knowledge be as useful to society in general as to societies in particular? |
47537 | Why was it, it may be asked, that what had once been an inexhaustible source of strength had become a fatal element of weakness? |
47537 | Why, it may be asked, was this offer not accepted? |
47537 | Wo n''t you be charmed with it when you are at Paris this summer?" |

47537 | what of it? |
52706 | Beautiful? |
52706 | Ca n''t even you see that? |
52706 | Do you get much inspiration here? |
52706 | How''s art? |
52706 | Then 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?" |
52706 | You have nothing to do to- night, then? |
52706 | Ah, yes, with whom? |
52706 | As long as the question asked is"Is it art?" |
52706 | Is that all?" |
52706 | It is true the seats were filled, but with whom? |
52706 | That''s pretty good for my first two years abroad, is n''t it?" |
52706 | That''s pretty good for my first year, is it not? |
52706 | When did you come?" |
52706 | and not"Will it sell?" |
52706 | and"Is it popular?" |
40699 | And are they good children? |
40699 | And is she so wicked? |
40699 | And were you afraid of it? |
40699 | And why kill the poor creature, Sophie? 40699 But, Suzette, what have you there?" |
40699 | Have they said their prayers? |
40699 | Have you said them this morning? |
40699 | My dears,she would say, leaning forward to look at their black robes,"are n''t these dresses getting rather shabby? |
40699 | What''s this? |
40699 | Why not, dear? |
40699 | Will you shoe my horse, good friends? |
40699 | You are sure I have not hurt you, darling? |
40699 | You love your little sister, do n''t you, my darling? |

40699 | Do you say your prayers?" |
40699 | Famines had come before this, said Jules, so why not again? |
40699 | Great 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?" |
40699 | Has n''t the time come for new ones?" |
40699 | Have n''t you a watch, then?" |
40699 | Her first question was sure to be,"Are you hungry?" |
40699 | One day he must have seen how much I longed for it, for he said, holding out the slice,"_ Demoiselle, en veux- tu_?" |
40699 | Que je baise de votre altesse Les pieds, les mains, et les genoux? |
40699 | Why give oneself so much trouble for nothing?" |
40699 | Why not?" |

3876 | Well, what think you of the part I am playing? |

3876 | What is the matter? |

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?'' |
3876 | At these words, my cousin looked very much astonished, and said,"Was he not right?" |
3876 | At this moment the Lieutenant of Police entered, and Madame said to him,"Have you seen M. de Mirabeau''s book?" |
3876 | Besides, who could so immediately have invented it? |
3876 | Do you know her joke on the nomination of Moras? |
3876 | Do you know what he said to me to- day? |
3876 | He stopped, and added,"Do n''t you think I am a little like the curate and the barber burning Don Quixote''s romances?" |
3876 | I asked Madame, if the young lady knew that the King was the father of her child? |
3876 | I took the liberty to say,"But is it not more likely from his young ladies at the Parc, that he learns these elegant expressions? |
3876 | Is it not saying to him, I despise your gifts? |
3876 | Is not all this mere empty air? |
3876 | Is not this insulting Faraki? |
3876 | Is this report founded on truth? |
3876 | One evening, towards midnight, a bat flew into the apartment where the Court was; the King immediately cried out,"Where is General Crillon?" |
3876 | She said to me,"How is the Count?" |
3876 | Tell me who, of all the men who come hither, receives the greatest attentions?" |
3876 | This set everybody calling out,"Ou etais tu, Crillon?" |
3876 | What would be said of a father who got rid of the charge of his children as of a burthen? |
3876 | When I told this to Madame, she burst into tears, and said,"Is that a friend?" |
3876 | While she was at the door, she cried out,"What are all those trunks, Madame? |
3876 | Would a corrupted Parliament have braved the fury of the League, in order to preserve the crown for the legitimate sovereign? |
3554 | Bourrienne,said he,"can you imagine anything more pitiable than their system of finance? |
3554 | Do you know, Bourrienne,said he,"that I have been performing the duties of professor?" |
3554 | Has my wife been saying anything more to you about the Bourbons? |
3554 | Have you not read your bulletin? |
3554 | Have you read this bulletin? |
3554 | Well and had you not the resource of weak states? 3554 What are you doing there, Bourrienne? |
3554 | Where 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?" |
3554 | After this, what more can be wanted? |
3554 | Are you satisfied?" |
3554 | At another time he would say,"Your dress is none of the cleanest..... Do you ever change your gown? |
3554 | Bonaparte, on seeing the pearls, did not fail to say to Madame,"What is it you have got there? |
3554 | But are there no means of making them refund? |
3554 | But 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? |
3554 | But why? |
3554 | Can it for a moment be doubted that the principal agents of authority daily committed the most fraudulent peculations? |
3554 | Can you see how far reaction would extend?" |
3554 | Citizen, what say they of Bonaparte? |
3554 | Could it ever have been imagined that the correspondence of the army, to whom he addressed this proclamation, teemed with accusations against him? |
3554 | Could there be a greater proof of the Consul''s horror of tyranny? |
3554 | Did he do well? |
3554 | Did you ever know men rise by their own merit under kings? |
3554 | Do n''t you think we have not worked badly since that time? |
3554 | Do you imagine that all those who came to flatter me were sincere? |
3554 | Do you not read them? |
3554 | Do you recollect the necklace?" |
3554 | Do you remember what you said to me in the Rue St. Anne nearly two years ago?" |
3554 | Do you think I would have left you alone with a man like that? |
3554 | Have they not actually consumed 75,000,000 in advance? |
3554 | He showed me this letter, saying,"What do you think of it? |
3554 | How shall I be sure that you will not compromise other persons equally unjustly? |
3554 | How was she to wear a necklace purchased without her husband''s knowledge? |
3554 | I asked Josephine whether she wore out two hats in one day? |
3554 | I know what will be your answer; but are you not able to impose whatever conditions you may think fit? |
3554 | I was directed to answer,"The First Consul,"to the sentinel''s challenge of,"Who goes there?" |
3554 | Is he still here?" |
3554 | Tell me why you wish the Bourbons back? |
3554 | Was not this opinion of Bonaparte, formed on the past, fully verified by the future? |
3554 | Was not this well done, Bourrienne? |
3554 | Well, whom do you think I mean to appoint in his place? |
3554 | What do people say of that buffoon, Bonaparte?" |
3554 | What do you think I did at the Temple? |
3554 | What respect, indeed, could Bonaparte entertain for the applicants to the treasury of the opera? |
3554 | What should he have cared for the column which we beheld on our arrival in Alexandria had it not been Pompey''s pillar? |
3554 | What was to be done? |
3554 | What will become of us when you are gone? |
3554 | What would have ensued? |
3554 | When Bonaparte returned to his cabinet he said to Rapp,"Tell me, Rapp, why you left these doors open, and stopped with Bourrienne?" |
3554 | When I had examined it I said,"General, it has been due for a long time; why have you not got it paid? |
3554 | When he looked at them he said,"Here is money-- what is the meaning of this?" |
3554 | Where did you get these pearls? |
3554 | Who but a thorough Republican, the stanch friend of equality, would have done this? |
3554 | Who could help being intoxicated by so much enthusiasm? |
3554 | Who would suppose it? |
3554 | Who, in Heaven''s name, has not already inhabited this palace? |
3554 | Yet what was this liberty? |
3554 | You talk of the future; but what will be the future fate of France? |
3554 | carried off? |
3554 | how could you send me such reports as these? |
3554 | how?" |
3554 | is it not good? |
3554 | was it not in your power to let them escape?" |
3553 | Did he speak about Egypt? |
3553 | Have you seen him, Bourrienne? |
3553 | Sieyès, however, is a very profound man.--"Profound?" |
3553 | What did you go there for? |
3553 | What 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? |
3553 | What would you have, my dear? |
3553 | You 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?" |
3553 | And at what a time did this disaster befall him? |
3553 | And was this not to be obtained? |
3553 | And why should he have done so? |
3553 | And, finally, what must be done with them when under the ramparts of that town, if we should be able to take them there? |
3553 | As for me, have I not, I ask you, made sufficient advances to him? |
3553 | As 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? |
3553 | As 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? |
3553 | But what did Napoleon himself say on the subject at St. Helena? |
3553 | Could it be done? |
3553 | Could they be incorporated, disarmed, with our soldiers in the ranks? |
3553 | Could we even tell what might occur during the march? |
3553 | Do you know what passed when I took him aside? |
3553 | Finding me still alone with the sentinel, he asked me, smiling,"whether I had not been frightened?" |
3553 | General, what security would you have?" |
3553 | Have I food for them?--ships to convey them to Egypt or France? |
3553 | Have not the keys of Damascus already been offered me? |
3553 | How then should the news alluded to have escaped me? |
3553 | I asked him to give me his word that he would do nothing against me; what do you think was his answer?" |
3553 | I have kept no memoranda of their names; and indeed, what advantage would there have been in doing so? |
3553 | If the infected were removed, why not mention it? |
3553 | Instead of giving an explanation of what he had said, he began to make fresh accusations; and against whom? |
3553 | Is Fortune to be again brought forward here? |
3553 | Is history to be written from such documents? |
3553 | It was then asked how we could, without that consent, have attempted such an enterprise? |
3553 | One day, after a long pause, he said to me:"Do you know what I am thinking of?" |
3553 | Should the prisoners be set at liberty? |
3553 | Should they be embarked? |
3553 | Should they be sent into Egypt? |
3553 | This boasting might impose on those who did not see the real state of things; but what were we to think of it? |
3553 | What did Bernadotte do? |
3553 | What do you think of that, Bourrienne?" |
3553 | What do you want me to do with them?" |
3553 | What is a Christian dog to a Turk? |
3553 | What might happen in the event of a battle before St. Jean d''Acre? |
3553 | What more could we do in Syria but lose men and time, neither of which the General had to spare? |
3553 | What would he do with me? |
3553 | When I returned to the tent of the General- in- Chief he asked,"How is Caffarelli?" |
3553 | When we were alone the General said to me,"Well, what do you think of that?" |
3553 | Where had they disembarked, who had received them; what had been done with them? |
3553 | Where were the ships?--Where could they be found? |
3553 | Who could grant them? |
3553 | Why be silent on so important an event? |
3553 | Why then should it be put upon record? |
3553 | Why this silence? |
3553 | Why, in the devil''s name, have they served me thus?" |
3553 | With this conviction, would he have left the head apothecary in that town? |
3553 | Would it be believed? |
3553 | Would you believe it? |
3553 | Would you imagine it? |
3553 | [ 31]--[Here Bourrienne says in a note"Where did Sir Walter Scott learn that we were neither seen nor recognised? |
3553 | do you not see that the Druses only wait for the fall of Acre to rise in rebellion? |
3553 | to wish to hear that preface? |
3553 | what are you about?" |
3553 | would you believe it? |
3877 | Are there any persons about the Court likely to become mad? |
3877 | I 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?" |
3877 | Is that lady ill? |
3877 | She came, then, to beg for some assistance? |
3877 | Was the Court of Francis I. very brilliant? |
3877 | What did she come for, then? |
3877 | What is all this, Count? |
3877 | Why,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? |
3877 | A moment after, M. de Gontaut came in and said,"D''Amblimont, who shall have the Swiss guards?" |
3877 | Are you not master of the Parliaments, as well as of all the rest of the kingdom?'' |
3877 | But,"said the King,"what do you think is the amount?" |
3877 | Do you see that ship on the high sea? |
3877 | Do you want to play the''bel esprit'', my dear good woman? |
3877 | Duclos resumed:"Well,"said he,"do you know the story of M. de C-----? |
3877 | If the King had come up while we were there, do you think he would have recognised us?" |
3877 | Madame said,"When shall I die, and of what disease?" |
3877 | Mademoiselle Romans said to me,"Do you live in this neighbourhood?" |
3877 | One day, at her toilet, Madame said to him, in my presence,"What was the personal appearance of Francis I.? |
3877 | The King laughed, and said,"Whose fine verses are those?" |
3877 | There, do you see these little bags? |
3877 | What alterations would it be necessary to make in me, now, to render it impossible to recognise me?" |
3877 | What does the public say of it? |
3877 | What would the good prelate say if he knew that I shared my last quarter''s allowance with a charming little opera- dancer? |
3877 | Will you try to put a hundred and sixty louis into my pocket?" |
3877 | because he has a good- natured air, and a bourgeois tone? |
3877 | is Duclos an acquaintance of yours? |
3877 | what do I see? |
3877 | who is he that persecutes them? |
43209 | But you have a camera; is n''t that enough? 43209 Have I the pleasure of addressing Madame Bazin?" |
43209 | Indeed,I remarked, with every evidence of surprise,"and who got hold of the feather first?" |
43209 | Then, of course, you must have known the noted village character Father Adam, who sold his donkey to this Scottish traveller? |
43209 | These gentlemen travel for pleasure? |
43209 | Well? |
43209 | What shall I say of Clarisse? |
43209 | --R. L. S.] If his descent was thus, how much more so ours on our whirling wheels? |
43209 | Did he know Stevenson? |
43209 | L. S.] Is that not a lovely monument to have? |
43209 | Perhaps the Bazins knew how much I liked them? |
43209 | Perhaps they also were healed of some slights by the thanks that I gave them in my manner?" |
43209 | The bill? |
43209 | Thus, under the representation of Christ falling while bearing His cross we read:"Who is it that causes Jesus to fall a second time? |
43209 | We knew, of course, what Stevenson had said of her? |
43209 | What is he to say that will not be an anti- climax?" |
43209 | What will you? |
43209 | What would you in such a case? |
43209 | Would we care to see her photograph? |
43209 | Yet he was ever an adventurer in search of beauty, and who shall say his quest was vain? |
43209 | Yet not always the same, for where was M. Bonnaire? |
43209 | is that life?" |
43209 | or"Watter, richt on?" |
56211 | D---- you, for a fool,he said;"what sort of a shot do you call that? |
56211 | Do you think you could find it? |
56211 | Hallo,he said,"why Harris, old boy,_ you_ are not going to begin, are you?" |
56211 | Hallo? |
56211 | More luck and grace to you,said Mc Lauchlan;"and it''s that you''re maning, is it?" |
56211 | Walcheren,he inquired,"eh?" |
56211 | What age are you, Rifleman? |
56211 | What have you got there, sir? |
56211 | What trade have you been of? |
56211 | Where have you been? |
56211 | Why do n''t they come on like men,they cried,"whilst we''ve strength left in us to fight them?" |
56211 | At length Captain Leech observed her, and called out to the company,"Does any man here know what has happened to Cochan? |
56211 | Do you think you are fighting here with your fists, that you are running into the teeth of the French?" |
56211 | Men began to look into each other''s faces, and ask the question"Are we ever to be halted again?" |
56211 | Musther Hills,"I heard him say,"where the d--- l is this you''re taking us to?" |
56211 | Rifleman,"he said,"how came you here?" |
56211 | What have you done for him?" |
56211 | do you remember what happened to me at Salamanca?" |
56211 | he 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?" |
56211 | looking for money, my lad,"said he,"eh?" |
56211 | no shoes, Harris, I see, eh?" |
28169 | Count? |
28169 | Is that all? |
28169 | Under what auspices,I asked the Chamber,"and in the name of what principles and interests has the present Ministry been formed? |
28169 | What brings this young man here? |
28169 | Who are they? |
28169 | Who 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?" |
28169 | Again, in the event of a dissolution, would the King be more certain of a majority? |
28169 | An aide- de- camp of_ Monsieur_ said to me,''Viscount, I scarcely hoped to see you here; have you received no communication?'' |
28169 | And if we are not to trust them, how are we to supply ourselves with information? |
28169 | And what, after all, was the cause? |
28169 | Are we better informed or more fortunate than Sir Walter Raleigh? |
28169 | Are you a staunch advocate for constitutional government and political guarantees? |
28169 | Besides, what interest have we in compelling the King to make a stand? |
28169 | But 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? |
28169 | But how could we have escaped this rock? |
28169 | By what institutions could the control and influence of the nation in its government be exercised? |
28169 | Did he entertain the hope of treating with and dividing the Coalition? |
28169 | Do you wish to live and act in co- operation with the party which hoists this standard? |
28169 | Does the mind only enlighten itself to increase its wavering? |
28169 | From what institution was it expected? |
28169 | From whence proceeded the rudeness of this dismissal? |
28169 | Gentlemen, has this happened? |
28169 | Has it been exercised with activity, energy, confidence, and efficacy? |
28169 | Has it exercised it skilfully, and increased it in the exercise? |
28169 | Has power strengthened itself within the last seven months? |
28169 | Have you observed that no one seems to have comprehended its design? |
28169 | How could it be replaced? |
28169 | How could she maintain her power? |
28169 | How could they repulse the blow with which Royalty menaced the existing institutions, without inflicting on Royalty a mortal wound in return? |
28169 | How is a Cabinet to be composed? |
28169 | How was it possible not to cherish this hope? |
28169 | I answered,''No; what am I likely to receive?'' |
28169 | I have demanded at your hands the restitution of my work: am I to hope that it will be restored? |
28169 | If Cæsar, Sallust, or Tacitus have only been able to transmit doubtful and imperfect notions, can we rely on what they relate? |
28169 | Is it possible to submit to your rod with more ingenuousness? |
28169 | Must we learn to become Greeks, Romans, or Barbarians, in order to understand these Romans, Barbarians, or Greeks, before we venture to judge them? |
28169 | O grave, where is thy victory?" |
28169 | Shall 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? |
28169 | The latter demanded in whom they could have confidence with regard to the French question, and with whom they should treat in such a crisis? |
28169 | Through what channels was it sought? |
28169 | To avoid resistance and contest, would the following plan be available? |
28169 | Was not the study of astronomy for a long time directed to the dreams of astrology? |
28169 | What becomes then of my reign of eleven years? |
28169 | What course would he propose to himself? |
28169 | What did we understand by it? |
28169 | What has the actual Ministry done with that moral ascendency which belongs naturally, without premeditation or labour, to the King''s government? |
28169 | What measures would he adopt? |
28169 | What sovereign could refuse the pardon, of which he has given a glimpse to the condemned criminal? |
28169 | What then are we to seek and find in the darkness of the past, which thickens as it recedes from us? |
28169 | What was, in reality, the end which the leaders of the party, apparently on the very verge of success, proposed to themselves? |
28169 | What were to be the guarantees of liberty, and consequently of all the interests which liberty itself was intended to guarantee? |
28169 | What will be the end of all this? |
28169 | What will this new bill be? |
28169 | What would be the fruit of this as regarded himself? |
28169 | What would become of the revolutionary cause and its partisans under the second Restoration, now imminently approaching? |
28169 | What would even be the fate of this second Restoration if it could not govern and uphold itself better than its predecessor? |
28169 | Where do you wish me to look for the elements of that aristocracy which the peerage demands?... |
28169 | Which of the two would profit most by the electoral services derived from the society of_ Aide- toi, le Ciel t''aidera_? |
28169 | Which of these two principles provokes or even permits the exclusive supremacy of the middle classes? |
28169 | Who 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? |
28169 | Who will succeed them? |
28169 | Why talk to me of innate virtue, of abstract justice, of natural laws? |
28169 | Will it be said that the King is not more certain of a majority after the proposed reduction than at present? |
28169 | Will the Ministers endeavour to hold place? |
28169 | Will they retire partially or all together? |
28169 | With generous irony, he replied to those who objected to me as a Protestant,"Do you think I intend to make him Pope?" |
28169 | Would his advice be taken, and his co- operation be accepted? |
28169 | Would it not imply that I am the inventor of this style? |
28169 | Would the Abbé de Montesquiou and M. de Blacas still be his rivals? |
28169 | Would time be given for this difficult undertaking? |
28169 | and by what restrictions, conformable to the nature of these causes, can we modify without destroying its freedom? |
28169 | and how shall we gradually remove these qualifications, for the present considered necessary? |
28169 | have you exhausted their efficacy?'' |
28169 | replied M. Royer- Collard, in the same tone,"make yourself a Count?" |
28169 | that it has been hitherto unheard of, and is singular and new? |
28169 | the middle classes, elevated to their rights, or the privileged orders of earlier times? |
28169 | the victors or the vanquished of 1789? |
41689 | Is this proposal too much? 41689 Now, what are the conditions which they call impossible? |
41689 | What 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?" |
41689 | But again, would the French military admit of our claims to be an International Ambulance? |
41689 | Could any combination of circumstances make such a thing possible? |
41689 | Could this be true? |
41689 | Hence 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? |
41689 | How could I dream of going out alone to a foreign country, where the fiercest war of the century was raging? |
41689 | How, I often said to myself, could soldiers fight, who were habitually suffering from hunger, cold, and fatigue, like these poor fellows? |
41689 | In this instance the property was ultimately restored to its rightful owner; but, in how many cases is that never done? |
41689 | Shall 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? |
41689 | Shall I ever see you again, and thank you with my own lips? |
41689 | The challenge now came to us on all sides in French,"_ Qui vive?_"We replied,"_ Deux officiers de l''Ambulance Anglo- Américaine_". |
41689 | The deed, though sanguinary, was not cruel; and where should the wounded find refuge if not under the sacred roof? |
41689 | The greenhouse and conservatories,--who shall tell their ruin? |
41689 | The 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? |
41689 | There was associated with every individual in this great host of patients an interesting story,--how, when, and where did they receive their wounds? |
41689 | Were they altogether in the wrong? |
41689 | What am I to tell you about my wound? |
41689 | What could a Declaration of Independence do for such feudal enthusiasm as this? |
41689 | What did we get in their place? |
41689 | What had become, meanwhile, of the defeated and entrapped army of prisoners? |
41689 | What has induced him to leave his home and country at such an age? |
41689 | What was the explanation of it? |
41689 | What would these officers have done, had they travelled in the same railway carriage with M. de Rothschild? |
41689 | Who and what was he? |
41689 | Who has given work to the millions of the labouring class throughout France? |
41689 | Who has made Paris one of the most beautiful cities of the world, and the Capital of Europe? |
41689 | Who ruled France when she was the most rich and prosperous of nations, with a trade and commerce more extensive than ever before?" |
41689 | Who shall reckon the number of French dead in the many graves adjacent? |
41689 | Who were we, whence had we come, and whither were we going? |
41689 | Whom have we to thank for these things but the Emperor? |
41689 | Would they, in the flush and the tumult of victory, overlook the fact that we were neutrals, engaged simply in alleviating the horrors of war? |
41689 | or take us prisoners and send us beyond the frontier? |
34684 | Admirably? |
34684 | Are you quite sure? |
34684 | But,you will say,"surely the Reverend Mr. Shaw gave his$ 5000 to the poor, or to some good cause----?" |
34684 | I have proved that I can fight,he says;"why should I fight a hopeless battle?" |
34684 | Indeed,said Sheridan,"and what are your colors?" |
34684 | My dear brethren,he cried,"is it possible that you can thus place the love of filthy lucre above the love of virtue?" |
34684 | Was that brave, to hide behind a wall? |
34684 | Well, and what did they make you say on your wedding day? |
34684 | What 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? |
34684 | And why must we live? |
34684 | Ballerich for a fictitious person, in order to take stock of the premises, did you not? |
34684 | But one question I would ask of you: Why do you send your invectives to the wrong address? |
34684 | But there''s the rub; what is the use of ideas, when one has no capital? |
34684 | But where is he to go? |
34684 | But, if the Englishman knows how to take it, do you believe he feels it the less for that? |
34684 | Can we imagine a pleasure party of any kind without the presence of women? |
34684 | Did he go to war with America? |
34684 | Do n''t you know that soap is indispensable to an Englishman or an American; and that only a Frenchman can do without it?" |
34684 | Do not the very prejudices and weaknesses, the thousand little failings of our friends, often endear them to us? |
34684 | Do we not love to find them in a dear old mother? |
34684 | Do you remember the great manifestations in favor of the abolition of the House of Lords? |
34684 | Do you think a Frenchman your equal? |
34684 | Does it not seem as if any second chamber must necessarily be dangerous or useless? |
34684 | Does not the solitude of English cemeteries show how little our neighbors share this feeling? |
34684 | Does this prove that they have less intelligence or more generosity? |
34684 | Enemies? |
34684 | Even 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? |
34684 | For that matter, why should England go in for inventing? |
34684 | Girardin? |
34684 | Have we ever bestowed unlimited admiration upon those whose society we frequent every day? |
34684 | I must lean my head on your shoulder; you do n''t mind, do you?" |
34684 | If, from our childhood, woman were the companion of our daily games and walks, should we not look upon her with different eyes? |
34684 | Is a country less dear to her sons because of her prejudices? |
34684 | Is it not always clothed in mystery? |
34684 | Is it not strange that music- hall jingoism and_ chauvinisme_ should not only be expressed in the same manner, but by the very same words? |
34684 | Is it possible that we Frenchmen, the most home- abiding men in the world, can be attacked by this ridiculous mania for change? |
34684 | Is not the object of man''s worship always something unknown, extraordinary, ideal? |
34684 | Jacques Bonhomme scarcely knew what a Plebiscite was; but he went to see his parish priest, who said to him:"Are you married, Jacques?" |
34684 | Now, could Mr. George Augustus Sala, with his knowledge of London dairy produce, pay my book a more witty and graceful compliment? |
34684 | Poor Marquis de Boissy, what would you have said, if you had lived long enough to receive invitations to_ five o''clocquer_? |
34684 | The men who have suffered for country, religion, science, liberty; are these Carlyle''s fools? |
34684 | The virtuous Germans that vanquished us, were they, after all, so clever at geography and French? |
34684 | Then why are we not content with France as she is? |
34684 | Then, seeing the table garnished with good things, he cries:"My friends, why must we eat? |
34684 | Try how many followers you will get for a standard of revolt raised with the cry:"The people are being syringed?" |
34684 | Was it apologies he wanted? |
34684 | What can it possibly be made of, this nauseating decoction? |
34684 | What happened? |
34684 | What has become of all the fine promises of the ministry?" |
34684 | What meant those jeremiads? |
34684 | What shall I do? |
34684 | What was I to do? |
34684 | What will the French schoolboys do? |
34684 | When he marries, woman is not exactly an enigma to him; but do you think he is any the worse husband for that? |
34684 | When shall we cease to become inventors and be men of business? |
34684 | When shall we, in France, cease to strive after the extraordinary and the universal? |
34684 | When you left she was still alive? |
34684 | Where is the nation that can boast such another? |
34684 | Who among us has not admired and blessed them? |
34684 | Who does not drag him in the mud? |
34684 | Who does not take upon himself to judge him without appeal? |
34684 | Why are we obliged to make use of this word to designate a child of the feminine sex? |
34684 | Why be always wanting to change her? |
34684 | Why is Roman Catholicism perfectly powerless in England, politically speaking? |
34684 | Why not_ English Philosophy_? |
34684 | Will you ever forget the bloodcurdling ghost stories that you listened to so breathlessly in the twilight, as you roasted chestnuts in the embers? |
34684 | Will you have a few rather diverting illustrations, taken right and left? |
34684 | Would_ Monsieur_ like to see my English stock?" |
34684 | Yet what happened? |
34684 | You 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? |
34684 | when he is bold enough to buy a dozen railway shares, like the smallest shopkeeper in the land? |
9975 | I 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?" |
9975 | Where did you see that? |
9975 | And what if they are? |
9975 | How will she use it? |
9975 | Shall we win? |
9975 | The Belgian authorities asked at the French headquarters:"What shall we do with him?" |
9975 | The maid slyly asked:"Is that the road to Paris?" |
9975 | What if we were yet to be defeated again and again? |
58268 | They 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? |
58268 | Voulez vous que j''en fasse?_ an expression, the force of which is rendered sufficiently obvious by the critical circumstances of his position. |
58268 | What may be the consequences of these events? |
58268 | What, then, might not be achieved by such innate valour-- by such consummate discipline? |
58268 | was likely to satisfy the Allies, and would be such an arrangement as would induce me to stop my operations? |
58268 | what return did they make for this confidence? |
46035 | ''How many?'' 46035 ''Well, then, why not send him to my school at Saint- Michel de Frigolet?'' |
46035 | But 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? |
46035 | Is that your husband, madame? |
46035 | And if we never had the heavy rains, how would our wells and springs and rivers be fed? |
46035 | But may they not have been right after all? |
46035 | Can one see the like anywhere else in Europe? |
46035 | Did it not live and sing around me, this poem of Provence with its blue depths framed by the Alpilles? |
46035 | Do they perhaps persuade themselves that they see it, as many others must have done before them? |
46035 | Do those who hold it still watch with strained attention on Good Fridays for the"holy miracle"to be performed? |
46035 | He approached her and said:"''Where do you come from, little one? |
46035 | In three years, when he had done with the army, who knew? |
46035 | Is he ill, or has he been eating cinders?'' |
46035 | Is it too fanciful to suppose that there is some foundation in fact for the legend of his beginning his great work as a child? |
46035 | Say that there has been error, say that there has been fraud if you like, and what have you denied? |
46035 | Supposing those great winds which bring life to Provence never blew, how would the mists and fogs of our marshes be dispersed? |
46035 | Then, if there was talk of any one, he would ask first:''Is he a good worker?'' |
46035 | What can one say of it? |
46035 | What is your name?'' |
46035 | What was it that they hated so? |
46035 | What was the meaning of this strange crime? |
46035 | Where do they come from? |
46035 | Where is the relic hidden now? |
46035 | Why 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? |
12967 | And the Constable,said Madame,"what do you say of him?" |
12967 | And the young lady? |
12967 | And what does he advise? |
12967 | Are there any persons about the Court likely to become mad? |
12967 | But they go too far,said Mirabeau;"why openly attack religion?" |
12967 | But who is it,answered she,"that tells you all this? |
12967 | Did the King,said I,"show her particular attention?" |
12967 | Do you remember the driver of the_ fiacre_? 12967 Doctor, can you get me any of it?" |
12967 | How do you mean? |
12967 | How is Madame de Pompadour? |
12967 | I forgot,replied Madame,"that the Duke said,''I want extremely to be in the fashion, but which sister shall I take up? |
12967 | I 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?" |
12967 | I have the honour of knowing him, then, Madame? |
12967 | Is he not just about to be made Cardinal? |
12967 | Is it possible, Madame, that you can have been rendered uneasy by such a creature as that? |
12967 | Is that lady ill? |
12967 | She came, then, to beg for some assistance? |
12967 | That is his way,said she;"but do not those children appear made for each other? |
12967 | Was the Court of Francis I. very brilliant? |
12967 | Well, what think you of the part I am playing? |
12967 | Well,said she,"M. de Seurre, what do you think of all this?" |
12967 | What absurdity now? |
12967 | What did she come for, then? |
12967 | What do you mean? |
12967 | What do you say to them? |
12967 | What do you think of it? |
12967 | What is all this, Count? |
12967 | What is the matter? |
12967 | What, sir,said my relation,"the Marquise''s equerry of a princely house?" |
12967 | Who are those two noblemen? |
12967 | Why does he enjoy so much consideration? |
12967 | Why,said she,"is the Marquise so violent an enemy to the Jesuits? |
12967 | Yes, Madame; but it was not I who denounced it? |
12967 | You prove that? |
12967 | You 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?" |
12967 | And can I then be justly said to live? |
12967 | And who knows but they might seek their revenge upon me by taking away your life? |
12967 | Are you not master of the Parliaments, as well as of all the rest of the kingdom?'' |
12967 | At these words, my cousin looked very much astonished, and said,"Was he not right?" |
12967 | At this moment the Lieutenant of Police entered, and Madame said to him,"Have you seen M. de Mirabeau''s book?" |
12967 | Besides, who could so immediately have invented it? |
12967 | But what of that? |
12967 | But why name any others? |
12967 | But,"said the King,"what do you think is the amount?" |
12967 | Dead in estate, do I then yet survive? |
12967 | Dixi._"Madame said,"When shall I die, and of what disease?" |
12967 | Do n''t you know any better? |
12967 | Do n''t you think I am as great a rogue as that Simier?" |
12967 | Do you know her joke on the nomination of Moras? |
12967 | Do you know what he said to me to- day? |
12967 | Do you not perceive how dangerous his going will prove to my kingdom? |
12967 | Do you see that arm?" |
12967 | Do you see that ship on the high sea? |
12967 | Do you want to play the_ bel esprit_, my dear good woman? |
12967 | Duclos resumed:"Well,"said he,"do you know the story of M. de C----? |
12967 | Have they ever discoverd any hoards of money here or in the banks of Italy, as has been believed? |
12967 | He added,"Do n''t we daily hear of_ silly D''Argenson_, because he has a good- natured air, and a_ bourgeois_ tone? |
12967 | I asked Madame, if the young lady knew that the King was the father of her child? |
12967 | I took the liberty to say,"But is it not more likely from his young ladies at the Parc, that he learns these elegant expressions?" |
12967 | If the King had come up while we were there, do you think he would have recognised us?" |
12967 | Is it not saying to him, I despise your gifts? |
12967 | Is not all this mere empty air? |
12967 | Is not this insulting Faraki? |
12967 | Is this report founded on truth? |
12967 | Mademoiselle Romans said to me,"Do you live in this neighbourhood?" |
12967 | One day, at her toilet, Madame said to him, in my presence,"What was the personal appearance of Francis I.? |
12967 | One evening, towards midnight, a bat flew into the apartment where the Court was; the King immediately cried out,"Where is General Crillon?" |
12967 | She 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?" |
12967 | She said to me,"How is the Count?" |
12967 | Tell me who, of all the men who come hither, receives the greatest attentions?" |
12967 | The King laughed, and said,"Whose fine verses are those?" |
12967 | The King said,"Why so? |
12967 | This set everybody calling out,"_ Où etais- tu, Crillon?_"M. de Crillon soon after came in, and was told where the enemy was. |
12967 | Was not this making her Regent in his absence giving her ample opportunities to have full knowledge of them? |
12967 | What alterations would it be necessary to make in me, now, to render it impossible to recognise me?" |
12967 | What 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? |
12967 | What does the public say of it? |
12967 | What grounds are there for such a calumny? |
12967 | What was the secret of her long continued hold upon the King? |
12967 | What would be said of a father who got rid of the charge of his children as of a burthen? |
12967 | What would the good prelate say if he knew that I shared my last quarter''s allowance with a charming little opera- dancer? |
12967 | While she was at the door, she cried out,"What are all those trunks, Madame? |
12967 | Who was she? |
12967 | Why, then, should she have undertaken to conclude the peace I have just mentioned, if she had been? |
12967 | Will you oblige me so far as to rise and go to Fosseuse, who is taken very ill? |
12967 | Will you try to put a hundred and sixty louis into my pocket?" |
12967 | Would a corrupted Parliament have braved the fury of the League, in order to preserve the crown for the legitimate sovereign? |
12967 | cried I,"has my brother no one else to send a message by?" |
12967 | for me''tis now too late[9] To strive''gainst Fortune and contend with Fate; Of those I slighted, can I beg relief? |
12967 | is Duclos an acquaintance of yours? |
12967 | said she,"Sire, look at----""At what?" |
12967 | who is he that persecutes them? |
45479 | Will you not submit to our holy father, the Pope? |
45479 | 1. Who Made the Gods? |
45479 | And which of us would like to be guided to the chambers of the inquisition, and the flames of the stake by"heavenly voices"? |
45479 | And why do I take pleasure in proving this to be inevitable? |
45479 | Another important question is: Why was she put to death? |
45479 | But is it just to hold the whole Church responsible for the crime of an insignificant minority?" |
45479 | But was Joan a heretic? |
45479 | But why should the Church move heaven and earth to prove that it has never committed a mistake? |
45479 | But why was it to the interest of the English to have Joan declared a witch? |
45479 | Does it look as though the crime against Joan were the work of a discredited minority in the Catholic Church? |
45479 | Furthermore, if only a part of the church persecuted the young woman, what did the rest of the church do to save her? |
45479 | How could a king, anointed by the help of a witch, be the king of a Christian nation? |
45479 | How do we explain her"voices"and her"visions"? |
45479 | I shall reproduce in this connection what I said about him after my interview with him:"Who are the Rationalists?" |
45479 | If 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? |
45479 | If, on the other hand, she should hold to her infallibility, how can she be sorry for anything she has ever done? |
45479 | Is not that wonderful? |
45479 | Is not this a pertinent question? |
45479 | Is this denied? |
45479 | Joan was sacrificed, nay,--the honor of France, of Europe, of civilization, of humanity-- was flung into the fire with Joan, to save-- what? |
45479 | The Gospel of Sport-- What Shall I Do to Be Saved? |
45479 | The hands, it is evident, commit the acts, but whose hands are they? |
45479 | Walking up to the woman, I said,"What fountain is this?" |
45479 | Was Jesus a Socialist? |
45479 | What do you think was the motive of this revision? |
45479 | What has Christ Done for the World? |
45479 | What has he done for France? |
45479 | What is the Trouble with the World? |
45479 | Who is he? |
45479 | Why did her voices, if they were divine, desert her when she needed their help most? |
45479 | Why did they not assume the responsibility for the acts for which she was destroyed? |
45479 | Why did they not save her from prison and the stake? |
45479 | Why does St. Michael usurp the place of honor over the altar? |
17067 | ''And yet--''''Well, have you found this ghost?'' |
17067 | ''Well then?'' 17067 ''Well, what of the curtain? |
17067 | A fine book; do you know it? |
17067 | And did nothing happen afterwards? |
17067 | And the husband? |
17067 | And you heard nothing more from Tournebut? |
17067 | Are you sure,asked Chauvel,"that that really is your mother''s writing?" |
17067 | Arrested? |
17067 | If the case is a worthy one,said Napoleon,"why did he not send me word of it? |
17067 | It is over, is n''t it? |
17067 | Rue Chanoinesse? |
17067 | To go where? |
17067 | Was your mother called as a witness? |
17067 | What were my means of entertaining at least the hope of success? 17067 When do you start?" |
17067 | You know for certain, sir, what this letter contains? |
17067 | ''And our food?'' |
17067 | A hero or an adventurer?--And the husband, the lawyer and the friends of the house? |
17067 | A heroine or a lunatic?--and the lover? |
17067 | Acquet''s friends, his confederate Delaitre and the Prefect Caffarelli, without arousing any one''s suspicion or wounding their susceptibilities? |
17067 | Acquet, whom they were vainly seeking throughout Normandy? |
17067 | Acquet? |
17067 | And could not another try to do what Georges Cadoudal had attempted? |
17067 | And what are ten years in politics? |
17067 | At what moment did Licquet cease to play a double part with her? |
17067 | Besides, what would she have said?" |
17067 | But in any case, why the tower? |
17067 | But where could he go? |
17067 | But would they not find gendarmes there? |
17067 | By whom was Le Chevalier informed in his hiding- place of his sister- in- law''s arrest? |
17067 | D''Aché? |
17067 | Did Georges see in this a last hope of safety? |
17067 | Did Le Chevalier believe in this Utopia? |
17067 | Did Réal not dare to stand sponsor for such a candidate? |
17067 | Did he believe he could escape in the crowd? |
17067 | Did 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"? |
17067 | Did they esteem it better to feign ignorance, or was it in reality the act of subalterns working unknown to their chiefs? |
17067 | Did they know of the snares laid for these unhappy creatures? |
17067 | Did they not dare to put them on their guard for fear of offending the English government? |
17067 | Did they think that the cross, given hitherto so parsimoniously to civilians, was not meant for the police? |
17067 | Do you know so little of my heart and are you so ignorant of the love I bore Gilbert? |
17067 | From Tournebut, where, in spite of the search made, he could have lived concealed for six months in some well- equipped hiding- place? |
17067 | From the landing my mother cried,''Is any one there?'' |
17067 | From where had he come? |
17067 | Had Licquet been to Paris between these two dates? |
17067 | Had he breathed it to Réal? |
17067 | Had he recently returned to Tournebut? |
17067 | He wrote very courageously to Réal:"You will doubtless ask me, M. le Comte, why I have not tried to show up the truth? |
17067 | How came it that he was, in a way, mutilated? |
17067 | How will the gendarmes be able to fulfil their duties without fear of being treated as assassins or wild beasts?" |
17067 | If they asked me, what should I say?" |
17067 | In what costume did Licquet appear at Caen? |
17067 | In what manner did he listen to the love- sick confidences of his prisoner? |
17067 | In what sadly sympathetic tones did he reply to the glowing pictures she drew of her lover? |
17067 | In what way was the son used to capture the father? |
17067 | Is it not better to tell you everything?" |
17067 | Lefebre had ridden it from Tournebut; but was that a fact to be so carefully concealed? |
17067 | Moisson accommodated there without being taken into her hostess''s confidence? |
17067 | My hand trembles; can you read this? |
17067 | On the platform? |
17067 | One of the Bourbon princes, perhaps? |
17067 | Ought I not to respect the secret of the authorities?" |
17067 | Since no mystery was made of the journey, why was its means of accomplishment important? |
17067 | The idea pleased the Marquise; but who would undertake to discover the fugitive and arrange for her embarcation? |
17067 | The muslin fichu, the little curtains, the nail-- was this a cipher decided on in advance between the prisoners? |
17067 | Then, allowing the three others to go on ahead, he said to me,''But if they arrest us, what will they do to us?'' |
17067 | Was he still there? |
17067 | Was she young and pretty? |
17067 | Was this not d''Aché? |
17067 | Was this the rent they paid for Hartwell? |
17067 | Were not the germs of the whole story of the Restoration in Le Chevalier''s profession of faith? |
17067 | Were they not found again, five years later, in the astonishing conception of Malet? |
17067 | Were they the instigators or the dupes? |
17067 | Were things very different in 1814? |
17067 | What answer should he give? |
17067 | What are the terrible consequences to be expected from these facts if they are true? |
17067 | What horse? |
17067 | What is the reply, if, moreover, as is said, the person was seized, his hands tightly tied behind his back, and then shot? |
17067 | What must have been the Marquise''s grief and rage on learning that she had been deceived? |
17067 | What personality did he assume? |
17067 | What secret had Licquet discovered, that he did not dare to confide, except orally, and then only to the Imperial Chief of Police? |
17067 | What suspicion could attach to the owners of Donnay? |
17067 | Where was he? |
17067 | Who would have imagined that this elegant little house had been rented by Georges to shelter himself and his companions? |
17067 | Whom dared she trust, in her desperate situation? |
17067 | Whom had this horse drawn or carried? |
17067 | Why did the Marquise in her confidential letters insist on this point? |
17067 | Why should her lover have done such an infamous thing? |
17067 | Why, after having killed this man, did they leave him there, without troubling to comply with any of the necessary formalities? |
17067 | Will you be kind enough to obtain it for me?" |
17067 | Will you not wait till to- morrow evening?" |
17067 | With what invectives must she not have overwhelmed him when he ceased? |
17067 | You do n''t know about it? |
17067 | and if it is not, why did he give passports to a family whom I am obliged to send away in despair?" |
17067 | de Combray learn that her noblest illusions had been worked upon to make her give up her daughter and betray all her friends? |
17067 | de Combray remained silent? |
17067 | de Combray would reveal the secret of his retreat? |
17067 | de Combray, sanctified by Balzac? |
17067 | de la Chanterie?" |
17067 | do you think this is a time to congratulate me? |
8936 | But what would the great general have said, could be have seen his citadel thus dwarfed into insignificance by Vauban''s magnificent fortifications? |
8936 | Can anything be more absurd than the differences of rank that divide the population of our provincial towns? |
8936 | How can it be otherwise? |
8936 | In Republican France, now, who can doubt? |
8936 | Is nothing then ever caught in these pleasant streams, will ask the inquiring reader? |
8936 | Or was it our informant who was but half awake or in error? |
8936 | The second amusing, or rather surprising, fact is that of the luxurious, though I venture to say somewhat floridly decorated ladies smoking room? |
8936 | Vos erreurs sont- ils méchants? |
8936 | Were the roads bad, indeed, what would become of them? |
8936 | Were we dreaming? |
8936 | What was the poor girl''s astonishment to find that in Paris everybody was so far accomplished as to be able to read and write? |
8936 | and what would be Vauban''s amazement could he behold the stupendous works of modern strategists? |
45336 | Are you then recalled to Poland? |
45336 | Art thou the admiral? |
45336 | Do you pardon your enemies? |
45336 | Good people of Paris,said the Constable on his arrival at their camp,"what meaneth this? |
45336 | Good people,protested Marcel,"why would you do me ill? |
45336 | Is it for a man or a woman? |
45336 | Is it your will? |
45336 | My cure? 45336 Then,"said the king,"why am I asked to abandon it?" |
45336 | What did he die of? |
45336 | What do they take from me? |
45336 | What do you ask? |
45336 | Whither are you carrying that coffin? |
45336 | Who are you? |
45336 | And 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? |
45336 | As 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?" |
45336 | As the duke hastened to spoil his victims, crying out--"Where is the archbishop?" |
45336 | As we crossed the courtyard of the palace[23] he said:''Seest thou not what I perceive above this roof?'' |
45336 | At length he turned and said:"Know ye, my faithful servants, wherefore I weep thus bitterly? |
45336 | Do they turn to the right? |
45336 | He asked again,''Seest thou naught else?'' |
45336 | Louis XIV., who sat to him many times, one day, towards the end of his life, asked,"Do you find me changed?" |
45336 | My life? |
45336 | See you yon lights? |
45336 | Soldiers of Italy, will you lack courage?" |
45336 | Turning to the angels, Jesus said:"Know ye who hath thus arrayed Me? |
45336 | Well may St. Simon exclaim,"Are these princes made like other men?" |
45336 | When he entered Abbeville with the magnificent Duke of Burgundy, the people said"_ Benedicite!_ is that a king of France? |
45336 | Where is the ancient prowess of France? |
45336 | cried Maillart,"what dost thou here at this hour?" |
45336 | must I suffer new trouble every day?" |
45336 | shall I never be in peace? |
3882 | Oh,replied I,"then I suppose you are not a Jacobin?" |
3882 | Per 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? |
3882 | At what hour did the King go to the National Assembly? |
3882 | But,"added he,"are you perfectly certain they were not for that detestable Marie Antoinette?" |
3882 | Can Your Majesty pardon my presumption in differing from your royal counsel? |
3882 | Can it be wondered at that her marked grief should be visible when amidst the murderers of her family? |
3882 | Can they imagine they will be spared if the King should be murdered? |
3882 | Did he not, before he went, review the troops? |
3882 | Did you know of the Mayor of Paris being at the Tuileries? |
3882 | Did you not go to the apartments of the King in the course of that night? |
3882 | Did you see the Swiss and National Guards, who passed the night on the terrace? |
3882 | Do you know anything of a barred staircase? |
3882 | Do you know anything of an article of furniture which is making for Madame Elizabeth? |
3882 | Do you know the oath he made them swear? |
3882 | Do you know the secret doors of the Tuileries? |
3882 | Go on, what else have you heard?" |
3882 | Have you any knowledge of cannon being mounted and pointed in the apartments? |
3882 | Have you ever seen Messrs. Mandat and d''Affry in the chateau? |
3882 | Have you not recently received some devotional books? |
3882 | Have you not, since you have been in the Temple, received and written letters, which you sought to send away secretly? |
3882 | How can the Parisians complain that they found her Royal Highness, on her return to France, by no means what they required in a Princess? |
3882 | I 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?'' |
3882 | Must he even satiate his barbarous brutality with being an eye- witness of the horrid state into which he has thrown us? |
3882 | On passing the gate, I was accosted by a person who exclaimed in a tone of great kindness,"Qu''as tu, ma bonne? |
3882 | Then turning to me,"When,"said he,"did you leave Paris?" |
3882 | Then, turning suddenly to me, she asked with eagerness,"Do you not think she will? |
3882 | To the second, how can I accede? |
3882 | Was the King in his apartment when you went thither? |
3882 | Were you in bed on the nights of the 9th and 10th? |
3882 | What are the books which you have at the Temple? |
3882 | What do you know of the events which occurred on the 10th of August? |
3882 | What general officers did you see at the Tuileries, on the nights of the 9th and 10th? |
3882 | What said he when one of the heterogeneous, plebeian, revolutionary assemblies not only insulted him, but added to the insult a laugh? |
3882 | When Danton had finished telling her the story, she calmly said to me,"Do you recollect, child, the things you have been robbed of?" |
3882 | When the King observed to him,"What do the French nation want?" |
3882 | Where did you pass that day? |
3882 | Where were you then? |
3882 | Why did she not come to me instead of writing? |
3882 | Why do they not rise en masse to shield the Royal Family from these bloodhounds? |
3882 | Would Charles the Second ever have reigned after the murder of his father had England been torn to pieces by different factions? |
3882 | You were aware, then, that the people had arisen? |
3882 | Your name? |
3882 | cried I,"even though he should be at the Tuileries?" |
3882 | exclaimed Danton;"Did I not tell you this before?" |
3882 | qu''est ce qui vous afflige?" |
3882 | said the Queen,"is he not yet satisfied? |
3882 | why did she not fly to Vienna? |
43231 | Gad, then, why do n''t you raze it? |
43231 | What was to be done, what was to become of me? |
43231 | Who 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?) |
43231 | An iron door opens: what does one see? |
43231 | And what were his reasons? |
43231 | Astonished, he asked the fisherman,''Have you read what is written on this dish, and has anyone seen it in your hands?'' |
43231 | But why decline to humour a prisoner''s whim? |
43231 | Could I shut you out of my thoughts, you whom I bear always in my heart? |
43231 | He writes on another occasion:"The crime of every one of us is to have seen through your villainies: we are to perish, are we? |
43231 | Here we shall be arrested by the question, what is to be understood by a state prison? |
43231 | How had they got stranded there? |
43231 | How many of those who had entered there had ever been seen again? |
43231 | In the disorder, what was the fate of the archives? |
43231 | Is not this letter charming in its artless pathos? |
43231 | Is the mob to be reproached for these atrocious crimes? |
43231 | Is there any need to insist on the strength of the proofs afforded by these three documents, taken in connection one with another? |
43231 | Is this a man? |
43231 | Next day but one the officer came to me for the third time:''Why are you so obstinate?'' |
43231 | Of what crime was he guilty, accused, of, at any rate, suspected? |
43231 | Renneville, assuredly, was not treated with the same consideration as Voltaire; but, frankly, would you have wished it? |
43231 | Suppose we go and set them free?" |
43231 | The two captives had never seen each other, yet loved each other passionately: what will their mutual impressions be? |
43231 | Turning suddenly towards his keeper, Danry said,"What do you think of this weather?" |
43231 | Unluckily the young man had no money: how was he to pay his score? |
43231 | We ask ourselves,"Was he a fool? |
43231 | What are you about, my lord? |
43231 | What did this mean--_if_ he had any property,_ if_ he could find sureties? |
43231 | What is to become of him? |
43231 | What, actually and practically, were the means of government in the hands of the king? |
43231 | What, then, had he in his pocket? |
43231 | Who, he would like to know, had the insolence to make"an accusation so derogatory to his honour and his reputation?" |
43231 | did they take the Vicomte de Latude for a sharper? |
43231 | or was he a traitor?" |
43231 | said 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?" |
46069 | Do these people never rest? |
46069 | In God''s name,answered Joan,"are you making a mock of me, Captain? |
46069 | Must the King be driven from his kingdom and we become English? |
46069 | What do you here, my dear? |
46069 | What is to be thought of her? 46069 Who is thy Lord?" |
46069 | Who is your Lord? |
46069 | A strange story; but then these are strange times, and who shall say that this is unworthy of credence? |
46069 | And for what good was all this, one asks? |
46069 | And how to repay such kindness? |
46069 | And now what is left in place of the gray old churches, the quiet monasteries, the fruitful farms and flocks and the dense forests? |
46069 | But the treasures which it contained, now either destroyed or carried off to Berlin, who shall say if they can ever be replaced? |
46069 | Gentle dauphin, she said one day,"why do you not believe me? |
46069 | Had John of Luxembourg come out of sheer curiosity, or to relieve himself of certain scruples by offering Joan a chance for her life? |
46069 | How could the people who dwell in this terrible spot be other than debased? |
46069 | Ransom me? |
46069 | The 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?" |
46069 | There 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*? |
46069 | What could be expected from the dreams of a young peasant girl of nineteen? |
46069 | What of it? |
46069 | What vituperation did she not address to us? |
46069 | When will you set out?" |
46069 | Where shall the artist seek the matchless châteaux gardens, which took centuries in the making? |
46069 | Why should we priests not give our blood?'' |
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?'' |
46750 | But for you, my dear child, what would have become of them? |
46750 | But what am I saying? |
46750 | But what good will that do her?'' |
46750 | But what would become of those three children? |
46750 | I found at the door the jailer( no longer the good Benoît) with two turnkeys, who asked me:''What are you doing here?'' |
46750 | I heard them saying near me,''Do you see how agitated that young lady is, and how she talks to the other one?'' |
46750 | I highly approve of your lodgings; shall I tell my sister- in- law that I insist upon your remaining with your brothers? |
46750 | If Heaven spares my life it will be a precious moment to me( who could imagine one more so?) |
46750 | Is there no hope?'' |
46750 | Mademoiselle de Pons, much moved, said to her companion,''Is it possible that we are surrounded by such miserable beings?'' |
46750 | Marinot said to him, angrily,''What are you doing here? |
46750 | May I know what use you have for them?'' |
46750 | Revolution?_ Madame de Mouchy added:--''Having been united to my husband for fifty- two years I have entertained no opinions differing from his.'' |
46750 | Revolution?__ Have you not signed I have never signed any resolutions. |
46750 | They took me at my word, adding with eagerness,''Do you promise it?'' |
46750 | This terrible man continued in the same tone:''Why are there only three persons in this room? |
46750 | What will be my fate?'' |
46750 | What would the father and mother of these unfortunate children feel if you should abandon them? |
46750 | When the administrators arrived, with their caps pulled down over their eyes, to ask,''Have you no petitions to send in?'' |
46750 | When they came to the_ assignats_ I said,''Citizens, are you not going to count them?'' |
46750 | _ Are you a married man? |
46750 | _ Your age?_ In my seventy- ninth year. |
46750 | _ Your name?_ Noailles Mouchy. |
46750 | _ Your profession before and I have been a soldier from my youth; since the Revolution?_ and I have risen to the rank of Marshal of France. |
46750 | resolutions derogatory to liberty?__ What have you done for the All that was required of me. |
46750 | what can it be?'' |
46750 | why not?'' |
57786 | But do they make you take your cloak off? |
57786 | What,they would ask,"did the girl suppose he had married her for? |
57786 | And the question is, how is the seeing eye to be obtained? |
57786 | And what curves or angles ought they to follow? |
57786 | And what did she_ want_ to be married for? |
57786 | And what is marriage for, if not for that?" |
57786 | As emancipation has progressed, the young girl has been allowed a voice in choosing her husband; but what is the result? |
57786 | But if we have the thing, one may ask, what does the word matter? |
57786 | But what is the fundamental principle of the Montessori system? |
57786 | But what kind of strokes? |
57786 | But, in other respects, why should we Americans be conservative? |
57786 | Certainly-- why not? |
57786 | Do n''t you know they''ll give you the fever?" |
57786 | How many critics of the French conception of love have taken the trouble to consider first their idea of marriage? |
57786 | I. III TASTE I French taste? |
57786 | In the light of that definition, has not license kept the better part? |
57786 | Is either of these affirmations exact? |
57786 | Or is there any; and are not some races-- the artistically non- creative-- born as irremediably blind as Kentucky cave- fishes? |
57786 | That is the technical situation; but what is the practical fact? |
57786 | The point is, the French might return, what are we to be formed for? |
57786 | There are more people who can read in the United States; but what do they read? |
57786 | What has become, in America, of the copse, the spinney, the hedgerow, the dale, the vale, the weald? |
57786 | What is the operation for taste- blindness? |
57786 | What, then, is the place they give to the disturbing element? |
57786 | Why not have substituted as a title"Prejudice"--or simply"Stupidity"? |
57786 | Why, what do you mean?" |
57786 | _ Es ist verboten._""Forbidden? |
57786 | the 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?" |
45790 | How old do you think? |
45790 | I am a traveller, will it be permitted to inspect the château? 45790 No one save Jacques the huckster lives there, why should he excite any attention?" |
45790 | Time hath wings; how, O mortal, hast thou spent thine? |
45790 | ( Just what sort of clients do chauffeurs have?) |
45790 | And what, my dear Sir, may"Poliater"mean? |
45790 | As for the springs, where are they and how are they used? |
45790 | But which name stands first in the great court of God? |
45790 | But, I exclaim, you say he never saw her until yesterday? |
45790 | Can the naturalists inform me why all animals on the approach of a train or auto will, if possible, cross the track? |
45790 | Certainly I do not propose to pay for an idle auto car, and can another chauffeur be gotten? |
45790 | Certainly it does not seem a spot to offer much adventure, but then, who can tell? |
45790 | Did he listen to the booming of these great bells rolling out their summons above us? |
45790 | Do they dine here? |
45790 | How did she use it? |
45790 | How was it at Versailles in the days of the grand Louis? |
45790 | How, 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? |
45790 | If so, how did the Terrorists overlook them? |
45790 | Now,--stop.----What are all the cotton mills of earth compared to this stately shrine? |
45790 | Shall we find it ahead of us; are there two such places in this world of the twentieth century?" |
45790 | Should we pity her fate, or turn in disgust from a thing so degraded? |
45790 | The Hôtel de Sens, unique and perfect but a year or so ago, is gone, and for what? |
45790 | The heart of Louis le Grand mashed up by a painter''s knife and spread on canvas-- where now is your greatness, O King? |
45790 | There must be young men there, but where are they? |
45790 | Was there ever any more to him? |
45790 | Were our late opponents such boys? |
45790 | What is it,--why? |
45790 | What were even French brutes made of to destroy a woman like that? |
45790 | Where and how does the vast mass of the French nation bathe? |
45790 | Where to now? |
45790 | While singularly majestic, St. Étienne is simple to severity, but what do architects think about its façade and the odd- looking spires? |
45790 | Why, since there would be few if any rivals on the earth, does not the nation complete it to its own glory? |
45790 | Yet 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? |
45790 | [ Illustration: THE HOME OF MADAME DE SÉVIGNÉ AT VICHY By permission of Jules Hautecoeur] What do we find in Saratoga? |
45790 | there would seem to have been no woman of importance though he had a queen-- Did that figure of leather ever know passion or love? |
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?" |
20055 | And you deem this a bond of friendship? 20055 Art not thou the admiral?" |
20055 | Behme,cried the duke of Guise from the court- yard,"hast thou done?" |
20055 | Brother,he said,"I am safe, am I not, in your house and your country?" |
20055 | Cardinal,broke out the king, in an abrupt tone,"you bought some diamonds of Boehmer?" |
20055 | Do you believe in God? |
20055 | Do you know me? |
20055 | Do you know what the king is doing? |
20055 | Does he mean to make game of me, that he offers such a sum? |
20055 | Gentlemen,he called to the officers on the bridge,"are we bound for Spain or for Africa?" |
20055 | Have those hounds lost heart, pray? |
20055 | Have you any news from Paris? |
20055 | Have you good spurs? |
20055 | Have you your passports? |
20055 | How could a prince of your house and my grand almoner suppose that the queen would sign,''Marie Antoinette of France?'' |
20055 | How have you got rid of so much? |
20055 | How, then, do you forget Bertrand du Guesclin? |
20055 | How? |
20055 | I am very much inclined,said the king;"but what will my wife say? |
20055 | In what language do the voices speak to you? |
20055 | Is that all? |
20055 | Is there any one here? |
20055 | It is a bad business; but how are we to stop it? |
20055 | Madame,said Romeuf, warningly,"do you wish that other eyes than mine should witness your anger?" |
20055 | May I ask what you will do with it? |
20055 | My dear, shall I really go? |
20055 | See,cried Joan,"are the English turning to you their faces, or verily their backs? |
20055 | Shall this man longer remain master of the Convention? |
20055 | Sire,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?" |
20055 | Soldiers of the Fifth,he cried, loudly,"do you recognize me?" |
20055 | The king? 20055 Vatel,"said he,"what is this I hear? |
20055 | Well, Bertrand, how are you? |
20055 | Well, M. de Guitant, and what is your advice? |
20055 | Well,he said,"since these drunken scoundrels are upon us, and are coming here to look for meat and drink, what ought we to do?" |
20055 | What are you doing, soldiers? |
20055 | What danger is there in this assault? 20055 What do you think of all this?" |
20055 | What fancy is this of yours? |
20055 | What have you done with them? |
20055 | What is the matter, sir? |
20055 | What is the meaning of this riot? |
20055 | What is to be done? |
20055 | What manner of man will this be,said the onlookers,"who as a boy is so firm of seat and strong of hand?" |
20055 | What say you? |
20055 | What shall be done with the ointment? |
20055 | What sort of man is this? |
20055 | Whence shall the money come? |
20055 | Where are we? |
20055 | Where are you bound? |
20055 | Where will you go, fair sir? |
20055 | Who gave you the commission to buy them? |
20055 | Who is the commander of this rear- guard? |
20055 | Who is your Lord? |
20055 | Why, then, went you not straight, without stopping? |
20055 | Will you not enter my house? |
20055 | You have? |
20055 | All? |
20055 | And was it safe to attempt an arrest? |
20055 | And what is the meaning of all these doings with jewellers, and these notes shown to bankers?" |
20055 | And you?" |
20055 | Are there not among you fifty gentlemen willing to die with their king?" |
20055 | But a town was not enough; an army was needed; whence should it come? |
20055 | But what then? |
20055 | But will you not be pleased to swear to the treaty just as it is written?" |
20055 | Civilization had swung downward into barbarism; was barbarism to swing downward into savagery, and man return to his primitive state? |
20055 | Could St. Remy''s vial be found, or had it and its contents vanished in the whirlpool of the Revolution? |
20055 | Could the fates fail him now, at this critical moment of his life? |
20055 | Had the desecration of sans- culottisme proceeded so far as this? |
20055 | Has there ever been a year in the world''s history more crowded with momentous events? |
20055 | Have I not forced them to give up what they called their commune, for the whole duration of my life?'' |
20055 | Have you any commissions I can execute there?" |
20055 | He had set the flood in motion; how far was he to be borne on its waves? |
20055 | He stirred about in an unquiet and irresolute mood, saying several times to the queen,"My dear, shall I go or not?" |
20055 | How came it about? |
20055 | How is the Emperor?" |
20055 | How would they receive him,--with volleys or acclamations? |
20055 | If she become powerful, will not revenge be her first and only thought? |
20055 | In this you injured your own blood and troubled me and my people, ruined your friends and famished your army, and for what? |
20055 | Is this the power of your Christ?" |
20055 | Napoleon looked at General Drouet, and said, in pensive tones,"Do you hear this, Drouet? |
20055 | On whom besides could the Church rest, in its great conflict with paganism and unbelief? |
20055 | Others might lie late abed, but there could be no such indulgence for him; for was not he the power behind the throne? |
20055 | Should the Emperor declare himself and seek to gain over Andrieux? |
20055 | So this was what lay behind the insinuations of Cinq- Mars? |
20055 | The battle over, the question arose, what had become of the Duke of Burgundy? |
20055 | The city was there, but where were the people? |
20055 | The diamond necklace? |
20055 | The question now arises, Who was the"man with the iron mask"? |
20055 | These 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? |
20055 | These few fish all he had to offer his multitude of guests? |
20055 | To attack his army? |
20055 | Was this the stuff of glory? |
20055 | What could this mean? |
20055 | What diamond necklace? |
20055 | What did this mean? |
20055 | What part was he to play in the drama of retribution? |
20055 | What shall I say concerning his boots? |
20055 | What think you this woman is made of? |
20055 | What was this disgraceful business? |
20055 | What was to be done with the thief? |
20055 | What was to be done? |
20055 | What will you do?" |
20055 | What would he do? |
20055 | What would this grand fête be should his genius fail, his powers prove unequal to the strain? |
20055 | What, after all, is the good of troubling the world in order to fill it with our name?" |
20055 | What, these base peasants? |
20055 | When will you set out?" |
20055 | Where are your forces?" |
20055 | Where is the Viceroy of Naples?" |
20055 | Who was there besides him to act as Defender of the Faith? |
20055 | Who was this Childebert, it may be asked? |
20055 | Why? |
20055 | Would they come? |
20055 | what prayer can alter fate? |
20055 | what was that, on the horizon, at the very extremity of the landscape, that small, faint cloud, which he had not seen before? |
52991 | And when did all this happen?--when was this attack made? |
52991 | And why do the Belgians hate him so much? |
52991 | And why? |
52991 | But are the French in great force? 52991 Is aught on earth so precious and so dear As Fame or Honour? |
52991 | Is that the call to arms? |
52991 | And for what did he abandon his army, and basely fly in the hour of danger? |
52991 | Are we to be given up to the French in this way? |
52991 | Are we to be left here abandoned to the enemy? |
52991 | At that moment he was accosted suddenly by the Duke of Wellington, whom he had no idea was near--"What are you firing at there?" |
52991 | But what consolation had they to support them on the bed of pain and sickness? |
52991 | He 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?" |
52991 | How far off do you suppose all this fighting is?" |
52991 | How often was the anxious inquiry made with trembling eagerness for a wounded friend or relation--"Where is he to be found?" |
52991 | I asked them why they feared the French so much? |
52991 | I exclaimed:"Did you say, sir, that the French had beaten the Prussians? |
52991 | In vain I eagerly asked how she knew, or why she believed, or from whence this news came, that the French were near? |
52991 | Major Wylie, is it true?" |
52991 | Was this the conduct of a general? |
52991 | Was this the conduct of a great mind? |
52991 | Was this the conduct of a hero? |
52991 | What exalted Greece and Rome to their proud pre- eminence among the nations, and transmitted the lustre of their name to the remotest time? |
52991 | What gives nations honour and renown in future times but the glory they have acquired? |
52991 | What glory awaited them when they returned to their native country? |
52991 | What is there on earth to be compared to it? |
52991 | Where are the Prussians? |
52991 | Where are they? |
52991 | Why does generation after generation contemplate with veneration the plains of Marathon, and the heights of Leuctra? |
52991 | Why is not the City Guard ordered out to defend the town?" |
52991 | are you sure of it?" |
52991 | but you are not English surely, madame?" |
52991 | or is aught so bright And beautiful as Glory''s beams appear, Whose goodly light than Phoebus''lamp doth shine more clear?" |
19263 | And do you share this opinion? |
19263 | And the Mobiles? |
19263 | And was his country to count for nothing? |
19263 | And what, pray, will happen after the capitulation of Paris? |
19263 | And would the majority of the Constituent Assembly go with them? |
19263 | Are we to remain cooped up here until we are starved out? |
19263 | Are you come to congratulate us? |
19263 | But how can you imagine that you and your friends would be able to defeat the Prussians, who are disciplined soldiers? |
19263 | But if none of these prophecies are realised.--what then? |
19263 | But if you have to capitulate, what will happen? |
19263 | Can France accept a mediation which will snatch from her the enemy at the moment when victory is certain? |
19263 | Can any one tell me where Jules Favre has gone? |
19263 | Coquin,says William,"what are you doing with your eagle?" |
19263 | Eating it,replies Badinguet;"what else can I do with it?" |
19263 | Et Clamart? |
19263 | Et le General Trochu? |
19263 | How do you live, then? |
19263 | If you are an Englishman,cried his friend,"why do you not go back to your own country, and fight Russia?" |
19263 | Is it not too bad of him that he will pretend not to understand French? |
19263 | Monsieur is in the Garde Nationale? |
19263 | Pray, sir, may I ask,he said, with bitter scorn,"whether her Majesty is still on the throne in England?" |
19263 | Qui sait? |
19263 | Shall you send off a train to- morrow morning? |
19263 | Then,he went on,"has this Count Bismarck, as they call him, driven the British nobles out of the House of Lords? |
19263 | We 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?" |
19263 | Well, what does England think of our attitude now? |
19263 | Well,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?" |
19263 | What do you expect will occur? 19263 What do you think of a man on horseback?" |
19263 | What do you think they are saying of us in England? |
19263 | What is this? |
19263 | What,she continued,"have you not heard of the victory?" |
19263 | What? |
19263 | Why do you complain of me? |
19263 | Why do you not act with energy against the Ultras? |
19263 | Why do you wear these ugly gloves? |
19263 | Why not? |
19263 | Will it ever be taken out? |
19263 | Will the Garde Nationale fight? |
19263 | ''What dost thou want?'' |
19263 | After all, what is patriotism? |
19263 | And shall our army of 500,000 men remain stationary before this handful of Germans? |
19263 | But how is it all to end? |
19263 | But why should they complain? |
19263 | But will this sacrifice save the ship? |
19263 | Can anything be more absurd than for a provincial town to be forced to wait for such an authorisation until it receives it from Paris? |
19263 | Can better evidence be required? |
19263 | Can it be that, after all, the Parisians, at the mere sound of cannon, are going to cave in, and give up Alsace and Lorraine? |
19263 | Can it possibly be that I am over- credulous? |
19263 | Come now, Citizen Strassnowski, he says, what has the Government done to merit your praise? |
19263 | Did not yesterday a National Guard himself take five Prussian prisoners? |
19263 | Does not every Englishman feel this to be true of his own countrymen? |
19263 | Has Gambetta contracted with a London firm for a loan of 250 millions at 42? |
19263 | Has it tried to utilise us? |
19263 | How can all this end? |
19263 | How can it be otherwise? |
19263 | How can the Parisians expect to force the Prussians to raise the siege? |
19263 | How can the engineers have made such a mistake? |
19263 | I 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? |
19263 | In a meeting presided over by Jules Favre, what do you suppose the mayors were asked to do? |
19263 | In vain I ask,"But what if these three armies do not make their appearance?" |
19263 | Is it possible, each man asks, that 500,000 armed Frenchmen will have to surrender to half the number of Germans? |
19263 | Is not King William the instrument of Heaven, and is he not engaged in a holy cause? |
19263 | It has armed us and exercised us; but why? |
19263 | It is a merry farce, is it not? |
19263 | It 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? |
19263 | It meant,"Do you really imagine that a functionary-- a postman-- is going to forward your letters in an irregular manner?" |
19263 | Now, 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? |
19263 | Oh, full- of- feeling, loved- of- beauteous- women, German warrior, can you refuse me?" |
19263 | Shall we not in that case have the Gallic cock crowing as lustily as ever? |
19263 | Some of the members of the Government, I hear, suggest an admiral; but what admiral would accept this_ damnosa hæreditas_? |
19263 | Still the old subjects-- How long will it last? |
19263 | The editor of the_ Liberté_--why is this gentleman still alive? |
19263 | The year which is commencing can not bring with it any sorrows that by remaining united we shall not be able to support?'' |
19263 | The_ Rappel_ also informs its readers that letters have been discovered( where?) |
19263 | There was a chorus of"Qui sait?" |
19263 | This is a good sign, but will it outlive a single gleam of success? |
19263 | This is all very well, but how is he to get there? |
19263 | To the Legitimists? |
19263 | To the Orleanists?" |
19263 | To whom then must we turn to save the country? |
19263 | To- day a citizen writes as follows:--"Why are not the National Guards installed in the churches? |
19263 | What are they doing now? |
19263 | What do the robbers and the beggars who thus insult us do? |
19263 | What has been the consequence of this act of weakness? |
19263 | What has been the consequence? |
19263 | What has happened here, and what is happening? |
19263 | What is the use of you, sir, if you can not ensure my safe passage to England? |
19263 | What is to be expected of troops when military offences of the grossest kind are treated in this fashion? |
19263 | What puzzles us is, that the Rente is at 53--why then was this new loan issued at 42? |
19263 | What were the men to do whilst they were kept waiting, except drink? |
19263 | What will be the verdict of history on the defence? |
19263 | What would he have said of a Government composed almost exclusively of these objects of his political distrust? |
19263 | What would he say if the Government which succeeds him were to allow his own wife to be insulted in this cowardly manner? |
19263 | What, I asked, is to be expected of a city peopled by such credulous fools? |
19263 | What, however, is to be done for the French? |
19263 | What, then, say his opponents with some truth, was your wonderful plan? |
19263 | When one asks them where? |
19263 | Where are they now? |
19263 | Where were the artillerymen? |
19263 | Why are we to allow them quietly to establish their batteries? |
19263 | Why did you imprison as calumniators those who published news from the provinces, which you now admit is true? |
19263 | Why did you put your name to proclamations which called upon us, if we could not conquer, at least to die? |
19263 | Why do distinguished generals, unless forced by circumstances, declare the mere act of passing four or five cold nights in the trenches heroic? |
19263 | Why does not Gambetta write more clearly? |
19263 | Why is a banker, who has other matters to attend to, discharging his duties? |
19263 | Why is he absent now? |
19263 | Why is so great a publicity given to such contradictory orders of the day?" |
19263 | Why these reports? |
19263 | Why was he absent during the siege? |
19263 | Why, they ask, are we to allow ourselves to be besieged by an army which does not equal in numbers our own? |
19263 | Why? |
19263 | Why? |
19263 | Will the Prussians enter Paris? |
19263 | Will 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? |
19263 | _ September 26th._ Do the Prussians really mean to starve us out? |
19263 | _ des grises?_''You will, I trust, one of these days learn what is the signification of the term at your own cost. |
19263 | move that the Estimates be reduced by the salary of the Consul, who seems to consider Paris_ in partibus infidelium_? |
19263 | said a dealer to a customer--"is it my fault? |
61320 | --''How the devil should I know?'' |
61320 | And why? |
61320 | Being choice Extracts from the Works of Robert Greene, A.M., of both Universities, 1560(?) |
61320 | But do they die in vain? |
61320 | But if he had gone, what route had he taken? |
61320 | But was there no other course that offered him greater advantages? |
61320 | But what are the facts? |
61320 | Could he have met with defeat? |
61320 | How could he pass Fort Bard with cannon and cavalry? |
61320 | How, in so short a time and with so few forces, did Bonaparte accomplish such results? |
61320 | How, then, are we to reconcile this fact with the instructions that he sent to Masséna? |
61320 | If so, why did he not come? |
61320 | Is it any wonder that we should be proud of our profession? |
61320 | Is it not possible that this may have been the reason why he held on so persistently to his communications with Switzerland? |
61320 | It might, after all, be but a large detachment; for how could Bonaparte cross the Alps with an army? |
61320 | Might 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"? |
61320 | Perhaps so: and yet, who shall say? |
61320 | Were they not about to enter that Italy where their comrades had fought so gloriously before? |
61320 | Were they not imitating the daring deeds of the great Hannibal? |
61320 | What are the advantages of this situation? |
61320 | What would have been the result? |
61320 | What would have been the result? |
61320 | Where was Melas? |
61320 | Where were they? |
61320 | Why did Austria deprive herself of his services at the beginning of a great war? |
61320 | Why did Moreau fail to send the necessary orders to Lecourbe? |
61320 | Why did he thus scatter his three corps? |
61320 | Why should he order Masséna to take up a position which would allow his army to be besieged, and finally to be captured or destroyed? |
61320 | Why then did Bonaparte take this course? |
61320 | Why was St. Cyr directed upon Zollhaus, instead of upon Engen or Stokach? |
61320 | Why was the Archduke Charles not made commander in chief? |
8412 | And pray, Sir Conjurer, who shall be the robber? |
8412 | And,cries Monsieur d''Artois,"do I not love my sister, too? |
8412 | What are they? |
8412 | Who,says Sir Thomas Browne,"knows the fate of his bones, or how often he is to be buried? |
8412 | As how, indeed, should a god be moved?... |
8412 | But who pulled down the two rows of statues? |
8412 | Did ever the sun shine upon such a king before, in such a palace?--or, rather, did such a king ever shine upon the sun? |
8412 | Did it? |
8412 | For a century and three- quarters have not all the books that speak of Versailles, or Louis Quatorze, told the story? |
8412 | History? |
8412 | Let her heart break: a plague upon her tears and repentance; what right has she to repent? |
8412 | See how long it was of building? |
8412 | Was it not Louis XIV., fulfilling the vow of Louis XIII.? |
8412 | What had he to do, after forty years of reign; after having exhausted everything? |
8412 | What had wealth to do there? |
8412 | Who but men, architects, the artists of our day? |
8412 | Who carved that new and bastard pointed arch in the very center of the middle door? |
8412 | Who dared to insert that clumsy, tasteless, wooden door, carved in the style of Louis XV., side by side with the arabesques of Biscornette? |
8412 | Who hath the oracle of his ashes, or whither they are to be scattered?" |
8412 | Who left those empty niches? |
8412 | Who was stupid enough to fasten that clumsy stone anachronism into the Carlovingian pavement of Hercandus? |
8412 | Why should it crowd the dust of the great? |
8412 | does Monsieur see the black stains on the wall?" |
8412 | says Brantôme,"what of that? |
45791 | Ah, mon ami, how can one tell?--picking rags for aught I know,--but have you seen Suzanne? 45791 And the Americans?" |
45791 | Elise, what is the weather? |
45791 | Have n''t you any money? |
45791 | Maxim''s? 45791 Oh, vraiment? |
45791 | The ball? 45791 The story tells itself after that, n''est- ce pas? |
45791 | Too youthful? 45791 Where is Felise?" |
45791 | Why do n''t you open workrooms of your own? |
45791 | Why have I no black gown on the list? |
45791 | You serve the sole so, to Monsieur le Comte? 45791 You want to know how I do my work? |
45791 | A great success on one occasion justifies any extravagance, and why allow a spoiled frock to obscure an agreeable memory? |
45791 | A warm violet, now, with the embroidery in more tender shades, and a touch of gold? |
45791 | Absurd? |
45791 | An evening gown, a dinner gown, a visiting gown, a street frock? |
45791 | And the curving line on the shoulder? |
45791 | Bad temper? |
45791 | Bad? |
45791 | C''est dommage,--but, ma chère, what an opportunity for the petticoats and the feet, n''est- ce pas? |
45791 | Change the frock? |
45791 | Discouraging? |
45791 | Elle est gentille, n''est- ce pas, cette petite femme chic?" |
45791 | Everything 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? |
45791 | Gai ça, n''est- ce pas? |
45791 | I have the air of a femme des Halles, n''est- ce pas?" |
45791 | In the meantime, if there is anything one can show? |
45791 | La belle Margot? |
45791 | M''sieu wished absolutely to have a melon? |
45791 | Madame has samples of the other costumes she wishes to match?" |
45791 | Madame la Princesse wishes to see Monsieur? |
45791 | One corsets her-- but why not? |
45791 | One must have the perfect figure before one can display the frock at its best, n''est- ce pas? |
45791 | Sell a part of the inn? |
45791 | That would be satisfactory? |
45791 | The fashionable figure is not that of the Venus de Milo, but what would you? |
45791 | Tout va toujours bien?--et Madame?--et le petit?" |
45791 | Unfair? |
45791 | Upon what shrine could flowery tributes more fittingly be laid? |
45791 | What does Madame want? |
45791 | What has Rambouillet to do with presidents and republics? |
45791 | What has yesterday or to- morrow to do with a Fête des Fleurs? |
45791 | What is beauty unadorned? |
45791 | What shall I wear?" |
45791 | Why not contribute to the sum of humanity''s simple joys? |
45791 | Why? |
45791 | You did not know? |
45791 | You have always the same burgundy, yes? |
45791 | You know our French girls? |
45791 | You think perhaps that the sole au vin blanc should have that air? |
2579 | ''Would you believe that I have earned only twenty- four francs?'' 2579 Are these people as happy as they seem to be?" |

37409 | How was this strange fashion established at the Court of France, and from there transferred to our theatres? |
37409 | How would this affect the interests of each? |
37409 | I am never to see you more? |
37409 | If he had felt this, would he[ Lauzun] still be there?" |
37409 | If, 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? |
37409 | In the_ Malade Imaginaire_, Thomas Diafoirus consults his father before kissing his fiancée:"Shall I kiss her?" |
37409 | In what did this little Lauzun show special merit? |
37409 | Jourdain of M. Jourdain:"Are you at your age going to college to be whipped?" |
37409 | Judge by this fact if the conduct proposed and suggested to you is wise? |
37409 | Lauzun approved all and demanded:"Do you think of marrying?" |
37409 | Lauzun, vexed, demanded,"How much longer is this pleasantry to last?" |
37409 | Mademoiselle 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?" |
37409 | Mademoiselle having urged him to send for a priest, he said,"Whom shall we call? |
37409 | Of what was he afraid? |
37409 | Of what will the world think me capable?" |
37409 | Shadows, phantoms, dissipate yourselves in the presence of the truth; false love, deceitful love, canst thou stand before it?" |
37409 | Shall 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? |
37409 | Should this be done in France or Spain? |
37409 | The Queen demanded every instant:"What shall I do? |
37409 | The ladies present said:"Do you not wish to play cards?" |
37409 | The poor woman could not sleep during the night: how rid herself of Monsieur, if the King should wish"the marriage"? |
37409 | The question to be solved is, could Mazarin marry? |
37409 | The question was,"To whom?" |
37409 | This 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? |
37409 | Was it after the marriage of Louis XIV.? |
37409 | Was it essential for the safety of France to insist upon such minute precautions? |
37409 | Was it the new music? |
37409 | Was it the"loose morals"of Quinault which caused these? |
37409 | Was this the first time that these names had appeared? |
37409 | Was this the moment in which to expose the country to new shocks? |
37409 | What can you reply to this?" |
37409 | What could be more just than to use her fortune for the common good? |
37409 | What did the King think? |
37409 | What do you say?'' |
37409 | What does your Majesty think?" |
37409 | What more natural than to throw upon her the burden of debts contracted to add to the éclat of the family? |
37409 | What shall I do?" |
37409 | What was to be the price? |
37409 | What, shall I speak to you no more?" |
37409 | Who is Cato, her maid, and what had they to do with La Voisin and with those like her? |
37409 | Who would inherit the prestige of Madame? |
37409 | Whom would Monsieur marry? |
37409 | Whose name will appear well in the_ Gazette_?" |
37409 | Why betray news through letters which always fell into the hands of Mazarin? |
37409 | Why conceal from him the fact of his mother being alive or dead? |
37409 | Why leave to Condé, now a Spanish General, the companies raised under the Fronde with the funds of Mademoiselle and bearing her name? |
37409 | Why not frankly take characters from French contemporaries? |
37409 | Why, if he saw so clearly, did he grumble at any kind of work? |
37409 | Would Mademoiselle accept this other way? |
37409 | Would he be gained over by these? |
37409 | Would it be the Grande Mademoiselle? |
37409 | and what attracted women who pursued and sought his favour through cajoleries and gifts? |
37409 | cried I,"Sire, what do you tell me? |
37409 | cried the Queen,"sleep all together in one room? |
37409 | de Montespan her humiliations; but why did the King permit such severity? |
37409 | de Montespan then knew that she had been denounced, but with what proof? |
37409 | de Montespan? |
37409 | do you remember what you said yesterday? |
37409 | or to give a little of her superfluity to her young sisters in view of their establishment? |
37409 | quoi? |
37409 | upon a Spanish or French chair? |
37409 | who could have distrusted your Majesty''s word? |
37409 | why did you not hasten?" |
37409 | why have you wasted time in reflection? |
9896 | And your comrade? |
9896 | But what am I to do? |
9896 | How is that? |
9896 | How much do you want? |
9896 | I dare say you would have been glad if French and English had fought side by side in this war? |
9896 | Is it a little pig? |
9896 | Is it a young pig? |
9896 | Is it sucking- pig? |
9896 | So you want me to be shot? |
9896 | Well,said the suspicious private,"have you not noticed that every time he orders us to march forward we invariably encounter the enemy?" |
9896 | What is the matter, my dearest? |
9896 | Who did it? |
9896 | Why did they do it?--was it because your men had cut the telegraph wires and destroyed some of the permanent way? |
9896 | You know me, then? |
9896 | You know the Lei- ces- terre Square? 9896 Are n''t you going to leave with the others? |
9896 | Come, what is it, tell me?" |
9896 | Could Trochu''s plan and Bazaine''s plan be synonymous, then? |
9896 | Did the Empress at that moment wonder when, where, and how she would next see them again? |
9896 | Do you know London? |
9896 | Do you know Regent Street? |
9896 | Do you know the Soho?" |
9896 | Had we not bought at least a dozen newspapers? |
9896 | How would they dress, even supposing that they should contrive to dress at all? |
9896 | How''s that?" |
9896 | It is young Vizetelly, a friend of my son''s,"adding,"Did you wish to speak to me?" |
9896 | Many a time in the course of the next few years did I hear foreigners inquire:"What do the London papers say?" |
9896 | So saying, the officer produced the small bottle which had been taken from the unfortunate traveller, and added:"You see this? |
9896 | The question which immediately arose was-- could we catch it? |
9896 | To what despair would not millions of women be reduced? |
9896 | We 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? |
9896 | What name is the music- hall there?" |
9896 | Why a dozen, when sensible people would have been satisfied with one? |
9896 | Why had Chanzy brought his army there? |
9896 | You are the young English correspondent who was allowed to make some sketches at Yvré- l''Evêque, are you not?" |
32695 | Alas,he said,"what is the matter with my heart? |
32695 | And where, then, will you die? |
32695 | Do you know,said Raymond,"what you have been eating?" |
32695 | What color are her sails? |
32695 | What enemy of God, my good lord, has dishonored your gold- adorned robe? |
32695 | What shall we do, my son? |
32695 | Who 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? |
32695 | He was poor: but was not she rich enough to make up the deficiency? |
32695 | Héloïse was not yet twenty; did her youthful heart, full of love of life, yearn for the cramped life of the nunnery? |
32695 | If Iseut represented the poetic ideal in the age of chivalry, was the real woman of that age like Iseut? |
32695 | If she came from God, they asked, did she think herself in a state of grace, incapable of committing a mortal sin? |
32695 | If the punishments inflicted on rebellious vassals were severe, what epithet shall we reserve for the punishments of the criminal code? |
32695 | If these barbarians could not be checked, and they continued to pour in resistless floods over the land, what was to become of Christendom? |
32695 | In all this world of love and song were the women merely objects of the troubadour''s song, or merely patronesses of the troubadour? |
32695 | In 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? |
32695 | Is it not pitiful, this cry of the peasants? |
32695 | It is a lover''s song in praise of his lady beautiful and good:"Je vous vens la rose de mai? |
32695 | It is: How shall I appear in public? |
32695 | It 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? |
32695 | Mais où sont les neiges d''antan?" |
32695 | Might she not be an impostor, hired by his enemies? |
32695 | Might she not be, if nothing worse, merely a poor demented creature? |
32695 | Not hesitating at any meanness, one of her persecutors asked whether Saint Michael appeared to her naked? |
32695 | Not once: How shall I care for Héloïse? |
32695 | One hears the echo of Shy lock''s"Hath not a Jew eyes? |
32695 | Or 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? |
32695 | Shall we say she was a saint? |
32695 | Shall we say that the mother of a saint is,_ ex officio_, or even by courtesy, also a saint? |
32695 | She 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? |
32695 | She 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"? |
32695 | Since Evil ruled the world on equal terms with Good, might not man feel utterly relieved of moral responsibility? |
32695 | Surrender, Jeanne, there is no hope for thee; France is weary of thee; for hast thou not done all that France could hope from thee? |
32695 | Tell me, now, can you distinguish true love from counterfeit?" |
32695 | The young duchess sent at once for the lady to whom Louis was devoting himself:"Wilt thou do me wrong with my lord, my husband?" |
32695 | Then Brother Seguin,"a very sour man,"with a strong twang of his native Limoges, would fain know"what tongue these Heavenly visitors spoke?" |
32695 | We should avoid, of course, male visitors; but do not vain, gossiping, worldly women corrupt their own sex just as much as men would? |
32695 | Were there no poetesses? |
32695 | Were they not all going to battle in the service of a greater king than he? |
32695 | What amends can I make her for the wreck of her young life? |
32695 | What attitude would Blanche take? |
32695 | What collar of chivalry is to be compared to that glorious order which you wear? |
32695 | What community in a land neighbored by mountains but has its"little people,"whether fairies, hobgoblins, or gnomes? |
32695 | What honor is there, she asks, in deceiving a woman? |
32695 | What is there so amazing in the king''s promising to succor me, a widow, in case of deception? |
32695 | What was the use of preparing for the morrow, if there was to be no morrow? |
32695 | What were the rules by which Héloïse and her nuns were to live? |
32695 | When the thief was beyond danger of pursuit, Robert cheerfully said:"Why all this pother about a candlestick? |
32695 | Who could the wicked woman be other than Isabeau de Bavière, who had sold France and disinherited and denied her own son? |
32695 | Who is it that accuses me? |
32695 | Who was Count William? |
32695 | Who was to pay for all the display in this entry of the queen? |
32695 | Why do we allow ourselves to be treated thus, instead of trying to right our wrongs? |
32695 | Women are not so prone to intemperance as men, and at times they really need some stimulant; how shall we determine in regard to wines? |
32695 | Would 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?... |
32695 | Would you have the vase open, and disclose its ineffable treasure?" |
32695 | Wretch that I am, why did I we d thee only to bring woe upon thee? |
32695 | Yet meat is not so necessary for women; is it really a deprivation, then, to make them abstain from meat? |
32695 | cried Blanche;"what will become of us?" |
32695 | must I then die here?" |
32695 | shall she remain with us?" |
32695 | will you let me see my husband neither in life nor in death?'' |
35125 | ''Ah,_ mon Dieu!_ at Strasbourg?'' 35125 ''And paper, pens, ink?'' |
35125 | ''And what did you do with it?'' 35125 ''And where are you two going?'' |
35125 | ''And where is Auteuil?'' 35125 ''But do they not eat, too?... |
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 | ''I?'' 35125 ''Insane?'' |
35125 | ''Is the deed of sale ready?'' 35125 ''It is a conspiracy, then?'' |
35125 | ''It is an excellent lodging,''said Gaston, smiling,''though ill furnished; can I have some books, some paper, and pens?'' 35125 ''Manuscripts as well, sir?'' |
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?" |
35125 | But Latude, poor devil, what had he done? 35125 Have you read it?" |
35125 | Have you read it? |
35125 | Henri 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? |
35125 | La Hurière advanced, and looked at Henri; and, as his large cloak did not inspire him with very great veneration:''Who are you?'' |
35125 | What made you go away? |
35125 | What then? 35125 What was the good? |
35125 | Why 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?'' |
35125 | 1?'' |
35125 | And what the devil do you do here?'' |
35125 | And where are they?'' |
35125 | And who was your master at that time?'' |
35125 | Are there any magistrates or judges at the Château d''If?'' |
35125 | Bertuccio?'' |
35125 | But did not the history of Paris itself furnish the romancer with these very essential details? |
35125 | But what about England''s peculiar dishes? |
35125 | But what about the actual condition of the people at the time? |
35125 | Did you forget that this great man, this hero, this demigod, is attacked with a malady of the skin which worries him to death,_ prurigo_?'' |
35125 | Do not the prisoners leave some scraps?'' |
35125 | Dumas recounts the incident thus:"''And the cards I ordered to be engraved as soon as you knew the number of the house?'' |
35125 | Have you any good wine of Artois?'' |
35125 | He raised his head and asked,''Where are we?'' |
35125 | He says,"I address him....''Pardon my impertinence, but are you very fond of eggs?'' |
35125 | I suppose M. le Comte has the tastes of the day?''" |
35125 | It 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? |
35125 | It runs thus:"''Who is this man?'' |
35125 | It were not possible to produce a complete or"exhaustive"work on any subject of a historical, topographical or æsthetic nature: so why claim it? |
35125 | Marrow- bones and stewed eels, for instance? |
35125 | Noirtier?'' |
35125 | Now, you must agree these are indubitable symptoms of weakness?'' |
35125 | One is in the cellar of his Majesty Louis XVI.--''"''And the other?'' |
35125 | Sixty?''... |
35125 | The Parisian has, perhaps, cause to regret that these turf- covered battlements somewhat restrict his"_ promenades environnantes_,"but what would you? |
35125 | The corvette must now, I think, be on her way to Fécamp, must she not?''" |
35125 | Then she cried in a loud voice,''Do you know who I am? |
35125 | To take Cahors, which is held by M. de Vezin, one must be a Hannibal or a Cæsar; and your Majesty--''"''Well?'' |
35125 | Were these men who blocked up the Rue Vivienne friends or enemies? |
35125 | Whom, if you please, have we to- day whose name and fame is as wide as those just mentioned? |
35125 | Why have people accused me of prodigality? |
35125 | Why should this be the case, unless it be to enjoy the pleasures of my kitchen? |
35125 | Why then these green cockades? |
35125 | You will never forgive me?" |
35125 | _ En route_ to the_ cabaret_, D''Artagnan asked of his companion,"Is there a procession to- day?" |
35125 | _ Quelle couleur voulez- vous?_"With almost a common accord the tricolour was adopted-- and the next day the Bastille fell. |
35125 | _"Votre Majesté,"dit le maire,"veut- elle accepte le signe distinctif des Français? |
35125 | a hanging on the Grève? |
35125 | do you not see I reserve eighty francs for myself? |
35125 | le Comte does not know it?'' |
35125 | said Henri,''is this the way to my apartment?'' |
35125 | said he,''does not M. le Comte know where the house he purchases is situated?'' |
35125 | you imagine that I can be beaten by wool- merchants and beer- drinkers?'' |
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? |
20124 | And were these fairies? |
20124 | But, if he loves, why does he thus conceal himself? |
20124 | By love and hate''s alternate passions torn, How shall I turn me from my thronging woes? 20124 Do you know what you would destroy?" |
20124 | Is it even so? |
20124 | Is it sin to love him yet? 20124 Is this coast, then, indeed, so dangerous?" |
20124 | Now, Orton had_ taken a fancy_ to the Lord of Coarraze; and, after a pause, he said,''Are you in earnest?'' |
20124 | Poustillou qué lettres portis Que si counte tà Paris? |
20124 | Renté, renté, Rey de France, Que si non, qu''en mourt ou pris,Quin seri lou Rey de France? |
20124 | Say, ye waters raging round, Say, ye mountains, bleak and hoar, Is there quiet to be found, Where the world can vex no more? 20124 Tchorittoua, nourat houa Bi hegaliz, aïrian? |
20124 | Tell 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?" |
20124 | Why do you moan thus, Françonnette? |
20124 | Why 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? |
20124 | Again came the question--"When, in England?" |
20124 | And shall I coldly from thy arms remove, Blush for my birth- place, and disown my love? |
20124 | And 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?" |
20124 | And why not, at my bidding, leave me? |
20124 | Borne on thy wings amidst the air, Sweet bird, where wilt thou go? |
20124 | Brilliant 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? |
20124 | But who is she advancing this way? |
20124 | But why is her cheek so covered with blushes? |
20124 | Could she be capable of deceiving his affection? |
20124 | Did he gain any by combating against true religion and his conscience? |
20124 | Did 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? |
20124 | Do I then sigh in vain for thee; And wilt thou, ever thus severe, Be as a cloistered nun to me? |
20124 | Do you not see her cottage shining white through the thick hazel branches? |
20124 | From whence come you, friend?'' |
20124 | He sprang towards him, and throwing himself into his arms, exclaimed--"Where are they taking you, dear grandfather? |
20124 | Her husband would say:"''Well, what news have you?--from what country do you come?'' |
20124 | I have no longer a relish for that which interested me before-- to what end do I seek to gain wealth? |
20124 | I will forget the brilliant scenes that have bewildered me too long; but to what do I now return? |
20124 | Is he, then, indeed so wretched?" |
20124 | Is my torture, my regret, For his loss-- or for my fall? |
20124 | Is the great merchant, Alexander Auffrédy, still, as he once was, the ornament and benefactor of his native town?" |
20124 | Is there not in yonder tower an_ oubliette_ that yawns for the disobedient vassal? |
20124 | Is this the cold return My tenderness should find? |
20124 | Let them go instantly, or we burn them!--Who presses forward there?" |
20124 | Of all his hosts,--of all his friends, and guards, and warriors, and nobles, what remains to the French king? |
20124 | Qui est celluy qui plus et oultre moy usera de ta saincte force, mais qui sera desormais ton possesseur? |
20124 | Shall I go secretly, as if I were but a disgraced woman? |
20124 | She has such power over those who love her, one would say she was a witch; but with her magic what does she seek? |
20124 | The knight then could not but rouse himself; and, sitting up, cried out,''Who knocks so loud at my chamber at such an hour?'' |
20124 | The next day was a triumph for Pau:--"When,"asked every one we met--"when, in_ England_, would you see such a 1st of November?" |
20124 | The 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? |
20124 | The sun broke forth, and all looked promising; but where were the towers of the castle? |
20124 | This being the case, how does it agree with the extraordinarily antique origin of the Basques? |
20124 | This news made a strange impression on the mind of Auffrédy,--could it be possible, after all, that she loved him? |
20124 | To conduct me to my grave,[21] I require a friend-- I have none-- will you act the part of one?" |
20124 | Was it possible, thought he, that she had some other attachment? |
20124 | Was it sin to love at all? |
20124 | Were 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?" |
20124 | What cries are those so near and so loud? |
20124 | What do I say? |
20124 | What 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? |
20124 | What has the day? |
20124 | What now remained to the brilliant Gaston Phoebus? |
20124 | What wilt thou do for her-- thou whose heart is so soft?" |
20124 | When will my truth be paid, And all thy coldness cease?" |
20124 | Where are the splendid crowns you held out to him? |
20124 | Where is he?" |
20124 | Where is now thy name, thy titles, thy prerogatives? |
20124 | Where is she? |
20124 | Where is the lively maiden? |
20124 | Where was Françonnette? |
20124 | Where was he at the expiration of the second year? |
20124 | Where was the young, blooming, accomplished, and promising heir, so loved by his people, and once the object of his pride and hope? |
20124 | Why banish love and joy thy bowers-- Why thus my passion disapprove? |
20124 | Why did you not let me live and die a Cagot as I was born? |
20124 | Why does she sing no more? |
20124 | Why is my coldness all forgot? |
20124 | Why might not this carefully- attended and richly- adorned queen be the beautiful and fatal"serpent of old Nile"--the fascinating Cleopatra herself? |
20124 | Would they have us hold an open council to hear them, or unite in one common opinion against the Catholic Church? |
20124 | and comes not yet? |
20124 | and how render the whole place sightly without clearing away the rubbish of the old_ Tour__ de la Monnaie_, now built in with shabby tenements? |
20124 | are you not my father? |
20124 | believe 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? |

20124 | in what have I offended him? |
20124 | must she behold Pascal dead before her? |
20124 | my lords, what have I done to the king that he should quit me? |
20124 | roared the pitiless Odon;''who now is a false traitor, who now has lied, and proved himself a vile impostor? |
20124 | said Guiton;"you all desire it? |
20124 | said he, musing;"you do n''t surely imagine--_do_ you think she would have me?" |
20124 | said the unhappy youth;"for the tenderness and the affection which I have borne towards you, is this wretchedness a fitting reward? |
20124 | say, fair prince, where is your wound?" |
20124 | seest thou not Those words have only pow''r to grieve me? |
20124 | to 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? |
20124 | traitor!--why will you not eat?'' |
20124 | what defect finds he in my person? |
20124 | where are thy fiefs and thy domains? |
20124 | who art letters bringing, Tell me what in France is said?" |
20124 | who composed so sweet a lay?" |
20124 | why did you let me wander into a world which I ought never to have known? |
20124 | why did you offend your father? |
20124 | why do you leave us who love you so dearly?" |
20124 | why do you weep? |
20124 | without him what have I? |
4289 | As for the other,said the Journal des Debats disdainfully,"on what field of battle did he win his epaulets? |
4289 | Does 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?" |
4289 | Where shall I find more happiness than here? |
4289 | Who, then,she said,"would buy the works of these poor young people, if I did not?" |
4289 | You wish then to impose yourself upon me as minister? |
4289 | --"Did you see the governess?" |
4289 | --"What do cheers signify?" |
4289 | A Bonaparte? |
4289 | A National Guardsman ventures to speak:--"Does Your Majesty think that cheers for the Charter are an outrage?" |
4289 | After the opening of the session, he wrote to his former minister, February 6, 1828:--"What do you think of my discourse? |
4289 | And by what right can the people be asked to have a better memory when such an example is given to them? |
4289 | And yet what did he become? |
4289 | At Blaye could she imagine that the citadel, hung with white flags, whose cannon were fired in her honor, would so soon become her prison? |
4289 | By what means could he mount the throne? |
4289 | Chateaubriand cried:--"What hand has reconstructed the roof of these vaults and prepared these empty tombs? |
4289 | Could he be reproached for having taken the ceremony of his coronation seriously? |
4289 | Could she suspect the reception that awaited her, four years later, in the places where she had just been the object of veritable worship? |
4289 | Did not Chateaubriand emigrate with the King and the princes? |
4289 | Do they shout hurrah for the Charter? |
4289 | Does not this phrase show the illusions of which Charles X. was the victim? |
4289 | Had he not their virtues, and especially their devotion?" |
4289 | He 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? |
4289 | How can it be done? |
4289 | How can you undertake to check the march of a man who makes no step?" |
4289 | How could one resist such language from the lips of such a prince? |
4289 | How, at twenty- five, could one resist this tide of opinion?" |
4289 | If it were religious, was not the presence of the clergy in large numbers natural? |
4289 | If they were disinherited, what would they say? |
4289 | In the Revolution, during its most horrible periods, when tragedy, as was said, ran the streets, what were the theatres offering you? |
4289 | In the vestibule he paused:"What chamber have you prepared for me?" |
4289 | Is it not amusing, this picture of a marriage under the old regime? |
4289 | Is not the Church of Saint- Denis itself a funeral discourse in stone more grandiose and eloquent than that of the reverend orator? |
4289 | Is this saying that Louis- Philippe was already at this time thinking of dethroning his benefactor, his relative, and his King? |
4289 | It is said openly, as eight years since: This branch can not keep the crown; it is impossible; who will succeed it? |
4289 | Mademoiselle throws herself upon his neck:"Bon- papa, you are content, are n''t you?" |
4289 | The Duchess of Orleans responded:"What would you have? |
4289 | The Grand Preceptor knocked at the door of the royal chamber; the Grand Chamberlain said in a loud voice:--"What do you seek?" |
4289 | The forgetful Marie Louise? |
4289 | The same day the Drapeau Blanc said:--"Why is there an unusual crowd passing about the palace of the cherished monarch and princes? |
4289 | They who did not respect the virtues of Malesherbes, the talents of Lavoisier, the youth of Barnave, will they recoil from one crime more? |
4289 | To whom can this parade really convey any illusion? |
4289 | Was he not in his council at the very hour of the battle of Waterloo? |
4289 | Was not Charles X. at Coblenz? |
4289 | Was not that for a pious sovereign the accomplishment of a sacred duty? |
4289 | Was this antipathy real? |
4289 | Well, what do you advise me to do?" |
4289 | What chance of reigning had the Duke of Reichstadt, that child of thirteen, condemned by all the Powers of Europe? |
4289 | What one of us would not confide to him his life, his fortune, his honor? |
4289 | What will the King do? |
4289 | When she was spoken to of preparations for departure,"Already?" |
4289 | When the King takes this distraction so necessary to him, why hasten to make it known to the public? |
4289 | Who better than their worthy counsellor seconded them in the impulses of generous courtesy so common with them? |
4289 | Who knows? |
4289 | Who would be regent in his name? |
4289 | Will he believe that a consecration shelters him from misfortune? |
4289 | Will he keep his ministers? |
4289 | Will he surrender his ministers to the popular demand? |
4289 | Would they not attack the will on the ground of undue influence? |
4289 | and Charles X. possessed the secret of awakening lively sympathy in the world of artists and men of letters? |

30708 | My friends,said Coligny to Merlin, his minister, and to other friends,"why do you weep? |
30708 | What 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?" |

30708 | And where could competent generals be secured for the prosecution of hostilities? |
30708 | And,"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? |
30708 | But 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? |
30708 | But grant they were guilty-- they dreamt treason that night in their sleep; what did the innocent men, women, and children at Lyons? |
30708 | But some one may say:''Pray, friar, what are you saying? |
30708 | But what better security had they for its observance more than they had had for the observance of that which had preceded it? |

30708 | Meanwhile, where was the governor? |
30708 | Might not Catharine and Charles be tempted to retaliate by trying the effect of a surprise upon the Huguenots themselves? |
30708 | Must we obey this order? |
30708 | Or, was the peace only a prelude to the massacre-- a skilfully devised snare to entrap incautious and credulous enemies? |
30708 | Or, what benefit will it be to me to live thus in continual distrust of the king? |
30708 | Or, why might not both be reinforced by the troops of La Noue, who had been accomplishing such exploits in Aunis and Saintonge? |

37892 | He then said, in a hesitating voice,"Am I to conclude from what has just happened that the Committee wishes me to leave it?" |
37892 | How could it ever perish? |
37892 | How was it possible, indeed, to foresee how far an always exuberant imagination might go, unrestrained by reason or virtue? |
37892 | How would the Montagnards be able to restrain themselves? |
37892 | I heard a man in a blouse, standing next to me, say to his fellow,"See that vulture down there? |
37892 | Is Kossuth''s skin worth a general war? |
37892 | Is it not best to content ourselves with going through the Tuileries gardens? |

37892 | Is it to the interest of the Powers that the Eastern Question should be opened at this moment and in this fashion? |
37892 | Is not this characteristic? |
37892 | Is the life of kings held by stronger threads? |
37892 | It 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? |
37892 | It 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? |
37892 | No, I did not expect such a revolution as we were destined to have; and who could have expected it? |
37892 | Now, where was the spirited defender of the Monarchy that evening? |
37892 | On which side the honest men? |
37892 | On which side were the rogues? |
37892 | Shall I tell you one thing more? |
37892 | That would have been unjust and ridiculous; and if he was not to be responsible for the administration proper, who would be? |
37892 | Then I went on:"But of what Republic is it a question? |
37892 | There are imperious necessities which are the same for all governments, whether monarchies or republics; and who has given rise to these necessities? |
37892 | To whom do we owe the cruel experience which has given us eighteen months of violent agitations, incessant conspiracies, formidable insurrections? |
37892 | Under these conditions, what could a President elected by the people be other than a pretender to the Crown? |
37892 | What colleagues to give us? |
37892 | What do they want, after all? |
37892 | What general policy to adopt? |
37892 | What ministries to allot to us? |
37892 | What was its object in thus postponing the debate? |
37892 | What would be the issue of this new struggle? |
37892 | Where are the new virtues it has gained, the old vices it has laid aside? |
37892 | Where falsehood? |
37892 | Where is the country that has gone so far as to give votes to servants, paupers and soldiers? |
37892 | Where lay truth? |
37892 | Where will it stop? |
37892 | Who can fail here to recognise the final symptom of the old democratic disease of the time, whose crisis would seem to be at hand?" |
37892 | Who would have thought that it was Bastide who should eventually induce the Assembly to make up its mind? |
37892 | Why had the event thus at the same time deceived the hopes and fears of both parties? |
37892 | Will Socialism remain buried in the disdain with which the Socialists of 1848 are so justly covered? |
37892 | Will you allow it to take you by surprise? |
37892 | Would your party be willing to, if you are? |
37892 | You are glad because the Government is upset; but do you not see that it is authority itself which is overthrown?" |
37892 | You know the Guizot Ministry has been dismissed?" |
37892 | [ 14] But what office to give me? |
37892 | why did n''t you tell me that before the 15th?" |
50495 | And where is that? |
50495 | And will you sign your name to it? |
50495 | And your friend? |
50495 | Are n''t you going out to- night? |
50495 | Are they, all right, do you think? |
50495 | But why worry? |
50495 | Can you not make me un franc? 50495 Dance?" |
50495 | Did you ever? 50495 Did you not see me draw it while looking at you?" |
50495 | Do I look like that? |
50495 | Do? |
50495 | Has not monsieur a cigarette? |
50495 | Shall we have some lait chaud and a croissant? |
50495 | The Boul''Mich''or Montmartre? |
50495 | Then you will take charge of his body? |
50495 | What are they saying? |
50495 | What do you want? |
50495 | What does he do? |
50495 | Where is he? |
50495 | Will you give it to me? |
50495 | Yes? 50495 You translate for me, wo n''t you?" |
50495 | Youarre 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. |
50495 | Ah,_ les concierges!_ But what would Paris be without them? |
50495 | Américain?" |
50495 | And then, who could tell but what fame might unexpectedly crown them in the end? |
50495 | Are not these ancient walls the same that echoed the wit, badinage, and laughter of the masters? |
50495 | But he rallied and assured her that her love was reciprocated, for who, he asked, could resist so beautiful a face, so warm a heart? |
50495 | But 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? |
50495 | But why should not it have been a glorious evening high up among the chimney- pots of old Paris? |
50495 | Could this really be the quiet Johnson of the Ecole, who but a week ago had been showing his mother and charming sister over Paris? |
50495 | En voulez- vous du bon lait bien chaud?_"She poured out four bowls of steaming milk, and gave us each a roll. |
50495 | Es eet not verra a beautiful night?" |
50495 | For what? |
50495 | Had monsieur a cigarette to spare? |
50495 | Her other name? |
50495 | How dare you insult the young poet who is now singing?" |
50495 | How many men have you sent hither to damnation with those beautiful eyes, those rosy, tempting lips? |
50495 | How much longer will this last? |
50495 | Is it possible for Paris to consume all of this in a day? |
50495 | Is not this the place in which greatness had budded and blossomed in the centuries gone? |
50495 | It closed by asking,"Could you call at the hotel this evening, say at seven?" |
50495 | Monsieur Beeshop, comment vas tu?_""_ Tiens! |
50495 | Où sont tes ailes?_"and other mocking jests greet her as she creeps among the tables. |
50495 | Payez- moi un bock?_ Yes?" |
50495 | Payez- moi un bock?_ Yes?" |
50495 | She spoke Engleesh, and demurely asked Bishop if"we will go to ze_ café_ ensemble, n''est- ce- pas?" |
50495 | The girl beside me said to me, in a low voice, without looking at me,--"_Monsieur est Anglais?_""No,"I answered. |
50495 | Then the brute swaggered up to us and demanded,--"What the devil do you want to drink, anyway? |
50495 | Then their appearance would be less and less regular, and they would finally disappear altogether-- whither? |
50495 | Was not that more than they could hope to earn by a whole day''s hard work? |
50495 | Was not this the great Aristide Bruant, the immortal of Montmartre? |
50495 | Was she not the queen of the models of Paris? |
50495 | What had she been? |
50495 | What was the gross, hard, eager world to them? |
50495 | Who was she? |
50495 | Why do you tremble? |
50495 | Why waste money on professional models? |
50495 | Would he not live on a lower floor if he were able? |
50495 | Yes, anything hot would be good, even milk; but where could we get it? |
50495 | You are finished, are n''t you? |
50495 | [ Illustration: 0141]"Ah, milord, how do you do? |
50495 | for 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? |
50495 | protested another, stroking Bishop''s Valasquez beard; and then, archly and coaxingly,"_ Qu''est- ce que vous m''offrez, monsieur? |
14290 | Are we to talk about fashion, at such a time? |
14290 | How smile, sir? |
14290 | Is 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? |
14290 | What did you mean to do with that knife? |
14290 | What is the wind? |
14290 | What will become of us,asked the Czar,"if Napoleon accepts your mediation?" |

14290 | And how came it that Napoleon and Ney missed this golden opportunity? |
14290 | And if he longed for repose, would the Opposition in England and the malcontents in France have let him rest? |
14290 | And their chief, why did he not share their glorious fate? |
14290 | And what of Napoleon, in part the product and in part the cause, of this strange reaction? |
14290 | And where is Schwarzenberg? |
14290 | And where, we may ask, could a less unpleasant place of detention have been found? |
14290 | And who has ever borne a heavier burden? |
14290 | And would it end as long as Napoleon saw any chance of snatching a temporary success? |
14290 | Are you going mad at Paris?" |
14290 | At 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? |
14290 | Besides, if she had to traverse other States to come to him, would she ever do so? |
14290 | Besides, what do they mean with their fatalism? |
14290 | But how can Prussians be there in force? |
14290 | But how treat with England, who wishes to bind me not to build more than thirty ships of the line in my ports? |
14290 | But on what ground? |
14290 | But to Ney''s request for more troops he returned the petulant answer:"Troops? |
14290 | But what did he presume that the allied forces in Bohemia would be doing while he overwhelmed Blücher in Silesia? |
14290 | But 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?] |
14290 | But what were these against the trained host of more than 100,000 men now marching against the feeble barriers on the north and east? |
14290 | But why? |
14290 | But would he have ignored them, had he been in Bathurst''s place?] |
14290 | But would not this encouragement embolden the Emperor to crush the contumacious Chambers? |
14290 | But you, sir, he did not know you even by sight: then, why this great devotion of yours?'' |
14290 | Could the man, who had been wellnigh murdered by the rabble of Avignon and Orgon, hope to march in peace through that royalist province? |
14290 | Could you easily rid yourself of them? |
14290 | Did that example inspire the French Emperor, or did he take counsel from his own boundless resources of brain and will? |
14290 | Did these words induce the Prussians to accept battle at Ligny? |
14290 | Do you know the prime cause of the fall of the Bourbons? |
14290 | For what did Austria demand of him? |
14290 | For what had he gained? |
14290 | For what was his position at this time? |
14290 | Had Metternich the full assent of those Governments when he offered the French Emperor the natural frontiers? |
14290 | Has he irrevocably staked his own and his son''s fate on the last cannon?" |
14290 | Have you despatched a courier with my final determination?'' |
14290 | Her woman''s wit flew to the utterance:"May I consider it a token of friendship, and that you grant my request for Magdeburg?" |
14290 | How can we between July 5th and 20th end a negotiation which ought to embrace the whole world?" |
14290 | How could Blücher hope for help from forces so weak and scattered? |
14290 | How 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? |
14290 | How is this to be accounted for? |
14290 | If the plague of rats was really very bad, why is it that Gourgaud made so little of it?] |
14290 | If the populace had not as yet declared for the Bourbons, who could wonder at that, when the allies persisted in negotiating with Napoleon? |
14290 | In that bargaining and burglarious age, was it not better to build a more lasting habitation than this venerable ruin? |
14290 | In that case, would not Austria make peace, and leave Alexander and Blücher at his mercy? |
14290 | In 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? |
14290 | Is it credible that the Guards, less than 4,000 strong, should have spread their attacks over a quarter of a mile of front? |
14290 | Is not Blücher resting on the banks of the Aisne? |
14290 | It is difficult to reconcile all this with the attack in hollow squares; but probably the squares( or oblongs?) |
14290 | May not the words"domiciled"and"employed"have aroused Lowe''s suspicions of Balcombe and O''Meara? |
14290 | On the whole, was there ever an odder company of shipmates since the days of Noah? |
14290 | Or if he had gone to the United States, who would have competed with him for the Presidency? |
14290 | Or was it a passing flash of that religious sentiment which he professed in his declining years? |
14290 | Or were they imposed in order to insult the great man? |
14290 | Or, if he must have Norway, would not Denmark give her assent if she received Swedish Pomerania and Lübeck? |
14290 | Poor Gourgaud,_ qu''allais- tu faire dans cette galère_? |
14290 | The Emperor came up to me as I stood in the circle, and in a low voice said:''Have you written to your Court? |
14290 | The 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? |
14290 | The 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? |
14290 | Then he burst out:"Could I have expected that from Dupont, a man whom I loved, and was rearing up to become a Marshal? |
14290 | To what are we to attribute this change of front? |
14290 | Touching the Minister on the shoulder, he said quietly:"Well, now, do you know what will happen? |
14290 | Was Napoleon puzzled because the corps was heading south- east instead of east?] |
14290 | Was it a spinney, or a body of troops? |
14290 | Was it not time that this should end? |
14290 | Was not the column the usual method of attack? |
14290 | Was there really any need for these"nation- degrading"rules, as O''Meara called them? |
14290 | Were they suited to this child of the Mediterranean? |
14290 | What is the upshot of it all? |
14290 | What mean these_ Miserere_ and these prayers of forty hours? |
14290 | What might not those 20,000 men, detained in La Vendée, have effected on the crest of Waterloo? |
14290 | What right had Prussia thus to carry into effect a treaty which she had not ratified? |
14290 | What then was wanting? |
14290 | What was their mandate compared with his? |
14290 | What were those ailments? |
14290 | What would not Napoleon have given to know the actual state of things at the allied headquarters? |
14290 | What, meanwhile, was the position of the allies? |
14290 | What, then, caused the delay in the French attack? |
14290 | Where are your great families? |
14290 | Who should succeed this skilful and methodical officer? |
14290 | Why did not Ney occupy the cross- roads in force on the evening of the 15th? |
14290 | Why had Austria deserted him? |
14290 | Why had not the King dismissed that tool of England? |
14290 | Why had the French ambassador been slighted? |
14290 | Why lose your head thus? |
14290 | Why not have annexed Prussia outright? |
14290 | Why should not history repeat itself? |
14290 | Why 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? |
14290 | Why should she subordinate her policy to that of England and to the personal animosities of the Czar? |
14290 | Why should they, or the"electors"of France, cheer? |
14290 | Why speak to me of goodness, abstract justice, and of natural laws? |
14290 | Why then did the Pope set himself above Christ? |
14290 | Why then, we ask, did he accept the command? |
14290 | Why this refinement of cruelty to his former ally? |
14290 | Why was Hardenberg high in favour? |
14290 | Why, then, did he not attack at once? |
14290 | Why, then, had that treaty been so criticised at Berlin? |
14290 | Why, then, was not the attack clinched by infantry? |
14290 | Would he have dared the uttermost at all points at Waterloo? |
14290 | Would 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? |
14290 | Would he have spurned the offers of an advantageous peace made to him from Prague in 1813? |
14290 | Would it not therefore be better to await the development of events? |
14290 | Would not Dresden and his communications with France be left open to their blows? |
14290 | Would not the hereditary dominions form a more lasting shelter from the storm? |
14290 | Would these bewildered lads stand before the wave of horsemen already topping the crest? |
14290 | You 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? |
14290 | comment se porte madame?" |
14290 | have you forgotten how to die? |
14290 | no prisoners?" |
14290 | said Napoleon,"after such a butchery, no results? |
14290 | to be treated as a rebel; or( 2) treated as vermin; or( 3) that we would( regretfully) detain him? |
14290 | where do you want me to get them from? |
35037 | Ah Mees Betsee,he asked the next morning,"were you frightened by the_ tremblement de terre_? |
35037 | Ah, where were your eyes? 35037 An Englishman dressed like a Chinaman?" |
35037 | And this was really you? |
35037 | And you? |
35037 | Are General Bertrand and Count Montholon prisoners too? |
35037 | As he can not possibly hurt us, why should n''t we go to the valley to see him land? |
35037 | Balcombe, 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?" |
35037 | But did you see Napoleon? |
35037 | But do n''t you think Madame Montholon pretty? |
35037 | But how can that be? |
35037 | But how did he look? |
35037 | But where is your mother? |
35037 | But where will he live, papa, when he comes ashore? |
35037 | But you believe in predestination? |
35037 | Can you see? |
35037 | Did I? 35037 Did you cry too?" |
35037 | Did you pass for an Englishman? |
35037 | Do you like music? |
35037 | Do you really want to see it? 35037 Do you suppose he will be in the first boat?" |
35037 | Has any one run away with a favorite_ robe de bal_, or is the pet black nurse, old Sarah, dead? |
35037 | Has le petit Las Cases proved inconstant? 35037 How large is it?" |
35037 | I mean, why did you change your religion? |
35037 | Is it a large fleet? |
35037 | Mees Betsee,he added, after a moment''s pause,"what would you like to have in remembrance?" |
35037 | Mees Jane,he asked one evening,"have you ever heard the London cries?" |
35037 | Not like the lady I was obliged to say agreeable things to yesterday? |
35037 | Now what do you think of that, Miss Betsy? |
35037 | Of Italy? |
35037 | Of Russia? |
35037 | Oh, Mees Betsee, why make such faces? |
35037 | Oh, Mees Betsee,he would cry,"why do you wear trousers? |
35037 | Oh, did n''t you think Fairyland just the most perfect place? |
35037 | Oh, have you seen him? |
35037 | Oh, mamma, do you suppose they are coming here? 35037 Oh, papa, what was he like?" |
35037 | Oh, was he perfectly awful? 35037 Seen whom?" |
35037 | Sir,said Betsy to Napoleon one day,"may I present a lady to you? |
35037 | So they send him here? |
35037 | Talma? |
35037 | Tell me, does she ask about your visits to Longwood? |
35037 | That is because I am no longer a general,--not since I returned from Egypt,--but why not call me''Napoleon''? |
35037 | That is well, and what else did you study? 35037 The horse?" |
35037 | The man- of- war that came in to- day? |
35037 | Then why did you run and bring him up to her? 35037 Then you can tell me what is the capital of France?" |
35037 | This is the ibis? |
35037 | Well, he seems like one of us, does n''t he, Jane? 35037 Well,"persisted Betsy,"do you know the story about them?" |
35037 | Were you not afraid of being seized as a spy? |
35037 | Were you warned? |
35037 | What are you doing? |
35037 | What brought you here? |
35037 | What can have occurred? |
35037 | What can it be? |
35037 | What do you really think,she asked her father one day,"about this quarrel between the Governor and the Emperor?" |
35037 | What do you want? |
35037 | What does it mean? |
35037 | What has he now? |
35037 | What is it? |
35037 | What is that on the side of the mountain? |
35037 | What is that to you? |
35037 | What is the song? |
35037 | What sort of dances are in fashion there? |
35037 | What were they like? |
35037 | What would be the use of fireplaces,asked Betsy,"when we have no coals?" |
35037 | When will he come ashore? |
35037 | Where have you been? |
35037 | Where is the Emperor, where is the Emperor? |
35037 | Where is the Emperor? |
35037 | Who goes there? |
35037 | Who is the most beautiful woman on the island? |
35037 | Who taught you? |
35037 | Who''s he? |
35037 | Who, Napoleon? |
35037 | Whose house is that? |
35037 | Why have you refused your daughter to the surgeon of the flagship? |
35037 | Why should he be killed? |
35037 | Why should n''t we? |
35037 | Why should n''t you give a ball before you leave The Briars? 35037 Will they put him in a dungeon?" |
35037 | Will 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?" |
35037 | You 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. |
35037 | After Napoleon had asked the usual questions,"Are you married?" |
35037 | At another time Betsy ran up to Napoleon, crying,"Why is your face so swollen and inflamed?" |
35037 | Betsee pour te consoler?_"["Tell me, what do you wish me to do to console you?"] |
35037 | Betsee pour te consoler?_"["Tell me, what do you wish me to do to console you?"] |
35037 | Betsee,"he would then cry in French,"you are a stupid little creature; when will you become wise?" |
35037 | Betsee,_ etes- vous sage_, eh, eh?" |
35037 | Betsy,_ as tu obei mes ordres et gagné l''éventail_?" |
35037 | But what is that white thing?" |
35037 | CHAPTER XI THE EMPEROR''S VISITORS"Who danced the best at the Governor''s ball?" |
35037 | Ca n''t you think of something else?" |
35037 | Did n''t you see anybody there?" |
35037 | Did n''t you see him? |
35037 | Do n''t you remember that he set out with the Emperor and Generals Bertrand, Montholon, and Gorgaud?" |
35037 | Do n''t you think me a good rider?" |
35037 | Do you know any French songs? |
35037 | Does he realize that Austria is no longer his friend-- that Prussia is ready to fall upon him? |
35037 | Does it come from England, now making great efforts to gather her strength for a long contest? |
35037 | Even 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? |
35037 | He is still the idol of the French people-- as well he may be-- for what ruler has ever done so much for them? |
35037 | Here, O''Meara, have you brought the fan I promised Miss Betsy?" |
35037 | How can a prisoner be busy? |
35037 | I 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?" |
35037 | If he had been permitted to settle down in England as he wished, as a country gentleman, would this have satisfied him? |
35037 | Is Josephine as contented wearing the crown of an Empress as she was wandering light- hearted in the forests of Martinique? |
35037 | Is Napoleon really happier now than when he roamed, a fearless boy, over the rough hills of Corsica? |
35037 | Now, was n''t he greedy?" |
35037 | Now, what could be the matter with it? |
35037 | Or does the growing ambition of Napoleon mean the overthrow of the very things he is working for? |
35037 | She turned to one of the servants:"Has my dress been packed?" |
35037 | Then he asked, sternly and abruptly,"_ Qui l''a brulé?_"["Who burned it?"] |
35037 | Then he asked, sternly and abruptly,"_ Qui l''a brulé?_"["Who burned it?"] |
35037 | Then, turning to the young girl:"What do you know of the Duc d''Enghien?" |
35037 | Then, with the eagerness of a boy anxious to display a new toy, he added,"What do you think of the place? |
35037 | Were n''t you frightened?" |
35037 | What could this mean? |
35037 | What foolish thing did you do?" |
35037 | What is the matter?" |
35037 | What is the trouble?" |
35037 | What were you laughing at yesterday when Lucy was here? |
35037 | What will you put against it?" |
35037 | What would the Emperor think? |
35037 | When he did, instead of taking offence, he only smiled as he turned to Betsy, saying,"But what does he mean by calling me''Bony''?" |
35037 | When will you ride up to Longwood?" |
35037 | Who could have been so mean as to borrow the only pony that I can ride? |
35037 | Why do you wear them, Mees Betsee?" |
35037 | Why is he alone? |
35037 | Why should that terrible man be permitted to land and destroy all this beauty, as he would, of course, on the first opportunity? |
35037 | Will that do?" |
35037 | You have not been here for a long time, Mees Betsy, what is the matter?" |
35037 | You speak French?" |
35037 | ["Have you obeyed my orders and won the fan?"] |
35037 | and"How many children have you?" |
35037 | qu''as tu, Mademoiselle Betsee?_"he asked. |
8376 | What can I then do for you? |
8376 | After this commencing stroke, what English general will ever think of conquering America? |
8376 | But I need not fear this-- need I, my dearest love? |
8376 | But do you, at least, pity me? |
8376 | But what shall I say to you, my love? |
8376 | But, on the other side, why were the English permitted to land so tranquilly? |
8376 | Do n''t your excellency think that I could recruit a little in General Greene''s division now that he is quarter- master- general? |
8376 | Do you comprehend all that I endure? |
8376 | Do you think that Anastasia will recollect me? |
8376 | Embrace, most tenderly, my Henriette: may I add, embrace our children? |
8376 | Have I two children? |
8376 | Have you left the family, my dear sir? |
8376 | How have you borne my second departure? |
8376 | I have left no space for Henriette; may I say for my children? |
8376 | I 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? |
8376 | I should like very much to know whether those dogs that neither walk nor bark contributed to the success of the expedition? |
8376 | Is it not strange that General Wayne''s detachment can not be heard of? |
8376 | Is it not true that you will always love me? |
8376 | May I flatter myself that I still possess your good opinion? |
8376 | May I, sir, speak to you with frankness? |
8376 | Might not the crowd of Frenchmen dispersed at present on that coast be employed with advantage in the cause? |
8376 | Must I join to this affliction the grief of hearing that you do not pardon me? |
8376 | O, American freedom, what shall become of you if you are in such hands? |
8376 | O, when shall I be with you, my love; when shall I embrace you a hundred times? |
8376 | Present my compliments to your friends and to mine; may I not say_ our_ friends? |
8376 | Suppose something of the kind was stated to me, am I to alter any thing in what you said to me on the subject? |
8376 | Suppose they were to come out in force and at a distance from us, would not this be an opportunity to execute your grand plan? |
8376 | Supposing he is to go there, would your Excellency think of selecting some riflemen for the grand army? |
8376 | What do you think can be produced by the half condemnation of a general officer? |
8376 | What expressions can my tenderness find sufficiently strong for our dear Anastasia? |
8376 | What man do not join the pure ambition of glory with this other ambitious of advancement, rank, and fortune? |
8376 | What may they announce to me? |
8376 | What shall France answer? |
8376 | When shall I again see you? |
8376 | When shall I find myself again within her arms? |
8376 | Why in the south were so many false movements and so much hesitation displayed? |
8376 | Why was I so obstinately bent on coming hither? |
8376 | Why was the moment allowed to pass when their army was divided by the river Elk? |
8376 | Will you permit me, sir, to present my respects to the Countess de Maurepas and Madame de Flamarens? |
8376 | Will you, too, always love me, my dearest life? |
8376 | Would 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? |
8376 | Would it not be agreeable to you also? |
8376 | Would not Gouvion be a proper ambassador? |
8376 | You ask me at what period I first experienced my ardent love of liberty and glory? |
8376 | have I another infant to share my tender affection with my dearest Henriette? |
8376 | have you loved me less? |
8376 | have you pardoned me? |
8376 | what may I hope? |
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?'' |
62571 | A 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?'' |
62571 | Did you ever see a man so wounded recover? |
62571 | Do you think I am dying? |
62571 | What 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? |
62571 | But was it really a French battery which was wrecking Mercer''s guns? |
62571 | Did He Deserve it? |
62571 | Do you think you are fighting here with your fists that you are running into the teeth of the French?'' |
62571 | Do you think you can retire quick enough afterwards?'' |
62571 | I smiled at his energy, and, pointing to the remains of my poor troop, quietly asked,''How, sir?'' |
62571 | I told him that they were nearly so, and added,''I suppose they wo n''t be wanted, at all events, before to- morrow?'' |
62571 | If French, how came he here to die alone so far in the rear of our lines? |
62571 | Is it necessary to define my sensations? |
62571 | Is it possible that I am not understood at once? |
62571 | Is there nothing in this to excite emotion? |
62571 | It may be asked what impulse sent a youth of this type-- under- sized, lean, frugal, canny-- to a soldier''s life? |
62571 | It 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? |
62571 | Meeting one next morning, a very little fellow, I asked what had happened to them yesterday? |
62571 | Men began to look into each other''s faces, and ask the question,''Are we ever to be halted again?'' |
62571 | Musther Hills,''I heard him say,''where the d-- l is this you''re taking us to?'' |
62571 | Or, in the mad inevitable distraction of a great battle were the Allied gunners destroying each other? |
62571 | Query-- Who, and what was he firing at? |
62571 | Signed,''& c.,& c."Where is Strytem? |
62571 | The Duke turned roughly upon him,"What the devil do you want, sir?" |
62571 | The usual salutation on meeting an acquaintance of another regiment after an action was to ask who had been hit? |
62571 | The wretches had probably already done mischief elsewhere-- who knows?" |
62571 | Vere is de Dook von Vellington? |
62571 | What could I do? |
62571 | What does each separate human atom feel, when caught in that whirling tornado of passion and of peril? |
62571 | What is all this noise? |
62571 | What was this to a parcel of men who had scarcely eaten a morsel for three days? |
62571 | and for what this sudden move? |
62571 | are we off, sir?'' |
62571 | but on this occasion it was,''Who''s alive?'' |
62571 | do you remember what happened to me at Salamanca?'' |
62571 | he 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?''" |
62571 | mine Gott!--mine Gott; vil you no stop, sare?--vil you no stop? |
62571 | no shoes, Harris, I see, eh?'' |
62571 | thought I, where are my ammunition waggons? |
62571 | vat for is dis? |
62571 | vat is it you doos, sare? |
62571 | vere is de Dook von Vellington? |
62571 | what would such as you have done in the Pyrenees?'' |
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? |
8546 | And shall I fly? |
8546 | And the dust of the humble monk and serving brother, where is that? |
8546 | And then what does it yield? |
8546 | And where are you going?'' |
8546 | Are we to see here the Eternal Father, or Christ sitting in final judgment? |
8546 | But how did we set off? |
8546 | But is the end so near? |
8546 | But then the question arose, Why was he there? |
8546 | Come, dally not; be gone''? |
8546 | Could there be a church at Fronsac that was not used for praying? |
8546 | Had there been an epidemic, and were the old women, whose heads were bent towards their knees while they clutched their distaffs, the few survivors? |
8546 | He will say,''_ Nest- ce pas, monsieur_?'' |
8546 | How did we get over the_ barrages_? |
8546 | How many centuries ago did Christian piety raise this rough image of its hope upon the moors amidst the purple heather and the yellow broom? |
8546 | How many houses and pigsties at Villandraut have been built with materials taken from the castle? |
8546 | I can imagine somebody saying:''Why look at what goes on in the kitchen?'' |
8546 | Said the miller:''You see that hole?'' |
8546 | Scattered do I say? |
8546 | She reflected a few minutes, then, looking at me over her knitting- needles, she said:''Are you a tiler or a plasterer?'' |
8546 | She sang:''Connais- tu le pays òu fleurit l''oranger?'' |
8546 | Some Englishman was connected with the history of the building; but was it really a chapel? |
8546 | Some tourists, attracted by the caverns in the valley of the Vézère, had possibly wandered as far as Limeuil; but where were the inhabitants now? |
8546 | The thought expressed in the eyes of the cobbler as he looked up was,''Are you a thunderbolt, or Robert the Devil?'' |
8546 | Then one catches sight of this line by the sagacious Horace:''Quid aeternis minorem consiliis animum fatigas?'' |
8546 | They knew that we must have come a long, long way; but, how did we do it? |
8546 | This was the kind of conversation that passed between us:''Are there many monks here?'' |
8546 | Was not the country strewn with the ruins of the fortresses they had built? |
8546 | What is it in the gloom and horror of nature that so draws us and yet warns us to flee? |
8546 | What is the use, I thought, of being an African if one can not keep dry in a temperature of 95 ° Fahrenheit? |
8546 | What is there better in life than hours such as those? |
8546 | What matters it whether they are bleached by the sun or blackened by the clay? |
8546 | Where was I? |
8546 | Who are they who carry flowers to the graves of their grandfathers? |
8546 | Who were we in this strange- looking boat that went so fast, and whence had we come? |
8546 | Who, 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? |
8546 | Why should he have cultivated what would have been of little or no use to him? |
8546 | and am I your son? |
46321 | ''What woman?'' 46321 And when will all this happen?" |
46321 | Are you King Louis XVII? |
46321 | But,said the curious Lazarist,"how will he ascend to the throne?" |
46321 | Did it not trouble you to remain at Charenton? 46321 Did not the proudest of our kings at first approve this union? |
46321 | Do you desire to see a sight worthy of your eyes? 46321 Has he not said to you that I have already sent forth decrees for all that you have spoken of to me?" |
46321 | Have they not named the persons to you? |
46321 | Her silence proved clearly that she knew nothing and did not understand, so to relieve her embarrassment he said to her,''Perhaps you are tired?'' |
46321 | How long will he reign? |
46321 | How old is the curate of Gallardon? 46321 I feel a little better than I have for some time; and how are you getting along?" |
46321 | What do you say? 46321 What is the reason for your coming here?" |
46321 | Who will lead him to us? |
46321 | Who? 46321 And what is this annihilation which allows the will to reassert itself incessantly, vivacious and active? 46321 And you, what is your name? 46321 But do we find here only an error of topography? 46321 But how much longer will these vestiges of the rites and the customs of the past endure? 46321 But if Martin''s affection approaches insanity in some particulars, it also differs from it in important and basic respects...What were they? |
46321 | But was this on the first or second floor? |
46321 | But where is the accent? |
46321 | Could it not be preserved beside the proud modern construction, even if it were tottering and dilapidated? |
46321 | Could this peasant, then, be playing a part in some political machination? |
46321 | Did Mlle, de Clermont secretly marry the Duc de Melun? |
46321 | Did he carry further than he admits the practice of doctrine, and freedom of manners? |
46321 | Did he use the free and obscene speech which has been ascribed to him? |
46321 | Did not Mlle, de Montpensier marry the Duc de Lauzun?" |
46321 | Did this Sulpician, spiritual, cold and ambitious, ever feel the charm of the great trees of her park? |
46321 | Did you get along well there?" |
46321 | Do we go walking to be melancholy? |
46321 | Do you not find it admirable that at my age I should attach myself to these things like a child? |
46321 | Do you then take no more interest in it? |
46321 | For is there anything more sweet than songs caused by happiness which one has given?" |
46321 | Had he still other passions of which he says nothing in this public confession? |
46321 | Has he been with you long?" |
46321 | Has he brains? |
46321 | Has one ever seen rogues so disinterested?" |
46321 | How could Longueil afford this royal fancy? |
46321 | However, if any one asked me:"What must I read by Théophile?" |
46321 | In what house was Racine born? |
46321 | Is Mademoiselle de Clermont a masterpiece? |
46321 | Is it credible that people wept so abundantly at Chantilly in 1724? |
46321 | Is this quite certain? |
46321 | Me? |
46321 | Must we believe that Martin is not the sole author of the imposture and that he was guided by outside advice? |
46321 | Of the main body of the building, of which only ruins remain, a part only was rebuilt by M. Dru.... Will the nation accept the legacy? |
46321 | On beholding this spectacle Cérutti burst forth: Who would believe it? |
46321 | On what did the destiny of the poet depend? |
46321 | Or did Madame de Genlis really receive the confidences of a well- informed old lady? |
46321 | Shall we cite an example of the way in which Cardinal de Bausset transposes the descriptions of Abbé Le Dieu? |
46321 | So great a room for this use? |
46321 | The curiosity seekers who had been worried by his absence questioned him:"When you have business,"he replied to them,"do you not go and do it? |
46321 | Then Bonnedame was wrong? |
46321 | Then you no longer go to visit Sainte Radegonde? |
46321 | They diminished the light in this part of their church; but is not this better than the crude daylight which enters through the clear panes? |
46321 | To what sentiment did he respond in summoning Martin? |
46321 | Was good Father Billaud of Juilly a hypocrite? |
46321 | Was it not rather the chapter room of the monastery? |
46321 | Was it worth while to demolish the modest and venerable edifice of earlier days? |
46321 | What are the acts of grace which have been returned for such a benefit? |
46321 | What can then be the nature of this condition, so individual and so different from insanity as it is usually observed? |
46321 | What embellishments does the church of Senlis owe to him? |
46321 | What is going to be done with these precious remnants? |
46321 | What led Cérutti to describe the gardens of Betz? |
46321 | What more is needed when I have not you?" |
46321 | What remains of the old château? |
46321 | Where are the acts of grace which have been rendered to God for so glorious a miracle?" |
46321 | Where is the life? |
46321 | Where was the apartment of the Marquise? |
46321 | Who knows if we may not even see other mediaeval paintings appear from under the whitewash?... |
46321 | Who was M. Jourdain? |
46321 | Who will pay for it? |
46321 | Why wish to give one''s self at any cost the haughty joy of feeling and exercising one''s liberty? |
46321 | Why, strolling forever through your delicious prairies, Can I not fix my wandering course here And, known by you alone, forget the world outside? |
46321 | Will an experience of three days consecrated to archaeology seem conclusive to you?" |
46321 | You ask what causes that? |
46321 | [ Illustration: 0231]"How is your health, Sire?" |
46321 | [ Illustration: 0257] What does Boileau do when he is in the country? |
46321 | cried the Duke,"what are you trying to make me think?" |
46321 | my heart rests with thee; The world where thou art not is a desert for me; Art thou in a desert? |
46321 | would I then be doing such an extraordinary thing? |
28573 | ''_ Mulier rixosa_''--is-- a----"Well, go on, will you? |
28573 | ''_ Qui Dæmone pejus_''--who is there worse than the devil? 28573 A buck at four o''clock? |
28573 | Affronted? 28573 And if we were to remain more than half an hour?" |
28573 | And is not courage your father, and an excellent aim your mother, and is not death to the boar in our barrels? |
28573 | And what of them? |
28573 | And your feverish pulse, sir, your wrinkled liver, and your digestion, which scarcely ever allows you to close your eyes? |
28573 | But these terrible quadrupeds; what if they should come and devour me when you are gone? |
28573 | Citizen? 28573 Do you hear him?" |
28573 | Does it? 28573 Does it?" |
28573 | Fear? 28573 Have I any hare of yours?" |
28573 | Hear him? |
28573 | I thought you were heart of oak, young Sir; are you only a man of straw? |
28573 | Is he really dead? |
28573 | Is it the duty of a father, of a son, of a soldier, of a baker? |
28573 | It is an infernal plot, I say; think you that I came into this wretched country of forests to kill donkeys? |
28573 | It is, then, something dreadful? |
28573 | Me? 28573 Once, twice-- will you give me my hare?" |
28573 | Said I not so? 28573 See clearly, do you? |
28573 | Serpolet,said I to the_ piqueur_,"have you seen the animal?" |
28573 | That gentleman? |
28573 | Their duty in what? |
28573 | Then we shall find only woodcocks in the place we are going to? |
28573 | What do you mean by saying he has a right to her, when I tell you the hare belongs to me? |
28573 | What does that mean? |
28573 | What is he like? |
28573 | What of them? 28573 What shall we do?" |
28573 | What, is the house then really in danger? |
28573 | Where are you going to take me? |
28573 | Who is that gentleman, sir? |
28573 | Why do you lag so far behind? |
28573 | Why not scribble all this? |
28573 | Why so? |
28573 | Why, what''s the matter? |
28573 | Would you prefer confronting a wild boar? |
28573 | You persist, then, in saying that I am not even to take my head cook with me? |
28573 | You? 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? |
28573 | And if there should come by chance a wolf to the_ Mare_ when I shall be all alone, what must I do?" |
28573 | And so this fine gentleman, with his yellow spectacles and bald head, is not going to tell us anything about crops, vineyards, planting, or sowing?" |
28573 | And the good_ curés_? |
28573 | And the most clever men- cooks, the happiest receipts, and latest culinary inventions-- for whom are they? |
28573 | But 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? |
28573 | But then, how shall I carry them off? |
28573 | But what are these splendid wonders of the town to them? |
28573 | By the spectacles of my grandmother, what will become of me? |
28573 | Cette tisane!--A moi? |
28573 | Could any one forget him? |
28573 | Did I say it had never been shaved? |
28573 | Do you mean to say that I''m afraid of a bull?" |
28573 | Do you observe, I said, that little white house, half- hidden yonder in the poplars-- there, on the banks of the Cure? |
28573 | Do you see that tomb-- that large gray stone?" |
28573 | Do you think you can take good aim, and pull the trigger?" |
28573 | Do you, or do you not feel able to take part in the approaching drama?" |
28573 | Echo answers,"Who knows?" |
28573 | England, they say, is more opulent and better cultivated; be it so,--she is richer, she manufactures more; but is she happier? |
28573 | Furious at this behaviour, I bowed and said to him,"So, you are the owner of this precious cur?" |
28573 | Have they not a melodious choir of birds to arouse them each morning from their slumbers? |
28573 | Have they not also the shade and silence of the forest, the eternal freshness of the fountains? |
28573 | Have you not the sense to distinguish a joke from an insult? |
28573 | Hear you not the distant crash in the bushes?" |
28573 | How are you to tell that?" |
28573 | How do you feel? |
28573 | How, I beseech you, is the following_ monologue_ to stand comparison with the fierce excitement of such anticipations? |
28573 | I know; but which way are we to get out of this infernal place?" |
28573 | Is it a mountain, a church, a river, a star, a flower, a bird? |
28573 | Le Morvan, where is it? |
28573 | Le Morvan, who knows anything about Le Morvan? |
28573 | Let us have a narrative of your exploits?" |
28573 | Mr. Three per Cent.,"said one,"this is what you call sporting, is it-- killing starved woodcocks? |
28573 | Mulier rixosa: fug...""But what does it mean?" |
28573 | No nonsense-- no useless fears? |
28573 | Pray what do you mean by that?" |
28573 | Quick!--where shall I place myself? |
28573 | Reader, will you wonder?--here is the inscription:"Qui Dæmone pejus? |
28573 | Say, reader, is not this hill a charming pit- stall, and much preferable to the narrow crimson section of the bench at the Opera? |
28573 | Stoop down-- look closer; do you mean to tell me that the shepherds''dogs have made these prints of cloven feet in the mud?" |
28573 | The question is, who sends the fly? |
28573 | Their savage cries were renewed; they became more and more impatient and exasperated,--how was it possible to resist a piece of young horseflesh? |
28573 | This wretched pig was never happy: how could he be so? |
28573 | To 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(?) |
28573 | What ails you?" |
28573 | What am I to do without carriages, without opera nightingales, and, above all things, without a head cook?" |
28573 | What became of them? |
28573 | What could he have to do in the wilds of Le Morvan? |
28573 | What do I say? |
28573 | What shall I shoot?--what shall I not shoot? |
28573 | What was Cannes twenty years since? |
28573 | What was I to do? |
28573 | What was to be done under these circumstances? |
28573 | What was to be done? |
28573 | What, not the fox, with his splendid bushy tail? |
28573 | When shall I see thee again? |
28573 | Where, then, is Le Morvan? |
28573 | Where? |
28573 | Which direction therefore was he to take? |
28573 | Who says that I have? |
28573 | Who would have doubted it? |
28573 | Who, I ask you, is to understand such telegraphs as these? |
28573 | Why 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? |
28573 | Why, do n''t you see he is? |
28573 | Will he be a large one? |
28573 | Will it be a she- wolf, or a roebuck? |
28573 | Would 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. |
28573 | am I? |
28573 | am I? |
28573 | an orator: and pray what sort of a bird is that? |
28573 | and by what mysterious chronometer does it regulate with such exactness its movements? |
28573 | and she stamped her tiny foot;"will you go on? |
28573 | are you afraid? |
28573 | are you in such a funk as all that? |
28573 | but whose fault is it, sir; why did you not bring your eye- glass?" |
28573 | can not gold purchase health, most sapient doctors?" |
28573 | cried Adolphe,"which is the place of honour?" |
28573 | cried the banker, all amazed;"and for what, in the name of goodness?" |
28573 | do you think no more about it?" |
28573 | do you wish to give me up to the beasts?" |
28573 | have they not as scenes, the woods, the bubbling waters, verdant valleys, real sunrises and sunsets? |
28573 | he said, as he set me again on my legs, and pushed me from him,"Do you then already love to shed blood? |
28573 | how does it know the sportsman? |
28573 | is it this kind of game we are to watch for?" |
28573 | nor are you about to reply,"Angelic being, moss- rose of my soul, let me press your sweet lips?" |
28573 | supposing I am; what is the wonder? |
28573 | this pale and slender young man, with such delicate hands and rose- coloured nails, fought face to face with this terrible beast? |
28573 | to which point of the compass was he to turn the vessel''s prow? |
28573 | what did it signify to him what was done, or what happened behind those hills? |
28573 | what is Le Morvan? |
28573 | what is he going to chirrup about?" |
28573 | what the deuce is the matter with you? |
28573 | when, when shall I see you all again-- like the bird of passage, which, when the winter is over, returns to his sunny home? |
28573 | where can I go? |
28573 | who ever mentioned it in England, who knew its beauties? |
28573 | yes,--but my Spanish fives and Mexican bonds?" |
28573 | you acknowledge your fault, do you?" |
28573 | your dog, you bearded fool-- your cur of a dog? |
41220 | ''The King?'' 41220 Ancestors?" |
41220 | Are you aware of the magnitude of the undertaking? |
41220 | At what hour did he leave you? |
41220 | But,said Napoleon,"what have you done to deserve it?" |
41220 | Do you not see,answered Ducos,"that the general presides?" |
41220 | Do you see those bullets? |
41220 | For 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? |
41220 | Has he any military skill? |
41220 | Have you bread for my troops? |
41220 | If I do not leave you at Parisanswered Napoleon,"on whom can I depend?" |
41220 | Indeed, and why so early? |
41220 | Is Dego retaken? |
41220 | What has he ever done to render himself conspicuous? |
41220 | What injury,said he,"have I done to you?" |
41220 | What is his name? |
41220 | What will become of me,he said,"if the English, who are cruising hereabouts, should learn that I have landed in Corsica? |
41220 | What would you do if you could act as you pleased? |
41220 | Where shall I be able to live with my family? |
41220 | Who are you? |
41220 | Who is that? |
41220 | Why not fire then? |
41220 | Why should I not? |
41220 | You, Sire,"And would you fire on me? |
41220 | You, Sire,"Who made you captain? |
41220 | Your name? |
41220 | ''You do n''t know what the King is doing then?'' |
41220 | And Napoleon II., was he no longer thought of?" |
41220 | And where are the enemy? |
41220 | And which of you could charge himself with a like burden? |
41220 | Are we no longer the same men? |
41220 | At about 5 o''clock Napoleon asked Marshal Soult,"Shall we beat them?" |
41220 | At the first summons Murat came up at a gallop:"Well,"said Napoleon,"are you going to let those fellows eat us up?" |
41220 | But wherefore shed so much blood? |
41220 | Displeased at this mark of separation from the rest Napoleon said hastily:"How is this? |
41220 | Do you beard the French general in the very centre of his army? |
41220 | Do you imagine you can make men fight by reasoning? |
41220 | Do you know what is more difficult to bear than reverses of fortune? |
41220 | Does he expect me to make them? |
41220 | Does that satisfy you?" |
41220 | Fouché read the letter aloud, and then exclaimed,"Is he laughing at us? |
41220 | Have we not killed men enough, and inflicted sufficient sufferings on the human race? |
41220 | He called an aid- de- camp and asked in a business- like manner:''Are the red- hot shot ready?'' |
41220 | If he falls, shall we fall with him?" |
41220 | If it be thus with me, what must it be with others? |
41220 | In the course of the conversation, Captain Maitland, according to his own statement, threw out the suggestion,"Why not seek an asylum in England?" |
41220 | Is my tenure of sovereignty so frail that a single person can place it in jeopardy? |
41220 | It 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? |
41220 | It was about this time that a lady asked Napoleon:"How could you fire thus mercilessly upon your countrymen?" |
41220 | Leaping from his carriage as the words reached his ears, the Emperor exclaimed,"What means this? |
41220 | Napoleon led the Cardinal to the window, opened it, and pointing upwards, said,"Do you see yonder star?" |
41220 | Napoleon replied,"Come Metternich, tell me honestly how much the English have given you to take their part against me?" |
41220 | Ney entered first:"Well, have you succeeded? |
41220 | On 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? |
41220 | She asks,''Why is Toulon not yet taken? |
41220 | Some one struck with his appearance asked the general_ who that little bit of an officer was, and where he picked him up_? |
41220 | The Emperor, during the course of their conversation, is said to have asked"What is your price? |
41220 | The question put to them, as framed by Cambacérès and Le Brun, was:"Napoleon Bonaparte-- Shall he be Consul for life?" |
41220 | Those around remonstrated with him for continually exposing his person, to which he replied:"What can I do? |
41220 | To all suggestions referring to his providing for his future wants he replied,"What matters it? |
41220 | To what purpose? |
41220 | What have you done with the one hundred thousand of French citizens, my companions in glory, all of whom I knew? |
41220 | What is to become of us? |
41220 | What, my Guard checked by the Spaniards,--by armed peasants?" |
41220 | When Caulaincourt advised him to seek safety from the Allies in flight to the United States, he replied;"What have I to fear? |
41220 | Where Marmont? |
41220 | Where Mortier?" |
41220 | Where are my wife and boy? |
41220 | Who could have thought the prediction would so soon have been fulfilled?" |
41220 | Who dares pretend to be master over us? |
41220 | Why did they not let me die? |
41220 | Why here with your cavalry, Belliard? |
41220 | Why is the English fleet not yet destroyed?'' |
41220 | Will Illyria satisfy you? |
41220 | Will 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?" |
41220 | are you no longer the brave warriors of Lodi? |
41220 | cried the Emperor, with considerable irritation,"where does he suppose I can get them? |
41220 | cried the dying man,"ca n''t_ you_ save me?" |
41220 | exclaimed he,"I ask but six hours more,--wilt thou refuse them?" |
41220 | exclaimed the visitor,"not yet in bed?" |
41220 | replied Napoleon,"it is impossible, is it? |
41220 | said he, loud enough to be heard by those near him;"how could he suffer this rabble to enter? |
41220 | the commander cried,"do you not know the order? |
41220 | with such a prospect before you, can you fail in courage and perseverance?" |
9831 | And if I should not obey? |
9831 | And then? |
9831 | And why not? 9831 Two- thirds of my life is passed, why should I so distress myself about what remains? |
9831 | What shall I do,she asked,"to ward off this storm?" |
9831 | Why are you so gloomy? |
9831 | ''Do you remember Mayence? |
9831 | And how did he prepare it? |
9831 | Are my grandchildren well? |
9831 | Are you as well as I could hope? |
9831 | Are your mother and I nothing? |
9831 | At about five o''clock Napoleon asked of Marshal Soult:"Shall we beat them?" |
9831 | Bossuet was right when he said:"What could you find on earth strong and dignified enough to bear the name of power? |
9831 | But can any one but a Caesar himself speak of what Caesar has done? |
9831 | But every one knows me, and how would it be for me, and for others, if I should go too far? |
9831 | But what do you want? |
9831 | Did he remember the crowd of courtiers who resembled priests whose God he was? |
9831 | Did he then recall the splendor of his return from Jena, from Friedland, from Tilsitt? |
9831 | Did they not know that the man who governs it is the most astounding man in the world, and the greatest warrior history has ever known?" |
9831 | Did you hear what I said when I placed the crown on my head?" |
9831 | Did you see the ceremony? |
9831 | Do you claim equality? |
9831 | Do you know her? |
9831 | Do you want to add to my regret? |
9831 | Have the grand festivities of Baden, Stuttgart, and Munich made you forget the poor soldier who lives covered with mud, rain, and blood? |
9831 | Have we not acknowledged that you have a soul? |
9831 | Have you not more courage? |
9831 | He pinched the Queen''s ear, and asked her,"What do you say to that, Hortense?" |
9831 | How can a man tell the truth to himself when there is no one about him courageous enough to tell it to him? |
9831 | How can you tell? |
9831 | How could it be otherwise when I am separated from a daughter like you, loving, gentle, and amiable, who was the charm of my life?... |
9831 | How is your husband? |
9831 | In a few moments he controlled his emotion, gave Josephine a farewell kiss, and said:"The carriages are ready, are they not? |
9831 | Indeed, how is it possible to escape intoxication by the fumes of perpetual incense? |
9831 | Is it well to forget that those nations who are most modest in success are bravest and most resigned in misfortune? |
9831 | Is not that an agreeable bit of news for a mother who loves you so dearly? |
9831 | Of all the illustrious persons who have knelt in this old basilica, what is left? |
9831 | Of genius? |
9831 | Of glory? |
9831 | One Tribune, M. Joubert, exclaimed:"Is not Napoleon the man of history, the man of all ages? |
9831 | One day he asked the hereditary Prince of Baden:"What did you do yesterday?" |
9831 | Should it speak to you of triumphs? |
9831 | The Bishop of Rennes:"Did not those kings know, or did they forget in their delirium, that the French nation is now the first nation in the world? |
9831 | Then he went on to praise polygamy in a very unchivalrous and unsentimental way, saying ironically:"What cause of complaint do you have, after all? |
9831 | Then the Emperor burst out laughing and said:"Happiness? |
9831 | They said very much what follows:--"Well, sir, do you still told to Madame Jouberthon and her son?" |
9831 | Was he to prove her saviour? |
9831 | Was she to be a repudiated wife or a crowned Empress? |
9831 | Was there ever a life of greater vicissitudes? |
9831 | What Frenchman could have foretold in 1806 the disasters of 1814 and 1815? |
9831 | What could be more touching, more maternal, than this letter from the Empress? |
9831 | What does she care for the esteem and attentions of a friend who was once her lover? |
9831 | What has become of these drawing- rooms of the Tuileries, which it was such an honor to enter, which were trod with such respectful awe? |
9831 | What was the origin of this young girl whose hand was thus sought by the hereditary Prince of Baden? |
9831 | What, then, must be the result of an invitation sent or withheld?" |
9831 | When is one more urgently reminded of the emptiness of human glory and greatness? |
9831 | Who can tell? |
9831 | Who knows better than I do how many tears I have shed there? |
9831 | Who knows? |
9831 | Who would have told me when I was a simple artillery officer walking about Toulon that I should be destined to take that city?" |
9831 | Why could you not distract her a little? |
9831 | Why does not the clergy, instead of intoning a_ Te Deum_, take the part of that slave? |
9831 | Why is this happiness troubled by sad memories that can never be destroyed? |
9831 | Why these tears and lamentations? |
9831 | Would not that be setting an example of hypocrisy, and committing a sacrilege?" |
9831 | You swear it?" |
9831 | Your son was everything for you? |
9831 | and how is your health, dear Hortense? |
8819 | Are you a Belge? |
8819 | But how in the world,I asked of my guide,"did you know that all these people were wanting to sell?" |
8819 | But why? |
8819 | Do? |
8819 | Have you? |
8819 | How so? |
8819 | Où allez- vous, Monaco? |
8819 | Vat ish he? 8819 What am I to do?" |
8819 | What countryman are you? |
8819 | What countryman do you say you are? |
8819 | What is this life, if it be not mixed with some delight? 8819 Which monsieur is the happy possessor of card number nine?" |
8819 | Who art thou? |
8819 | Why do you want to see Brueghel? |
8819 | Why? 8819 Yet you say you are English?" |
8819 | You think I am a German? |
8819 | ''Why then,''said they,''do you not immediately lead us thither, before our blood is quite parched?'' |
8819 | An inflammation of the lungs? |
8819 | And what delight is more pleasing than to see the fashions and manners of unknown places? |
8819 | And, after having looked and dreamed over that figure, could one come to Bourges and not think of that heroic and fatal struggle? |
8819 | Are you German?" |
8819 | Are you a doctor, and do not recognise Jäger garments? |
8819 | Bourges, which is in Berry, which is in the very centre of France? |
8819 | Brightening to greater brilliancy as he turns to me:"Will you buy de last number of my paper? |
8819 | But what were these_ utriculares_? |
8819 | But why a lighthouse here? |
8819 | But-- had I come upon a nursery of hallelujah lasses? |
8819 | But-- is not that sufficient? |
8819 | Does the reader know how strictly the observance of Lent was enforced down to the Civil Wars in England? |
8819 | Had a cunning jackdaw, as in the''Gazza di Ladra''carried it off, or had a child tumbled it out of an attic window on to the leads? |
8819 | Had he been so left, what would she have done? |
8819 | Has the reader never been puzzled to note the difference between old work and new, even when the new is a reproduction of the old? |
8819 | Have you ever been at a stag hunt? |
8819 | He was a kindly, honourable, somewhat bumptious man-- but what great talkers think small matter of themselves? |
8819 | Hev you been in Provence?" |
8819 | How had the thimble got on the roof? |
8819 | Influenza-- would that decimate the flock? |
8819 | Now what is the origin of this extraordinary custom-- a custom that is childish, and yet is so curious that one would hardly wish to see it abolished? |
8819 | Now, what is the result of all this outlay? |
8819 | On the obverse it bears a representation of an inflated skin of a beast( a calf? |
8819 | One morning my Jew friend said to me:"Do you want to see de, what you call behind- de- scenes of Florence? |
8819 | Or-- is it possible that there is such a little creation only visible to man when he is subject to certain influences? |
8819 | Presently after me came the guard:"Would not Monsieur like to descend? |
8819 | She vas a very vicked voman; she poisoned her fader.--Do you see dis littel nick? |
8819 | The Teutons looked up at the military on the cliffs and flung at them the insolent question:"Have you any messages for your wives in Italy? |
8819 | The reader may ask-- If you are writing a book on Provence and Languedoc, why give us Bourges? |
8819 | Tink so?" |
8819 | Warts( a labourer held up a horny hand, the middle joint of the little finger disfigured with such excrescences)? |
8819 | Was it of silver or of brass? |
8819 | Was it worth soiling his fingers over or not? |
8819 | Were the nights to be made hideous with Salvation Army howls? |
8819 | What had or would happen? |
8819 | What is M. Sadi- Carnot? |
8819 | What was to be done? |
8819 | When the retreat was at an end he button- holed him, and asked,"Well, how did you get on?" |
8819 | Where is the wife?" |
8819 | Why did I wander through Provence, the land of troubadours, if I were no troubadour? |
8819 | Why not? |
8819 | Will you come to my office, and bring your luggage?" |
8819 | Would any English and American travellers desert Montecarlo for a day to see a Sadi- Carnot?" |
8819 | Would you like to see my drawings? |
8819 | You understand? |
8819 | You understand?" |
8819 | _ Why_ should the sun on the head superinduce visions of kobolds? |
8819 | a darling child sick? |
8819 | do you see dis great piece broken out of de blade? |
8819 | or a fire-- would that consume my books and pictures? |
8819 | que de singeries faites- vous là, Madeleine?" |
5716 | Are you quite sure? |
5716 | But 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?" |
5716 | Captain,said he,"I''ve come to know how many ladies will be wanted for the frigate?" |
5716 | Do n''t you smoke? |
5716 | Do n''t you understand? 5716 Do you see that bit of a blue cloak down that hole? |
5716 | Have n''t you ever tried to dress them? |
5716 | Look here, Fleury,said he,"what use can I be to you today?" |
5716 | Off the English packet too? |
5716 | Oh, had you indeed? 5716 Parley for whom? |
5716 | Really? |
5716 | That''s what you have been sent from St. Pierre Miquelon for? |
5716 | What are you doing there? |
5716 | What are you doing there? |
5716 | What do they represent? |
5716 | What do you mean? |
5716 | What do you mean? |
5716 | What do you think has just happened to me? 5716 What is to be done?" |
5716 | What orders? |
5716 | What''s your protege''s name? |
5716 | What? |
5716 | Who is he? |
5716 | Whom do you mean? |
5716 | After 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?" |
5716 | All he got for his pains was a shout of"What the devil do we care about a mayor like you?" |
5716 | And by whom? |
5716 | And is not this the chief cause of the vigour and energy of the great American nation? |
5716 | And so Paris was fortified Who dares nowadays to say, that this was not a convincing proof of the King''s foresight as a ruler? |
5716 | And what indeed would life be without passion? |
5716 | And what shall I say of the superb Swiss battalions, acknowledged by ancient tradition to be the finest infantry in the world? |
5716 | And what were the stipulations of the treaty? |
5716 | And what were we doing during these anxious hours? |
5716 | And whither? |
5716 | And why? |
5716 | Are there any idle men in America? |
5716 | As I listened to the tale I asked General Vallee,--"But what would you have done, General, if the assault had been repulsed?" |
5716 | But how many envious individuals were there to every one who was content? |
5716 | But how shall I describe my own, under such a terrible and unexpected blow? |
5716 | But 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? |
5716 | But with what? |
5716 | Did you ever even hear of it? |
5716 | Do you know how to drive?" |
5716 | For the insurrection? |
5716 | For the rioters? |
5716 | Had we not largely contributed by our support of the Belgian revolution to lessening his kingdom by one half? |
5716 | Has this sort of export trade answered with us? |
5716 | He entered the room and said:"Do you remember me?" |
5716 | How could anybody be angry? |
5716 | How was he, the Prince Royal, known as he was by everybody, to get away? |
5716 | I 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?" |
5716 | Lieutenant Cooke.--"If I do n''t give him up, shall you take him by force?" |
5716 | One word or deed of sympathy for all our reverses? |
5716 | Or did the bombs from the bombship do the job? |
5716 | Say nothing to Pepel? |
5716 | Says the admiral to me,"Are we to go in that?" |
5716 | Should the King be warned? |
5716 | Should the review be put off?" |
5716 | Should we get to the shore before it? |
5716 | That being so, what was I to do? |
5716 | There were a dozen women besides, and do you know, my reader, what that pack of women was? |
5716 | Threaten him? |
5716 | To the Judge''s question"What is your profession?" |
5716 | Was it Stamboul, or was it Pera, and with Pera our hotel, that was blazing? |
5716 | Was it my shells? |
5716 | Was it not rather scattered to the winds by the ruinous action of political forces? |
5716 | Were you ever at Thomar? |
5716 | What did they live on then? |
5716 | What did we get by it? |
5716 | What is it?" |
5716 | What recollections have I of those four months of repose? |
5716 | What shall I say about the march of the column to which I was attached upon Constantine? |
5716 | What were we to do? |
5716 | What''s the meaning of this? |
5716 | What, think you, did our middies do? |
5716 | Where were they not talked, indeed? |
5716 | Wherefore? |
5716 | Which is the best inspiration for an artist, money or passion? |
5716 | Which of the two was in the right? |
5716 | Why 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? |
5716 | Will it be believed that our squadrons never went near that excellent anchorage and lovely spot? |
5716 | Would it be rendered her now? |
5716 | Would it rise upright and capsize us, or would it break on us and swamp us? |
5716 | Would that be possible nowadays, when electioneering palaver has embittered the whole business? |
5716 | [ Footnote: Translator''s note.--What became of the poor lady?] |
5716 | or the slang saying of the day,"Have you seen Leontine?" |
22345 | Do these men think,said he,"that I throw away my money? |
22345 | Salviti, where are you taking me? |
22345 | Sir, do you come from France? |
22345 | What are you going to do at Milan? |
22345 | What do you do there? |
22345 | What 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?" |
22345 | Yet 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?" |
22345 | A man, that Napoleon had reason to dread, was Moreau: was his life attempted? |
22345 | Abandoned, 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? |
22345 | After a few moments of silence, he said,"Do my generals go to court? |
22345 | And the king, what sort of a countenance has he?" |
22345 | And wherefore? |
22345 | Are men responsible for the caprice of fate? |
22345 | Are the infernal machine and its terrible ravages forgotten? |
22345 | Besides, what right had she to have her son made a duke of St. Leu, and a peer of the Bourbons? |
22345 | But do I say his genius? |
22345 | But how do all those old_ thicksculls_ spend their money? |
22345 | But how do you think foreigners will like my return: there is the great question?" |
22345 | But pray did he tell you that he had been at Elba?" |
22345 | But what will be the conduct of the national guards? |
22345 | But whilst the storm was gathering in France, how was Napoleon employed? |
22345 | But why wo n''t you take the passport which I offer you?" |
22345 | But, supposing it to be just with regard to some, is it as easy, as is commonly thought, to overcome the will of a sovereign? |
22345 | By what right would foreigners rob you of your independence, the first right, and the first good, of all nations? |
22345 | Did I not''decorate''you on the field of battle?" |
22345 | Do you know the names of the officers who command the maritime districts, and the eighth division?" |
22345 | Do you not know, you will say to them, that your Emperor is here? |
22345 | Do you take me rightly? |
22345 | Do you think it is true that they are on ill terms with each other?" |
22345 | Do you think it would be well, if I were to return?" |
22345 | Do you think they will fight for them?" |
22345 | Had not Napoleon allowed the Cortes of Spain to elect their monarch of their own uncontrolled authority? |
22345 | Has Ney any command?" |
22345 | Has he seen my son?" |
22345 | Has not the king pretended, that he has not ceased to reign over France these five- and- twenty years? |
22345 | Has the Emperor allowed you to remain with us?" |
22345 | Have you been at court?" |
22345 | He had his moments of impatience and warmth; and what honest citizen has not? |
22345 | His conscience was satisfied, how could he be unhappy? |
22345 | I began my detail, but he exclaimed, without allowing me to finish,"that''s enough; why did you not begin by telling me all that? |
22345 | I want a French passport: can you, or can you not get me one?" |
22345 | I wanted to reconcile Europe to us, and to close the revolution.... What do my soldiers say about me?" |
22345 | If at that instant any body had cried out to me,"Rascal, what are you about?" |
22345 | If he was to put any questions to you on that head, how would you answer him? |
22345 | Is it not to fortune, rather than to M. Z***, that we must impute the disastrous end of this revolution, begun under such happy auspices? |
22345 | Is it thought that there will be a new revolution?" |
22345 | Is it true, that so much was made of Alexander at Paris?" |
22345 | M.*** will give you a letter for him: do you understand me?" |
22345 | Must it be said? |
22345 | On what terms is he with the king?" |
22345 | Shall we suffer them to inherit the fruits of our glorious toils? |
22345 | Sometimes he said,"That''s a good article; whose is it?" |
22345 | That Napoleon aspired to the throne? |
22345 | The Emperor, turning towards me, added:"How is it, that the absurd fable of this man has not been contradicted?" |
22345 | The concern will turn out well... do you understand me?" |
22345 | The government had one sole and last hope remaining: it was, dare I say it? |
22345 | They knew not whither they were going, but Napoleon was present, and with him could they doubt of victory? |
22345 | Think you that handful of Frenchmen, now so arrogant, can support their sight? |
22345 | To- day the English corvette[35] is here, and those people are suspicious of every thing: is it publicly known who you are?" |
22345 | Was it maintained that Napoleon had reigned despotically? |
22345 | Was she much regretted?" |
22345 | Was the emperor taxed with boundless ambition? |
22345 | Was there a public mourning for her?" |
22345 | Were apprehensions entertained of the disclosures he might make?... |
22345 | What are Augereau and Marmont about?" |
22345 | What could he disclose to the French people? |
22345 | What do you wait for? |
22345 | What does Hortense do?" |
22345 | What has been done at the Tuileries?" |
22345 | What have they done with my pictures?" |
22345 | What heart could steel itself against the sorrows of that august and aged man, against the sound of his mournful voice? |
22345 | What indeed could he do with the old puppets that are about him? |
22345 | What is it supposed, that the foreigners will think of my return?" |
22345 | What is the name of an emperor? |
22345 | What must we conclude from this coldness on the one hand, and this enthusiasm on the other? |
22345 | What voice is raised, to demand those succours, which, according to the declaration, are to be granted only when claimed? |
22345 | When he had finished, the Emperor said to him:"You were much astonished, then, at hearing of our having landed?" |
22345 | Where is Maret? |
22345 | Who besides have been the victims of his pretended ferocity? |
22345 | Who is able to be so? |
22345 | Who shall pretend to be our master? |
22345 | Why does not the Emperor keep himself quiet? |
22345 | Why, too, did she go and demand the title of duchess?" |
22345 | Will it be said, that Pichegru was strangled by his orders? |
22345 | Will the death of Georges, and his obscure accomplices, be considered as a judicial murder? |
22345 | Will this opinion be well founded? |
22345 | Will you leave to others the honour of joining him before you? |
22345 | ah, where is the sovereign, that can esteem them? |
22345 | am I dead?" |
22345 | are you crazy?" |
22345 | do you suppose that fellows of the police know every thing, and can foresee every thing? |
22345 | said he to me,"does that little Germain fancy it necessary to shun me? |
22345 | said he to them,"do you not know me? |
22345 | that the garrisons of Grenoble and Lyons have marched to join him with the charge step? |
22345 | the honour of marching at the head of his advanced guard? |
22345 | to seize upon our honours, and our property, and calumniate our fame? |
22345 | where is Caulincourt? |
22345 | where is Fouché?" |
22345 | where is Lavalette? |
13333 | And what do the other engineers say? |
13333 | But can the Nile spare the water? |
13333 | Has the cow a fine calf? |
13333 | How is it possible,said Montalembert,"that a man can rush so completely from one opinion to another? |
13333 | How is the mare? |
13333 | Que diable veut cette guerre? |
13333 | Recollect,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?"'' |
13333 | Well,replied the Emperor,"but supposing for the sake of the argument, that it is practicable, what are your intentions?" |
13333 | What are your views,he asked,"as to the Suez Canal?" |
13333 | What 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?'' |
13333 | A war with England can scarcely be short, and yet you think that he plans one?'' |
13333 | And if he do venture, will he succeed? |
13333 | And was not that done in order to enable certain_ faiseurs_ to realise their gains?'' |
13333 | And what is the consequence? |
13333 | And what may months bring forth in such a country as France? |
13333 | And what say you of our friends the Turks? |
13333 | And why are the shareholders to be French? |
13333 | And will England quietly look on?'' |
13333 | Are they to be marched on Switzerland, or on Piedmont, or on Belgium? |
13333 | At length they found that he was there no longer: and how do you suppose that his imprisonment has ended? |
13333 | Besides, what is to be done to amuse these 400,000 bayonets,_ his_ masters as well as ours? |
13333 | But 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?" |
13333 | But what good could they do? |
13333 | Can not you consider it as read?" |
13333 | Did he make the attempt? |
13333 | Did you receive it? |
13333 | Do you believe in a dissolution? |
13333 | Do you remember how, on the debate of the Roman expedition, he annihilated by one sentence Jules Favre who had ventured to assail him? |
13333 | Does he look back, like Talleyrand, to the_ ancien régime_ as a golden age?'' |
13333 | Has not this occurred twice? |
13333 | Has she received my letter addressed to her at Heidelberg? |
13333 | Have no books ever treated of this subject in England? |
13333 | Have they ventured, or will they venture, to hang a single seceder?'' |
13333 | How could so clever a man be guilty of such eccentricities? |
13333 | How has your larynx endured this trial? |
13333 | How many thousand volunteers would he have for a"pointe"on London? |
13333 | How, and through what transitions? |
13333 | I asked him if he had read Louis Napoleon''s orders to Canrobert, published in Bazancourt''s book? |
13333 | I can understand enthusiasm for a democrat in America, but what claim had he to the sympathy of aristocratic England?'' |
13333 | I 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?'' |
13333 | If so, when? |
13333 | In such a city as Paris? |
13333 | In such times as these? |
13333 | Is Mrs. Grote returned from Germany? |
13333 | Is it true, or have you recovered? |
13333 | Is it true? |
13333 | Is she well? |
13333 | Is 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?'' |
13333 | It has certainly been mismanaged, but who has been in fault? |
13333 | More so than Lamartine?'' |
13333 | On what other footing does the North put them? |
13333 | Shall I at the same time send back to you the conversation which I have corrected, and in what way? |
13333 | T-----?'' |
13333 | That the Republicans love your aristocracy, or the Imperialists your freedom? |
13333 | The Duc d''Angoulême one day said to him,"Vous êtes protestant, général?" |
13333 | Voulez- vous le tenir pour dit, Monsieur, et recevoir de nouveau mes excuses du dérangement que j''ai dû vous causer? |
13333 | Was 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? |
13333 | What are your studies in the Bibliothèque Royale? |
13333 | What chance have the Murats?'' |
13333 | What else do these complaints of what is called"the system"mean? |
13333 | What good will his speech do? |
13333 | What have we gained by the additional example of their superiority? |
13333 | What is Baraguay d''Hilliers?'' |
13333 | What is the news as to our Canal? |
13333 | What is then to be done with them? |
13333 | What is to be expected from this addition of 100,000? |
13333 | What think you, as a political economist, of this form of outdoor relief? |
13333 | What will be the shock if the Crédit Foncier or the Crédit Mobilier fail, after having borrowed each its milliard? |
13333 | What would England say?'' |
13333 | What, will it be when the Government professes to hate them?'' |
13333 | When did this revolution take place? |
13333 | Who can say how many similar cases there may be in this wholesale transportation? |
13333 | Whom shall I ask to meet him?'' |
13333 | Why did he associate himself with the Gauche whom he despised, and oppose the Droit with whom he sympathised? |
13333 | Why should we wait?" |
13333 | Why would he never take office under Louis Philippe? |
13333 | Will Palmerston let us have it? |
13333 | Will not the other armies demand their share of work and reward? |
13333 | Will that stand any better? |
13333 | You must think me, my dear friend, very tiresome with all these questions and dissertations; but of what else can I speak? |
13333 | and if so, why have you not answered it? |
13333 | and, secondly, that thereupon the Grand Central shares rose much in the market?'' |
13333 | he said,"we have given up all our demands; why tease us by trying to prove that we ought not to have made them?" |
43283 | Can not persons feel an interest in their people? |
43283 | Could she not have died without me? |
43283 | Has she no voice? |
43283 | Is it possible,she says,"that you have never seen a great hunt? |
43283 | That is just so,replied Madame,"and what should I do without this house? |
43283 | That 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?" |
43283 | To which of us is the virtue of fortitude most necessary, Beauvais? |
43283 | What do we deserve when we do wrong? 43283 What do you mean,"they asked her,"by an ill- formed, captious mind?" |
43283 | Where is your father? |
43283 | Will you embroider? |
43283 | Will you take a walk, or play at some game? |
43283 | A delicate question presents itself,--more delicate than that of_ lansquenet_: did the Duchesse de Bourgogne have weaknesses of the heart? |
43283 | All my own nearest ones are dead; for whom, therefore, should I give myself cares? |
43283 | Also, would you believe it? |
43283 | Am I not doing a much greater good by this compliance to the mistresses of the different classes? |
43283 | And you, Laudonie, what would you like, when you are no longer here?" |
43283 | Are you not, as it were, making game of me? |
43283 | Are you simple enough to believe that Catholics have none of the true foundations of Christianity? |
43283 | But what good is there in re- making history and in setting up a mere idea of what_ might have been_? |
43283 | But, indeed, my dear father, is it not high time to end our sorrows? |
43283 | Can you know me and yet think that the representation of"Athalie"goes before the regulations established at Saint- Cyr? |
43283 | Did I do wrong to give him good advice and to try, as best I could, to break up his connections? |
43283 | Do they feel distress at the words"breed"or"breeze"or"breviary"? |
43283 | Do you think yourself necessary because you have a fine voice? |
43283 | Does the arrangement of the letters form an immodest word? |
43283 | God, nevertheless, destined me to be there; why, then, has He given me this aversion to it? |
43283 | Have 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? |
43283 | Have you not observed that the frankest girls are the soonest confessed? |
43283 | He asked Lord Douglas:"What can I do to win the sympathy of my people?" |
43283 | He 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?" |
43283 | Here are horses and dogs and forests; will you hunt?" |
43283 | How can you suppose that we should allow such rebellion? |
43283 | How can you, madame, wish for my letters? |
43283 | How could he know what happened at Commercy, or guess that the Pretender was going incognito to Bretagne? |
43283 | How do you reconcile that puffed- up heart with the pious devotion in which you are being brought up? |
43283 | I answer:"Well, my daughter, what can I do? |
43283 | I never heard of that philosopher Spinoza; was he a Spaniard? |
43283 | I replied:"And Honour, monsieur, what can repair that?" |
43283 | I said,"How can that be, at her age?" |
43283 | If 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? |
43283 | If, with this magnificence, wealth, and luxury, I had nothing to pain me, would anything on this earth be so likely to ruin me? |
43283 | In place of a blithesome fairy and a being of enchantment, what was it that suddenly appeared before them? |
43283 | Is it not horrible? |
43283 | Is it possible that he really thinks we will not give him good terms? |
43283 | Lord Stair, having received these documents, said to Prince Cellamare:"Well, monsieur, what do you say now about your fleet?" |
43283 | Next she said,"Is that all you are thinking? |
43283 | Now, shall I venture to express my thought? |
43283 | On the other hand, was I wrong to accept the affection of the king on the conditions upon which I accepted it? |
43283 | Shall we fail to give our pupils the true ideas they ought to have on all things? |
43283 | She is with the king from morning till night?'' |
43283 | She played a part in"Athalie;"why should I not tell what she thought of that play, capricious child that she was? |
43283 | Sometimes the king perceives it and says:''You are very tired, are you not? |
43283 | The fabricators of those lies are confounded, and now ask pardon: but was it not horrible to invent such tales? |
43283 | The king said,"Is not a dinner, a cavalcade, a hunt, a collation enough for one day?" |
43283 | The old_ guenipe_ came up to me and said:"Do you think yourself cleverer than all the doctors who are here?" |
43283 | The surgeon wept and said to Fagon:"Do you compel me to be the one to kill my mistress?" |
43283 | The surgeon who bled her said to Fagon:"Monsieur, have you reflected? |
43283 | The_ valet de chambre_ said to him:"Monsieur, what are you doing in our closet, and why are you touching Madame''s cup?" |
43283 | Thereupon she answered insolently( and I admired the patience of my son):"Did not the dauphine die?" |
43283 | We 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?" |
43283 | What advantage should I gain by tormenting myself night and day? |
43283 | What can I do then? |
43283 | What can I do? |
43283 | What does God do? |
43283 | What effect does plain- chant have on the classes?" |
43283 | What exception could there be to our rules? |
43283 | What refinement do they mean by this? |
43283 | What would have become of me, therefore, had I chosen Montargis for my residence? |
43283 | When 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? |
43283 | When 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?" |
43283 | Where can they be better brought up than beside so sensible and virtuous a mother? |
43283 | Who has not seen such long- suppressed enmities which explode when an opening is made for them? |
43283 | Why do you not ask of your class all that you know I should ask of them? |
43283 | Why, madame, do you speak to me of respectful attachment? |
43283 | Will he let them take Turin again? |
43283 | You know the Gospel by heart; and what good will such learning do you if you are lost like Lucifer? |
43283 | asked my son,"was she immortal?" |
43283 | but do you love us less? |
43283 | de Brinon and I? |
43283 | de Grouchy into the novitiate; why not also Fontanges, who desires it so ardently? |
43283 | de Maintenon asked us, with her accustomed kindness,"To whom, my children, do you wish me to address it?" |
43283 | de Maintenon beside Louis XIV.? |
43283 | de Maintenon said,"But have you nothing in your heart that you want to tell him?" |
43283 | de Maintenon,"what are yours; what would they be if you were no longer here?" |
43283 | de Mentenon me voit le plus souvent qui lui est possible ie croye pouvoir vous assurer sans saut[ trop?] |
43283 | does he want him to take one of his sons as page?" |
43283 | have you nothing else to say to him?" |
43283 | he used to say,"must I, in order to please people, talk such paltry and silly nonsense as my brother?" |
43283 | madame, ennui is gnawing you to death; why not take some amusement? |
43283 | shall worldly decency go farther than charity? |
43283 | to 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?" |
42231 | A pin? |
42231 | And what is it, pray? |
42231 | Are you Coligny? |
42231 | But how can we reward devotion like yours? |
42231 | Can you cure me? |
42231 | Demolish the tower of Saint- Jacques- de- la- Boucherie? |
42231 | Did you never before hear of a man fighting two antagonists? |
42231 | Didier de quoi? |
42231 | Eh, bien, monsieur,he said,"êtes- vous arrivé pour voir ce spectacle?" |
42231 | How? |
42231 | I am,he replied with calmness;"but will you not respect my age?" |
42231 | Is it a revolt, then? |
42231 | It will take you a long time to pay it off at that rate,said Laffitte,"and who knows whether you will ever bring me the first instalment?" |
42231 | Ought a man who can paint like that to be in want of a glass of sherry? |
42231 | Shall I never have any peace? |
42231 | Vous êtes bourreau? |
42231 | We are to take away M. de Lavalette, are we? |
42231 | What are you? |
42231 | What do you say? |
42231 | What have I done to be thus beloved? |
42231 | What have you there? |
42231 | What is it? 42231 What is it?" |
42231 | What poor devil has lost these? |
42231 | What was that? |
42231 | What would become of society? |
42231 | When? |
42231 | Who is that young man contradicting me so loudly? |
42231 | Why does n''t he appeal to arms? |
42231 | Why should he not? 42231 Why,"exclaimed the public accuser,"after a virtuous life of seventy- two years, must you now be declared guilty? |
42231 | Why? |
42231 | Would you,he said,"be kind enough to place this at the bottom of my portmanteau?" |
42231 | ''Does monsieur wish to eat?'' |
42231 | ''Does monsieur wish to read?'' |
42231 | ''To bind me?'' |
42231 | ''What are you attempting?'' |
42231 | ''What do you want?'' |
42231 | ''What have I done to my cousin,''he exclaimed,''that he should so persecute me? |
42231 | After supper his inquiry was:"Maître Nicholas, what shall we have for to- morrow''s dinner?" |
42231 | All those who have any share in the administration keep carriages, and what care they for the pedestrian traveller? |
42231 | Among the questions put to candidates for election to the Jacobin Club were the following:"What were you in 1789? |
42231 | And when? |
42231 | At the end of dinner he was accustomed to send for Maître Nicholas, his cook, and say:"Maître Nicholas, what shall we have for supper?" |
42231 | At the military post where he was taken upon his arrest, a National Guard having asked him who he was,"What''s that to you?" |
42231 | But what ought I to do in the matter?" |
42231 | Demolish the architect who suggests such a thing? |
42231 | Demolish the architect? |
42231 | Does he want us to perish of thirst now that he is dead?" |
42231 | Had Paris been destroyed and something like it raised up with a new population? |
42231 | He exclaimed with his last gasp,''Pas de Crême?''" |
42231 | His wandering eye seems to interrogate every passenger, saying with heartrending accents of despondency:''Where shall I find my wife? |
42231 | How can she replace this torn dress? |
42231 | How indeed, without such a reflection, could he from day to day exist? |
42231 | If they notice abuses why should they not point them out, when so many persons, reputed sage, are unwilling to do so?" |
42231 | Is he not dead?" |
42231 | Is it not the same fire and courage which you demand when you summon such youths to defend the country? |
42231 | Is this a service or injury to the language? |
42231 | King Louis IX., my brother, grants me 30,000 Paris livres, and the question is, shall I found a convent or a hospital?" |
42231 | Ours are more sober, no doubt, but is this sobriety the companion of health? |
42231 | She has no costume? |
42231 | Should he not be clad in garments more suitable to the minister of death? |
42231 | Soldiers of the 4th regiment of artillery, may the Emperor''s nephew reckon on you?" |
42231 | The two establishments were only separated by a street very much too narrow; if the theatre caught fire, was it not sure to burn the Library? |
42231 | They have fire, you say, in their nature; they love liberty: and at what age would you wish men to love liberty and defend it with courage? |
42231 | They talk of a reformation, but when is it to take place? |
42231 | Was I in Germany or in Russia? |
42231 | Was it as patriot, people asked, or as minister of a would- be despotic king, that M. Thiers proposed to raise around Paris a new and formidable wall? |
42231 | We see him still, coffee- pot in hand, saying in a voice profound,''Pas de Crême?'' |
42231 | What are your arms?" |
42231 | What becomes of him after that? |
42231 | What can be more admirable than Delacroix''s"Nymph,"at whose feet crouches a panther? |
42231 | What colours do you prefer-- green, the colour of hope, or the blue of Cincinnatus, the colour of American liberty and of democracy?" |
42231 | What crime have they committed?" |
42231 | What had such inquiries to do with springs and volcanoes? |
42231 | What has this brilliant college produced? |
42231 | What have you done since? |
42231 | What is the consequence of so gross an absurdity? |
42231 | What is the consequence of this unnatural restraint? |
42231 | What object could he have? |
42231 | What was your fortune until 1789, and what is it now?" |
42231 | What, it may be asked, had a quiet, peaceful, and eminently respectable monarch like Louis Philippe done to provoke repeated attempts upon his life? |
42231 | What,"Barère went on to say,"has ever come out of the Military School? |
42231 | When Richard III., in Shakespeare''s play, says to one of his pages,"Know''st thou a murderer?" |

42231 | Who can hear of the death of all he held dear and precious, and not wish to die? |
42231 | Who ever heard of the"Earl of Chatham"being converted into the"Sir Robert Peel,"or of"Lord Nelson"turning into"Sir Charles Napier"? |
42231 | Who has not read of Les Trois Frères Provençaux in Balzac''s"Scenes from Paris Life"? |
42231 | Who is it that can survive his friends, his relations, nay, a whole generation? |
42231 | Who will venture within a house where the bed of mercy is far more dreadful than the naked board on which lies the poorest wretch? |
42231 | Who would not fly from the bloody, detested spot? |
42231 | Who, meanwhile, was to live at the Tuileries? |
42231 | Why describe the ancient monument, when it is so much simpler to represent through drawings and engravings its most characteristic features? |
42231 | Why is one of them too rich, and the others too independent to write at so much per sheet?" |
42231 | Why 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?" |
42231 | Will you, in your turn, reassure those who are attached to me in your neighbourhood? |
42231 | Without them what should I now be? |
42231 | You think, perhaps, that the dancer or the singer paid for the representatives of the people? |
42231 | for what frightful calamity was I reserved? |
42231 | had he not some personal vengeance to exercise against me?'' |
42231 | will 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?'' |
59489 | After seeing nearly everything, the Colonel said:''And what about the non- commissioned officers?'' |
59489 | An infantry soldier, the sentinel, called out:''Who goes there?'' |
59489 | And what about feeding her?'' |
59489 | And where the devil have you come from? |
59489 | And where''s your_ queue_?'' |
59489 | And you? |
59489 | At last, breaking the silence, I asked in rather a trembling voice:''Are you a Frenchman?'' |
59489 | But an instant afterwards:''Why, my dear fellow, is it you? |
59489 | But do n''t you recognise Mouton? |
59489 | But hardly was I inside, when I heard the click of a musket, and a deep voice said:''Who goes there?'' |
59489 | But several began questioning them, in particular the old Chasseur, who said:''How is it you are on horseback, and dressed like a Cossack? |
59489 | But what could we do? |
59489 | But what is to become of me?'' |
59489 | But where could I get wood to relight the fire? |
59489 | But where is she?'' |
59489 | Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | Could I have spent 315 francs? |
59489 | Do n''t you see it, too?'' |
59489 | Do you not think he would be able to bring down his man?'' |
59489 | Do you remember when we embarked at Toulon on our way to Egypt?...'' |
59489 | Do you understand, sir?'' |
59489 | For sole answer, Marie sighed, saying,''How can you chaff an unhappy woman like me?'' |
59489 | Have n''t I been with him nearly five years, ever since the Battle of Eylau, and I''m not married? |
59489 | Have you been in the rear- guard?'' |
59489 | Have you forgotten it, Picart?'' |
59489 | Have you met some of our men behind?'' |
59489 | He went on:''Did you notice how he looked at us?'' |
59489 | Hearing nothing more, I began to think my senses had deceived me, and I called out as loud as I possibly could:''Where are you?'' |
59489 | How is it that you are alone? |
59489 | How many cartridges have you?'' |
59489 | How''s this? |
59489 | I remember an old officer of this battalion, as he went forward, singing Roland''s song:''Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | I said:''It''s I you are looking for, is n''t it?'' |
59489 | I went up to him, and, taking him by the arm, I said,''What is the matter with you, Picart?'' |
59489 | In our present dreadful circumstances, how could such music have been possible-- and, above all, at such an hour? |
59489 | Is n''t that a column of troops?'' |
59489 | Is n''t that like Picart?'' |
59489 | Is that you? |
59489 | Just then an officer galloped up, and, addressing the prisoners in French, he said:''Why do n''t you walk faster?'' |
59489 | Of what company is he? |
59489 | On all sides we heard cries of''Who has seen my horse?'' |
59489 | One 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? |
59489 | Recognising me, he said:''Well, what are you doing there? |
59489 | Several of them, on seeing me, began to call out,''Who would like 100 francs for a twenty- franc piece in gold?'' |
59489 | The Adjutant- Major, Roustan, ran to me and, seizing me by the arm, said:''My poor Bourgogne, are you wounded?'' |
59489 | The Colonel instantly said:''Sapper, you are wounded?'' |
59489 | The nearer I got to it, the better I seemed to recognise it, and at last I cried:''Is it you, Béloque? |
59489 | Then, dragging me behind a bush, he said in a low voice,''Do n''t you see?'' |
59489 | To guard against a surprise, I drew my sword, and, advancing towards the man, I cried,''Who are you?'' |
59489 | Two of them spoke to us; one cried,''Comrades, are you going to kill the horse? |
59489 | We had not been resting an hour, when we heard a shout,''Who goes there?'' |
59489 | We placed the Chasseur as comfortably as possible, and then left him to his melancholy fate; what else could we do? |
59489 | What brought you here in the middle of the night?'' |
59489 | What do you say to that, Marie?'' |
59489 | What do you say, Marie?'' |
59489 | What do you want?'' |
59489 | What else could one do? |
59489 | What have you been doing? |
59489 | What in the devil''s name do you do with those queer customers, and where did you find them? |
59489 | What is it?'' |
59489 | What object could these men have, almost dying as they were, in telling us this story, if it were not true? |
59489 | What were we to do? |
59489 | What will become of me?'' |
59489 | Where are they?'' |
59489 | Where are we?'' |
59489 | Who wants some? |
59489 | Why, then, did we not leave a town where there were no houses to shelter us, and no provisions to feed us? |
59489 | You 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 | _ From a sketch made at the time by an officer of Napoleon''s army._]''And the woman?'' |
59489 | he answered, as if only just awake,''is n''t the Emperor inspecting us?'' |
59489 | he exclaimed;''what is the good of that? |
59489 | he said;''it is n''t you, Bourgogne? |
59489 | he said;''that''s why I remind you of it, and ask you if a little patience and industry would not have mended your pan?'' |
59489 | is that you, Mother Gâteau?'' |
59489 | said the Marshal;''and why should you do it? |

2580 | Do n''t you know that the money, the wealth of these old merchants, belongs to you, and is not the river there?" |
2580 | Do not Mayor Pache''s wife and daughter go to the clubs and kiss drunken sans- culottes? |
2580 | Do we not all stand at the foot of the guillotine, all, beginning with myself?" |
2580 | Do you believe in equality established by nature and ordained by the Convention? |
2580 | Does it merely relate to those incarcerated? |
2580 | Does it provide for its own revision? |

2580 | How many perished on account of this misery? |

2580 | Upon 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?" |

2580 | Why should it hesitate in commanding the execution of every work advantageous to the community, and why abstain from forbidding every harmful work? |
2580 | Why so much ceremony in shortening the days of wretches whom the people have already condemned?" |
2580 | Why then, from this point of view, should the State scruple about prescribing some of these to me and forbidding others? |

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 often hear that voice?'' |
16933 | ''Did you then wear a sword?'' |
16933 | ''Did your voice tell you so?'' |
16933 | ''Did your voices cause you to make that sortie, and not tell you the manner by which you would be captured?'' |
16933 | ''Did your voices urge you to resist giving way about the recantation?'' |
16933 | ''Do they always appear to you in the same dress? |
16933 | ''Do they wear ear- rings?'' |
16933 | ''Do your voices inspire this advice?'' |
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 | ''Had you then consulted your voices to know whether you should accord them that delay or not?'' |
16933 | ''Have you anything to complain about?'' |
16933 | ''Have you not good hope in God''s mercy?'' |

16933 | ''How did you know there was a sword there?'' |
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 | ''Was it on a feast day?'' |
16933 | ''Were the bells of the church rung on the occasion of your arrival?'' |
16933 | ''Were you wearing that sword,''asked Beaupère,''when you were captured?'' |
16933 | ''Were you wounded?'' |
16933 | ''What benediction did you bestow on that sword?'' |
16933 | ''What did you attempt to do against Paris?'' |
16933 | ''What do you ask of it?'' |
16933 | ''What had become of the Fierbois sword?'' |
16933 | ''What is your name?'' |
16933 | ''What kind of horse were you riding when you were captured?'' |
16933 | ''What sort of voices were theirs?'' |
16933 | ''What was Saint Michel like? |
16933 | ''What were these revelations?'' |
16933 | ''What were you doing,''asked Beaupère,''when the voices called you?'' |
16933 | ''What,''asks M. Wallon,''had her accusers to reproach her with? |
16933 | ''What,''next asked Beaupère,''what did you think this voice which manifested itself to you sounded like?'' |
16933 | ''When did you first hear the voices?'' |
16933 | ''When were you wounded?'' |
16933 | ''When you arrived at Compiègne did many days elapse before you made the sortie?'' |
16933 | ''When you came to the King,''she was asked,''did he not inquire if your change in dress was owing to a revelation or not?'' |
16933 | ''When you made the sally did you pass over the bridge at Compiègne?'' |
16933 | ''Which were you fondest of?'' |
16933 | ''Who bore your flag?'' |
16933 | ''Who had given you that horse?'' |

37344 | Another, a little perplexed on the subject of unity, asked,"What is the catholic church?" |
37344 | At his first visits, early in the morning, he used to ask the servants,"Où en sommes nous? |

37344 | I addressed him in a hurried manner:--"Is my son to take the bark, since he is vomiting?" |
37344 | I said to M. Breugne,"What am I to do? |
37344 | I said,"Madame, you bring us good news from your campagne?" |
37344 | I saw no light, and asked,"Where?" |

37344 | In war, in politics, in civil contracts, in common life, men universally thus express themselves; and why not in religion? |
37344 | It 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? |

37344 | M. Breugne said,"Puisqu''il vomit? |

37344 | Notwithstanding 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?" |
37344 | Other indications he gave, that he thought his end to be near: he said to me, with a pensive and composed look,--"Monument? |
37344 | St. John Chrysostom, who lived in the fourth age, preached on this subject like a catholic doctor of the present day."--"Really? |

37344 | The next morning, Antoine asked Roche on his first visit,"Is M. Kenelm worse, Sir? |

37344 | There 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? |

6301 | What should have been done? |
6301 | What the ministers have attempted and what the privileged classes propose in favor of the Third Estate? |
6301 | What was the great book whose history was so full of vicissitudes? |
6301 | What were the duties of her office and how did she fulfill them? |
6301 | What, then, is the Third Estate? |
6301 | What, then, should they learn? |
6301 | What, then, were the dangers threatening France? |
6301 | What, then, were the exact conditions of the compact? |
6301 | When we were alone:` What is the meaning, my dear Viscount,''said I,` of so early a visit and so grave a beginning? |
6301 | Where there is no love, what is the use of beauty? |
6301 | Who has robbed me of my property? |
6301 | Who has taken my beans?'' |
6301 | Why did the French government, the church, and the literary world so excite themselves about a dictionary? |
6301 | Why should a few men be allowed to rule a great multitude as deserving as themselves? |
6301 | Why should the mass of mankind lead lives full of labor and sorrow? |
6301 | Why should we abandon our child to mercenary nurses when we have milk to give him? |
6301 | Will you tell me the motive which has impelled you to make me read a libel for the first time in my life? |
6301 | Would you be kind enough to tell me if the report be true, and what is the name of the lady?" |
6301 | Would you have had the whole of it thrown out of the window on account of those two ragouts?'' |
6301 | Would you rob us of so happy a distinction? |
6301 | ` Have you confiscated this store- house of all useful things in order to own it alone, and to be the only wise man in your kingdom?'' |
6301 | ` Oh, what has become of my labor, my work, the sweet fruit of my care and of my sweat? |
43844 | A sort of living frontier? |
43844 | And Basque,said I,"you speak that also?" |
43844 | And do you say it? |
43844 | And how do your witches work? |
43844 | And it runs both ways along the ridge of the hill? |
43844 | And now,said the old gentleman, the poodle''s proprietor and instructor,"what does Madame Tetard do when Monsieur Tetard comes home late?" |
43844 | And so they all sleep here together? |
43844 | And what does he grow there? |
43844 | And what is your request? |
43844 | And why have n''t you? |
43844 | And you speak Spanish, too? |
43844 | Are there any young women witches? |
43844 | Are you mad, duke? |
43844 | As ours in England used to do-- by spell and charm? |
43844 | But do the Pyrenean wolves ever attack men? |
43844 | But if there come rain? |
43844 | But was not the experiment ever tried? |
43844 | But where is the inn? |
43844 | Could 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? |
43844 | He sails to- day-- so; and the maiden''s name-- your niece''s name-- what is that? |
43844 | I can have a room? |
43844 | I suppose you are speaking Bearne? |
43844 | I suppose,I said to the clerk who showed me the works,"you have had many offers for that dog?" |
43844 | Is it not beautiful? |
43844 | Is there not the summer of St. John to come yet? |
43844 | Lady,said she to the Lady of Bearne,"did you ever see your father?" |
43844 | Monsieur,he said,"is an artist, or a poet?" |
43844 | Niniche,said the patriarch,"what does Monsieur Tetard do when he comes home late?" |
43844 | Or was it not,I asked, with hazy reminiscences of Juvenal floating about me,--"was it not a certain sewer-- the Cloaca Maxima, perhaps?" |
43844 | Rather unruly, I should suppose? |
43844 | That is a beautiful scarf,I said to the girl next me;"how much will they give you for making it?" |
43844 | The Landes people have, or had, other queer notions, as well as the witch ones? |
43844 | Tohua- Cohoa,he said;"it has a_ sacré tonnerre_ of a barbarous sound; has it any meaning?" |
43844 | Was water made to weave cloth? |
43844 | Well, and if you are, what then, eh? 43844 Well, now, did they ever do any harm to you?" |
43844 | What do you do with them? |
43844 | What do you think of that? |
43844 | What harvest? 43844 What made him think so?" |
43844 | Who are you? |
43844 | Why so? 43844 Why so?" |
43844 | Will you pay me?--ay or no? |
43844 | You mean the Mediterranean? |
43844 | Your 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?'' |
43844 | Ah, well, what is this poor unhappy world coming to?" |
43844 | And meantime what was Jaques Fort doing in his new ship? |
43844 | And, after all, what could be expected? |
43844 | And, even if they were emblems, was not the point at issue the best gift-- not the best allegorical symbol? |
43844 | As 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?" |
43844 | As Quin used to say,"Anybody drink port? |
43844 | As we talked, he inquired whether I were not a foreigner-- an Englishman-- and, with some hesitation, but with great eagerness-- a Protestant? |
43844 | But what claim has it to beauty? |
43844 | But who-- our friends the Russians, and their cousins the Esquimaux excepted-- could possibly be jolly over the idea of oil? |
43844 | Can you see a valley or a ravine just over the olive there? |
43844 | Could I believe my eyes? |
43844 | Could it set without a sub- prefect? |
43844 | Could the planets shine on France unless they were furnished with passports for the firmament? |
43844 | Could the rain on France unless each drop came armed with the_ visé_ of some wonderful bureau or other? |
43844 | Could the sun rise without a prefect? |
43844 | Did you ever see such odd fish? |
43844 | Do you know the meaning of Masdeu? |
43844 | Do you wish sweet liqueur wines from Italy and the Levant? |
43844 | Do you wish to make new Claret old? |
43844 | How comes this? |
43844 | However-- were there many handloom weavers like himself in England? |
43844 | I asked again, then, how the poor people remained in such a hot- bed of pestilence? |
43844 | I was not a native of this part of France? |
43844 | Learn 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? |
43844 | No? |
43844 | Not a native of France at all? |
43844 | Now, I would put this question to Olympus:--How could the olive or the horse be emblems before they were created? |
43844 | Now, what must be the common sense of a country which permits, for one instant, the continuance of this wretched little tyrannical humbug? |
43844 | Of course I knew her? |
43844 | Our wine-- bah!--what is it? |
43844 | Perhaps from across the sea? |
43844 | The Baron Armand turned to Klosso:"Does he speak truth?" |
43844 | The Breton, who shot extraordinary well with a cross- bow, says to him,''Would you like to have that porter killed at a shot?'' |
43844 | The diligences had stopped running for the season; but what of that? |
43844 | The people of Nismes and Montpellier were afraid of the fever; and even if they were not, why should they come there? |
43844 | Then I came from some place far away? |
43844 | Then recovering himself, he inquired triumphantly whether I meant to say that the process of grinding corn was like the process of weaving cloth? |
43844 | Then the cavalier, trembling with anxiety, exclaimed:"What fountain is this?" |
43844 | Then why did not the farmers use spade- husbandry? |
43844 | Was the house shut up? |
43844 | Well, then, how could the vintage begin until the people, who know nothing about the vintage, command it? |
43844 | Were they not all French?--all the children of a king of France? |
43844 | What could they find to occupy them among these drear pine- woods? |
43844 | What harvest?" |
43844 | What should the tide of progress or of improvement do in these deserts of pine and sand? |
43844 | What 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? |
43844 | What was one to do? |
43844 | What would France be without_ les autorités_? |
43844 | Where have you seen such a landscape before? |
43844 | Where, indeed, in France will you not? |
43844 | Who built these gloriously fretted Gothic towers, rising high into the air, and sentinelled by so many minor steeples? |
43844 | Who could resist this last attraction? |
43844 | Who was the doughty warrior, thus resting in his mail? |
43844 | Who will give us francs? |
43844 | Who would have the heart to prescribe cold political economy in such a case? |
43844 | cried the baron;"but who is the rascal with her?" |
43844 | did they weave by water- power there, too? |
43844 | said Armand;"you come without being called?" |
43844 | said he of Bordeaux;"you do n''t expect to find French in this chaos? |
43844 | said the baron;"and to whom?" |
43844 | were the folks as bad as some of the people in his country? |
43844 | what is that?" |
43844 | what see I?" |
45743 | And who is your Lord? |
45743 | Are you the Bastard of Orleans? |
45743 | Did you not send for me? |
45743 | Do you believe all this, gentle Dauphin? |
45743 | Do you believe in God? |
45743 | Do you believe that,_ after this revelation_, you could not sin mortally? |
45743 | Do you not know,asked the girl,"the saying that France is to be made desolate by a woman and restored by a Maid?" |
45743 | Gentle Dauphin,she said to him one day,"why do you not believe me? |
45743 | How can we pass through the armies of England and Burgundy? |
45743 | How now, priest? 45743 How? |
45743 | I have never sat a horse; how should I lead an army? |
45743 | If you dress as you do by God''s command,they asked her,"why do you ask for a shift in the hour of death?" |
45743 | Is 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?" |
45743 | Joan,said the archbishop,"is it known to you when you will die, and at what place?" |
45743 | Miserable boy,she cried;"the blood of France is shedding, and you do not call me? |
45743 | My child,he asked,"are you come hither to raise the siege?" |
45743 | Now,said the Maid,"look well, and tell me; are their faces set toward us?" |
45743 | Rascal,he said,"how dare you let that excommunicate wretch come so near the church? |
45743 | Then 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? |
45743 | To Poitiers? |
45743 | Was 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? |
45743 | What brought you to the King? |
45743 | What does she want? 45743 What language does the Voice speak?" |
45743 | What woman is this? |
45743 | What,he asked her,"would you think of a knight in your king''s land who refused to obey your king and his officers? |
45743 | Who is this? |
45743 | Will 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? |
45743 | A miracle? |
45743 | A shining quartz pebble, shall we say? |
45743 | After all, what more simple than to find out whether this counsel was of God or the devil? |
45743 | Alençon 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? |
45743 | Alençon was loyal to the core; how could he disobey his sovereign? |
45743 | Allies? |
45743 | Appear before King and Parliament to receive his just doom? |
45743 | Are we then to turn our backs?" |
45743 | Are you going to make us dine here?" |
45743 | Basque, is this what you promised me?" |
45743 | CHAPTER VIII RECOGNITION Sera- elle point jamais trouvée Celle qui ayme Louyaulté? |
45743 | Coronation at Rheims? |
45743 | Could it be? |
45743 | D''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?" |
45743 | Did she, they asked, feel assurance of salvation? |
45743 | Do you not know that I promised your wife to bring you back safe and sound, better than when you left?" |
45743 | France in the fifteenth century: what was it like? |
45743 | France? |
45743 | Friends then? |
45743 | Give way, without battle, to a girl? |
45743 | Had he not bidden them sow beans in vast quantities in case of emergency? |
45743 | Had not Brother Richard, the Cordelier friar, warned them against this Maid, saying that she was, or might be, a female Antichrist? |
45743 | Had they heard the prophecy that a Maid should be born in the neighborhood, who should do great deeds? |
45743 | Have you felt the touch of fire? |
45743 | How should she ply her needle, when the sword was waiting for her hand? |
45743 | How should she sit to spin, with saints and angels calling in her ear? |
45743 | How then? |
45743 | How, people asked, if here were a new revelation? |
45743 | If my lord would call in, for example, those who dealt in magic----? |
45743 | If so, was it a miracle, as people thought then, the robbers held with invisible bonds, unable to stir hand or foot? |
45743 | If 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? |
45743 | Is it a true tale? |
45743 | Is not this perhaps the most wonderful part of all the heroic story? |
45743 | It was ill- done of Father Fournier, she said afterward; had he not heard her fully in confession? |
45743 | Joan had heard rumors of all this; but what was a baby princess three hundred leagues away? |
45743 | Margaret?" |
45743 | Must the King be walked out of his kingdom, and must we all be English?" |
45743 | Must the city of Clovis bow like him, taking on new vows and forswearing old? |
45743 | On came La Hire and his eighty cavaliers, dashing across the open, crashing through the woods, who so merry as they? |
45743 | Our Maid was at Monlieu that very November; she may have met St. Colette, and talked with her of matters human and divine; who knows? |
45743 | Seeing her in her red peasant- dress, he stopped and said,"_ Ma mie_, what are you doing here? |
45743 | Sera- elle point jamais trouvée Celle qui ayme Louyaulté? |
45743 | Sera- elle point jamais trouvée? |
45743 | Seras- tu ma maison? |
45743 | Shalt thou be my( last) home? |
45743 | She may even have worn it-- who knows? |
45743 | Should they storm the fortress, or proceed by slower methods? |
45743 | Since all else had failed, why not let the Maid prove her Voices to be of God? |
45743 | Son of a mad father and a bad mother, was he indeed the rightful heir? |
45743 | The Duke related his symptoms and asked for advice; hinted that perhaps a little miracle, even, might be performed? |
45743 | The Maid, Alençon, Dunois, Xaintrailles-- where was La Hire? |
45743 | The cruel toil, the bloodshed and the glory-- was all to be for naught? |
45743 | The day was lost? |
45743 | The discovery was made in time, but who could tell what new dangers might await them? |
45743 | The 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? |
45743 | Then the guest might ask, was not this the country of the Oak Wood,"_ le Bois Chesnu_?" |
45743 | Torn by factions, weakened by loss of blood, ridden first by one furious free- booter and then another, what chance had she? |
45743 | Was Heaven, after all, on the side of France? |
45743 | Was he after all the rightful heir? |
45743 | Was it the sight of her? |
45743 | Was it true that after her fall she had blasphemed God and her saints? |
45743 | Was one of them the quaint ditty whose opening lines head this chapter? |
45743 | Was the breach definitely practicable? |
45743 | What awaited the Maid in"white Chinon by the blue Vienne?" |
45743 | What did she mean about help from Scotland? |
45743 | What in return would they make of the slim rider in battered armor, urging her horse to the gallop? |
45743 | What to do, with affairs in general, with the Maid in particular? |
45743 | What to do? |
45743 | What was a holy city to do? |
45743 | What would she make, I wonder, of those two lovely ladies, her of the shoulders and her of the silken tresses? |
45743 | Where La Hire, Xaintrailles? |
45743 | Where her friend and brother- in- arms, the gentle duke of Alençon? |
45743 | Who is she that cometh in bloody coronation robes from Rheims? |
45743 | Who is she that cometh with blackened flesh from walking the furnaces of Rouen? |
45743 | Who is this that cometh from Domrémy? |
45743 | Who knows from what far Druid time came the custom of dancing around its huge trunk and hanging garlands on its gnarled boughs? |
45743 | Who shall read this riddle? |
45743 | Who wanted to save the kingdom? |
45743 | Who would pay most for her? |
45743 | Why not get up an expedition against these two places, and send the Maid in charge? |
45743 | Would Joan of Arc submit to Holy Church, or would she burn, now, in an hour''s time? |
45743 | Would she abjure, or burn? |
45743 | Yes; 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? |
45743 | adore----"was St. Remy speaking again in the person of this peasant maid? |
45743 | gentle Duke,"she added, with the pretty touch of raillery that was all her own;"are you afraid? |
45743 | where was Dunois? |
2553 | Ah, Sieur Pierre,she said to Morice,"where shall I be to- night?" |
2553 | And who is your Seigneur? |
2553 | Are you a knight? |
2553 | Are you noble? |
2553 | Are you the Bastard of Orleans? |
2553 | Did you know by revelation that you should break prison? |
2553 | Did you never hear that France should be made desolate by a woman and restored by a maid? |
2553 | Do they think themselves immortal? |
2553 | Do you believe,he said,"that this is the body of Christ?" |
2553 | Have you not good faith in the Lord? |
2553 | How,she cried,"could God let them perish who had been so good and loyal to their King?" |
2553 | If we shall say: From heaven, he will say, Why then believed ye him not? 2553 Is it you who have had me led to this side of the river and not to the bank on which Talbot is and his English?" |
2553 | Is the King to be driven out of the kingdom, and are we all to be made English? |
2553 | Jeanne, why will you die? 2553 Jeanne,"he said,"in what place do you expect to die?" |
2553 | Noble Dauphin,she cried,"why should you hold such long and tedious councils? |
2553 | Shall I be believed if I speak? |
2553 | Shall I be believed? |
2553 | The blood of our soldiers is flowing,she said;"why did they not tell me? |
2553 | What are you doing here,_ ma mie_? |
2553 | What is this Council of Bâle? |
2553 | What would you say,she answered as with a momentary doubt,"if I had sworn to my King never to change?" |
2553 | When will you go? |
2553 | Which way are their heads turned? |
2553 | Will you swear to answer truly all that concerns the faith, and that you know? |
2553 | ( it is difficult to translate the words, for_ brave_ means more than brave)--"why was she not English?" |
2553 | A hoarse cry burst forth:"Will you keep us here all day; must we dine here?" |
2553 | And Alençon, Dunois, La Hire, where were they and all the knights? |
2553 | And Jeanne herself, the one strange figure that nobody understood; was she a witch? |
2553 | And if her own party did not stir on her behalf, why should he? |
2553 | Are you afraid? |
2553 | As for the appeal of Jeanne, what was the letter of that mad creature to a prince and statesman? |
2553 | Asked, if St. Margaret did not speak English, answered:"How could she speak English when she was not on the English side?" |
2553 | Asked, if he had hair, she answered,"Why should it have been cut?" |
2553 | Asked, if he was naked, she answered,"Do you think God has nothing to clothe him with?" |
2553 | Asked, 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? |
2553 | Asked, if she had said to St. Catherine and St. Margaret,"Will God leave the good people of Compiègne to die so cruelly?" |
2553 | Asked, if the angel had not failed her; answered,"How could he have failed me, when he comforts me every day?" |
2553 | Asked, in what place this mandrake was, and what she had heard of it? |
2553 | Asked, to whom she promised? |
2553 | Asked, what was that danger? |
2553 | Asked, 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?" |
2553 | At least it would appear that Charles thought so: for how should this peasant maid know the secret fear that had gnawed at his heart? |
2553 | At the end of so long and bitter a struggle she had thrown down her arms-- but for what? |
2553 | Could any one stand and answer like that hour after hour and day by day, inspired only by the devil? |
2553 | Could it indeed be saints and angels who ordained a step which was outside of all the habits and first duties of nature? |
2553 | Could no one go on? |
2553 | Could she still trust them? |
2553 | Did she kneel and thank them? |
2553 | Did the Inquisitor break down here? |
2553 | Did the Maid mean that her work was over, and her divine mission fulfilled? |
2553 | Did this in Cæsar seem ambitious? |
2553 | Did you observe how she hesitated on this? |
2553 | Go to Rheims to be crowned? |
2553 | God''s promises are great, but where is the fulfilment? |
2553 | Had he any right to that sustaining confidence which would have borne up his heart in the midst of every discouragement? |
2553 | Had it failed? |
2553 | Had she proclaimed a promise from St. Catherine, of victory? |
2553 | Had she refused, might it not have been alleged against her that after all her impatience it was she who was the cause of delay? |
2553 | Had 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? |
2553 | Had 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? |
2553 | He asked her, a question equally unnecessary,"do you believe in God?" |
2553 | He had been long a prisoner in England, and had lately been ransomed for a great sum of money;"Was not that a sufficient sacrifice?" |
2553 | He was a prisoner of war: what was it the Maid''s duty to do? |
2553 | How 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? |
2553 | How should there have been in that partisan province, more English than French? |
2553 | If she had broken out into open rebellion who would have followed her? |
2553 | In 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? |
2553 | Is it here truly that I must die?" |
2553 | It had no doubt been hard for her to leave her father''s house; but after that disruption what did anything matter? |
2553 | It was all ready; and where then was the great victory, the deliverance in which she had believed? |
2553 | Jeanne had relapsed; the sinner escaped had been re- caught; and what was now to be done? |
2553 | Jeanne, will you not save yourself?" |
2553 | Monseigneur 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? |
2553 | No 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? |
2553 | One man most reasonably asked why she should be put to torture when they had ample material for judgment without it? |
2553 | Or 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? |
2553 | Robert then asked her who was this Lord? |
2553 | She called specially-- was it with still a return towards the hoped for miracle? |
2553 | She cried, weeping and helpless, terrified to the bottom of her soul-- What was she that she should do this? |
2553 | She was then asked how they were dressed? |
2553 | She was then asked what she had done with her mandragora( mandrake)? |
2553 | She 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? |
2553 | She 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? |
2553 | Should the army march by, taking no notice of it and so get all the sooner to Rheims? |
2553 | The only question was, Was it Heaven in this instance? |
2553 | The place of sacrifice was ready, everything arranged-- for whom? |
2553 | The saints? |
2553 | Then this brother said to Jeanne:"Do you believe as fully in your voices?" |
2553 | They bade her be strong and of good courage: is not that the all- sustaining, all- delusive message for every martyr? |
2553 | They were now her familiar friends guiding her at every step; and what was the commonplace burly Seigneur, with his roar of laughter, to Jeanne? |
2553 | This is what she said; does that look like a deceiver? |
2553 | This man asked him:"What do you think of her answers? |
2553 | To 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? |
2553 | To this she answered quietly,"Are there two?" |
2553 | To wait for fifteen days and receive the prize without a blow struck, would not that be best? |
2553 | Was he indeed the heir of France? |
2553 | Was 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? |
2553 | Was it not rather the evil one? |
2553 | Was it only a perception, too late, of the danger? |
2553 | Was it possible that she had been deceived and really hoped for mercy? |
2553 | Was it sorcery and witchcraft, or was it the agency of God? |
2553 | Was 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? |
2553 | Was it treachery? |
2553 | Was it true that this standard had been carried into the Cathedral at Rheims when those of the other captains were left behind? |
2553 | Was 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? |
2553 | Was she a witch, as had been thought? |
2553 | Was she afraid of being wounded; or was she assured that she would not be wounded? |
2553 | Was she an angelic messenger? |
2553 | Was that what the voices had called deliverance? |
2553 | Was there no meaning in them? |
2553 | Was this all that she believed herself to be appointed to do? |
2553 | Was this the keenest irony, or was it the wandering of a weary mind? |
2553 | Were her first triumphs accidents merely, were her"voices"delusions, had she been given up by Heaven, of which she had called herself the servant? |
2553 | Were the men- at- arms perhaps less amenable? |
2553 | Were they mere unaccountable delusions, deceptions of the senses, inspirations perhaps of mere genius-- not from God at all except in a secondary way? |
2553 | Were they whispering to each other that Jeanne had promised them Paris yesterday, and for the first time had not kept her word? |
2553 | What did that mean? |
2553 | What did the voice say? |
2553 | What did they mean? |
2553 | What else could it mean? |
2553 | What he said was spoken with authority and he came in all seriousness, may not we believe in some kindness too? |
2553 | What her visions and her voices were, who can say? |
2553 | What is there indeed the same in the two ages? |
2553 | What more could an archangel, what less could the peasant mother within doors, say? |
2553 | What she had changed her dress again? |
2553 | What was he to do? |
2553 | What will happen?" |
2553 | What would happen? |
2553 | When Alençon asked Jeanne what was to be the issue of the fight, she said calmly,"Have you good spurs?" |
2553 | Where was Dunois? |
2553 | Where 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? |
2553 | Where was La Hire? |
2553 | Where was she to be taken? |
2553 | Where was young Guy de Laval, so ready to sell his lands that his men might be fit for service? |
2553 | Who can answer so dreadful a suggestion? |
2553 | Who can tell? |
2553 | Who could have kept the girl so cool, so dauntless, so embarrassing in her straight- forwardness and sincerity? |
2553 | Why should she be so determined to resist her only chance of safety? |
2553 | Will she be burned? |
2553 | Without this form the execution was illegal: what did it matter? |
2553 | Would she be burned? |
2553 | Would you have me speak against myself?" |
2553 | You mean we shall turn our backs on our enemies?" |
2553 | could the devils inspire that steadfastness, that constancy and quiet? |
2553 | for her? |
2553 | had all the signs come to nothing, all those divine words and ways, to our minds so much more wonderful than any miracles? |
2553 | or did she expect, as she sometimes said, to_ bouter_ the English out of France altogether? |
2553 | or should they pause first, to try their fortune against those solid walls? |
2553 | or was it mere human incompetence to feel the divine touch? |
2553 | or was it not rather the angels, the saints as she said? |
2553 | or was it possible----? |
2553 | she said;"am I to die here?" |
2553 | was not she indeed the messenger of God? |
2553 | was that the grand victory, the aid of the Lord? |
2553 | what did they mean? |
2553 | when were they coming? |
2553 | would it not be better to say anything, to give up anything rather than be burned at the stake? |
8575 | And the Empress, who hates us? |
8575 | But Count Metternich? |
8575 | But the Emperor? |
8575 | Do 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? |
8575 | Do you think Humboldt will soon finish the account of his travels? 8575 Does the Emperor like music?" |
8575 | Gentlemen,he broke out,"why are you not in sacerdotal garments? |
8575 | Have you any message for your father? |
8575 | Shall 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?" |
8575 | What should I do,he asked,"at the house of Louis Philippe''s ambassador? |
8575 | What? 8575 Where are the cardinals?" |
8575 | Where were you when I came in? |
8575 | Who says that we did n''t want to? |
8575 | ''But what have you done to Madame Lazansky?'' |
8575 | ''What did the Empress say yesterday?'' |
8575 | And as for this Palace of Saint Cloud, so brilliant and radiant, what was to become of it? |
8575 | And did she not do all that could be demanded of her as regent? |
8575 | And the boy answered,"But sha n''t I have a sword to beat down the bayonets?" |
8575 | Are they wrong?" |
8575 | Are you attorneys, notaries, or physicians? |
8575 | Besides, was it not her duty, on entering France, to give up everything that came from her former home? |
8575 | But for Napoleon, who was so adored in the day of triumph, how was he treated in adversity? |
8575 | But might not there arrive the next moment a courier from Saint Petersburg, bringing a definite answer from the Czar? |
8575 | But what difference could a simple shower make to a people accustomed to streams of blood? |
8575 | But who at the beginning of that fatal year, 1812, could have foretold the catastrophes which were so near? |
8575 | But who gave him any such power? |
8575 | But would Napoleon have a son? |
8575 | But would she have dared to give even one word of advice to her powerful husband? |
8575 | Can 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? |
8575 | Could a woman of twenty- two be strong enough to withstand the tempest? |
8575 | Could 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? |
8575 | Could he even rely on his own subjects? |
8575 | Could 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? |
8575 | Could that gorgeous state carriage drive from her mind the memory of the martyred queen''s tumbrel? |
8575 | Could the absence of the thirteen cardinals have been enough to mar this magnificent ceremony? |
8575 | Did he make any pretence of concealing his intention to overthrow every throne, and to make himself the oldest sovereign? |
8575 | Did not the marshals of the Empire now serve as an escort to Louis XVIII.? |
8575 | Did the dethroned Empress carry away with her a pleasant memory of France and the French people? |
8575 | Did you ever see feet like those?" |
8575 | Do n''t you appear in public every day? |
8575 | Do they see in me any justification for the caricatures which are forever presenting me as a creature of the feeblest intelligence?" |
8575 | Do you imagine that monarchs''marriages are matters of sentiment? |
8575 | Does not this simple statement suffice to show in what esteem the German sovereign held France and the French character? |
8575 | Has not his government exiled and outlawed me? |
8575 | Has she been laughing or crying? |
8575 | Has the Empress been abusing me? |
8575 | I have another throne for him; and as for you, I shall treat you as a conquered country"? |
8575 | If at times a swift and sombre anticipation of evil crowned his mind, what was that presentiment by the side of the terrible reality? |
8575 | If 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? |
8575 | In short, what did Marie Louise lack in the beginning of 1812? |
8575 | Is anything less like a brilliant spring day than a gloomy winter''s day? |
8575 | Is it because a Roman priest has excommunicated me? |
8575 | Is it possible that you are too blind to see that every peace, easy or hard, is nothing more than a brief truce? |
8575 | Is that all? |
8575 | Is that your usual way?'' |
8575 | It would be possible? |
8575 | Let Napoleon suffer but a single defeat, and then on which one of his vassals would he be able to count? |
8575 | May I ask what may be counted on in regard of your sister? |
8575 | Might not this young German be the forerunner of numberless volunteers who were about to organize against France what they would consider a holy war? |
8575 | Might she not have added,"So long as you are not unfortunate"? |
8575 | Mythology, too, was called in:--"Do you see the leopard, weary of carnage, Sated with blood, towards his savage lair Run roaring? |
8575 | No one there could see me without blushing; and then, too, what would my feelings be?" |
8575 | She had been promised wealth, grandeur, power; but do those constitute happiness? |
8575 | The Archduchess listened with her usual calmness, and, after a moment''s reflection, asked him,"What are my father''s wishes?" |
8575 | This ball, followed by a horrid catastrophe, this grand drawing- room, vanishing in flames, were they not omens of evil? |
8575 | Was not flight a duty for the hapless sovereign? |
8575 | Was not the great empire to perish in the same way? |
8575 | Was not the whole of Germany ready for the fray? |
8575 | Was not this a sign of the times? |
8575 | We 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? |
8575 | Were her hands strong enough to rebuild the colossal edifice that lay in ruins upon the ground? |
8575 | Were not Russia and Prussia as desirous as Austria of revenge? |
8575 | Were not the Cossacks who went to Blois after the Empress rapturously applauded by the French, in Paris itself, upon the very boulevards? |
8575 | Were there not already in his overgrown Empire many germs of decay and death? |
8575 | What could there have been under the Empire to compare with the affair of the necklace? |
8575 | What did they do to save the crown of the King of Rome, whose cradle they had saluted with such noisy acclamations? |
8575 | What glory or greatness can wipe out the touching memories of infancy? |
8575 | What had become of the unhappy mother? |
8575 | What had happened? |
8575 | What was the language of the Senate, lately so obsequious and servile? |
8575 | What were the real feelings of these princes, who were so obsequious to Napoleon? |
8575 | What would the conqueror have said if, in the misty future, he had seen anything of his own fate? |
8575 | When Napoleon came back, laughing, he said,''Well, have you had a good talk? |
8575 | When 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?''" |
8575 | Whence came these tardy scruples, this unexpected delay? |
8575 | Where were the eagles, the flags, and the tricolored cockades? |
8575 | Who could have come at that hour? |
8575 | Who could have foreseen that this unknown general would one day be Marie Louise''s consort, Napoleon''s successor? |
8575 | Who except the Emperor? |
8575 | Who has the power to release subjects from their oath of allegiance to the legally appointed ruler? |
8575 | Who knows, indeed, but what she dreaded the same fate for herself, in case she should bear no children? |
8575 | Who would have dared to treat Napoleon''s wife as the Cardinal de Rohan treated the wife of Louis XVI.? |
8575 | Who, when he hears that some apparently healthy person has dropped dead, is not astonished? |
8575 | Why did n''t_ you_ do it?" |
8575 | Why was he not wise enough to stop and give thanks to Providence, instead of continuing his perilous course and forever tempting fortune? |
8575 | Would Heaven crown his unexampled prosperity with this new favor? |
8575 | Would Napoleon, impatient as he was and unused to delay-- would he accept the slightest postponement on the part of Austria? |
8575 | Would she be brave enough, could she indeed remain in Paris without disobeying Napoleon? |
8575 | You may think so; but the Ambassador?" |
8575 | at the moment when that descendant of Saint Louis essayed to speak a few last words to his people? |
8575 | that for a long time we are hastening to one conclusion, of which peace is but one of the stations? |
8575 | the Emperor went on,''Why is she sent back? |
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?" |
32343 | And how long, think you, did Dumas stay in his new domicile? 32343 And what did the king reply?" |
32343 | Are you an archæologist? |
32343 | Are you quite sure, monsieur, about your sounds? |
32343 | But how? |
32343 | But what can I do? |
32343 | But why to- morrow? |
32343 | C''est tout à fait comme Napoléon et Jomini, mon cher Vernet,said Laurent- Jan;"mais, après tout, qu''est que cela vous fait? |
32343 | Ca n''t you see? 32343 Can you do with a nice lot of narrow silk ribbon?" |
32343 | Comment, au régiment du Gymnase? |
32343 | Countermanded? 32343 Did you get your sleep?" |
32343 | Did you go and hear that music, at the Théâtre de Madame? |
32343 | Do you know the original? |
32343 | Do you really think that was his own invention? |
32343 | Do you think he was the concierge or le commissionnaire du coin? |
32343 | Grand Dieu,exclaimed Gozlan,"pourquoi lui a- t- on donné cette croix?" |
32343 | Has he ever told you why he did not re- engage me? |
32343 | Have you ever tried the experiment on a living animal? |
32343 | Have you finished, monsieur le maréchal? |
32343 | How did they find me out here? |
32343 | How does he spend his money? |
32343 | How much do you really want? |
32343 | How much for the rabbit? |
32343 | How much for? |
32343 | I am very sorry for your mishap,I said;"but what, in Heaven''s name, induced you to meddle with politics?" |
32343 | If we gave you fifty thousand francs,says M. Émile Pereire,"would you give us some breathing- time?" |
32343 | Is monsieur at home? |
32343 | Is that a fact? |
32343 | Is that all you want with me? |
32343 | Ma femme, es- tu contente de moi? |
32343 | Mais, monsieur,says one,"maintenant que nous avons du beurre, veuillez nous dire d''où viendront nos épinards? |
32343 | Mais, on est mère, ou on ne l''est pas? |
32343 | Monsieur,he said,"will you allow me to ask you a question?" |
32343 | Now that you speak of it, they are playing''Les Huguenots''to- night,replied Lord----;"but what has that to do with it? |
32343 | Now would you like to hear what happened after the performance? |
32343 | Of course he does-- they all do,was the answer;"mais ça n''empêche pas les sentiments, does it?" |
32343 | Perfectly, mademoiselle,replied the comte;"but you will send me back my carriage, wo n''t you?" |
32343 | Pourquoi pas, mon Dieu? |
32343 | Qu''est que cela me fait, à moi? 32343 Quels sont ces citoyens?" |
32343 | So you have been sitting here for the last four hours, twirling your thumbs? |
32343 | Stage boxes on the first tier? |
32343 | Stage boxes? |
32343 | Suppose we repeat the thing to- morrow? |
32343 | That persuaded you? |
32343 | The fault of whom? |
32343 | The galleries and amphitheatre? |
32343 | The open boxes on the ground floor? |
32343 | Then why did not you ask for an audience? 32343 Third circle?" |
32343 | To distrain? 32343 Upper circle?" |
32343 | Vous ne savez pas? |
32343 | Was it the idea of losing the magnificent fee? |
32343 | Well, how much are you going to take off? |
32343 | What are you doing, Monsieur Lapierre? |
32343 | What are you doing? |
32343 | What are you going to do with your son? |
32343 | What are you sitting there for like that? |
32343 | What are you standing there for, Giovanni? |
32343 | What colour? |
32343 | What do you mean? |
32343 | What do you mean? |
32343 | What do you think the King has done now? |
32343 | What had he done with her? |
32343 | What has become of him? 32343 What have you to say, monsieur?" |
32343 | What induced you to do this, monsieur le comte? |
32343 | What is it you want with me? |
32343 | What made you give in at last? |
32343 | What made you go away? |
32343 | What will you play? |
32343 | Where did you taste it? |
32343 | Where is the box you had in your hand? 32343 Who do you think Augustus was?" |
32343 | Why does n''t he come and see me? 32343 Why lamentations?"? |
32343 | Why lamentations?? |
32343 | Why, did not your majesty himself notice yesterday that he was dying? |
32343 | Why? |
32343 | Will you allow me to return the compliment, sire? |
32343 | Will you teach them? |
32343 | Yes; why not? |
32343 | You are angry with me, are you not? 32343 You have written a history of Cæsar?" |
32343 | You really mean it, sire? |
32343 | You refused to go and see the Empress, and you rush along to see the Queen? |
32343 | Your 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? |
32343 | And now,''he added,''what can I do for you, citoyen Gil- Pérès? |
32343 | And who could say what might happen? |
32343 | As it is, do you know what happens? |
32343 | At the second, Villevailles, Dumas says,''Have you got twenty francs change?'' |
32343 | But what a hot fiery lot these Dyonnais are, are n''t they?" |
32343 | But what was he to do, seeing that his attempt at introducing a new national hymn had utterly failed? |
32343 | Can you personally vouch for its efficiency?" |
32343 | Can you tell me what mischief is brewing?" |
32343 | Could I do less than order a coat at the tailor''s, a pair of boots at the bootmaker''s?'' |
32343 | De quel côté serez vous, M. de Morny?" |
32343 | Did not he once pay a visit to Jean- Jacques Rousseau without having apprised him of his call? |
32343 | Did the latter lend enchantment to the view? |
32343 | Do not you like it?'' |
32343 | Do you know what his ultimatum was when the marriage had been contracted, when there was no possibility of going back? |
32343 | Do you know what was the result of this determination not to be unjust if others were? |
32343 | Do you know why Jérôme did not fall in with my views and those of M. Thiers? |
32343 | Does M. Thiers really think that he is a better or greater man than Abraham Lincoln, who treated the Southerns as belligerents, not as insurgents?" |
32343 | For, curious to relate, M. de Lamartine ratified his appointment(?) |
32343 | Guizot?" |
32343 | Had not Alfred de Musset, the daring poet of"les grandes passions,"written a play entitled"Il ne faut jurer de rien"? |
32343 | He seemed, as it were, to consult his recollections; then he said,"Is it? |
32343 | I suppose a third or a fourth of the total amount will do for the present?" |
32343 | I wonder whether you''d like to part with it, M. David? |
32343 | If they are to have a dessert, what are we to give to honest women?" |
32343 | Is it a wonder, then, that it rained summonses, and writs, and other law documents? |
32343 | Is it not so, my wife?" |
32343 | Is it possible?'' |
32343 | Is it surprising, then, that with such a prospect facing him, a man should risk death rather than become a pariah? |
32343 | Le dîner était mauvais, vous dîtes? |
32343 | N''y seriez vous jamais allé?" |
32343 | Not once, but a score of times, have I heard Dumas ask, after this or that man had left the table,"Who is he? |
32343 | Now, monsieur, will you tell this gentleman what you have in stock?" |
32343 | One evening she said to me,"Do you know Poirson?" |
32343 | Our friend said much more, notably with regard to rat and horseflesh; and then he wound up:"But what is the good? |
32343 | Paul?" |
32343 | Que l''on m''appelle ivrogne?" |
32343 | So, where is the advantage? |
32343 | The Emperor gave him his cue by asking,"What do the people say?" |
32343 | The curtain rose upon the fourth act, and what did Meyerbeer behold? |
32343 | Then what became of it? |
32343 | There was no need for him to do so, because theoretically it redounded to the lady''s honour; had she not rejected his advances? |
32343 | They say it is the fault of----""The fault of whom?" |
32343 | To some one who once remarked upon this in my hearing, he answered,"Que voulez- vous? |
32343 | Was I right in saying that the Prince was justified in believing in his star?" |
32343 | Was it a performing nose, or one endowed with extraordinary powers of smell? |
32343 | Was it suspicion, or what? |
32343 | Were these events foreseen at the Tuileries as early as May? |
32343 | What am I to do? |
32343 | What did she want to go to Caen for just at the moment when I was about to be born? |
32343 | What do the people say?" |
32343 | What do you mean by such familiarity?" |
32343 | What had happened meanwhile? |
32343 | What had happened, then, during the twenty- four hours immediately following the telegram of M. Franceschini Pietri? |
32343 | What is the next part of the house?" |
32343 | What was it? |
32343 | What 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? |
32343 | What was this colossal nose, with a ridiculously small head and body attached to it? |
32343 | When the news of the prince''s death was brought to him, he said,"Are you sure he is dead?" |
32343 | Whence this difference? |
32343 | Whence this sudden change? |
32343 | Whence would that army be recruited? |
32343 | Where had she got the others from? |
32343 | Whither? |
32343 | Who would leave his child the inheritance of such slavery? |
32343 | Why am I not a little better off? |
32343 | Why should the Greeks have more reverence for Botzaris or Mavrocordato than they had for the poet? |
32343 | Why should we be less courageous and less cheerful than they?" |
32343 | Why were not the trees cut down and transported to Paris, for fuel for the coming winter? |
32343 | Will you kindly supply my place-- that is, keep an eye upon him, and do the best you can for him? |
32343 | Will you mind telling me his name?" |
32343 | You will never forgive me?" |
32343 | and if these three are so little to them, what must I be, whose name they probably never heard? |
32343 | and what have you done with it?" |
32343 | he exclaimed;''how did you come by it?'' |
32343 | or, better still,''Comment vas tu, mon vieux citoyen?''" |
32343 | said Sophie, getting somewhat jealous of this praise of others;"at the Café de Paris?" |
32343 | steeped in such crass ignorance as not to have had an inkling of all this? |
32343 | was the cry;"are there sufficient for us all?" |
32343 | what am I to do? |
32343 | what am I, then?'' |
32343 | what did it contain? |
32343 | what''s his name?" |
32343 | À quand les invitations?" |
9602 | An explanation? |
9602 | And what are your means? |
9602 | And what will follow abdication? |
9602 | And who says,exclaimed Robespierre, sharply,"that an innocent person has been put to death?" |
9602 | And your parcel? |
9602 | Can you think of it, general? |
9602 | Citizen general,said Camus then,"will you obey the decree of the national convention, and repair to Paris?" |
9602 | Do you know citizen Robespierre? |
9602 | Has 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? |
9602 | Monsieur Roederer,said Madame Elizabeth, addressing the recorder,"you answer for the life of the king?" |
9602 | On what business? |
9602 | President of assassins,he cried,"for the last time, will you let me speak?" |
9602 | Shall they be green,he cried,"the colour of hope; or red, the colour of the free order of Cincinnatus?" |
9602 | Well, and what do they want? |
9602 | What could be his motive for attacking you? |
9602 | What did you propose doing with your two knives? |
9602 | What do the people require? |
9602 | What have you done,said he,"with that France which I left so flourishing in your hands? |
9602 | What motive brought you to Robespierre''s? |
9602 | What seek these men,he continued--"what seek these men who call us the successors of Robespierre? |
9602 | What,said Lucien,"do you wish me to pronounce the outlawry of my brother?" |
9602 | Where is that? |
9602 | Where was tyranny organized? |
9602 | Who is this president of the Feuillants,said Merlin de Thionville,"who assumes to dictate to us the law?" |
9602 | You 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? |
9602 | A Spaniard by the grace of God.--Who is the enemy of our happiness? |
9602 | Accordingly 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?" |
9602 | And who has paralysed it? |
9602 | And without, how many spectators could be reckoned drawn thither by truly incomprehensible curiosity? |
9602 | And, whatever the deliberative body might be, was it to be permanent or periodical, and should the king share the legislative power with it? |
9602 | Augereau 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?" |
9602 | But how could he set about it? |
9602 | But should this king have any other will than that of the law? |
9602 | But the legislative assembly? |
9602 | But to whom could he apply? |
9602 | But what should be the form of the deliberative body in future sessions? |
9602 | But what was his design in granting the most influential places to new men, and in separating himself from the committees? |
9602 | But why seek for the language of a faction in what he writes? |
9602 | But, it is asked, why, if the people did not assist in these murders, did they not hinder them? |
9602 | Can we carry our country away on the sole of our shoe?" |
9602 | Citizens, know you what they seek? |
9602 | Cupidity, treason, and ignorance.--Who are the French? |
9602 | Danton turned to one of his friends who had accompanied him, and said, with a bitter smile:"What do you say to this? |
9602 | Did he aspire to the dictatorship? |
9602 | Did it give you the right of sanction, a civil list and so many prerogatives, constitutionally to lose the empire and the constitution? |
9602 | Did it place you at the head of our army for our glory or our shame? |
9602 | Did the constitution leave you the choice of ministers for our happiness or our ruin? |
9602 | Did the people desire the abolition of an oppressive tax? |
9602 | Do you think the republic is definitively established? |
9602 | Do you think to deceive us as to our misfortunes by the art of your excuses? |
9602 | For myself, what faction do I belong to? |
9602 | Former Christians become heretics.--Is it a sin to kill a Frenchman? |
9602 | From sin.--Murat? |
9602 | Has patriotism been better protected? |
9602 | Has the general agitation any other cause than that of the revolutionary movement itself?" |
9602 | Have factions been more timid? |
9602 | Have they not glorified themselves by it? |
9602 | He was asked if he had taken measures to prevent the crowd from arriving at the château? |
9602 | His journal produced a great effect upon public opinion; it inspired some hope and courage: Have you read the_ Vieux Cordelier_? |
9602 | How could the voice of humanity, which had died in this terrible crisis, be heard? |
9602 | How could they have done with just laws what the Mountain effected by violent measures? |
9602 | How many executioners were there within? |
9602 | If he had guarded the Carrousel? |
9602 | If the latter form should be adopted, what should be the nature of the second chamber? |
9602 | Is Catiline at our gates? |
9602 | Is France, whose children are so ardent and changeable, to be exposed every two years to a revolution in her laws and opinions?" |
9602 | Louis abolished it: did the people desire the suppression of slavery? |
9602 | Louis suppressed it: did the people solicit reforms? |
9602 | Napoleon could not have been defeated by the hand of man, for what general could have triumphed over this incomparable chief? |
9602 | No, father; heaven is gained by killing one of these dogs of heretics.--What punishment does the Spaniard deserve who has failed in his duty? |
9602 | One true one, in three deceptive persons.--What are their names, Napoleon, Murat, and Manuel Godoy.--Which of the three is the most wicked? |
9602 | Or the country more happy? |
9602 | Pride and despotism.--Of the second? |
9602 | Rapine and cruelty.--Of the third? |
9602 | Should it be made an aristocratic assembly, or a moderative senate? |
9602 | Should it remain indivisible, or be divided into two chambers? |
9602 | Soldiers, may I rely on you?" |
9602 | The death and infamy of a traitor.--What will deliver us from our enemies? |
9602 | The emperor of the French.--How many natures has he? |
9602 | The following is the catechism used by the priests:"Tell me, my child, who you are? |
9602 | The junction of the two.--What is the ruling spirit of the first? |
9602 | Then an old man cried:"Comrades, why do you listen to traitors? |
9602 | There is a government, there are authorities; but the rest of the nation, what is it? |
9602 | They are all three equally so.--Whence is Napoleon derived? |
9602 | This concession of an experimental policy not existing, what means remained to the directory of driving the enemy from the heart of the state? |
9602 | To conquer them, to prostrate them, what is necessary? |
9602 | To set aside projects for strengthening the interior? |
9602 | To the sentinel''s cry of"_ Qui vive?_"they replied:"_ Vive la république! |
9602 | Two: human and diabolical.--How many emperors of the French are there? |
9602 | Was 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? |
9602 | Was it defending us to oppose to foreign soldiers forces whose known inferiority admitted of no doubt as to their defeat? |
9602 | What have you done with the hundred thousand Frenchmen whom I knew, my companions in glory? |
9602 | What is it you want, those of you who do not wish for virtue, that you may be happy? |
9602 | What is it you want, those of you who do not wish to employ terror against the wicked? |
9602 | What 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?'' |
9602 | What is this insulting dictatorship? |
9602 | What was to be done? |
9602 | What would my adversaries have done in my place? |
9602 | What would the upper chamber have done between the court and the nation? |
9602 | What, I ask, has been the consequence of these reiterated pardons? |
9602 | Where are the enemies of the nation? |
9602 | Where had it its supports and its satellites? |
9602 | While the insurrection assumed this violent, permanent, and serious character at Paris, what was doing at Versailles? |
9602 | Who can speak freely while he fears an arrest?" |
9602 | Who could withstand us? |
9602 | Who gives this command? |
9602 | Who makes these imperious laws for you? |
9602 | Who regret the terrible reign we have lived under? |
9602 | Why did not some hospitable land, on the 10th Thermidor, give back to light that colony of energetic patriots and virtuous republicans? |
9602 | Why do you hesitate to introduce unanimity of desires and principles between the two first authorities of the republic? |
9602 | Why were there not caverns deep enough to preserve to the country the meditations of Condorcet, the eloquence of Vergniaud? |
9602 | Why? |
9602 | cried he;"is it possible? |
9602 | he consented to change them: did the people desire that millions of Frenchmen should be restored to their rights? |
9602 | he made them: did the people wish to change its laws? |
9602 | he restored them: did the people wish for liberty? |
9602 | rejoined Danton,"an explanation? |
9602 | what are you doing? |
9602 | what army could have conquered the French army? |
8998 | Does that bird come from China, my dear? |
8998 | In what part of the_ château_ were you, Jean,said I,"when these balls were aimed at the windows?" |
8998 | Is he gone to rest? 8998 What''s your business, citizen?" |
8998 | When 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? |
8998 | Who 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_?'' |
8998 | And must a painful remembrance come to interrupt a recital which ought to recall cheerful ideas only? |
8998 | And whence came most of these generals who have shewn this inspiration, if I may so term it? |
8998 | And, indeed, how could they answer the most trifling question? |
8998 | Are you an epicure? |
8998 | Boileau has said,"_ Aimez- vous la muscade? |
8998 | But the parties interested should abstain from pronouncing; for where then would be the proportion between the punishment and the crime? |
8998 | But to what degree are these unfortunates deaf, and why are they dumb? |
8998 | But what can compensate for the absence of the tide? |
8998 | But what could the feeble remonstrances of the old against the warm applause of the young? |
8998 | But what have these_ would- be_ republicans to allege as an excuse in their favour? |
8998 | But what more horrid than the reverse, that is, two beings cursing the fatal hour which brought them together in wedlock? |
8998 | But why meddle with the cold remains of any great genius? |
8998 | Endeavours 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? |
8998 | Have they been to blame in refusing? |
8998 | He is asked,"What is Time?" |
8998 | He went up and said to him with eagerness:"Where''s the king?" |
8998 | How can he, in fact, contemplate these different flags, without regretting the torrents of blood which they have cost his fellow- creatures? |
8998 | How happens it that, in all countries on the continent, ladies flock to these odious spectacles? |
8998 | How then could it be dispensed with? |
8998 | In fact, what can well be more tiresome than a place where you find persons masked, without wit or humour? |
8998 | In general, they are coquetish; but, without coquetry, would they be deemed qualified for their employment? |
8998 | Instead of copying the French in objects of fickleness and frivolity, why not borrow from them what is really deserving of imitation? |
8998 | Is it not astonishing that the government should suffer, still more promote the existence of an evil so pernicious in every point of view? |
8998 | Is it to gratify an excess of national vanity, or create a superior degree of admiration in the mind of foreigners? |
8998 | Is then a mixture of horror and ridicule one of the characteristics of the revolution? |
8998 | No delicacy of the table but may be eaten in Paris.--Are you a toper? |
8998 | No delicious wine but may be drunk, in Paris.--Are you fond of frequenting places of public entertainment? |
8998 | No description of female beauty but may be obtained in Paris.--Are you partial to the society of men of extraordinary talents? |
8998 | No great genius but comes to display his knowledge in Paris.--Are you inclined to discuss military topics? |
8998 | No kind of instruction but may be acquired in Paris.--Are you an admirer of the fair sex? |
8998 | No sort of spectacle but may be seen in Paris.--Are you desirous of improving your mind? |
8998 | On my asking M. HAÜY, whether he would not retire, as it was intended he should, on his pension? |
8998 | On the first experiments being made of it, some one asked him:"Of what use are balloons?" |
8998 | Qui veut boire?_"here take their stand as they used, though not in such numbers. |
8998 | This 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? |
8998 | We scarcely dare say,_ we have read it_:''tis the scum of low literature, and what is there without its scum? |
8998 | What are their crimes? |
8998 | What are we doing in England?] |
8998 | What can well surpass an example of this kind mentioned by a celebrated French writer? |
8998 | What else but thou Giv''st safety, strength, and glory to a people?" |
8998 | What establishment then can be more convenient than that of a_ restaurateur_? |
8998 | What greater proof can be adduced of the vitiated taste of the male part of the audience? |
8998 | What is their number? |
8998 | What other city in Europe can boast of such an assemblage of accommodation? |
8998 | What should it be but a subpoena for a divorce? |
8998 | What strange fatality impels men to persevere in such unprofitable erections? |
8998 | What then can be said of a work in which they are all united? |
8998 | What 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? |
8998 | What was to be done? |
8998 | What will not gallantry suggest to a man of fashionable education? |
8998 | What, in fact, can be more liberal than this gratuitous diffusion of knowledge? |
8998 | Who are its occupiers? |
8998 | Who can accurately determine the best means for bringing the good to overbalance the evil? |
8998 | Who can fairly estimate the extent of the mischief which they produce, or of that which they obviate? |
8998 | Who has not heard the lay which records the defeat of Tourville? |
8998 | Who therefore need travel farther than Paris to enjoy every gratification? |
8998 | Why does not the British government follow an example so justly deserving of imitation? |
8998 | Why else should apples of irresistible ripeness and beauty have presented themselves to the eye of our first parents in the garden of Eden? |
8998 | Why then are not theatrical representations here so regulated, that the stage may conduce to the amelioration of morals? |
8998 | Will it remove his prejudices and errors? |
8998 | Will the contemplation of them render him more wise, more temperate, more liberal in his ideas? |
8998 | You 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? |
8998 | exclaimed I again,"what, is a counterrevolution at hand, that the_ Fête des Rois_ must also be celebrated?" |
8998 | rejoined he;"who then shall I get to love me?" |
8998 | said ROBESPIERRE to him,"do you dare to drink these poisoned brandies?" |
8998 | says another to him--"It is a day without yesterday, or to- morrow,"replies the pupil.--"What is a sense?" |
8998 | you have made very fine and majestic laws; but would you have divined these? |
39710 | And in what manner does this activity of intellect interfere to impede the course of justice? |
39710 | And what is the effect which this strangely assumed power has produced on your administration of justice? |
39710 | And what is the recompense which you would propose, sir? |
39710 | And your jurymen, according to a phrase of contempt common among us, are in fact judge and jury both? |
39710 | Are 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?... |
39710 | Are you prepared to be very much enchanted by what you are going to hear? |
39710 | Because we are virtuous, shall there be no more cakes and ale? |
39710 | But I presume you do not yourself subscribe to the sentence pronounced by these young critics? |
39710 | But the single ladies no longer young? |
39710 | But what right have they to doubt it?... 39710 Can not Alexa go too, mamma?" |
39710 | Can you not tell me something of her character? |
39710 | Certainly I do, sir,I replied:"how can I interpret it otherwise?" |
39710 | Combien de temps vous faut- il pour vous préparer? 39710 Did you dine much in private society?" |
39710 | Did you ever see anything like the fashion which this man has obtained? |
39710 | Do you consider their appearing here a proof that they are religious? |
39710 | Does public opinion sanction this strange abuse of the functions of jurymen? |
39710 | Have I not told you?... 39710 Have you never met her before? |
39710 | Have you read the works of the_ young men_ of France? |
39710 | I presume,said I,"that Madame de C*** is not the only person towards whom this remarkable species of tolerance is exercised?" |
39710 | I 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''?" |
39710 | Il eut la bonté de me lire les sommaires des chapitres-- Lequel choisir, lequel préférer? 39710 In what respect?" |
39710 | Invariably? |
39710 | Is it possible that the escape of a bird can have brought all these people together? |
39710 | Is it possible you can really think so, my dear sir? |
39710 | Is it since your last revolution,said I,"that the punishment of death has been commuted for that of imprisonment and labour?" |
39710 | Is that all? |
39710 | Is this the use your French romancers make of letters? |
39710 | Non?... 39710 Où? |
39710 | Pensez- vous Qu''Arthur voulût revoir Mademoiselle de Sommery? |
39710 | Prête à quoi? 39710 Que puis- je dire maintenant de ces Mémoires?" |
39710 | Quel poison? 39710 Voulez vous, madame? |
39710 | Vous savez qui je suis? 39710 Well?" |
39710 | What did happen to him? |
39710 | What did we fight for? |
39710 | What is this, Betty? |
39710 | Who is that very elegant- looking woman? |
39710 | Will you do me the favour to let me copy this receipt? |
39710 | You are astonished at seeing her here? 39710 You are in earnest?" |
39710 | You 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?... |
39710 | Alexa dear, what will you do without us?" |
39710 | And do they call it freedom to be locked up in a prison... actually locked up?... |
39710 | And 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?... |
39710 | And what has been the result of all this? |
39710 | And what was the piece, can you guess, which produced this effect upon us?... |
39710 | Au lieu de demander où elle est, ne devrait- on pas demander où n''est- elle pas? |
39710 | But must I write to you in sober earnest about this comic tragedy? |
39710 | But what can not zealous kindness effect? |
39710 | But when did ever the surface of human affairs present an aspect so full of interest? |
39710 | Can I better keep the promise I gave you yesterday than by writing you a letter of and concerning le grand opéra? |
39710 | Can 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? |
39710 | Can we wonder that feelings, and even principles, are found to bend before an influence so salutary and so strong? |
39710 | Can we wonder that the Morgue is seldom untenanted?... |
39710 | Can you wonder that I was delighted? |
39710 | Do they not seem an echo to the sound she describes? |
39710 | En avez- vous eu une, vous?... |
39710 | Est- ce qu''il y a quelque mouvement?" |
39710 | Est- ce que c''est coupable tout ce que je dis là de lui? |
39710 | Et savez- vous ce que c''est que Venise?... |
39710 | Gaillardet et***** have brought together? |
39710 | Has the dialogue either dignity, spirit, or truth of nature to recommend it? |
39710 | Have you got Bernardin de Saint Pierre, ma chère?" |
39710 | His 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?" |
39710 | How can you expect such blind confidence from me?" |
39710 | How can you get away? |
39710 | How is it possible to find or invent any device that can save you from enduring to the end? |
39710 | I confess that I envy them their beautiful giraffe; but what else have they which we can not equal? |
39710 | I fancied that I misunderstood him, and repeated his words,--"With the jury?" |
39710 | Is it not wonderful that the Emperor of Constantinople could consent to part with such precious treasures for the lucre of gain? |
39710 | Is it possible to conceive affected sublimity and genuine nonsense carried farther than this? |
39710 | Is it to the Convention, or to the Directory?--Is it to their mimicry of Roman Consulships? |
39710 | Is there a single sentiment throughout the five acts with which an honest man can accord? |
39710 | Is there anything in the world so perfectly French as this? |
39710 | Is there even an approach to grace or beauty in the_ tableaux_? |
39710 | Is there, in truth, any picture much less new than that of a gondola, with a guitar in it, gliding along the canals of Venice? |
39710 | Is this possible?... |
39710 | Is this tact? |
39710 | Justice encore rendu, que ne t''a- t- on? |
39710 | Le monde nous demande de belles peintures-- où en seraient les types? |
39710 | Ma mère fut saisie sur- le- champ-- elle ne dit rien... a quoi bon? |
39710 | Mais que voulez- vous? |
39710 | My voice may well falter-- unknown is my name, But say, must my accents prove therefore in vain? |
39710 | My words, I think, were,--"Pourriez- vous me dire, madame, ce que signifie tout ce monde?... |
39710 | Ne 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? |
39710 | Non, n''est- ce pas?" |
39710 | Or is it knowledge,--real, genuine, substantial information respecting all things? |
39710 | Quand donc au corps qu''académique on nomme, Grimperas- tu de roc en roc, rare homme?" |
39710 | Que veux- tu que je te dise? |
39710 | Query-- Do not the Germans furnish something very like this juste milieu? |
39710 | Savez- vous ce que c''est que d''avoir une mère? |
39710 | Shall I have the amiability to depart?" |
39710 | Shall I tell you how it has been done in Paris? |

39710 | Suis- je un hors- d''oeuvre, un inutile article, Une cinquième roue ajoutée au tricycle?" |
39710 | Surely he would hardly be permitted to preach at Notre Dame, where the archbishop himself sits in judgment on him, were he otherwise than orthodox?" |
39710 | Tell me-- is there not some truth in this idea?" |
39710 | Then Rodolpho says to Catarina,"Par qui as- tu été sauvée?" |
39710 | This is a strange statement, is it not? |
39710 | Treason and rapine, of course, if time be ripe for it-- but_ en attendant_? |
39710 | Trouves- tu cela bien arrangé ainsi?" |
39710 | What can be said in defence of such an act?... |
39710 | What is there which men, and most especially Frenchmen, will not suffer and endure to hear that note? |
39710 | What may it be?... |
39710 | What would Saintfoix say to the notion that Victor Hugo had"heaved the ground from beneath the feet of Corneille and Racine"? |
39710 | What would become of all the parties for amusement which take place morning, noon, and night in Paris, if this race were extinct? |
39710 | What would the LIBERALS of Europe have said of King Louis- Philippe, had he acted upon this republican principle? |
39710 | Where is the retreat that can be secured from it? |
39710 | Why trembled the tear- drop so oft in mine eye? |
39710 | Why, what would you do for an old nurse?" |
39710 | With cheeks burning from steam and vexation, can you plead a sudden faintness? |
39710 | a- t- il raison, ce Bernardin?" |
39710 | and if it be not, what follows?... |
39710 | c''est la première idée qui vous vient?" |
39710 | can a slave be worse than that? |
39710 | can you love me?" |
39710 | huchera- t- on ton nom? |
39710 | or has his restless star to rise again? |
39710 | or skill in the arrangement of the scenes? |
39710 | or that I have thought the occurrence worth dwelling upon with some degree of lingering fondness? |
39710 | or, in short, any one merit to recommend it-- except only its superlative defiance of common decency and common sense? |
39710 | said I:"what is it that you suppose was out of the common way?" |
39710 | she continued;--"forgive me... but is it really supposed that they pass their entire lives without any indiscretion at all?" |
39710 | she repeated with a very speaking smile:"est- ce que madame est effrayée?... |
39710 | she repeated, laughing;"then you really find nothing extraordinary in this proceeding-- nothing out of the common way?" |
39710 | why was my bosom with sorrow oppress''d? |
39710 | y a- t- il une autre bête comme la mienne?..." |
14300 | Am I a dog to be beaten to death in the street? 14300 And who will command, if you go?" |
14300 | Are we to talk about fashion, at such a time? |
14300 | Do 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?" |
14300 | How smile, sir? |
14300 | In what capacity? |
14300 | Is 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? |
14300 | What are your plans for giving water to Paris? |
14300 | What did you mean to do with that knife? |
14300 | What is the wind? |
14300 | What will become of us,asked the Czar,"if Napoleon accepts your mediation?" |
14300 | Why do you wish to kill me? |
14300 | Would you thank me if I pardoned you? |
14300 | [ 564] Why this wish for wider limits? 14300 ''Why, First Consul?'' 14300 ''Why, then, these armaments? 14300 ''s Ministers doing? 14300 ***** CHAPTER XL WATERLOO Would Wellington hold on to his position? 14300 ***** CHAPTER XXIX ERFURTAt bottom the great question is-- who shall have Constantinople?" |
14300 | --"Whence do you get your grain, cloth, and iron?" |
14300 | After this, how could hero- worship subsist? |
14300 | Against whom these measures of precaution? |
14300 | All his features, particularly his mouth and nose, fine, sharp, defined, and expressive beyond description; expressive of what? |
14300 | Am I to make them?" |
14300 | And for what? |
14300 | And how came it that Napoleon and Ney missed this golden opportunity? |
14300 | And if he longed for repose, would the Opposition in England and the malcontents in France have let him rest? |
14300 | And their chief, why did he not share their glorious fate? |
14300 | And what more can be said on behalf of a ruler at the end of a bloody revolution? |
14300 | And what of Napoleon, in part the product and in part the cause, of this strange reaction? |
14300 | And where is Schwarzenberg? |
14300 | And where, we may ask, could a less unpleasant place of detention have been found? |
14300 | And who has ever borne a heavier burden? |
14300 | And would it end as long as Napoleon saw any chance of snatching a temporary success? |
14300 | And would not the hopes of national freedom and of emancipation from feudal imposts fire these peoples with zeal for the French cause? |
14300 | And, if so, did the men of 1789 follow them by practical methods? |
14300 | Are my murderers sacred beings? |
14300 | Are you going mad at Paris?" |
14300 | As a retort to the tongue- fencers, what could be better? |
14300 | At 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?" |
14300 | At 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? |
14300 | Besides, if she had to traverse other States to come to him, would she ever do so? |
14300 | Besides, what do they mean with their fatalism? |
14300 | But how came he to receive the military authority which was so potently to influence the course of events? |
14300 | But how can Prussians be there in force? |
14300 | But how treat with England, who wishes to bind me not to build more than thirty ships of the line in my ports? |
14300 | But is he not tormented by all the daggers of the furies?" |
14300 | But of what avail are private remonstrances when in open session opponents are dumb and supporters vie in adulation? |
14300 | But on what ground? |
14300 | But to Ney''s request for more troops he returned the petulant answer:"Troops? |
14300 | But what did he presume that the allied forces in Bohemia would be doing while he overwhelmed Blücher in Silesia? |
14300 | But what have divine laws to do with a purely human affair? |
14300 | But 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?] |
14300 | But what shall we say of his sense of imperial diplomacy? |
14300 | But what were these against the trained host of more than 100,000 men now marching against the feeble barriers on the north and east? |
14300 | But who could work it? |
14300 | But why? |
14300 | But would he have ignored them, had he been in Bathurst''s place?] |
14300 | But would not this encouragement embolden the Emperor to crush the contumacious Chambers? |
14300 | But you, sir, he did not know you even by sight: then, why this great devotion of yours?'' |
14300 | Can this be called evidence?] |
14300 | Could the man who had bartered away Venetia and seized Malta and Egypt be fitly looked upon as the sacred''r peacemaker? |
14300 | Could the man, who had been wellnigh murdered by the rabble of Avignon and Orgon, hope to march in peace through that royalist province? |
14300 | Could you easily rid yourself of them? |
14300 | Did Bonaparte originate the plan of attack? |
14300 | Did Napoleon foresee a similar result? |
14300 | Did his past power in Italy and Egypt warrant the belief that he would abandon the peninsula and the new colony? |
14300 | Did that example inspire the French Emperor, or did he take counsel from his own boundless resources of brain and will? |
14300 | Did the Pitt Ministry intend to betray the confidence of the French royalists and keep Toulon for England? |
14300 | Did these words induce the Prussians to accept battle at Ligny? |
14300 | Do not all his references to his star occur in proclamations and addresses intended for popular consumption? |
14300 | Do you know the prime cause of the fall of the Bourbons? |
14300 | Finally,"he asked,"why should not the mistress of the seas and the mistress of the land come to an arrangement and govern the world?" |
14300 | For the conquest of Constantinople or of India? |
14300 | For the exercise of all these gifts what land was so fitted as the mosaic of States which was dignified with the name of Italy? |
14300 | For the rest, is it credible that this analyzing genius could ever have seriously adopted the astrologer''s creed? |
14300 | For what did Austria demand of him? |
14300 | For what had he gained? |
14300 | For what was his position at this time? |
14300 | Had Metternich the full assent of those Governments when he offered the French Emperor the natural frontiers? |
14300 | Has he irrevocably staked his own and his son''s fate on the last cannon?" |
14300 | Have we not destroyed the Knights of Malta, because those fools believed it to be God''s will to war against Moslems?" |
14300 | Have you despatched a courier with my final determination?'' |
14300 | Her woman''s wit flew to the utterance:"May I consider it a token of friendship, and that you grant my request for Magdeburg?" |
14300 | How came he to outgrow the insular patriotism of his early years? |
14300 | How can we between July 5th and 20th end a negotiation which ought to embrace the whole world?" |
14300 | How could Blücher hope for help from forces so weak and scattered? |
14300 | How 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? |
14300 | How could he keep the Austrians quiet while envoys passed between Turin and Paris? |
14300 | How is this to be accounted for? |
14300 | How should the brain of the body politic, that is, the Legislature, be connected with the hand, that is, the Executive? |
14300 | If the plague of rats was really very bad, why is it that Gourgaud made so little of it?] |
14300 | If the populace had not as yet declared for the Bourbons, who could wonder at that, when the allies persisted in negotiating with Napoleon? |
14300 | In that bargaining and burglarious age, was it not better to build a more lasting habitation than this venerable ruin? |
14300 | In that case, would not Austria make peace, and leave Alexander and Blücher at his mercy? |
14300 | In 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? |
14300 | Is it credible that the Guards, less than 4,000 strong, should have spread their attacks over a quarter of a mile of front? |
14300 | Is not Blücher resting on the banks of the Aisne? |
14300 | Is there anything in his early note- books or later correspondence which warrants such a belief? |
14300 | It is difficult to reconcile all this with the attack in hollow squares; but probably the squares( or oblongs?) |
14300 | May not the words"domiciled"and"employed"have aroused Lowe''s suspicions of Balcombe and O''Meara? |
14300 | Might not such an impulse be imparted by the French Revolution? |
14300 | Moreover, if this were the object, why was not the flank move of the French cavalry above Lodi pushed home earlier in the fight? |
14300 | On the whole, was there ever an odder company of shipmates since the days of Noah? |
14300 | Or did he merely carry out orders as a subordinate? |
14300 | Or did he throw his weight and influence into a scheme that others beside him had designed? |
14300 | Or did the hope of striking a blow for Corsica stay his suicidal hand? |
14300 | Or if he had gone to the United States, who would have competed with him for the Presidency? |
14300 | Or was it a passing flash of that religious sentiment which he professed in his declining years? |
14300 | Or were they imposed in order to insult the great man? |
14300 | Or, if he must have Norway, would not Denmark give her assent if she received Swedish Pomerania and Lübeck? |
14300 | Poor Gourgaud,_ qu''allais- tu faire dans cette galère_? |
14300 | Réal''s first words, on hearing this unexpected news, were:"How is that possible? |
14300 | Soldiers of the Army of Italy, will you lack courage?" |
14300 | The Emperor came up to me as I stood in the circle, and in a low voice said:''Have you written to your Court? |
14300 | The Government counted for little or nothing; for was it not the symbol of the detested foreign rule? |
14300 | The 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? |
14300 | The 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? |
14300 | Then he burst out:"Could I have expected that from Dupont, a man whom I loved, and was rearing up to become a Marshal? |
14300 | To mix with Kings in the low lust of sway, Yell in the hunt and join the murderous prey? |
14300 | To what are we to attribute this change of front? |
14300 | Touching the Minister on the shoulder, he said quietly:"Well, now, do you know what will happen? |
14300 | Was Napoleon puzzled because the corps was heading south- east instead of east?] |
14300 | Was it a spinney, or a body of troops? |
14300 | Was it not time that this should end? |
14300 | Was it now to be provisioned, in order that the Directory might barter away the Cispadane Republic? |
14300 | Was not the column the usual method of attack? |
14300 | Was there really any need for these"nation- degrading"rules, as O''Meara called them? |
14300 | Were not the appeals to Austria and England merely a skillful device to gain time? |
14300 | Were the lofty aims and aspirations of the Revolution attainable? |
14300 | Were they suited to this child of the Mediterranean? |
14300 | What could he now do with these 2,500 or 3,000 prisoners? |
14300 | What is the end of Cromwell? |
14300 | What is the upshot of it all? |
14300 | What mean these_ Miserere_ and these prayers of forty hours? |
14300 | What might not those 20,000 men, detained in La Vendée, have effected on the crest of Waterloo? |
14300 | What right had Prussia thus to carry into effect a treaty which she had not ratified? |
14300 | What then had been lacking? |
14300 | What then remained after these and many other disappointments? |
14300 | What then was wanting? |
14300 | What was their mandate compared with his? |
14300 | What were those ailments? |
14300 | What would not Napoleon have given to know the actual state of things at the allied headquarters? |
14300 | What, meanwhile, was the position of the allies? |
14300 | What, then, caused the delay in the French attack? |
14300 | Where are your great families? |
14300 | Who deserved to enjoy power? |
14300 | Who had won power? |
14300 | Who should succeed this skilful and methodical officer? |
14300 | Who then so fitted as he to approach the victor of Hohenlinden? |
14300 | Why also had the grave been dug beforehand? |
14300 | Why also was his countenance the only one that afterwards showed no remorse or grief? |
14300 | Why did he shut himself up in his private room on March 20th, so that even Josephine had difficulty in gaining entrance? |
14300 | Why did not Ney occupy the cross- roads in force on the evening of the 15th? |
14300 | Why did she accept the armed help of 1,600 French royalists? |
14300 | Why did she admit, not only 6,900 Spaniards, but also 4,900 Neapolitans and 1,600 Piedmontese? |
14300 | Why did she urgently plead with Austria to send 5,000 white- coats from Milan? |
14300 | Why had Austria deserted him? |
14300 | Why had not the King dismissed that tool of England? |
14300 | Why had the French ambassador been slighted? |
14300 | Why lose your head thus? |
14300 | Why not have annexed Prussia outright? |
14300 | Why should Joseph speak of_ his_ rights and_ his_ interests? |
14300 | Why should not history repeat itself? |
14300 | Why 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? |
14300 | Why should she subordinate her policy to that of England and to the personal animosities of the Czar? |
14300 | Why should they, or the"electors"of France, cheer? |
14300 | Why speak to me of goodness, abstract justice, and of natural laws? |
14300 | Why then did the Pope set himself above Christ? |
14300 | Why then, we ask, did he accept the command? |
14300 | Why this neglect if she wished to settle matters?] |
14300 | Why this refinement of cruelty to his former ally? |
14300 | Why was Hardenberg high in favour? |
14300 | Why was I not warned that they were assembling at Ettenheim? |
14300 | Why, finally, were Savary and Réal not disgraced? |
14300 | Why, then, did he not attack at once? |
14300 | Why, then, had that treaty been so criticised at Berlin? |
14300 | Why, then, was not the attack clinched by infantry? |
14300 | Witness this crushing retort to M. Mathieu:"What is your Theophilanthropy? |
14300 | Would he have dared the uttermost at all points at Waterloo? |
14300 | Would 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? |
14300 | Would he have spurned the offers of an advantageous peace made to him from Prague in 1813? |
14300 | Would it not therefore be better to await the development of events? |
14300 | Would not Dresden and his communications with France be left open to their blows? |
14300 | Would not the hereditary dominions form a more lasting shelter from the storm? |
14300 | Would these bewildered lads stand before the wave of horsemen already topping the crest? |
14300 | You 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 | where do you want me to get them from? |
14300 | would require for the expenses of the war-- such as Corsica or some of the French West Indies? |
21498 | Pray why? |
21498 | What 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 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 | And whom had the elective principle put into his place, under the pressure of irreconcilable personal rivalries, and of a threatened popular outbreak? |
21498 | And why should anybody in or out of France celebrate them? |

21498 | Are they not trying to make a"great Frenchman"now of Carnot? |

21498 | Did the French Government intend to invite the monarchies of Europe to celebrate the destruction by a mob of the Bastille on July 14, 1789? |
21498 | Do 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"? |
21498 | Do you imagine that Christianity, if it be your enemy, is an enemy as terrible as Nihilism? |
21498 | Do you know Bapaume? |
21498 | Do you see that high chimney across the road some way off among the trees? |
21498 | Do you wonder I am a pessimist?'' |
21498 | Do you wonder that thoughtful men look with horror on the current which is carrying us in such a direction as that? |
21498 | Does not that take us a long way on towards savage life? |
21498 | Does 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''? |
21498 | Does that mean that the Carnots are of this country?'' |
21498 | For 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? |
21498 | Furthermore, 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? |

21498 | How can France hope to find liberty within her own borders, or peace with honour abroad, under the domination of such men? |
21498 | How can an independent Executive ever be restored in France excepting in the person of Philippe VII.? |
21498 | How can you ask me to forget that?'' |
21498 | How is he to face the organised hostility of men of his own class? |
21498 | How is he to meet the legal cost of defending his rights? |
21498 | How is that to be brought about without endangering the success of the enterprises? |
21498 | How many are they? |
21498 | How many young women applied? |
21498 | I had surely heard of that?'' |
21498 | I should be glad to know what''employer''ever devised a more shameless plan than this for reducing workmen to slavery, moral and financial? |
21498 | If General Boulanger for their own sake could not be allowed to represent them, why not M. Cercueil? |
21498 | If they succeed in unmaking their legend of Boulanger, where are they? |
21498 | Is it France alone which is thus threatened? |
21498 | Is it not avowedly because they think this will stop the recruiting for the ranks of the clergy? |
21498 | Is it not because the French magistrates stand between them and the rights of the French clergy as French citizens? |
21498 | Is 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? |
21498 | Is it possible that in the actual condition of France and of Europe such a system as this should last? |
21498 | Is it transparent, that? |
21498 | Is it"clericalism"which is stirring up Labour against Capital? |
21498 | Is it"clericalism"which is transforming your literature into ribaldry and your theatres into brothels? |
21498 | Is it"clericalism"which manufactures dynamite and blows up houses? |
21498 | Is it"clericalism"which preaches and supports"strikes"? |
21498 | Is it"clericalism"which shuts up your schools? |
21498 | Is it"clericalism"which transforms all the actions and relations of life into matters of contract and of calculation? |
21498 | Is not that liberty? |
21498 | Is not this plain? |
21498 | Is not universal suffrage a natural and easy weapon of capital in any"struggle for life"with labour? |
21498 | Is that liberty I ask you?'' |
21498 | Is there any respect for equal rights-- for the rule of the majority, for freedom of conscience in such proceedings? |
21498 | Is this a confirmation, I wonder, of the theory entertained by Mr. Emerson and other philosophers, that woman is not a''clubbable''animal? |
21498 | It is not the Pucelle who would have put them out, do you think? |
21498 | Jefferson had sense enough to decline the invitation; but what gleam of sense, political or other, had the blundering tinkers who gave it? |
21498 | LUCK, OR CUNNING, AS THE MAIN MEANS OF ORGANIC MODIFICATION?_ Cr. |
21498 | Le Royes and Jules Ferry? |

21498 | My son when he gets his stripes is to marry-- she is a very nice girl, an only child, do you know? |
21498 | No? |
21498 | Of 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?'' |
21498 | Of course the Chamber eagerly adopted it? |
21498 | Of how many towns of twenty thousand inhabitants could the same thing be truly said in England or the United States? |
21498 | Or the Convocation of the States- General at Versailles on May 5, 1789? |
21498 | So-- what does he care? |
21498 | Strike out of the theory of representative institutions the right divine of the people to choose the wrong men, and what is left of it? |
21498 | The Comte de Chassepot told you the story, did he not, of the Calvary in the cemetery of the Madeleine? |

21498 | To what will the''civic duties''of man bring France, and, with France, the civilization of Christendom, in 1892? |
21498 | Was I not right? |
21498 | Was it natural? |
21498 | Was it not my duty to see no favouritism shown to one commune at the expense of another?'' |
21498 | Was the new republic hailed with enthusiasm? |
21498 | What Sister could resist such an appeal? |
21498 | What are the''principles of 1789''? |

21498 | What is to become of the 730 unsuccessful competitors? |
21498 | What more and what less than this is there in the history of Alfred the Great? |
21498 | What really happened? |
21498 | What was to be done? |
21498 | What we want is a man; where are we to find him?'' |
21498 | What will become of them? |
21498 | What 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? |

21498 | Why should''horrors''have been committed at Arras in 1789? |
21498 | Why? |
21498 | Why? |
21498 | Why? |
21498 | Why? |
21498 | Will 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? |
21498 | With Brother Allain- Targé as Prefect, what could be easier? |

21498 | With these short leases what can be done for the land?" |
21498 | Would I object to their dining with me-- there was no other good room?'' |
21498 | Would not England necessarily stand by France in such a proposal? |
21498 | Would you trust him with your pocket- book? |
21498 | Yes? |
21498 | Yet what did he say in 1888? |
21498 | You can find the bottom of it if you keep on long enough-- and then? |
21498 | You have seen, of course, his_ Catéchisme du Patron_?'' |
21498 | You saw at Chauny the building of the local journal there,_ La Défense Nationale_''? |
21498 | You tell me people in England and America have no idea of what is going on in France? |

21498 | and on what pretext? |
21498 | and will they spend all this money on dinners and punches? |
21498 | broke in M. de Mortillet;''pray, what is God?'' |
21498 | but what of that? |
21498 | he replied with a kind of''sniff'':''that leaf? |
21498 | he replied,''I do n''t think they care much about Boulanger, and why should they dislike Carnot? |
21498 | he replied,''in those days what did they know about good wine?'' |
21498 | he said scornfully;''why should it be? |
21498 | he said,"it is money out of pocket, and for what? |
21498 | he said;''how can a sensible man think of such a thing? |
21498 | liberty for all?'' |
21498 | no value of his own? |
21498 | what does that signify? |
38997 | ''Is it possible that you have not heard what has happened to her?'' 38997 A quoi pensez- vous, Madame Trollope?" |
38997 | An 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?" |
38997 | And how old is she, this unhappy Mademoiselle Isabelle? |
38997 | And in sufficient force, are they not, to keep Paris quiet if she should feel disposed to be frolicsome? |
38997 | And that little odd- looking man in black,said I,"who is he?... |
38997 | And that pretty woman in the corner? |
38997 | And that, you think, would be accepted as a passport through any scene of treason and rebellion? |
38997 | And what do you think of the troops? |
38997 | And why? |
38997 | And, I too,groans another,--"am I not famous? |
38997 | Anything?--or nothing? |
38997 | Are not those young ladies who have just finished their quadrille unmarried? |
38997 | But are all the National Guards true? |
38997 | But how can you help it? 38997 But how is this repose to be obtained?" |
38997 | But such is your opinion? |
38997 | But surely, being brought forward to dance in a waltz or quadrille, is not the sort of consequence which we either of us mean? |
38997 | But what would your inference be as to the state of the country from such reports as these? |
38997 | But when she is given to him, do you think this process more desirable than before? |
38997 | Comment?--de la trahison?... 38997 Did you not say you had seen the review?" |
38997 | Do you know--------? |
38997 | Does the_ anything_ mean a revolution? 38997 Et quel est ce repos? |
38997 | Et quel est donc ce repos? 38997 Have you heard l''Abbé Coeur?" |
38997 | Have you read it? |
38997 | I rejoice to hear this,said I:"but may I, as a matter of curiosity, ask you what you think about this famous trial? |
38997 | Intéressante? 38997 Is there any interesting news to- day in any of the papers?" |
38997 | Is this interval of calm likely to be followed by a storm? |
38997 | Mais ne voyez- vous pas que l''eau tombe, messieurs? |
38997 | Mais... que sais- je?... 38997 N''est- ce pas? |
38997 | Ne 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? |
38997 | Not enter? |
38997 | Or----? |
38997 | Or----? |
38997 | Precise? 38997 Seen what?" |
38997 | That is true; but do you not find that what you hear from one person is often contradicted by another? |
38997 | The ostensible heroines?... |
38997 | Then what can you do at last but judge by what you see? |
38997 | Unmarried women?... 38997 Vous m''avez oublié donc?" |
38997 | What call you reputation, woman? |
38997 | What can be the difference, ma''am,said the poor body who told me this,"between us and Madame C---- in this illness? |
38997 | What is there in a name? |
38997 | What, then, becomes of them? |
38997 | Where 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?" |
38997 | Whom can you have been listening to? |
38997 | Will they do anything to assist it? |
38997 | Will you then have the kindness to explain to me the difference in this respect between France and England? |
38997 | You do not know M. de Châteaubriand? |
38997 | ... à présent il n''y a que cela au monde.... You read the journals?" |
38997 | After she had run her tilt against authority, she broke off, exclaiming--"Mais, après tout,--what does it signify?... |
38997 | An old noble-- page to Louis Seize-- a royalist soldier in La Vendée,--how could I think otherwise? |
38997 | And how do they support this claim? |
38997 | And might we not exclaim for her in all kindness--"Let but the cheat endure!--She asks not aught beside?" |
38997 | And where is the living artist who could stand his ground against such cruel odds? |
38997 | And you really have been fortunate enough to fall in with one of these_ enfans perdus_? |
38997 | Apropos de quoi, s''il vous plaît?... |
38997 | Are not my delicious tales of unschooled nature in the hands of every free- born youth and tender maid in this our regenerated Athens? |
38997 | Are the execrations of the noble beings enslaved, imprisoned, tortured, trampled on by tyranny, a result? |
38997 | But 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?" |
38997 | But do you not think that the irritation produced by these preparations at the Luxembourg is of considerable extent and violence?" |
38997 | But you will allow also that, however rare they may be in England, such records of scandal and of shame are rarer still in France?" |
38997 | Can anything be imagined more tantalising than this? |
38997 | Can the place where one comes to look for this be favourable for hanging our illustrious countryman''s representation of the same subject? |
38997 | Could it be memory? |
38997 | Depuis quand n''est- il plus permis à un roi de courtiser sur la scène une servante d''auberge?... |
38997 | Did Greece ever show any combination of stones and mortar more graceful, more majestic than this? |
38997 | Do I not receive yearly some hundreds of francs for my sublime familiarity with sin and misery? |
38997 | Do they not group well together? |
38997 | Do you know of any English ladies thus devoted to the study of the soul?"... |
38997 | Do you think that the best smile of Louis le Grand could be worth this? |
38997 | Do your countrymen think so? |
38997 | Est- ce un malheur si grand que de cesser de vivre? |
38997 | Have you not tried, and found you could make nothing of it?" |
38997 | Have you seen it yet?" |
38997 | How do you think it will end?" |
38997 | I am no longer a true and loyal knight in your estimation... but something, perhaps, very like a rebel and a traitor?... |
38997 | I believe my countenance expressed my astonishment; for the old gentleman smiled and said,"Do I frighten you with my revolutionary principles?" |
38997 | If it cost too much to have a good new piece, would it not be better to have a good old one? |
38997 | In 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?" |
38997 | Is he not handsome? |
38997 | Is it not so?" |
38997 | Is it not that they declare themselves to be more true to nature? |
38997 | Is it not wonderful what a difference twenty- one miles of salt- water can make in the ways and manners of people? |
38997 | Is it thus that the Reform Bill, and all the other horrible Bills in its train, are to be interpreted? |
38997 | Is not that your meaning?" |
38997 | Is not this fame, infamous slanderer?" |
38997 | Is not this fame?" |
38997 | Is not this marvellous? |
38997 | Is not this using the spur where the rein is most wanting? |
38997 | Is not what is good for the poor, good for the rich too?" |
38997 | Is she married, then?'' |
38997 | Is the burning indignation of millions of Frenchmen a result? |
38997 | Is there anything in the world that can be fairly said to resemble the Gardens of the Tuileries? |
38997 | Is there in any language a word that can raise so many shuddering sensations as"_ La Morgue_?" |
38997 | It is for the justification and protection of the National Guard;--and are we not all National Guards?" |
38997 | Mais c''est égal-- they are all very good friends again.... Now, tell me whom I shall introduce to you?" |
38997 | Might we not say, that Thought and affliction, passion, death itself, They turn to favour and to prettiness? |
38997 | N''aura- t- il à espérer aucun adoucissement à ses peines?... |
38997 | Now you understand it?... |
38997 | O, what could be the fleeting visions formed that worked her fancy thus? |
38997 | Oh, 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?" |
38997 | Or 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? |
38997 | Or was the fitful emotion caused by the galloping vagaries of an imagination which outstripped the power of reason to follow it? |
38997 | Où suis- je? |
38997 | Que peut être le motif d''une pareille mesure?... |
38997 | Qui est- ce qui veut les nier?... |
38997 | Shall we ever experience this? |
38997 | Tell me truly, is there any chance of a riot?" |
38997 | The important question of"What colours shall we mix?" |
38997 | The weather is so fine now, you know.... And the opera? |
38997 | They are yet to come, but come they will; and when they do, think you that the next revolution will be one of three days? |
38997 | They did make you master-- they have had their holiday, and now....""And now..."said I,"what will come next?" |
38997 | Was it cannon?... |
38997 | Was it possible to doubt that the paper in his hand was"Le Journal des Débats?" |
38997 | What do you call result, madam? |
38997 | What is it you mean? |
38997 | Whence comes this change? |
38997 | Where 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? |
38997 | Where 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? |
38997 | Which of the most accomplished Hellenists of either country would be found capable of sustaining a familiar conversation in Greek? |
38997 | While they remained there, a royal carriage passed, and one of the party said--"It is the queen, I believe?" |
38997 | Who can wonder at his madness? |
38997 | Why can no arms move with the same beautiful and easy elegance? |
38997 | Why is it that none of the young heads can learn to turn like hers? |
38997 | Why might not our National Gallery have risen as noble, as simple, as beautiful as this? |
38997 | Why should the lowest passions of our nature be for ever brought out in parade before us? |
38997 | Why should we make a pastime of looking upon vulgar vice? |
38997 | Will you hear it, Madame B...?" |
38997 | Would it be a pun to say that there is poetical justice in this? |
38997 | You think, then,"she continued,"that our young married women are made of too much importance among us?" |
38997 | Your orders precise to refuse me?" |
38997 | and are not my works read by''Young France''with ecstasy? |
38997 | cries one;"have not I achieved a reputation? |
38997 | does Europe think so? |
38997 | qu''est- ce que cela fait? |
38997 | que puis- je au milieu de ce peuple abattu? |
38997 | que t''a- t- on fait? |
38997 | said he coaxingly,"will you let me tell you a little word of treason?" |
38997 | says a third:"do not the theatres overflow when I send murder, lust, and incest on the stage, to witch the world with wondrous wickedness?" |
38997 | was it possible to believe that this man was other than a prosperous doctrinaire? |
32408 | Are you still,said he to Dumouriez,"in the same sentiments expressed in your letter last evening?" |
32408 | Mamma,said he,"why should any one harm papa? |
32408 | Moreover,he added,"would it not demonstrate their innocence if you dare not try them? |
32408 | What are you saying, Sir? |
32408 | What does the advice of the general of the army amount to,said Vergniaud,"if it is not law?" |
32408 | What has become of them? |
32408 | What has she done to them? |
32408 | What is going to become of all those who have stayed up stairs? |
32408 | What is the matter with her? |
32408 | What is the name of that guard who defended my father so bravely? |
32408 | Who 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?" |
32408 | Why,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? |
32408 | A few minutes later, Danton said to Pétion:"Do you know what they have taken into their heads? |
32408 | After some disorderly and violent debate, it is resolved that the president shall put the question: Are the petitioners to be admitted to the bar? |
32408 | After the acceptance of the Constitution, Marie Antoinette wrote to him:"Can you understand my position and the part I am continually obliged to play? |
32408 | Afterwards, the following conversation took place:"Then you are going to join Luckner''s army?" |
32408 | And do not the nations pass their time in producing webs of Penelope, whose bloody threads they weave and unweave again with tears? |
32408 | And how will André Chénier end? |
32408 | And might not the daughter of the great Maria Theresa have cried, like the daughter of Philipon the engraver? |
32408 | And the women, what was their fate? |
32408 | And then what will happen? |
32408 | And to attain what end? |
32408 | And what is it that interrupts the speakers? |
32408 | And what occurs at the clubs? |
32408 | And where can it now be found? |
32408 | And why say to- morrow? |
32408 | And yet was it not she who had proposed to herself this ideal, so easily to have been realized? |
32408 | Are there any such? |
32408 | Are they dead? |
32408 | At her waking the Queen, on being informed of what had passed, began to weep, and said:"Why was I not called?" |
32408 | But do popular love and fidelity afford any support to a tottering throne? |
32408 | But how could devoted royalists and men accustomed to discipline be expected to approve the fête of the Swiss of Chateauvieux, for example? |
32408 | But how will he receive him? |
32408 | But in that case, what would have become of their popularity with the pikemen? |
32408 | But what shall we do when we get there?" |
32408 | Could 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? |
32408 | Could so humiliating an obedience be expected from a great nation, proud of having conquered its liberty? |
32408 | Deputy Saladin exclaimed:"I ask M. Ramond if he is making M. Lafayette''s funeral oration?" |
32408 | Did he foresee that the King and himself would die at the same place, on the same scaffold, and only nine months apart? |
32408 | Do they forget that when the seditious Commune massacred M. Mandat, it rendered his projected defence of no avail?" |
32408 | Do they not belong to all Paris? |
32408 | Do you believe it? |
32408 | Do you desire the welfare of France? |
32408 | Do you fancy that Marie Antoinette is the only woman who will be insulted, calumniated, and betrayed? |
32408 | Do you know what was the chief distraction of this crowd in April, 1792? |
32408 | Do you mean to fire on them? |
32408 | Do 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? |
32408 | Do you think I am afraid of death?" |
32408 | Does any one believe that the Assembly will have the courage to condemn Pétion and the 20th of June? |
32408 | Does he fear to imperil the lives of his wife and children by an energetic deed? |
32408 | Does he fear, then, that the National Assembly is not strong enough to repress them? |
32408 | Does he think to prove his wisdom by his patience, and that success will crown delay? |
32408 | Does he wish to carry to extremes that pardon of injuries which is recommended by the Gospel? |
32408 | Does not that prove what deep root royalty had taken in France? |
32408 | Does not this most feminine passage in Madame Roland''s Memoirs recall the character of the mistress of the Little Trianon? |
32408 | Does the fate of Charles I. make him dread the beginning of civil war as the supreme danger? |
32408 | During all this time, what efforts had the Assembly made to put a stop to the murders? |
32408 | From which side did it come? |
32408 | Guadet thundered out:"Do you hear him? |
32408 | Had he not accepted the rank of lieutenant- general from the King, on June 30, 1791? |
32408 | Had not the Queen accorded him at that epoch the most flattering eulogies? |
32408 | Has the National Assembly two weights and measures, then? |
32408 | Have our enemies ceased their advance against our frontiers? |
32408 | Have you no cannon to sweep out this rabble?" |
32408 | Have you the right to deprive others of the pleasure of sharing your triumph? |
32408 | How came the Queen to be there? |
32408 | How could a woman so superior be expected to submit to the tyranny of polite usages? |
32408 | How could he sail against the stream? |
32408 | How did they respond to this conciliatory language? |
32408 | How has the army been able to deliberate?" |
32408 | How was it possible to remain faithful to a chief who was false to himself, who was more like a victim than a king? |
32408 | I ask if I am condemned to look on tranquilly while the assassins of my brother enter here?" |
32408 | In a week... how do I know what may happen? |
32408 | Is Lafayette the less a traitor?" |
32408 | Is he expecting foreign aid? |
32408 | Is he so benevolent, so gentle, that the least thought of repression is repugnant to him? |
32408 | Is it possible? |
32408 | Is the Queen afraid lest the Count d''Artois should arrogate an authority in the realm which would diminish her own? |
32408 | Is this an orgy, a masquerade? |
32408 | Is this the Queen of France and Navarre? |
32408 | Is this woman, confided to the care of an unknown servant, in this deserted old convent, really she? |
32408 | It is sought to change a day of rejoicing into a day of mourning.... What is it all about? |
32408 | It was in vain that Stanislas de Girardin cries,"Do the laws exist no longer, then?" |
32408 | Madame Elisabeth said:"Monsieur Roederer, do you answer for the King''s life?" |
32408 | Meantime what had become of Pétion, whose business it was, as mayor, to defend the palace? |
32408 | Monuments of weakness-- is not the expression worthy of the bombast of the time? |
32408 | On awaking, the Dauphin put this artless question to the Queen:"Mamma, is it yesterday still?" |
32408 | On his return from the United States, had he not been created major- general over the heads of a multitude of older officers? |
32408 | Once arrived at power, was this great enemy of nobility and prescription simple, and easy of approach? |
32408 | Optimists, how will your illusions terminate? |
32408 | Or, not content with their promenade to the Assembly, will they make another to the palace of the Tuileries? |
32408 | Ought he to take violent measures? |
32408 | Ought this divinity, so dear to Frenchmen, to find in its own temple those who rebel against its worship? |
32408 | Our internal troubles? |
32408 | People desiring to establish communication between those down stairs and those above, had been heard to cry:"Have they been struck down? |
32408 | Poor{ 72} woman, whose power will be so ephemeral, why do you make yourself a persecutor? |
32408 | Sometimes I do not understand myself, and am obliged to consider whether it is really I who am speaking; but what is to be done? |
32408 | The two municipal officers said to Hue and Chamilly:"Are you{ 344} the valets- de- chambre?" |
32408 | Then he asked:"Is the officer who commands the guard here?" |
32408 | They do not yet decide this other: Shall the armed citizens defile before the Assembly after they have been heard? |
32408 | They embrace, but are the court conspiracies coming to an end? |
32408 | They were not expected to lead themselves; that duty was imposed on others; have they fulfilled it?" |
32408 | This the daughter of the great Empress Maria Theresa? |
32408 | Thuriot exclaimed:"Are we expected to press an inquiry against forty thousand men?" |
32408 | Unable to comprehend the long- suffering of Louis XVI., he said in an indignant tone:"How could they have allowed this rabble to enter? |
32408 | Ungrateful nation, why dost thou not appreciate thy happiness? |
32408 | Was it not, moreover, a real satisfaction to the bourgeoisie to give power a lesson and humiliate a sovereign? |
32408 | Was it the Marseillais who provoked the combat? |
32408 | Was it the Swiss who sought to avenge their comrades, the sentries? |
32408 | Was not the first of all despotisms the very one to be shaken off? |
32408 | Was not this language like a prognostic of the 21st of January and the 16th of October? |
32408 | Was the dungeon of the Temple to be forced? |
32408 | Were not obscurity, repose, peace of heart, better for her than that fictitious glory which was to pass so quickly and end upon the scaffold? |
32408 | Were not three of them still in the Ministerial Council? |
32408 | What can they do if they are not united, encouraged, and led? |
32408 | What do all our mistrust and suspicions amount to? |
32408 | What figure could she have made at Versailles, or even at the Tuileries? |
32408 | What 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? |
32408 | What had happened on the day before Madame Elisabeth wrote this letter? |
32408 | What had happened? |
32408 | What had taken place at the Tuileries after the departure of the royal family for the Assembly? |
32408 | What had they to complain of, then? |
32408 | What has occurred since the day when Vergniaud, uttering such words as these, was frantically cheered? |
32408 | What have you come to do in the midst of these ferocious Jacobins, who flatter you to- day and will assassinate you to- morrow? |
32408 | What have you gained by your sentimental{ 247} jargon? |
32408 | What impression was made on her by this excursion to the royal palace? |
32408 | What influences formed this woman whose qualities were masculine? |
32408 | What interest have they in planning the murders? |
32408 | What is going to happen? |
32408 | What is going to happen? |
32408 | What is it he asks? |
32408 | What is necessary but good, honest common sense?" |
32408 | What is she afraid of, then? |
32408 | What is the use of discussing it?" |
32408 | What is to be done? |
32408 | What means of doing so could be found? |
32408 | What might not be feared from so many demoniacs, howling like cannibals? |
32408 | What must not these two keenly sensitive women have had to suffer at the epoch when France became a hell? |
32408 | What news will she yet learn? |
32408 | What powerful motives have brought him hither? |
32408 | What preparations have been made for its defence? |
32408 | What the devil are they doing down there? |
32408 | What was Madame Roland doing the next day, when the worst of the massacres were going on? |
32408 | What was lacking to the monarch to enable him to combine so many scattered elements into a solid group? |
32408 | What was to be done? |
32408 | What was to be the fate of the loyal and devoted servant, thus sacrificed to his master''s inexcusable weakness? |
32408 | What was to prevent this? |
32408 | What will become of my poor children?" |
32408 | What will the insurrectionary column do? |
32408 | What would be their fate if the measures you propose to me did not succeed?" |
32408 | When has there been more noise, more tumult, more movement, more unexpected or more varied scenes? |
32408 | When she recovered consciousness she was interrogated:"Who are you?" |
32408 | When will the men of the Commune render their accounts? |
32408 | Whence was drawn the inspiration of this siren, destined to be taken in her own snares and die the victim of her own incantations? |
32408 | Where are these honest men? |
32408 | Where find a point of vantage? |
32408 | While he still retained his sword, why did he leave it in the scabbard? |
32408 | Who are the accomplices of Danton and Marat in organizing the massacres? |
32408 | Who could say? |
32408 | Who dared, then, to pollute her joy? |
32408 | Who has fallen? |
32408 | Who has survived the carnage? |
32408 | Who knows? |
32408 | Who, at their dawning, could have predicted for them such an appalling night? |
32408 | Why did he not remember that it might launch thunderbolts? |
32408 | Why did that marplot, Danton, come with his untimely massacres to destroy such brilliant projects and banish such delightful dreams? |
32408 | Why had he garrisoned Paris insufficiently ever since the outbreak of the Revolution? |
32408 | Why had he not opposed the first persecutions aimed at the Church? |
32408 | Why had he not succeeded in being a king? |
32408 | Why had he pretended to approve acts and ideas which horrified him? |
32408 | Why had he suffered the Bastille to be taken, encouraged the emigration, and disbanded his bodyguards? |
32408 | Why have you quitted these honest people? |
32408 | Why is it so slow in bringing down the sword of the law upon the heads of the guilty? |
32408 | Why labor so relentlessly to shake the foundations of a throne that will bury you beneath its ruins? |
32408 | Why this long misunderstanding between him and his people? |
32408 | Why were these two women political adversaries? |
32408 | Why, 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? |
32408 | Why? |
32408 | Will the armed citizens return peaceably to their homes? |
32408 | Will the time never arrive when ministers shall cease to betray us? |
32408 | Will you cause the massacre of the King, your children, and your servants?" |
32408 | Will you disgrace your flags?" |
32408 | With such an Assembly, why should the insurrectionists have hesitated? |
32408 | Would not so perilous a mission intimidate even the most heroic? |
32408 | Would not this cry of Madame Roland in her captivity suit Marie Antoinette as well? |
32408 | Would resistance have been possible even at this moment; that is to say, between seven and eight in the morning? |
32408 | You will carry your head to the scaffold, and, optimist to the end, you will say:"What is the guillotine? |
32408 | added:"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?" |
32408 | and for whom? |
32408 | and the Queen, that"two illustrious heads"should be brought to trial? |
32408 | and undeceives them by naming her.--"Why did you not allow them to believe I am the Queen?" |
32408 | and what did you say?" |
32408 | anxiously.--"They are prisoners at the Force,"returned Manuel.--"What are they going to do with the only servant I have left?" |
32408 | asked Santerre;"what is she crying about?" |
32408 | be struck by a ball or by a poniard? |
32408 | call to mind that he was the commander- in- chief of the army? |
32408 | cried Bertrand de Molleville,"does Your Majesty believe that you will be assassinated?" |
32408 | elect to deprive himself of his minister''s aid? |
32408 | fully comprehend that for soldiers like these such an outrage was a hundred times worse than death? |
32408 | go amongst his soldiers? |
32408 | he spitefully exclaimed,"did they spare the Queen that impression? |
32408 | humanitarian abbé, rose- water revolutionist, of what avail is your democratic holy water? |
32408 | said to him:"It seems there is a great deal of commotion?" |
32408 | what are personal dangers to a King whom men are seeking to deprive of his people''s love? |
32408 | what do your dreams of evangelical philosophy and universal brotherhood amount to? |
32408 | what need is there of discussion when everybody is of the same mind? |
32408 | when shall I breathe pure air and those soft exhalations so agreeable to my heart?" |
32408 | when the invasion begins? |
32408 | { 393} Is not history, with its perpetual alternatives of license and despotism, like a vicious circle? |
7054 | And what was your project? |
7054 | And where will it be necessary to send the ambassador of the Pope? 7054 Are you compromised?" |
7054 | Are you confident of victory? |
7054 | Art thou already king, that thou canst thus dispense pardon? |
7054 | But if the Dnieper is not frozen, what shall we do? |
7054 | By what right do you do this? |
7054 | Difficult it may be,replied the First Consul to the report of Marescot,"but is it possible?" |
7054 | Do people take us for children? |
7054 | Do they expect to draw us aside with these declamations against the emigrants, the Chouans, and the priests? 7054 Had you many people with you?" |
7054 | Happy for the Republic,it was said,"if Bonaparte were immortal? |
7054 | Has the emperor the right to meddle in those matters? |
7054 | Have you any money? |
7054 | How is it now with us? |
7054 | How is it they have dared to say that France is arming? 7054 I suppose you want to speak about Piedmont and Switzerland? |
7054 | If 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?" |
7054 | In the meantime what will happen? 7054 Is submission to the government of France a dogma of the Church? |
7054 | Must 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?" |
7054 | Of what nature were your means of attack? |
7054 | Of what use are those in the country? |
7054 | Shall 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?" |
7054 | The Pope? 7054 The senators, if they were allowed to do it, would go on to absorb the Corps Législatif, and, who knows? |
7054 | Was liberty then always to be shown to man without his being able to enjoy it? 7054 What colleagues will they give me?" |
7054 | What did you come to do in Paris? |
7054 | What did you have to do with Russia? |
7054 | What do they want of me? |
7054 | What do you think about it, Mouton? |
7054 | What is become of them? |
7054 | What is it in the decree that most displeases the bishops? |
7054 | What were your means? |
7054 | What would you have? |
7054 | When was it discovered that the dangers of Jacobinism cease to exist? |
7054 | Where did you count on finding this force? |
7054 | Where is Hardy? |
7054 | Who 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?" |
7054 | Who are you? 7054 Who nominated you?" |
7054 | Who would leave such brave men? |
7054 | Whom do you wish? |
7054 | Why does the Emperor Alexander make war on me? 7054 Why have you quitted Holland?" |
7054 | Why,he wrote to Fouché,"should you not engage M. Raynouard to make a tragedy on the transition from the first to the second race? |
7054 | Yes, more than you are aware of; but, finally, what are your orders? |
7054 | You do not then think him strong? |
7054 | You have left Europe, as it were, have you not? |
7054 | You hear, soldiers? |
7054 | ''Where is the officer?'' |
7054 | ''Who is there?'' |
7054 | Advancing towards the admiral,"Of what pamphlets do you speak?" |
7054 | After all that we have done for him, ought we to expect such treatment?" |
7054 | And as a young officer stepped out of the ranks,"Has any one here a pair of scissors?" |
7054 | And as timid objections began to manifest themselves in the assembly,"What, messieurs?" |
7054 | And how, after that, can he think of commanding my troops, since he has perjured his oaths?" |
7054 | And now, what is your object in coming here? |
7054 | And these two consuls? |
7054 | And why should the emperor be provoked at it? |
7054 | And without listening to the pacific protestations of the prince,"Why, then, these immense preparations? |
7054 | Are we no longer the soldiers of Austerlitz? |
7054 | Are you ignorant of the fact that it is your culpable pretensions which drove Luther and Calvin to separate from Rome half the Catholic world? |
7054 | As to Eylau, I have said and resaid that the bulletin exaggerated the loss; and, for a great battle, what are 2000 men slain? |
7054 | Barclay, who can manoeuvre, who is brave, who knows war, but who is a superannuated general? |
7054 | Because there are still a few partial attempts in Vendée, must we be called upon to declare the country in danger? |
7054 | Benningsen, who is old and only recalls to him frightful memories? |
7054 | Besides, why destroy one of the finest towns of the world, and the work of ages, to accomplish so paltry an object? |
7054 | But must I commence proscribing for a quality? |
7054 | But what matters it to England? |
7054 | But where are his successors? |
7054 | But where would she find her allies? |
7054 | But who attacks you, to make you think so much of defence? |
7054 | But who has given him the right to do so? |
7054 | But why spill so much blood? |
7054 | Can I count upon you? |
7054 | Can the waters of the Danube have acquired the property of the river Lethe?" |
7054 | Do conspirators openly find fault with that which they do not approve? |
7054 | Do you not know, gentlemen, members of the council, that excepting two or three you all pass for royalists? |
7054 | Do you think that serious men would be able to lend themselves to such shams?" |
7054 | Do you think that we were as brave in''92 as we are to- day, after fifteen years of warfare? |
7054 | Does Austria wish to keep Galicia? |
7054 | Does it imagine that for the French Government reciprocity will be difficult? |
7054 | Does it not know that the French Government is now more firmly established than the English Government? |
7054 | Does not the law of retaliation permit me to do to Brunswick what he wanted to do to my capital? |
7054 | Does she wish to treat openly or secretly? |
7054 | From the depths of the tomb shall it be born again to life? |
7054 | Have not all our relations together been extremely amicable? |
7054 | Have not the Genevans done us harm enough?" |
7054 | Have we not seen your allies waiting for succor more than a year, without receiving it?" |
7054 | He is only general on parade: whom will he put against me? |
7054 | How could you bring the Prince de la Paix to trial without including with him the queen, and your father the king? |
7054 | How dare you ask a capitulation, you who violated that of Baylen? |
7054 | How do you think they could agree? |
7054 | How has the emperor acted? |
7054 | If I appoint you King of Spain, do you agree? |
7054 | If they have acted by the king''s order, what must I think of that prince? |
7054 | In 1789, his pamphlet,"What is the Third Estate?" |
7054 | Is he jealous of the growth of France? |
7054 | Is it Prussia, whose spoils you accepted at Tilsit after being her ally?" |
7054 | Is it Sweden, from whom you took Finland? |
7054 | Is it because a Roman priest has excommunicated me? |
7054 | Is it the destruction of revolutionary principles? |
7054 | Is it the form of the French Government, which is not hereditary but simply elective? |
7054 | Is it the interests of religion and of the Church? |
7054 | Is not all peaceful around you? |
7054 | Is that prince become quite mad? |
7054 | Is there no other means of arriving at a mutual understanding? |
7054 | Kutusof, whom he does not like, because he is too Russian? |
7054 | Let me know if the constitution forbids the King of Spain to be at the head of 300,000 Frenchmen? |
7054 | May I write to say that they can reckon on your sister? |
7054 | Must I send Citizen Portalis to Sinnamari, and Citizen Devaisne to Madagascar, and then must I make for myself a Babeuf council? |
7054 | Must I send away into exile 10,000 old men, who only ask to be allowed to live peaceably in obedience to the established laws? |
7054 | Must I strike these because they are priests, those because they are old nobles? |
7054 | Now we have arrived at this point: Do you want peace or war? |
7054 | Ought your Majesty then to leave this new prey to be devoured by the English? |
7054 | She alone is worthy of him, why should he be afraid of her? |
7054 | She wishes to frighten me?..." |
7054 | Since the peace of Presburg, has there been the slightest disagreement between you and me? |
7054 | The English embark in force; what do they want? |
7054 | The Spanish alone had resisted him successfully; how were they to keep up and continue the resistance? |
7054 | The emperor advanced suddenly towards him:"Austria wishes, then, to make war against us? |
7054 | The emperor called Murat:"Wilt thou let us be annihilated by these people?" |
7054 | The emperor, coming up to him, exclaimed,"Do you know where Villeneuve is? |
7054 | The liberty of the negroes? |
7054 | The prince responded with bitter irony,"Your protection? |
7054 | To what end? |
7054 | War is then made between us, the alliance broken forever; but why make our subjects kill each other? |
7054 | Was it ceaselessly offered for his desires, like a fruit to which he could not stretch forth his hand without being in danger of death? |
7054 | Was the intention to deprive us of some resources? |
7054 | What advantage should I derive from making war? |
7054 | What are the Emperor Alexander''s intentions? |
7054 | What can you desire? |
7054 | What did our own Charles V. do in Germany and Italy, and in Spain itself? |
7054 | What did they say? |
7054 | What does England do.--this ally so powerful? |
7054 | What inconvenience if somehow or other you appear yourself? |
7054 | What inconvenience will there be in the Pope being subject to me, now that Europe knows no other master?" |
7054 | What kind of letter, M. Morla, did you write to that general? |
7054 | What might be the effect of an exchange of such insults-- of this protection and this encouragement accorded to assassins?" |
7054 | What punishment can be inflicted on him?" |
7054 | What right had you, on other grounds, to use such language? |
7054 | What shall be taught to the young ladies who are to be educated at Écouen? |
7054 | What then can those in the cabinet of your Majesty allege in favor of the continuation of hostilities? |
7054 | What trouble is there in putting my strongholds, Antwerp, Ostend, and Lille, in a state of siege? |
7054 | What trouble is there in raising 60,000 of the national guard? |
7054 | What trouble is there in sending the Prince of Pontecorvo to take the command there, where there is nobody? |
7054 | What will she do when Portugal shall be taken? |
7054 | What? |
7054 | When 25,000 English are attacking our dockyards and threatening our provinces, is the ministry doing nothing? |
7054 | When do you set out?" |
7054 | Who can, here below, relieve subjects from their oath of obedience to the sovereign instituted by the laws? |
7054 | Who is the successor of Pericles? |
7054 | Who 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?" |
7054 | Who thinks of killing him,_ bon Dieu_? |
7054 | Why do they not counsel your Majesty to make war on the English, the Muscovites, and the Prussians? |
7054 | Why does she think we are degenerated? |
7054 | Why have you not informed the_ préfets_?" |
7054 | Why? |
7054 | Will she go to seize Brazil? |
7054 | Will they refuse it me at the extremity of Europe, 500 leagues from my native land?" |
7054 | With a naval war? |
7054 | With what war could they threaten us? |
7054 | Without capital, without income, without money, what can I do? |
7054 | Would England stir up a continental war? |
7054 | Would 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? |
7054 | Would she cede a part of it? |
7054 | Would you believe it that, in this interval, he has never changed his shirt, and has a beard seven inches long? |
7054 | Would you sacrifice the cause of sovereigns and of all fathers, and permit an outrage to be done to the majesty of the throne? |
7054 | Yet what would be said in Paris? |
7054 | You, Citizen Defermon, do n''t they take you for a partisan of the Bourbons? |
7054 | Your 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? |
7054 | and what do you want here?" |
7054 | cried he,"what will be said of us who counselled our prince to come hither?" |
7054 | if the constitution prohibits the garrison from being French, and the governor of Madrid a Frenchman? |
7054 | if the constitution says that in Saragossa the houses are to be blown up one after another? |
7054 | said Napoleon;"and what is going on over there?" |
7054 | said he,"would you want to make me a pig in a dunghill?" |
7054 | to Berlin, to Warsaw, to St. Petersburg? |
7054 | what would become of France during that long absence, without possible communication? |
7054 | whence draw their war supplies, having nothing but provisions for a short time? |
7054 | where could they rally? |
7054 | where transport their wounded? |
7054 | would a hero surrounded with so much glory descend to the basest of perfidies?" |
7054 | wrote Aviau, Bishop of Bordeaux, to one of his friends;"who has given him the mission? |
36043 | ''Are there any Federals here?'' 36043 And there are many dead?" |
36043 | And who would have fed my family when the workshop and factory were closed? |
36043 | And you? 36043 Are you numerous enough? |
36043 | Bouverat, why did you join the_ Pupilles de la Commune_? |
36043 | But do you not know the law? |
36043 | But what is your programme? |
36043 | But, after all, are you then resolved to sacrifice Paris? |
36043 | But, in fine,said Clémenceau,"what are your pretensions? |
36043 | Cagnoncle, you were_ Enfant de la Commune_? |
36043 | Did not that money burn your hands? |
36043 | Did not we do them? 36043 Did you discharge many shots?" |
36043 | Did you take arms? 36043 Druet,"said the soldier,"what did your father do?" |
36043 | Have you a few thousand resolute men? |
36043 | How many children were there of you? |
36043 | Is this a reason,Digeon answered in a placard,"to lower before force this red flag dyed in the blood of our martyrs? |
36043 | Lescot, why did you leave your mother? |
36043 | We beg your pardon, and how about the communal institutions of 1791? |
36043 | Well, what did we tell you? |
36043 | What are you about at Versailles when Versailles is bombarding Paris? |
36043 | What are you waiting for? 36043 What are your intentions?" |
36043 | What authority have you at Paris? 36043 What does Paris demand?" |
36043 | What figure can you cut in the midst of these colleagues who assassinate your electors? 36043 What has the Commune decided?" |
36043 | When did you see him? |
36043 | Where are they? |
36043 | Where are you going? |
36043 | Where find 9,000 artillerists? |
36043 | Where is my father? 36043 Who are you?" |
36043 | Who are you? |
36043 | Who condemns us? |
36043 | Who 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? |
36043 | Who has named you? |
36043 | Who sent you? |
36043 | Whose books are these? |
36043 | Why did you leave your family? |
36043 | Why did you not work like him? |
36043 | Why have you shut up these women? |
36043 | Why,another was asked,"did you remain when all the battalion ran away?" |
36043 | Why? |
36043 | With whom should they treat in Paris? |
36043 | You are audacious,said he;"do you know that this platoon is here to shoot you?" |
36043 | You fought at Issy, at Neuilly? 36043 You have been arrested for vagrancy?" |
36043 | You have been wounded? |
36043 | You? |
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? |
36043 | And indeed, would not the provinces hasten to their rescue, as in June, 1848? |
36043 | And my wife, my children?" |
36043 | And now, was Paris to submit to the entry of the Prussians, to let them parade her boulevards? |
36043 | And proletarians without political education, without administration, without money, how could they be able"to steer their bark"? |
36043 | And these, gentlemen, believe me, were carried off by citizens devoted to order, the National Guards of Passy and Auteuil, and taken where? |
36043 | And we, what are we doing here instead of imitating him?" |
36043 | And when did foreigners show such fury? |
36043 | And why? |
36043 | And your Convention, did not it first act in the very midst of the hurricane? |
36043 | Are not interments in churches formally prohibited? |
36043 | As he pleaded the rights of the Assembly they put him to the test;"Do you recognise the Central Committee?" |
36043 | At 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? |
36043 | Because of the incapacity of the chiefs ought the soldiers to desert their flag? |
36043 | Besides, are not these judgments already judged? |
36043 | Besides, with whom could one treat in Paris? |
36043 | Bourgeois, was it not in sight of the foreigner that your ancestor Etienne Marcel tried to remake France? |
36043 | But how to draw up indictments against 36,000 prisoners? |
36043 | But our enemies, are they yours also?" |
36043 | But was this a time to legislate when the cannon ruled supreme? |
36043 | But what cared he for the fate of a few priests and a few gendarmes? |
36043 | But what signified this decree, improvised at random, without a preliminary declaration and without a sequel? |
36043 | But what signified this word Committee of Public Safety, this parody of the past and scarecrow of boobies? |
36043 | But what was to be expected of men who had not even been able to pluck up sufficient courage to wrench Paris from Trochu? |
36043 | But where to find cannon? |
36043 | But who then thought of the elections? |
36043 | But who, then, has commenced the war? |
36043 | By whom? |
36043 | Can you believe that I could for a single moment harbour the thought of leaving Monseigneur alone here?" |
36043 | Communists, Bonapartists, or Prussians? |
36043 | Could it be that the Government intended withdrawing some Parisians out of the clutches of the Assembly? |
36043 | Did he bring a great political revolution? |
36043 | Did it shed light upon the mysteries of the caves of Picpus, the skeletons of St. Laurent? |
36043 | Did it then possess the secret of victory? |
36043 | Did practical instinct make up for want of science on the part of the delegation? |
36043 | Did the men of the 4th September, yes or no, betray the mandate they received? |
36043 | Did the new delegate at least bring a powerful military conception? |
36043 | Did you serve the Commune? |
36043 | Do you at last recognise this Paris, seven times shot down since 1789, and always ready to rise for the salvation of France? |
36043 | Do you confine your mandate to asking the Assembly for a municipal council?" |
36043 | Do you hear, members of the Commune? |
36043 | Do you then believe that every one approves what is done here? |
36043 | Do you think that the adoption of a bill would disarm the party of brigands, the party of assassins?" |
36043 | Do you understand, workingmen, you who are free? |
36043 | Does not the Boulevard Voltaire still hold out? |
36043 | FOOTNOTES:[ 63] 3rd arrondissement, A. Genotal; 4th, Alavoine; 5th, Manet; 6th, V. Frontier; 7th, Badois; 8th, Morterol? |
36043 | Faltot sent us a note in these words:''I have five or six battalions in the Rue de Sèvres; what am I to do?'' |
36043 | He 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?" |
36043 | He listened to the recital without ceasing to write, and then only asked,"How did they die?" |
36043 | He said to me,''Why?'' |
36043 | He said to us,"What is true in all the rumours bruited about?" |
36043 | Her streets free during the day, are they less safe in the silence of the night? |
36043 | Here the conservatives of 1848 gave vent to their rage; but what was their fury compared with that of 1871? |
36043 | How did it happen that those 60,000 men, so clear- sighted, prompt, and energetic, could not manage to direct public opinion? |
36043 | How disarm 100,000 men with this mob? |
36043 | How fly without money and without confederates? |
36043 | How had this subterranean vegetation contrived to pierce and overgrow the summit of the country? |
36043 | How many live to- day? |
36043 | How many months, years, are we still to pass in this bagnio? |
36043 | How many were there at mid- day? |
36043 | How much did you take?" |
36043 | How select amongst this pick of bestiality? |
36043 | How to justify this savagery? |
36043 | I addressed myself to him, and said,''You are Millière?'' |
36043 | I said to him,''You persist?'' |
36043 | If she dies, what life remains to you? |
36043 | If some member of the Council came to rouse him,"What are you doing? |
36043 | If they dread the giddy- headed, the fanatics, or compromising collaborators, why do they not take the direction of the movement into their own hands? |
36043 | If they wished by the appointment of a delegate to concentrate the military power, why not dissolve the Central Committee? |
36043 | In 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? |
36043 | Is it he who is meant? |
36043 | Is it necessary to add that from the 3rd April to the 23rd May the Federals did not shoot_ one single_ prisoner, officer or soldier? |
36043 | Is it not for the people to at last do justice to that great Polish race which all French governments have betrayed? |
36043 | Is it not the duty of the Commune to expose these illegal proceedings, which are perhaps crimes? |
36043 | Is not this the revolution of all proletarians? |
36043 | Is the Bastille taken? |
36043 | Janvier, Bertalon(? |
36043 | M. Thiers made a decided gesture:"What does it matter to me?" |
36043 | Many had never been seen at the Hôtel- de- Ville; others wrung their hands, lamenting,"Where are we going?" |
36043 | Many too said,"Who are these unknown men?" |
36043 | No doubt my accent, the elegance of my clothes, struck him, for he added,''Have you any papers?'' |
36043 | On the 19th March, what remained to M. Thiers wherewith to govern France? |
36043 | One 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?" |
36043 | The Government ever ready to negotiate, or the men ever offering a desperate resistance? |
36043 | The agitators, the revolutionists of La Corderie, the Socialists? |
36043 | The author wittily adds,"What the devil was this imbecile solicitous about?" |
36043 | The bourgeoisie, which has accomplished its emancipation, does it not understand that now the time for the emancipation of the proletariat is come? |
36043 | The chassepots were being levelled, when a member of the Council said,"What are you doing? |
36043 | The day before, the general, receiving the order to evacuate the forts, had answered,"Is it treachery or a misunderstanding? |
36043 | The workingmen, those who produce everything and enjoy nothing, are they then for ever to be exposed to outrage? |
36043 | Then M. Thiers gave those drones a lesson they richly deserved:"What would be the use of concessions?" |
36043 | They surrounded the mitrailleuses, apostrophized the sergeant in command of the gun, saying,"This is shameful; what are you doing there?" |
36043 | To another:"You served in the battalions of the Commune?" |
36043 | Was a_ personnel_ wanting? |
36043 | Was he wanting in authority? |
36043 | Was it by a foreign enemy exercising the rights of war? |
36043 | Was 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? |
36043 | Was it treason? |
36043 | Was not your Government in the same situation? |
36043 | Were it not better to put it off till to- morrow?" |
36043 | Were they to give in, their arms intact? |
36043 | What are they doing here amongst these brave men? |
36043 | What bourgeoisie in the world after such immense disasters would not with careful heed have tended such a reservoir of living force? |
36043 | What can Versailles do against 100,000 men? |
36043 | What did they answer? |
36043 | What did they want? |
36043 | What does it matter? |
36043 | What does the French peasant know of his fatherland, and how many could say where Alsace lies? |
36043 | What else is wanted to conquer? |
36043 | What finer cause to begin with for a young man? |
36043 | What forces and what plan did the Commune oppose? |
36043 | What had it done for a week past? |
36043 | What had the Central Committee done but follow the people and occupy the deserted Hôtel- de- Ville? |
36043 | What had the National Guards done but answer a nocturnal aggression, taken back cannon paid for by themselves? |
36043 | What has the Central Committee done in answer to these attacks? |
36043 | What indeed could be said against this new- born power whose first word was its own abdication? |
36043 | What is the small middle- class contributing now? |
36043 | What mattered it? |
36043 | What mattered their obscurity? |
36043 | What mean these partial sorties which are never sustained? |
36043 | What might not the brave men of Neuilly, Asnières, Issy, Vanves, Cachan, have done at the Panthéon and Montmartre? |
36043 | What might not these 15,000 men, uselessly sacrificed outside the town, have done within Paris? |
36043 | What motive induced the foreigner to intervene? |
36043 | What rebellion had been thus armed? |
36043 | What should we do? |
36043 | What signified this sinister masquerade? |
36043 | What sovereign has ever abandoned power without carrying off millions? |
36043 | What then is their aim? |
36043 | What was the action of the Council in reply to this appeal to treason? |
36043 | What was the state of the provinces? |
36043 | What was the use of this tall talking? |
36043 | What was their crime? |
36043 | What were to be the powers of that central delegation, the reciprocal obligations of the Communes? |
36043 | What will become of my mother?" |
36043 | What woman perished or was insulted? |
36043 | What, then, was the governor of the Ecole about? |
36043 | When asked,"Of what armies were you general?" |
36043 | When he repudiates all method, who will listen to reason? |
36043 | When the Minister of War thus stigmatises all discipline, who will henceforth obey? |
36043 | When the bourgeois, who make all laws, always act illegally, how are the workmen to proceed, against whom all the laws are made? |
36043 | Where are their Jacobins, even their Cordeliers? |
36043 | Where are they to stop? |
36043 | Where is her programme, say you? |
36043 | Where is the engineer- in- chief who had said that at his bidding an abyss would open and swallow up the enemy? |
36043 | Where is your second enceinte? |
36043 | Where my husband? |
36043 | Who are the members of this Committee? |
36043 | Who are these officers who have laid aside their uniforms, these members of the Council, these functionaries who have shaved their beards? |
36043 | Who attacked Paris on the 18th March? |
36043 | Who attacked her on the 2nd April? |
36043 | Who does not know what the provinces contributed in blood and sinew to the great town? |
36043 | Who ever ill- treated a prisoner in the Paris of the Commune? |
36043 | Who had began the civil war, attacked first? |
36043 | Who has always repulsed them? |
36043 | Who has spoken of conciliation, multiplied attempts at peace? |
36043 | Who is more odious, he who believes he is killing an"insolent,"or he who knows that he is killing a martyr? |
36043 | Who save Paris will stifle the clerical monster? |
36043 | Who served the enemy? |
36043 | Who speaks, who applauds thus? |
36043 | Who then spoke of civil war? |
36043 | Who then was to feed Paris if not the provinces? |
36043 | Who then will dare to blame the Federals for having resisted the army of Versailles as they would have the Prussians? |
36043 | Who was the culprit? |
36043 | Who was the great conspirator against Paris? |
36043 | Who was to save our peasants if not Paris? |
36043 | Who were these men? |
36043 | Who were they? |
36043 | Who will avenge these hecatombs of unknown men, executed in silence, like the last combatants of the Père Lachaise in the darkness of the night? |
36043 | Who will form the platoon?" |
36043 | Who will save thee? |
36043 | Who would listen to you at the Hôtel- de- Ville? |
36043 | Who, save Paris, will have strength enough to continue the Revolution? |
36043 | Who, then, will speak for the people? |
36043 | Why did they not hold their sittings at the Muette or under the eyes of the public? |
36043 | Why did you accept this"absurd"situation with which you were thoroughly conversant? |
36043 | Why 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? |
36043 | Why did you make no conditions on entering the Ministry on the 1st April, no condition to the Council on the 2nd and 3rd May? |
36043 | Why did you send away at least 7,000 men this morning, when you pretend not to have"the smallest military force"at your disposal? |
36043 | Why has no work been done at Montmartre and the Panthéon? |
36043 | Why is the National Guard hardly armed, unorganized, withheld from every military action? |
36043 | Why is the casting of cannon not proceeded with? |
36043 | Why not forge arms under the eye of the enemy? |
36043 | Why, then, does it persist in refusing the proletariat its legitimate share?" |
36043 | Will they help us? |
36043 | Will they still say that we are a handful of malcontents?" |
36043 | Will you aid us, and proceed with us to consult the elections? |
36043 | Will you proceed to make the elections?" |
36043 | Will you take upon yourselves the responsibility of these assassinations?" |
36043 | With what is it occupying itself? |
36043 | Yet the Committee might well say,"Which have rallied?" |
36043 | You have, say you? |
36043 | You 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? |
36043 | and my son? |
36043 | and what do you think of the way I managed the business?" |
36043 | for life? |
36043 | is n''t this a jolly vintage?'' |
36043 | is this your answer when thousands of Frenchmen come to offer you their lives and fortunes?" |
36043 | these words, do they not burn your lips? |
36043 | you want to return to the follies of our fathers?" |
36043 | you would dare fire on the people?" |
18094 | A congress has just been spoken of,said he;"what, then, is this conspiracy formed against us? |
18094 | And why not? |
18094 | Are there circumstances,said he"in which the natural rights of man can permit a nation to adopt any measure against emigrations?" |
18094 | But do you not see,resumed Isnard;"that all counter- revolutionists are obstinate, and leave you no other part than that of vanquishing them? |
18094 | But 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? |
18094 | Do 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? |
18094 | Does 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? |
18094 | Frenchmen,exclaimed he,"will you, a nation of brave men, become a people of murderers?" |
18094 | Has your majesty any orders to give me? |
18094 | How can the republic hope to avoid destruction? 18094 Hussars,"exclaimed he, imprudently,"are you for the nation or the king?" |
18094 | Is 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? |
18094 | Is then the blood that flows so pure? |
18094 | My pardon,said she;"at what price can you purchase it? |
18094 | Perhaps,added Gensonné,"this idea has germinated in France? |
18094 | Sir,replied the queen, with a look of incredulity,"is it necessary then to be a prince in order to pretend to the throne?" |
18094 | Such 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? |
18094 | We 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? |
18094 | What do these men mean? |
18094 | What do they call that hymn? |
18094 | What harm have they done you? |
18094 | What has been the result of the decree of yesterday? |
18094 | What have I to fear in the midst of my people? |
18094 | What is it,exclaimed Robespierre,"that the committees propose to us? |
18094 | What means this obsequious exception? |
18094 | Where is the_ veto_? |
18094 | Who is the dastard who himself in order to insult the grief of a brother? |
18094 | Who knows,said he, to M. de Malesherbes, with a melancholy smile,"whether I shall behold the sun set to- morrow?" |
18094 | Why do we see this ferocity among the_ intrigants_ against Robespierre? |
18094 | Why do you complain? |
18094 | Why these unusual honours, and this reply of the president to the minister? |
18094 | Why,asked Brissot"should we divide ourselves into dangerous denominations? |
18094 | Why,returned Guadet,"do you talk of disobedience to the law, when you have so often disobeyed it yourself? |
18094 | Would you imply that the_ bonnet_ of patriots is a disgraceful mark for a king''s brow? |
18094 | You are going to the army? |
18094 | ''What,''the court asked itself,''is the aim of all these men? |
18094 | A few factious? |
18094 | Against whom think you that you have to strive? |
18094 | Ah, what crime had these females, these massacred babes, committed? |
18094 | All inquired what was the secret of the growing ascendency of this man? |
18094 | Am I guilty of the extravagance of such an excited writer as Marat?" |
18094 | Amidst all these events, so favourable to a factious man, what was my behaviour? |
18094 | Amongst what people should I be received? |
18094 | And Delissart, who is he? |
18094 | And at what moment do they throw division amongst us? |
18094 | And have you calculated the blood they will cost you to obtain? |
18094 | And how could the ministers and ambassadors of the Revolution have been ignorant of its existence? |
18094 | And if there were no Brutus, where is the man who has ten times the ability of Cromwell? |
18094 | And the high court of Orleans,"continued Huguenin,"what is that doing?--where are the heads of those it should have doomed to death?" |
18094 | And the minister for foreign affairs, who is he? |
18094 | And when I forget mine, can any one remember his perils? |
18094 | Are politicians theologians? |
18094 | Are they ministers of the Catholic worship? |
18094 | Are you then ignorant that a priest can effect more mischief than all your enemies? |
18094 | Besides, is not war the hope of the enemies of the Revolution? |
18094 | Brissot opened the question as Pétion had done at the preceding sitting,"_ Can a perjured king be brought to trial_(_ jugé_)? |
18094 | But if you do not make use of it, will not more blood flow? |
18094 | But what should these measures be? |
18094 | But where is he? |
18094 | But, because exceptional, are these laws therefore unjust? |
18094 | By what fatality did Brissot find himself there? |
18094 | Can knights of the poignard be any thing but the enrolled assassins of the people? |
18094 | Can patience endure this without becoming guilty of suicide? |
18094 | Can this venal race resist such arguments?" |
18094 | Can we hesitate to attack them? |
18094 | Can you see any guilt in them? |
18094 | Could there have been such injurious suspicions against you in July, 1791? |
18094 | Did Cato and Cicero accuse Cethegus or Catiline? |
18094 | Did Cato and Cicero proceed against Cethegus or Catiline? |
18094 | Did Laclos and Sillery, who were about to seek a throne for the Duc d''Orleans their master, in the faubourgs, distribute his gold there? |
18094 | Do we then pretend to be the first nation which has no dregs? |
18094 | Do you believe that Cromwell himself would have succeeded in a revolution like ours? |
18094 | Do you know any price on earth capable of purchasing it?" |
18094 | Do you know who are its bitterest enemies? |
18094 | Do you know why? |
18094 | Do you not see that specie is disappearing and assignats are discredited? |
18094 | Do 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? |
18094 | Do you require from me any other sacrifice? |
18094 | Does not this contrast alarm you? |
18094 | Does the state recognise any other Catholicity than its own? |
18094 | Forfeiture for the national utility, and that of the human race, was evidently one of its principles, and yet how did it act? |
18094 | Frenchmen, was this the result you looked for from your regeneration? |
18094 | Had we alone kept our king to expose him to the insults and derision of the people''s representatives? |
18094 | Has not this the appearance of a vast plan combined by treason?" |
18094 | Have I ever professed such principles? |
18094 | Have I ever unknowingly done you any injury or offence?" |
18094 | Have I not been, since my acceptance of the constitution, more faithful than the malcontents themselves to my oath?" |
18094 | Have I not chosen patriots for ministers? |
18094 | Have I not rejected succour from without? |
18094 | Have I not repudiated my brothers, and hindered, as far as in me lies, the coalition, and armed the frontiers? |
18094 | Have not I too my sorrows? |
18094 | Have not the relatives of the king, who still remain in Paris, constantly displayed the purest patriotism? |
18094 | Have they not themselves abjured all their titles for one only-- that of citizen? |
18094 | Have those who have planned them, well weighed this? |
18094 | Have we then laboured at the most glorious of revolutions for so many years to see it overthrown in a single day? |
18094 | Have you then two scales of weights and measures? |
18094 | He was asked,"How did you receive it?" |
18094 | How can order be again established if those interested in it abandon it by abandoning themselves? |
18094 | How can the citizens fear you, when the impunity of their chiefs insures their own? |
18094 | How can we inscribe on the banners of this fête,_ Bouillé is alone guilty_? |
18094 | How can you escape Antony?" |
18094 | How comes it that the king in his proclamation uses the same language as yourself? |
18094 | How long have a protector or a protectorate been talked of? |
18094 | How long shall we suffer ourselves to be fatigued by these manoeuvres-- to be outraged by these hopes? |
18094 | How shall we be looked upon? |
18094 | How, then, is the honour of Paris interested in_ fêting_ the murderers of our brothers? |
18094 | However, is it not possible to suppose that there are patriots amongst them? |
18094 | I ask you, whether the king demanded a decree to regulate the etiquette of his household when he received your deputation? |
18094 | I said to my comrade,''Guillaume, are you a good patriot?'' |
18094 | If liberty slumbers, how can the arm act? |
18094 | If the head sleeps, shall the arm act? |
18094 | If 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?" |
18094 | If your armies combat abroad, who will repress faction at home? |
18094 | In whose hands are arms? |
18094 | Is it a question of preservation, of reproduction, of development in that kind of slow and insensible growth which people have like vast vegetables? |
18094 | Is it for the National Assembly to reunite the divided sects, and weigh all their differences? |
18094 | Is it not he who has for two months kept in his portfolio the decree of the reunion of Avignon with France? |
18094 | Is it those you would thus brand? |
18094 | Is not civil war a still greater misfortune? |
18094 | Is not the head of the people worth that of kings? |
18094 | Is not the truth already sufficiently guilty because it is the truth? |
18094 | Is this man less redoubtable because he is at this time at the head of the army? |
18094 | It 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? |
18094 | It is true that the magistrates demand force to put them down: but what should you do in such circumstances? |
18094 | La Fayette have been torn to pieces as a traitor, and the national guard disbanded? |
18094 | Let civic crowns strew your paths, though we remain; but where shall we find a Brutus?" |
18094 | Let us say to him, Behold the most powerful throne in the universe-- will you accept it? |
18094 | Mahometans to invoke their prophet? |
18094 | Moreover, in what state would Paris be? |
18094 | Must the blood of patriots flow with impunity to satisfy the pride and ambition of the perfidious château of the Tuileries? |
18094 | Must we pay consciences which push them to the extremity of crime against their country? |
18094 | Of what consequence is it that one religion differs from another? |
18094 | Oh you who use such language, why were you not in the Roman senate when Cicero denounced Catiline? |
18094 | On whom can we demand revenge? |
18094 | Ought we not to pardon the circumstances? |
18094 | Ought you now to ally yourself to the enemies or the friends of the constitution? |
18094 | Poor Brissot, thou art the victim of a court valet, of a base hypocrite!--why lend thy paw to La Fayette? |
18094 | Pour qui ces ignobles entraves Ces fers dès longtemps preparés? |
18094 | Que veut cette horde d''esclaves, De traîtres, de rois conjurés? |
18094 | Shall we await the signal of the court? |
18094 | Shall we be commanded by these patricians, these eternal favourites of despotism, in this war against aristocrats and kings? |
18094 | Soldiers of Châteauvieux, where are you? |
18094 | Such a course would be the contradiction to the monarchy: how could it attempt it? |
18094 | The head of the executive power has betrayed his oath,--must we bring him to judgment? |
18094 | The nation supports them: is not that enough? |
18094 | The queen saw this:"You weep, sir?" |
18094 | The 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? |
18094 | Their dictatorship appears to them indispensable to save the nation; and what is a dictatorship but a republic? |
18094 | To what extent, I ask, shall such strange tolerance be permissible? |
18094 | To whom does it intrust the safety of the people? |
18094 | Was it the error of those principles-- was it the fault of the Constituent Assembly? |
18094 | Was the real solution of this enigma ambition or patriotism, weakness or conspiracy? |
18094 | What are your labours, your writings? |
18094 | What are your ministers doing? |
18094 | What avails a throne? |
18094 | What distance was there between the steel of twenty thousand pikes and the heart of Louis XVI.? |
18094 | What do I say? |
18094 | What do they do? |
18094 | What do they want who are here hostile to the republicans? |
18094 | What do they want who boast of the name of republicans? |
18094 | What have you done? |
18094 | What interest can I have in making the people miserable? |
18094 | What is La Fayette doing,--is he a dupe or an accomplice? |
18094 | What is that honour more than virtue and love of country? |
18094 | What is the committee? |
18094 | What is the use of seeking titles for them? |
18094 | What is this war? |
18094 | What is to be hoped from the success of manoeuvres carried on with foreigners, in order to restore the authority of the throne? |
18094 | What means the assemblings on your frontier of emigrants and armed bodies, who are advancing to enclose you in a circle of iron? |
18094 | What 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? |
18094 | What passed at the Tuileries during these decisive hours? |
18094 | What proofs against the priest do we require? |
18094 | What service do they render? |
18094 | What should be the nature of such a law? |
18094 | What then have you to do? |
18094 | What was M. de Bouillé doing during this long and agonising night the king passed at Varennes? |
18094 | What, gentlemen, would you transform into arbitrary proscribers the founders of liberty? |
18094 | What, shall attack be permitted to the emigrés, and good citizens forbidden to defend themselves? |
18094 | When 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? |
18094 | When we place ourselves in imagination in the position of Louis XVI., and ask what could have saved him? |
18094 | When you suppressed the title of prince, what happened? |
18094 | When, in our times, the Philadelphians would be free, have we not also seen war in the two hemispheres? |
18094 | Whence arises this surprise of the patriots? |
18094 | Whence arose this sudden decomposition? |
18094 | Where he came from? |
18094 | Where is it now? |
18094 | Where was he when I was defending this society from the Jacobins against the Constituent Assembly itself? |
18094 | Where was this aristocracy in 1791? |
18094 | Where would you be, where this tribune, were it not for these gentlemen? |
18094 | Which of these two testimonies are we to believe? |
18094 | Whither he was advancing? |
18094 | Whither would you have me retire? |
18094 | Who are those who now dart such threatening glances at me? |
18094 | Who are you who dare to slander this great man? |
18094 | Who can foresee how far will extend the punishment of those tyrants who have forced you to take arms?" |
18094 | Who can imagine that the race of Brutus is extinct? |
18094 | Who command your troops? |
18094 | Who demands crowns for the assassins of the soldiers of Châteauvieux? |
18094 | Who had administered it? |
18094 | Who he was? |
18094 | Who hold the keys of your strong places? |
18094 | Who is the minister? |
18094 | Who knows if to- day, although more lucky, I should be as well used by fortune?" |
18094 | Who prevented me from speaking? |
18094 | Who shall say we ought to endow it?" |
18094 | Who sought to stifle the revolt at Nancy, and cover it with an impenetrable veil? |
18094 | Who would dare to dethrone the constitutional king? |
18094 | Who would dare to place the crown on his head? |
18094 | Who would give orders? |
18094 | Why are we asked to submit to the acceptance of the king? |
18094 | Why does he leave free the avenues of the palace, which is only opened for vengeance or flight? |
18094 | Why had they concealed from the nation their knowledge, if they had known it? |
18094 | Why has he been so tardy in leaving a system of hypocrisy? |
18094 | Why have we these phalanx of priests, who have abjured their ministry? |
18094 | Why is not the property of emigrants confiscated, their houses burnt, their heads set at a price? |
18094 | Why should we pay this army of dependents from the funds of the nation? |
18094 | Why was this impulse fated to have birth in the department of the Gironde and not in Paris? |
18094 | Why, on the evening of this expedition to Vincennes, did you protect in the Tuileries assassins armed with poignards to favour the king''s escape? |
18094 | Why? |
18094 | Will it be when French blood has at last stained the waves of the sea, that you will become sensible of the dangers of indulgence? |
18094 | Will you abandon them to their enemies?" |
18094 | Will you let him remain a prisoner, exposed to every insult at the hands of the national guards? |
18094 | Will you replace liberty by a reign of tyranny? |
18094 | Would he abandon the_ rôle_ of the French Washington when he had half fulfilled it? |
18094 | Would he now resist should the people again command him? |
18094 | Would it be possible that they should not deceive us? |
18094 | Would not the cry of treason have been the first signal of alarm? |
18094 | Would you check this revolt? |
18094 | Would you have allowed his inviolability to have saved him? |
18094 | Would you, in the name of tolerance, again create an inquisition which would not have, like the other, the excuse of fanaticism? |
18094 | Yes; but where are the proofs? |
18094 | You have shaken off the yoke of tyrants; surely, then, you will not bow the knee to foreign despots? |
18094 | and against what, if not against the Revolution? |
18094 | and is it by such outrages that liberty hopes to render herself acceptable to the throne? |
18094 | and the blood spilled in that city, the mutilated carcases of so many victims, do they not cry to us for vengeance against him? |
18094 | ascend the throne of a Catholic nation at the head of a Protestant party?" |
18094 | ces phalanges mercenaires Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers? |
18094 | des cohortes étrangères Feraient la loi dans nos foyers? |
18094 | had deserved well from his people; who well can dare to censure so magnanimous a condescension? |
18094 | hast thou stricken kings with blindness? |
18094 | he inquired of Boze;"Have I not done all that they advise? |
18094 | how can you dare to propose it to me? |
18094 | how is it possible that so many of the royal family could have passed the gates-- the guards-- without connivance?" |
18094 | how will a nation that does not respect its hereditary chief, respect its elected representatives? |
18094 | is that indeed the last which thy race shall obtain?" |
18094 | of what honour do they talk to us? |
18094 | or see in this indifferent and cruel nation a people worthy of empire and of liberty? |
18094 | said the Girondist, Lasource;"will it not be believed that we are uneasy as to the king''s safety? |
18094 | the rabbin to make his burnt- offerings? |
18094 | to what extent, I ask also, will you push despotism and persecution? |
18094 | what are you doing?" |
18094 | what would have happened there at the unexpected announcement of the king''s departure? |
18094 | when the rebels assembled on our frontiers warn us of an approaching outbreak? |
18094 | when, in fact, the colonies threaten us, through an illegal deputation, with withdrawing from the rule of the mother- country? |
18094 | where is the Austrian woman?_"Some ringleaders advanced from the ranks every moment to utter louder threats and menaces of death to the king. |
18094 | who would execute them? |
18094 | why did I take you from your country to associate you with the ignominy of such a day?" |
59162 | ''Es tu du midi? 59162 ''What is your age?'' |
59162 | Am I to carry that answer to the king? |
59162 | And my niece? |
59162 | And what are your means to effect this revolution? |
59162 | Are you Republicans? |
59162 | Are you willing,inquired the president,"to undertake the defense of the Convention?" |
59162 | But how,continued the queen,"could I have obtained popularity? |
59162 | But may I be permitted,inquired the minister,"to ask your majesty if the queen''s opinion on this point agrees with the king''s?" |
59162 | But suppose the court refuses,said one of his friends,"to adopt your plans?" |
59162 | But suppose they should not keep their word? |
59162 | But to whom,said the mayor, Flesselles,"shall the oath of fidelity be taken?" |
59162 | Can she go too? |
59162 | Danton, do you know,said Eglantine to him one day,"of what you are accused? |
59162 | Did you hurt yourself? |
59162 | Did you intend to stab Robespierre? |
59162 | Has any mention been made of the queen? |
59162 | Has it struck five? |
59162 | Have I ever,said the queen, calmly,"done you any wrong?" |
59162 | How ruined? |
59162 | I know it,replied St. Just,"and deplore it; and I wish that I could moderate the convulsions of society; but what am I?" |
59162 | Madame,said La Fayette to the queen,"the king goes to Paris; what will you do?" |
59162 | O 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?" |
59162 | Robespierre,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? |
59162 | Shall 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?" |
59162 | To the guillotine? |
59162 | Well,replied Danton,"do you know what that proves? |
59162 | What do you wish to do? |
59162 | What does it signify,replied Dumouriez,"whether the king be called Louis, or Jacques, or Philippe?" |
59162 | What is a formal act of opposition? 59162 What is it?" |
59162 | What is your age? |
59162 | What is your condition? |
59162 | What is your name? |
59162 | What shall I do with it? |
59162 | What shall we be doing to- morrow at this time? |
59162 | What tempted you? |
59162 | What then,says he,"was this Revolutionary government? |
59162 | What was the object of your visit to Robespierre? |
59162 | What were the means,inquired the queen,"which you would have advised me to resort to?" |
59162 | What, have you not slept? |
59162 | What,rejoined the queen,"have we no defenders? |
59162 | Where has tyranny,said Rewbel,"been organized? |
59162 | Where is it? |
59162 | Where is the Frenchman of the present day,says De Tocqueville,"who would write such books as those of Diderot or Helvetius? |
59162 | Who is that young man,inquired the proud Alfieri,"who has collected such a group around him?" |
59162 | Why are you a Royalist? |
59162 | Why did you provide yourself with the change of clothes? |
59162 | Why 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?'' |
59162 | A king who can not take the Constitution, nor reject the Constitution, nor do any thing at all but miserably ask,''What shall I do?''" |
59162 | A man from the crowd cried out,"What is the use of judging a man who has been judged these thirty years?" |
59162 | Against which what can a judicious friend, Morellet, do; a Rivarol, an unruly Linguet( well paid for it), spouting_ cold_?" |
59162 | All government was disorganized, and the question which agitated every heart was,"What shall be done with the king?" |
59162 | And 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? |
59162 | And 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? |
59162 | And is there any man so silly as to scruple to rebuild his shattered dwelling, because others might be tempted to re- edify theirs? |
59162 | And must we continue to slaughter one another for the interests and the passions of a nation which knows nothing of the calamities of war? |
59162 | And what is national bankruptcy? |
59162 | And why is there a detachment of hussars waiting for you at Varennes?" |
59162 | Are we alone?" |
59162 | As for you, ye despicable priests, ye lying cheating knaves, do you see that you make even your God ineligible? |
59162 | As 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?" |
59162 | As 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?" |
59162 | As the queen raised her eyes and saw M. de Romeuf enter, she exclaimed, with surprise and indignation,"What, sir, is it you? |
59162 | As they were slowly read over, one by one, the president paused after each and said to the king,"What have you to answer?" |
59162 | At all the principal places the cortège? |
59162 | At last the president inquired,"By whose instigation?" |
59162 | But Drouet, a young man of unusual intelligence and energy, demanded,"Why is not the passport signed by the President of the National Assembly? |
59162 | But how could the Bastille be taken? |
59162 | But if the minister could not carry even this project, what could he have done with one making still greater demands? |
59162 | But 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? |
59162 | But that which is not Cæsar''s, is it necessary to render to him that? |
59162 | But what is, then, the crime of my Camille? |
59162 | But what will become of our poor children? |
59162 | But you,"he added, addressing Camille Desmoulins,"why do you keep silence?" |
59162 | But, Robespierre, will you really accomplish the deadly projects which doubtless the vile souls which surround you have inspired you with? |
59162 | Can they, then, no longer attain their object by corresponding openly with the horde of conspirators resident at Hamburg? |
59162 | Can you see any guilt in them? |
59162 | Can you, then, reject my prayers, despise my tears, and trample justice under foot? |
59162 | Citizens, which of you could subscribe to these ignominious proposals? |
59162 | Could Calonne succeed? |
59162 | Danton was present, and, taking the young duke aside, said to him,"What do you do here? |
59162 | Do they pretend that they are nobles because they are conquerors? |
59162 | Do you believe that people will gain confidence in you by seeing you immolate your best friends? |
59162 | Do you fear to degrade royalty by handing over the king and queen to ordinary tribunals? |
59162 | Do you not hear the tocsin? |
59162 | Do you recollect it? |
59162 | Do 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? |
59162 | Do you think that the only plan he has to follow is to adhere to his oath?'' |
59162 | Do you think that they will bless him who regards neither the tears of the widow nor the death of the orphan? |
59162 | Does a citizen avoid society and live retired by his fireside? |
59162 | Has not this war lasted six years? |
59162 | Have they invented them maliciously, and in order to impose on kings and on the great? |
59162 | Have we not slain men enough and inflicted calamities enough on suffering humanity? |
59162 | Have you forgotten those bonds which Camille never recalls without grief? |
59162 | He could only exclaim,"Do you wish to kill me with joy?" |
59162 | He hesitated, stopped, and, turning to M. Roederer, said,"What is to become of our friends who remain behind?" |
59162 | He thus asked, and answered, three questions:"What is the Third Estate? |
59162 | How can I requite them? |
59162 | Hunger and hardship are not to be eternal? |
59162 | I possess nothing; and were I to leave them a legacy it would not be paid; besides, what fortune could repay such a debt?" |
59162 | If the French language is understood through all Europe, are the French to blame? |
59162 | If the king gets this veto, what is the use of the National Assembly? |
59162 | If this bold, resolute body were the_ nation_, what were they? |
59162 | If 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? |
59162 | If we must have one of the two, who would not prefer the latter?" |
59162 | In drinking to a republic, stained at its birth with the blood of September, who knows that we do not drink to our own death? |
59162 | Is he gay and dissipated? |
59162 | Is he poor? |
59162 | Is he rich? |
59162 | Is he thoughtful and melancholy? |
59162 | Is it because citizens are no longer sent to prison by hundreds? |
59162 | Is it because he beat themselves and their friends in Vendémiaire? |
59162 | Is it, then, Danton you regret? |
59162 | Is there, then, no hope of arrangement? |
59162 | It was ascertained that there was a large supply at the Hôtel des Invalides, but how could they be taken without any weapons of attack? |
59162 | It was decreed that the subject should be presented to the Convention in the three following questions:_ First_, Is Louis guilty? |
59162 | Legislature, how should it be constituted? |
59162 | Légendre, speaking in behalf of the Thermidorians, in reply to the Jacobins, said,"What have you to complain of, you who are constantly accusing us? |
59162 | Must I go away, or stay? |
59162 | Must they, in order to gain the patronage of the masters whom they are desirous of giving to France, vilify the leaders of the armies? |
59162 | Nay, is it not a proof of the excellence of their principles, which depend neither upon ages, nor on prejudices, nor on climates? |
59162 | Ought they, through fear of being listened to and imitated, to observe a strict silence, or speak a language different from their own?" |
59162 | Robespierre exclaimed in astonishment,"What, can you think of sleeping on such a night? |
59162 | Shall that negative be absolute, or suspensive only? |
59162 | Shall there be two chambers of legislation, or one only? |
59162 | She 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? |
59162 | Soldiers of Italy, will your courage fail you?" |
59162 | The dictatorship? |
59162 | The king rejoined, in accents of deep sensibility,"The French loved Henry the Fourth; and what king ever better deserved to be beloved?" |
59162 | The president hesitated, and then continued,"But are you aware of the magnitude of the undertaking?" |
59162 | The queen then stepped back into the room, and said to La Fayette,"My guards, can you not do something for them?" |
59162 | The 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?" |
59162 | The wretched man, overwhelmed by the clamor, turned pale with indignation, and shouted"President of assassins, will you hear me?" |
59162 | Then, pointing to a window of the Louvre, he continued, in deep and solemn tones which thrilled through every heart,"Do you appeal to history? |
59162 | There 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? |
59162 | This excited his indignation, and he said, warmly,"Do they think that I am such a coward as to lay violent hands upon myself? |
59162 | This is the tocsin of St. Roch; that, again, is_ it_ not St. Jaques, named_ de la Boucherie_? |
59162 | Three millions of men had come from the furrow and the shop, and fiercely demanded"Where are the brigands? |
59162 | Time? |
59162 | To whom should he lend? |
59162 | Was it Providence? |
59162 | Was it chance? |
59162 | Was it defending us not to check a general who violated the Constitution, but to enchain the courage of those who were serving it? |
59162 | Was it defending us to thwart plans tending to fortify the interior? |
59162 | Was it not you, O glorious day, first day of liberty? |
59162 | Was the mayor deceiving them? |
59162 | What can I do? |
59162 | What can be expected from those addresses to the people which he has been advised to post up? |
59162 | What does it want? |
59162 | What has it hitherto been in our form of government? |
59162 | What have we gained? |
59162 | What mean these menacing preparations? |
59162 | What should they have done in these circumstances? |
59162 | What 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?" |
59162 | Where are the enemies of the state and of the king that are to be subdued?'' |
59162 | Where has it found its supporters and satellites? |
59162 | Where should I be this day but for this hope? |
59162 | Which of us would not make an expiatory pile of these infamous parchments? |
59162 | Who can recollect without emotion the religious silence which reigned throughout the hall and galleries when the vote was put? |
59162 | Who is it who gives commands to us-- to us to whom alone twenty- five millions of men are looking for happiness? |
59162 | Who regret the frightful government under which we have lived? |
59162 | Who that saw that ceremony ever forgot its solemnity? |
59162 | Why did they not sweep away four or five hundred of them with the cannon? |
59162 | Why do I love so fondly? |
59162 | Why do you come hither? |
59162 | Why does he pretend to be ignorant of it? |
59162 | Why is Bonaparte, then, the object of the wrath of these gentry? |
59162 | Will they not make you change your mind again?" |
59162 | Will you, who have ever deserved so much from your country, cast shame and dishonor on her now?" |
59162 | Wilt thou never arrive?" |
59162 | Would he have suffered these assemblages? |
59162 | Would 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? |
59162 | are you quite sincere? |
59162 | because the guillotine no longer dispatches fifty, sixty, or eighty persons per day? |
59162 | brave young man, where is the Republican soldier whose heart does not burn with the desire to imitate thee? |
59162 | he exclaimed,"will you, a nation of brave men, become a nation of murderers?" |
59162 | must I wait still longer? |
59162 | of how many shall the body be composed? |
59162 | or even St. Germain l''Auxerrois, hear ye it not? |
59162 | to us also has hope reached-- down even to us? |
59162 | was it not enough for him to have asserted that she was a Messalina, without also making an Agrippina of her?" |
59162 | what have I done to them?_''I offered her orange- flower- water and ether. |
59162 | what proportion shall be from the privileged and what from the unprivileged class? |
59162 | who but a drunkard would ever point his arms against his country or its representatives? |
59162 | who shall be voters? |
59162 | why am I so fondly loved? |
59162 | why did you not defend him?'' |
59162 | you 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? |
3580 | Admiral Bruix,said the Emperor in a tone showing great excitement,"why have you not obeyed my orders?" |
3580 | Ah, well, what have I to do with that? |
3580 | Ah, well, what were you doing there in your room all by yourself? 3580 Answer me, what has become of Vandamme?" |
3580 | Are you asleep, Constant? |
3580 | But how can we follow him? |
3580 | But if the grenadiers begin to hiss like the others? |
3580 | Good- day, Mother Marguerite,said his Majesty, saluting the old woman;"so you are not curious to see the Emperor?" |
3580 | Have there not been enough killed? |
3580 | Have you any children? |
3580 | I will do well? |
3580 | I 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? |
3580 | In what regiment?--"Sire?" |
3580 | Is it because I am a king,he said one day,"that you are afraid to say thou to me? |
3580 | Is not that the bishop? |
3580 | Is that all? |
3580 | It surely can not be you who made shoes for me at the l''ecole militaire? |
3580 | Look,said one,"do you see the Little Corporal down there?" |
3580 | Monsieur Constant,said he,"do you know what are the three capitals of the French Empire?" |
3580 | Monsieur,replied the Emperor, more and more irritated,"I gave the orders; once again, why have you not executed them? |
3580 | My husband is asleep, why do you come to disturb his glorious rest? |
3580 | See here,said he,"since when did chickens begin to have only one wing and one leg? |
3580 | See how you are,said the First Consul,"always sick and complaining; and if you stay here, who then will shave me?" |
3580 | That reminds me,continued the First Consul, addressing his colleague,"when is your brother going to take possession of his see of Rouen? |
3580 | These gentlemen are with you? |
3580 | To how much does the loss amount? |
3580 | Unfortunately, Sire,said he among other things,"I am too old to long enjoy your Majesty''s reign or profit by your kindness."--"YOU?" |
3580 | Viewed 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?" |
3580 | Well, my children, what do you think of the wine? |
3580 | Well,continued the First Consul,"has the harvest been fine this year?" |
3580 | What do you come to ask here? |
3580 | What do you think of it? |
3580 | What does that wagon contain? |
3580 | What is it? |
3580 | What is it? |
3580 | What is that? |
3580 | What is the nature of the occupation which has detained you in Moscow? |
3580 | What is your father''s name? |
3580 | What shall we gain,said he,"by doubling this fort? |
3580 | What,cried he,"do you not recognize me?" |
3580 | Where is he, then? |
3580 | Who knows,said he,"what terrible confusion might be produced by such news? |
3580 | Why did you quit the service? |
3580 | Why give that? |
3580 | Why, what is the matter? |
3580 | You believe in glory, then? |
3580 | You 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?" |
3580 | A peasant, seeing him thus some distance from his suite, cried out to him familiarly,"Oh, citizen, is the Emperor going to pass soon?" |
3580 | According to one of the habitual expressions of the Emperor, the pear was ripe; but who was to gather it? |
3580 | After the colonel had replied, he addressed himself to all the other officers, saying,"Who is the bravest among you?" |
3580 | All these dangers in no wise- depressed the Emperor; and he had a habit of saying,"What have I to fear? |
3580 | Am I not here?" |
3580 | An Inhabitant.--"Is it true, as I am told, that the condition of affairs is so bad?" |
3580 | And how could you have hoped to escape, after you had struck me thus in the midst of my soldiers?" |
3580 | And noticing the fine resistance and majestic maneuvers of a frigate, he asked,"Can you believe, my children, that captain is English? |
3580 | And when the grand marshal appeared, his Majesty inquired,"Who is the idiot that could have conceived such an idea? |
3580 | And you, my dear, what did you do all the evening?" |
3580 | Are we not old acquaintances, we two?" |
3580 | Are you content?" |
3580 | Are you not my chief architect?" |
3580 | Are you supporting them also?" |
3580 | Are you sure you have a good driver? |
3580 | As 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?" |
3580 | At last I concluded to shake him gently; and at this the Emperor awoke with a loud cry, saying,"What is it? |
3580 | At such a tender age could he have been conscious of his uncle''s superiority to all those who surrounded him? |
3580 | But what do you mean by your English? |
3580 | But what is there for me to say here of a man whose name in history will never be separated from that of the Emperor? |
3580 | Can he be dead?" |
3580 | Can he stand that ordeal? |
3580 | Can it be implicitly believed? |
3580 | Can it be possible to see anything equal to what we have seen? |
3580 | Come, now, is there any need of formality between friends?" |
3580 | Could Paris hold out long enough for him to crush the enemy against its walls? |
3580 | Do you believe that, Constant? |
3580 | Do you doubt it?" |
3580 | Do you know it has the finest archiepiscopal palace in France? |
3580 | Do you know what they do? |
3580 | Do you swear it?" |
3580 | Formerly when a highly esteemed actor was kept from his place for some time by illness( and who deserved more esteem than Dazincourt? |
3580 | General Rapp seized the man by the arm, and said to him,"Monsieur, you have already been ordered away; what do you want?" |
3580 | Has imagination ever dreamed anything wilder than this? |
3580 | Have I not also critics who do not spare me? |
3580 | Have you ever seen a foot like that? |
3580 | Have you no mother? |
3580 | Have you nothing to give me?" |
3580 | He approached the soldier and said to him,"Is this, then, all that you have to say to me?" |
3580 | He has not done it very badly, has he? |
3580 | He 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? |
3580 | He should not be more sensitive than I?" |
3580 | He stopped in surprise, and addressed to the deputy his familiar inquiry,"Who are you?" |
3580 | He tried to steal away; but the First Consul cried in a loud voice,"Who goes there? |
3580 | He was necessarily struck by the contrast; but was there not some injustice at the foundation of this? |
3580 | He, a good, simple, modest man living his retired life, what could the minister of general police desire of him? |
3580 | His Majesty could hardly believe what he read and heard; and I, with several other persons, heard him exclaim,"What, he is coming here? |
3580 | His Majesty was very angry, and said,"Has any one ever seen anything equal to these big heads? |
3580 | His Majesty, who liked to be amused, said to her,"Ah, but why trouble yourself about him? |
3580 | How are you?" |
3580 | How can I believe in the good faith of those people? |
3580 | How can such an immense superiority of numbers be indefinitely resisted? |
3580 | How can this be doubted after the event which I here describe? |
3580 | How could he dare to present himself before the Emperor? |
3580 | How could such a beautiful character fail to make this angel beloved by all who knew him? |
3580 | How is he succeeding? |
3580 | How many models have you seen worthy of Canova or of David?" |
3580 | How will he get out of this, the poor Emperor, whom I love so devotedly? |
3580 | If there are abuses to be remedied, is this a time for remonstrances, when two hundred thousand Cossacks are crossing our frontiers? |
3580 | In fact, who has proclaimed the principle of insurrection as a duty? |
3580 | In such cases the Emperor always said,"How can a sovereign have the laws respected if he does not respect them himself?" |
3580 | In these circumstances, I ask of all honest men, what could I do, and what would they have done in my place? |
3580 | In this painful moment can the best of fathers wish to destroy my domestic happiness, the only kind which now remains to me? |
3580 | Is it possible it can be he?" |
3580 | Is it possible the enemy could really enter France?" |
3580 | Is it possible? |
3580 | Is it thus she would have acted if the evil reports spread by her enemies, and those of the Emperor, had had the least foundation? |
3580 | Is that our minister of the navy who has allowed himself to fall in the water? |
3580 | Is the carriage in good condition?" |
3580 | Is there too much vanity in what I have just said? |
3580 | It is not long enough for me to make you an officer, is it? |
3580 | Larrey?" |
3580 | Let us know; what are these conditions?" |
3580 | Look here, what would you do to- morrow if the Little Corporal was killed?" |
3580 | M. Yvan drew near, and the Emperor said to him,"Do you believe the dose was strong enough?" |
3580 | Many times a day he exclaimed,"How far are we from such a town? |
3580 | Must they then let all these men perish after most horrible sufferings, for lack of means to convey them to Dresden? |
3580 | No, no? |
3580 | Once only his Majesty broke the silence by a deep sigh, followed by these words addressed to one of the officers:"What time is it?" |
3580 | One day the Emperor, meeting him at Berlin, said to him,"Well, Bisson, do you still drink much?" |
3580 | One such poetical effusion was enough to provoke laughter( and can you blame her? |
3580 | Or did it not rather arise from the certainty of no longer fearing it in his bed more than on the battlefield? |
3580 | Paralyzed by the necessary consequences of the Revolution, could she have risen again and maintained her position? |
3580 | Pillage? |
3580 | Several Voices.--"But what, then, shall we do?" |
3580 | That is extraordinary; what, sir, seize enfants?" |
3580 | That sounds well, does it not?" |
3580 | The Emperor awaited daylight in a poor hut, and in the morning said to Prince Berthier,"Well, Berthier, how can we get out of this?" |
3580 | The Emperor exclaimed with inconceivable joy,"Can it be true?" |
3580 | The Emperor interrupted his work to regard her:"I did not take long at my toilet, did I?" |
3580 | The Emperor, having been informed of it by others than myself, said to me one morning at his toilet,"Constant, I owe you indemnity."--"Sire?" |
3580 | The Emperor, much surprised, exclaimed,"What the devil does this foolish creature want with me?" |
3580 | The Emperor, to increase his embarrassment, said to him,"Do you like chocolate, Monsieur le Duc?" |
3580 | The Empress alone kept silence; and noticing this the Emperor said to her,"Louise, have you nothing to say to poor Constant?" |
3580 | The Inhabitant.--"But how, then, will all this end?" |
3580 | The brave chief of the''Philadelphi'', the pure Oudet, has been assassinated, and who is worthy to take his place? |
3580 | The child passed through without saluting any one, when the prince stopped him and said,"Will you not tell me goodmorning?" |
3580 | The next morning on entering as usual the First Consul''s room, to his customary questions,"What o''clock is it? |
3580 | The soldiers were accustomed to say that four words formed the basis of the Polish language,--kleba? |
3580 | The 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?" |
3580 | Then recognizing the young lady, after having scrutinized her features more closely, he added in very evident anger,"Ah, is it you again? |
3580 | Then turning to M. Fontaine, he continued,"Monsieur Fontaine, was my statue in the design which was presented to you?" |
3580 | This 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? |
3580 | To those who have lived, like myself, amid the conquests and wonders of the Empire, what is left to- day? |
3580 | Was his genius as benumbed as his body? |
3580 | Was it the result of his satisfaction at having escaped death, which a momentary despair had made him desire? |
3580 | Was the Emperor really so overwhelmed by his evil fortune? |
3580 | What costume must he wear? |
3580 | What could I hope for in France, where I had no right to anything? |
3580 | What could he reply to the deposition of the gendarmes who had arrested him in the very act? |
3580 | What 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? |
3580 | What do they think of that in Paris?" |
3580 | What do you want? |
3580 | What has become of the marshal?" |
3580 | What has he done to be thus treated?" |
3580 | What have you to fear? |
3580 | What is it?" |
3580 | What is the weather?" |
3580 | What is your name?" |
3580 | What is your salary?" |
3580 | What was to be done? |
3580 | What would become of her? |
3580 | What would the enemy say? |
3580 | When do we arrive at Breslau?" |
3580 | When the conquerors are dying of famine, what becomes of the conquered? |
3580 | When the fire was hottest, the band played the air,''Where can one be better than in the bosom of his family?'' |
3580 | Where are you going? |
3580 | Where is he?" |
3580 | Where would the war end if the Russians fell back now? |
3580 | Wherever I am, am I not in my own house?" |
3580 | While I was undressing him the evening before, he said, pinching my ear,"Well, Monsieur Constant, what will you give me for my present?" |
3580 | Who comes there?" |
3580 | Who could believe it? |
3580 | Who has not heard of the hardest drinker in all the army? |
3580 | Who has ordered you to beat the alarm?" |
3580 | Who has paid adulation to the nation while claiming for it a sovereignty which it was incapable of exercising? |
3580 | Who was, then, the important personage struck by a French cannonball? |
3580 | Who will be a father to him when I die? |
3580 | Who will rear him, and who will make a man of him?" |
3580 | Who, then, eats half of my supper?" |
3580 | Whose picture is this?" |
3580 | Why could they not wait a little?" |
3580 | Why did you wish to kill me?" |
3580 | Why is he not here? |
3580 | Will they abandon them in misfortune? |
3580 | Will you swear to sacrifice even your lives in their defense, and to keep them always by your valor in the path to victory? |
3580 | Would my word be taken? |
3580 | Would she not allow him to go and wade in the mud?" |
3580 | Would you have done it?" |
3580 | Would you like to lie down a little while? |
3580 | You have heard from me lately?" |
3580 | You know which it is?" |
3580 | You? |
3580 | Your Majesty can see this as well as I; are you willing to uselessly risk the lives of so many brave men?" |
3580 | about what?" |
3580 | added he, smiling,"do not people speak evil of me also? |
3580 | added he, smiling;"does the site appear well chosen?" |
3580 | already awake, Colas?" |
3580 | and have no fear of afflicting and destroying beings who are so dear to you?" |
3580 | and would not the chamberlains have a right to be vexed by it? |
3580 | but do you understand that this is the revenue of one of my communes? |
3580 | but doubtless-- why?" |
3580 | forward, my brave cuirassiers?" |
3580 | is it you, my dear master?" |
3580 | niema;"bread? |
3580 | said his Majesty, waking with a start;"what o''clock is it? |
3580 | said his Majesty,"have you arrived, Madame? |
3580 | said his Majesty;"what is there to fear? |
3580 | said the Emperor,"who can desire it more than I? |
3580 | said they,"Must we all share the same fate?" |
3580 | sara;"water? |
3580 | so it was you, was it?" |
3580 | there is none;"voia? |
3580 | vehemently inquired the Emperor;"what has happened?" |
3580 | what have you done?" |
3580 | what were you doing in the Faubourg Saint Germain? |
3580 | what-- I see--do you mean to insult me, you questioner? |
3580 | who can desire it more than I? |
3580 | why did n''t you come with me?" |
3580 | will they follow us everywhere?" |
3580 | will you never let me alone?" |
3580 | would the matter be carried as far as that?" |
18113 | Above all,said he to him,"no pillage? |
18113 | And what is the end of so many exertions? 18113 And what would he have had to fight? |
18113 | And who contests your power? |
18113 | And with what means? 18113 And you have no wish to be a prisoner of state?" |
18113 | But France,said the Emperor,"what would France say?" |
18113 | But 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? |
18113 | But,said he to him at last,"has your church been burned?" |
18113 | Can 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? |
18113 | Did he wish to know the opinion of the army? 18113 Do you hear, soldiers?" |
18113 | Eugene and the army of Italy, and this long day of baffled expectation, had they then terminated together? |
18113 | From 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? |
18113 | Had the Russians anticipated him? 18113 Had the coldness of the Lithuanians infected him? |
18113 | How 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? |
18113 | If 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? |
18113 | Is it then a battle? |
18113 | Then I suppose I am in your way? |
18113 | To 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? |
18113 | Was the danger then so pressing? 18113 What do you require more? |
18113 | What had brought him to Wilna? 18113 What is war? |
18113 | What say you? |
18113 | What then do you expect from our zeal? 18113 What, then, should he wait for at Witepsk? |
18113 | What, then, was the object of this war? 18113 Who are you?" |
18113 | Who were they? 18113 Why were they to be kept back? |
18113 | Will 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?" |
18113 | And for what reason? |
18113 | And in fact did not he share the common danger? |
18113 | And then, when war was kindled in all quarters, how was it possible to avoid it? |
18113 | And who would wish to grow old with it? |
18113 | Are the circumstances still the same? |
18113 | Are they a property of which she has reason to be proud? |
18113 | Are we not still the soldiers of Austerlitz? |
18113 | Are you not mistaken? |
18113 | As soon as he saw him he called out to him,"Whether shall we retreat by Zembin, or go and beat Wittgenstein at Smoliantzy?" |
18113 | As to the weakness and disorganization of the Russian army, nobody believed it; but what could be urged in reply? |
18113 | At that critical moment, Murat ran up to him, and seizing him by the collar, exclaimed,"What are you about?" |
18113 | At the same moment a Russian sentinel called out to them to halt, and demanded who they were? |
18113 | Besides, where was he to stop in a retreat? |
18113 | Both facts and men spoke sufficiently; but what could they teach him? |
18113 | But Napoleon only replied to it by an exclamation of contempt:"Does that man believe himself to be so necessary? |
18113 | But as to Alexander,--who was there to counsel him? |
18113 | But as to Napoleon, what did he owe to him? |
18113 | But should he arrive there in time? |
18113 | But superfluous wrong was committed as well as necessary wrong, for who can stop midway in the commission of evil? |
18113 | But what had they gained by this movement? |
18113 | But what kind of battle? |
18113 | But what would Paris say? |
18113 | But where were its living remnants? |
18113 | But why had he placed his Emperor between him and the enemy? |
18113 | But why not make an appeal to the provinces of the south? |
18113 | Can not that subdue it in its turn? |
18113 | Could that be called conquering it? |
18113 | Could 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? |
18113 | Did 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? |
18113 | Did he not already hear the murmurs of his own troops?" |
18113 | Did he pretend to resist him? |
18113 | Did he want the means of wreaking the most horrible retaliation?" |
18113 | Did it become the ambition of Napoleon to denounce the ambition of Alexander? |
18113 | Did not Napoleon hear their discontented kings murmuring that they were only his prefects? |
18113 | Did not the sun of France seem to have followed him to Russia? |
18113 | Did not this tell us that a numerous cavalry was joining them from all quarters, while ours was gradually perishing? |
18113 | Did they imagine he made war from inclination? |
18113 | Do you see that man? |
18113 | Does he despise my alliance?" |
18113 | Does he expect to teach me?" |
18113 | Does he fancy then that I have need of him? |
18113 | Does he prefer the English to me? |
18113 | Does she delight in displaying them? |
18113 | Does she then believe us to be degenerated? |
18113 | Does there exist a creature ever so diminutive, on every side of which the sun, great as is that luminary, can shine at once? |
18113 | Exchange them? |
18113 | For, in fact, on what more favourable ground could Barclay make a stand? |
18113 | Had Davoust sworn the destruction of the army? |
18113 | Had I at that time accomplished the decrees of fate? |
18113 | Had a single letter from Alexander yet reached him? |
18113 | Had he not used sufficient expedition in that march, the object of which was to pass the left flank of Kutusoff?" |
18113 | Had he then hesitated to follow him, to leave Gallicia, his point of departure, his magazines, and his depôt? |
18113 | Had not all his preparations been dictated by the most clear- sighted foresight? |
18113 | Had not her armies been seen in all parts of Italy, in Germany, and even on the Rhine? |
18113 | Had not one hundred and fifty dragoons of his old guard been surprised and routed, by a number of these barbarians? |
18113 | Had not the winter in Russia been foreseen? |
18113 | Had the retreat of the Russians disconcerted him? |
18113 | Had they lost their way? |
18113 | Had they not had time to spike them, or at least to spoil their ammunition? |
18113 | Had they re- ascended the Düna? |
18113 | Has not his envious and perfidious inaction already betrayed the French army at Auerstadt? |
18113 | He asked Rapp if he thought we should gain the victory? |
18113 | He concluded thus:"Do you dread the war, as endangering my life? |
18113 | He demanded why Napoleon had placed him in such a dangerous and false position at Wagram? |
18113 | He interrogated them: Did their captains take care of them? |
18113 | He would not stop at Paris; how could he then retreat at Wilna? |
18113 | How came it, amidst the noisy acclamations of Europe, that his anxious ear could hear the few solitary voices which disputed his legitimacy? |
18113 | How could men be roused to insurrection, for the sake of a liberty whose very name they did not understand? |
18113 | How is it possible to stop short in the midst of so glorious a career?" |
18113 | How many years''service? |
18113 | If I retreat, what would the Emperor say? |
18113 | If it was necessary to drag every thing along with them, to transport France into Russia, wherefore had they been required to quit France?" |
18113 | If the rest retreated in such good order, proud, and so little discouraged, what signified the gain of a field of battle? |
18113 | If we wanted assistance, there could be none expected by waiting for it; we must go and look for it; but on which side? |
18113 | In such extensive countries, would there ever be any want of ground for the Russians to fight on? |
18113 | In that situation, if Tchitchakof stole a few marches on him, was it at all wonderful? |
18113 | Is it against nature that that aggression should be successful? |
18113 | Is it rather, that after the desire of knowing them, her first wish is to impart her sensations? |
18113 | Is it then the fate of the South to be vanquished by the North? |
18113 | Is the emperor, then, to be no more than a spectator of this expedition? |
18113 | Is the soul, also, proud of her deep and numerous wounds? |
18113 | Is there another coalition preparing? |
18113 | It is true, that all did not stop at that; but when one disorder is authorized, how can others be forbidden? |
18113 | It was not his fortune then that had failed him, but he who had been wanting to his fortune?" |
18113 | Moreover, 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? |
18113 | Moscow was the general rallying point; how could it be changed? |
18113 | Must 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?" |
18113 | Must the glory of it devolve on Davoust?" |
18113 | Next day, when the emperor reviewed that regiment, he inquired where was its third battalion? |
18113 | Ney listened:"Is this Davoust at last,"he exclaimed,"who has recollected me?" |
18113 | Ney''s officers here interrupted their narrative to inquire in their turn what had passed? |
18113 | No doubt his influence over his men was great, but could it extend beyond nature? |
18113 | Now 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? |
18113 | Of what was he ignorant? |
18113 | On 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?" |
18113 | Ought he to allow Russia time to arm herself entirely? |
18113 | Release them? |
18113 | Shall we stay where we are, or advance? |
18113 | Shall we then recede, when all Europe is looking on and encouraging us? |
18113 | Should they march thither by Kalouga, Medyn or Mojaisk? |
18113 | Should we not have all desired, at that time, to be the heroes whose real or fictitious history we were perusing? |
18113 | The Emperor resumed:"Do you see, sir, this devastated country, these villages in flames? |
18113 | The Lithuanians, it was said, desired our presence; but on what a soil? |
18113 | The emperor rejoined,"Did they take him for a madman? |
18113 | The emperor, uttering an exclamation of sorrow, said to him,"You have heard the news, do you wish to retire?" |
18113 | The service of these men would be, it was said, only temporary; but who could ever wish for their return? |
18113 | Then pointing to a still serene sky, he asked,"if in that brilliant sun they did not recognize his star?" |
18113 | They 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? |
18113 | They did not even pity them; for, in short, what had they lost by dying? |
18113 | They 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? |
18113 | They first supplied them with clothes and provisions, and then asked them where were their_ corps d''armée_? |
18113 | They had approached nearer to the fire, and could neither retreat nor remain where they were; and how were they to advance? |
18113 | This was no doubt a barbarity too; but what could we do? |
18113 | To feel, and to excite feeling, are not these the most powerful springs of our soul? |
18113 | To what then must we attribute this delay, when famine, disease and the winter, and three hostile armies were gradually surrounding us? |
18113 | To which Napoleon replied,"And if there should be another battle to- morrow, where is my army?" |
18113 | To whom are these disasters to be charged? |
18113 | To whom were complaints to be addressed? |
18113 | True, we had come up with the Russian rear- guard; but was it that of their army? |
18113 | Up 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? |
18113 | Was he afraid of Austria? |
18113 | Was he still undecided as to the destiny he should bestow upon them?" |
18113 | Was 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? |
18113 | Was his manoeuvre thwarted? |
18113 | Was it not more likely that Barclay had fled towards Smolensk by way of Rudnia? |
18113 | Was it not rather a method of rendering the Poles and the French, who were mixed with these dangerous allies, entirely useless? |
18113 | Was it our artillery and baggage that had caused this tardiness? |
18113 | Was it possible that at Moscow he should have less ascendancy over Alexander? |
18113 | Was it right to leave the enemy''s fires to destroy what might be saved? |
18113 | Was it that Napoleon, accustomed to the active intelligence of his soldiers, had reckoned too much upon their foresight? |
18113 | Was not Napoleon fleeing? |
18113 | Was not the constant importunity of his letters, and his continual solicitations sufficient? |
18113 | Was not the contemporary, the comrade, the rival of Suwarrow yet living? |
18113 | Was not the fatal moment arrived when this Colossus was about to surround us with his threatening arms? |
18113 | Was not the road to Malo- Yaroslawetz open but the preceding day? |
18113 | Was not the term of Napoleon''s destiny already irrevocably marked? |
18113 | Was 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?" |
18113 | Was there ever so great a military achievement? |
18113 | Was there not the Russian army, which, as they were told, still numbered four hundred thousand men, to defend them? |
18113 | Weak and famished as they were, how could they support a long and terrible shock? |
18113 | Were the Russians determined to conquer or die?" |
18113 | Were the Russians gone to Smolensk? |
18113 | Were we not leaving our wounded and a multitude of prisoners at his mercy? |
18113 | What are they doing above, then?" |
18113 | What business had we in the burnt and ravaged Smolensk, but to take a supply of provisions and proceed rapidly onwards? |
18113 | What business has the emperor in the rear of the army? |
18113 | What chief could be responsible for the crowd of officers and soldiers who were scattered through the country in order to collect its resources? |
18113 | What chief had ever before so many means of power? |
18113 | What could be said to him, which he had not himself said and written a hundred times? |
18113 | What could be taken from them? |
18113 | What did he care for England? |
18113 | What did he care for the anger of the emperor, and for his decision? |
18113 | What did the Emperor of Russia want with him? |
18113 | What has every one been reckoning upon? |
18113 | What influence could be obtained over a people almost savages, without property, and without wants? |
18113 | What motive then could be so just and so powerful as to inspire him with such astonishing confidence? |
18113 | What necessity was there for his remaining at the head of a routed army? |
18113 | What need had he of him?" |
18113 | What other name would have any attraction? |
18113 | What signified his rank? |
18113 | What signified one unpleasant night? |
18113 | What signified the menacing attitude of the Russians and their impenetrable woods? |
18113 | What spirit of infatuation is it that has seized the whole army as well as its leader? |
18113 | What then urged them into this roving and adventurous life? |
18113 | What vanity could resist a charm of so great potency? |
18113 | What was he going to do; and whatever might be his plan, whither would he direct his steps, without a guide, in an unknown country? |
18113 | What was his reply to the news of the offer of several Swedes, when he himself waited upon him to inform him of it? |
18113 | What was now to be done? |
18113 | What was the cause of the general discouragement? |
18113 | What would Europe think? |
18113 | What would be the effect of this barbarity on the enemy? |
18113 | What would be thought, if it were known that a third of his army, dispersed or sick, were no longer in the ranks? |
18113 | What would they think? |
18113 | What would you do singly by yourselves, and without me? |
18113 | When he exclaimed, therefore,"Is it possible that I have left this man so large a territory?" |
18113 | When 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? |
18113 | When they, all of them, only waited a suitable occasion in order to turn against him, why run the risk of giving that occasion birth?" |
18113 | When will its gates at length open? |
18113 | Where are they? |
18113 | Where could they ever halt, in the midst of these level plains, divested of every species of position fortified by nature or by art? |
18113 | Where were now the rapid movements of Marengo, Ulm, and Eckmühl? |
18113 | Where were they? |
18113 | Wherefore communicate those terrible impressions which harrow up the soul? |
18113 | Wherefore do each other useless injury? |
18113 | Wherefore lay waste fresh provinces? |
18113 | Wherefore so many precautions? |
18113 | Which of them all risked so much as he? |
18113 | While 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?" |
18113 | While boasting of his good fortune, was it not evident that he was insulting their misfortunes? |
18113 | While the French armies covered all Europe, how could the Russians be reproached for increasing their army? |
18113 | Whither, then, must we pursue the Russians, in order to compel them to fight? |
18113 | Who could persuade them to interrupt it, to retrace their steps, and return once more into the darkness and frozen deserts of Russia? |
18113 | Who 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? |
18113 | Who is there that can fancy that the great struggle between the North and the South is at an end? |
18113 | Who is there that would not have rushed forward, replete with joy and hope, and disdaining an odious and scandalous repose? |
18113 | Who suffered the greatest loss, in this disaster? |
18113 | Who then was there to defend her?" |
18113 | Who was to punish? |
18113 | Whom had he to oppose to him? |
18113 | Why did he come again to persecute him with his presence? |
18113 | Why did he prefer the union of the three northern crowns on the head of a prince of Denmark? |
18113 | Why did not they send Frenchmen and Poles there? |
18113 | Why had he been trifled with, by sending him bulletins made to deceive the idlers of the capital? |
18113 | Why had we been obstinately deaf to her voice?" |
18113 | Why keep proceeding northward? |
18113 | Why should he seek to_ purchase_ of Fortune what she was so generously giving him? |
18113 | Why so much precipitation to overtake the enemy, with an army panting, exhausted, and weakened? |
18113 | Why so slow and drawling a march on such a critical occasion? |
18113 | Why then did they come so far from home to throw away their lives and to fatten a foreign soil with their blood?" |
18113 | Why then remain around them to perish by battalions, by masses? |
18113 | Why was not that liberty offered to them in 1807? |
18113 | Why was such respect to be paid them?" |
18113 | Why-- when in our rear Borowsk and Vereïa would lead us without danger to Mojaisk-- why reject that safe route? |
18113 | Will not the cutting off Augereau and his brigade upon that road open his eyes? |
18113 | Will they keep in our rear when they can so easily place themselves before us, on the line of our retreat? |
18113 | Will you answer for that?" |
18113 | With what could they be tempted? |
18113 | Would he allow him even to get beyond the frontiers of Russia proper, which loudly called for the sacrifice of this great victim? |
18113 | Would he, Davoust, defend it? |
18113 | Would not the duration of the enterprise augment its danger? |
18113 | Would not the eastern departments profit most by that event? |
18113 | Would not the meditated departure leave her solitary, deserted, without a ruler, without an army, accessible to every diversion? |
18113 | Would these serfs, habituated to the irregularities of war, bring back their former submission? |
18113 | Would they station liberty so near slavery? |
18113 | and is the frightful result of our invasion a fresh proof of it? |
18113 | and knowing that Dodde had just come from the latter position, he asked him if it was approachable? |
18113 | and 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? |
18113 | and why are time and space denied me to relate them? |
18113 | but what need have I of you? |
18113 | desired to know his wishes, exhibit so much indifference? |
18113 | do n''t you see that we belong to the corps of Ouwarof, and that we are going on a secret expedition?" |
18113 | exclaimed he,"do you believe they would dare?" |
18113 | exclaimed the Emperor, clasping his hands,"are you sure you are right? |
18113 | for his having given them wives, if he made them widowers by a continual absence? |
18113 | for when, indeed, are these masters of the world ever entirely masters of themselves? |
18113 | had their unfortunate comrades fallen? |
18113 | had they received their pay? |
18113 | he exclaimed in astonishment,"_ Te Deum!_ Dare they then lie to God as well as to men?" |
18113 | how force a passage through the waves of this ocean of flame? |
18113 | how many campaigns? |
18113 | in the midst of what peculiar manners? |
18113 | in what a climate? |
18113 | or rather, did he dread the explosion of a patriotism which he might not be able to master? |
18113 | rejoined the officer;"and wherefore do you come into Russia?" |
18113 | retorted Napoleon;"does one give away a kingdom like Spain? |
18113 | said he,"and are_ you_ not inflamed by this idea? |
18113 | said he,"does this monarch dare neither to make peace nor war? |
18113 | they replied.--"What do you want?" |
18113 | to allow him to escape with his victory? |
18113 | to what corps did they belong? |
18113 | to what was he to attribute the jealous anxiety to weaken his eulogium in the journals by artful notes? |
18113 | was he likely to leave them motionless now, when, instead of striking him mortal blows, we had been struck ourselves? |
18113 | was it for her that he was fighting? |
18113 | was it the victorious Russian army they were about to meet? |
18113 | was not the next day to decide every thing? |
18113 | were they in want of any requisite? |
18113 | were they then to be left to the mercy of Kutusoff? |
18113 | were they too late? |
18113 | what exploits? |
18113 | what had they left behind them? |
18113 | what had they to gain by remaining by their colours? |
18113 | what had they to show for it? |
18113 | what have they been doing for the last three weeks that they have not heard from me? |
18113 | what have they to give you? |
18113 | what is that to me? |
18113 | what position would he determine to dispute? |
18113 | what shall we do? |
18113 | what was Junot about?" |
18113 | what would be said by France, by the army, by Europe? |
18113 | what would they do there? |
18113 | what wounds? |
18113 | where are their twenty days''provisions? |
18113 | why 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? |
18113 | why had he exposed himself to be cut off?" |
18113 | why had the cannon been abandoned to the enemy untouched? |
18113 | why the report of that victory had been so unfavourable to him? |
18113 | why then stop him and force him to conquer? |
20580 | About what? |
20580 | And the Assembly believes in it? |
20580 | And you? |
20580 | By whom? |
20580 | By whom? |
20580 | Eight hundred? |
20580 | How did he die? |
20580 | If the shot was really fired, there still remains a question: Was it a cause, or was it a signal? 20580 Was it six hundred?" |
20580 | Well? |
20580 | What do they say in Paris, and in the Assembly? |
20580 | What is your position in the country? |
20580 | What vote? |
20580 | What were these orders? 20580 Where do you come from?" |
20580 | Who is this monster? |
20580 | Would 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? |
20580 | According to the terms of the"Constitution,"who is it that appoints the master of the house? |
20580 | All these things being done, what would be the result? |
20580 | And for this immense engulfment, this supreme victory of life over death, what was needed? |
20580 | And from whom?'' |
20580 | And look at the sky: is it day? |
20580 | And military honour, where is it? |
20580 | And now, will M. Bonaparte be Emperor, or will he not? |
20580 | And the songs which at eventide they used to hear, in their native tongue, where are they? |
20580 | And what about that excellent trial by jury? |
20580 | And what does he mean by it all? |
20580 | And when everything had been pleaded, argued, investigated, searched, gone to the bottom of, said and gainsaid, what came forth from the chaos? |
20580 | And who are in the prisons, in the fortresses, in the dungeons, in the casemates, in the hulks, at Lambessa, at Cayenne, in exile? |
20580 | And who are they? |
20580 | Are some oaths better than others? |
20580 | Are there in this commodity of the oath, superfine, extra- fine, fine, and half- fine? |
20580 | Are there new oaths, still unused, oaths worn at the knees, patched oaths and ragged oaths? |
20580 | Are there then several sorts of oaths? |
20580 | Are there, in this business also, masses at forty sous, and masses at ten sous, which latter, as the priest said, are but"rubbish?" |
20580 | Are they more durable, less adulterated with tow and cotton, better dyed? |
20580 | Are you aware of this? |
20580 | Arrested for what? |
20580 | As for the plan in itself, as for that all- embracing idea of universal repression, whence came it? |
20580 | BOOK IV THE OTHER CRIMES I SINISTER QUESTIONS What was the number of the dead? |
20580 | BOOK VII THE ABSOLUTION:--SECOND PHASE: THE OATH I FOR AN OATH, AN OATH AND A HALF What is Louis Bonaparte? |
20580 | Before whom? |
20580 | But after all, what does this prove? |
20580 | But do you know what results from this sort of power? |
20580 | But does he, at least, do himself justice, this Bonaparte? |
20580 | But even this socialism of M. Bonaparte, what is it? |
20580 | But how are we to do it? |
20580 | But if the good professors depart, will there be any more good pupils? |
20580 | But of what Senate are you speaking? |
20580 | But why should we look back so far? |
20580 | But with one fête only how are two parties to be satisfied-- the soldier party and the priest party? |
20580 | By whom? |
20580 | Can it be that this is the end? |
20580 | Can it reasonably expect that the police judges will be still more base and more contemptible than they? |
20580 | Can one imagine a blind pilot at the helm? |
20580 | Can one imagine a judge with his ears stuffed and his eyes put out? |
20580 | Can you form any idea of the frenzied shouts and imprecations that would greet such words? |
20580 | Conquest by ideas,--who wants it? |
20580 | Conquest by the sword,--who wants it? |
20580 | Conversion of_ rentes_? |
20580 | Credit Foncier? |
20580 | Did he offer that? |
20580 | Did it happen so? |
20580 | Did not the one dream of Cromwell, the other of Monk? |
20580 | Did the Lower Empire possess America? |
20580 | Did they not announce that the Constitution of 1848 would prove a"red chamber?" |
20580 | Do I mean thereby that the Republic would not have come? |
20580 | Do we mean to declare that nobody really voted for M. Bonaparte? |
20580 | Do you believe that God keeps repeating himself? |
20580 | Do you imagine that Providence repeats itself so tamely? |
20580 | Do you insist on an archduchess? |
20580 | Do you know that Messieurs So- and- So won town houses and country houses in the Circuit Railway alone? |
20580 | Do you know that, under the Lower Empire, Constantinople fell in ruins, and finally had only thirty thousand inhabitants? |
20580 | Do you know why? |
20580 | Do you like soldiers? |
20580 | Do you not hear Baroche growl, and Dupin thunder? |
20580 | Do you not see that simply to set forth such a state of affairs is to explain, to demonstrate, and to solve everything? |
20580 | Do you think of that? |
20580 | Does God allow and acquiesce in such burials? |
20580 | Does he smell of tobacco? |
20580 | Does it think of that? |
20580 | Does the Dictator smell of incense? |
20580 | Does the quality of the oath vary with the price? |
20580 | Emperor? |
20580 | Expect caprices, surprises, stupefying, bewildering things, the most unexpected combinations of words, the most fearless cacophony? |
20580 | For what was France before, if you please? |
20580 | France was the teacher of the peoples, and conquered them by love; to what end? |
20580 | From all these office- holders? |
20580 | From that general? |
20580 | From that magistrate? |
20580 | From that prefect? |
20580 | From whom? |
20580 | Had the Lower Empire behind it John Huss, Luther, Cervantes, Shakespere, Pascal, Molière, Voltaire, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Mirabeau? |
20580 | Had the Lower Empire behind it the taking of the Bastile, the Federation, Danton, Robespierre, the Convention? |
20580 | Had the Lower Empire the compass, the electric battery, the printing press, the newspaper, the locomotive, the electric telegraph? |
20580 | Had the Lower Empire those two ideas, country and humanity: country which enlarges the heart, humanity which expands the horizon? |
20580 | Had the Lower Empire universal suffrage? |
20580 | Has Paris fallen so low? |
20580 | Has he a glimmering, an idea, a suspicion, the slightest perception, of his infamy? |
20580 | Has he not to a certain extent''made Socialism?''" |
20580 | Has such a thing been seen in these days? |
20580 | Have not some of your good women been outraged?" |
20580 | Have you a shako on your head? |
20580 | Have you done it? |
20580 | Have you ever thought of what that man is who teaches children? |
20580 | He exclaims:"Do you know what your centralized administration may become in the hands of a perjured executive power? |
20580 | He said to them:"You are no judges; where is the law? |
20580 | His 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? |
20580 | How is it when all three are wanting? |
20580 | How is the republic to be established? |
20580 | How many contrasting figures are there from Danton to Thiers? |
20580 | How many corpses bestrew the_ coup d''état_ of December? |
20580 | How many figures that resemble one another, from Barère to Baroche, from Lafayette to Cavaignac? |
20580 | How much more is there in M. Baroche''s oath than in M. Vidocq''s? |
20580 | How satisfy the one without failing the other? |
20580 | How then are they to be got at? |
20580 | How was the question put? |
20580 | How? |
20580 | II DIFFERENCE IN PRICE And from whom, then, are oaths required? |
20580 | IV WHO REALLY VOTED FOR M. BONAPARTE? |
20580 | If they take France from out their hearts, what remains to them? |
20580 | Is France despised? |
20580 | Is Italy despised? |
20580 | Is M. Bonaparte a dictator? |
20580 | Is he a prince? |
20580 | Is he an adventurer? |
20580 | Is he making a collection of them? |
20580 | Is it Schahabaham? |
20580 | Is it Tiberius? |
20580 | Is it because this question is on a lower plane? |
20580 | Is it not a mockery merely to pronounce the words? |
20580 | Is it not, worthy peasants, driven from France, who have no roof to shelter you, and no shoes to your feet? |
20580 | Is it possible? |
20580 | Is it the Senate of which Napoleon said in 1805:"The poltroons were afraid of displeasing me? |
20580 | Is 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?" |
20580 | Is it the Senate whose duty it was to deliberate on the description of sauce with which the Emperor should eat his turbot? |
20580 | Is it the same as with masses? |
20580 | Is it this bundle of sheets which is called a book? |
20580 | Is it this machine of wood and iron which is called a press? |
20580 | Is it this sheet of paper that is called a journal? |
20580 | Is it true? |
20580 | Is n''t it a much shorter way to trample the judges under foot? |
20580 | Is n''t it much more simple to crush justice? |
20580 | Is n''t it much more simple to destroy the liberty of the press? |
20580 | Is n''t it much more simple to take one''s seat on the throne of the emperor? |
20580 | Is one to be stopped by such stuff as that? |
20580 | Is there a Senate then? |
20580 | Is there any choice? |
20580 | Is this all? |
20580 | Is this the fact, or is it not? |
20580 | M. Bonaparte took for his opponent in this contest, whom? |
20580 | M. de Chambord? |
20580 | M. de Joinville? |
20580 | Now do you comprehend the infamous counsel which the success of M. Bonaparte gives to this class? |
20580 | Now let us answer the question we just now proposed: Without the 2nd of December, what would have occurred in 1852? |
20580 | Now, by whom was this letter written? |
20580 | Now, do you understand? |
20580 | Now, let us see: did M. Bonaparte, in his ballot of the 20th of December, obey these axioms? |
20580 | Now, what is the future of France to be? |
20580 | Now, what were the obstacles to this future, to this magnificent realization of the democratic ideal? |
20580 | Of bronze? |
20580 | Of what do they speak? |
20580 | Of what profit has it been to this day? |
20580 | One asks oneself:"How did he do it?" |
20580 | One day it was enveloped in a tempest; it marched over the abyss, and said to the frightened nations:"Why are you afraid?" |
20580 | Railways? |
20580 | Seven million, eight million, ten million, what does it matter? |
20580 | Shall we judge him by the eight months he has reigned? |
20580 | Shall we see once more the Empress Zoé, Roman Argyrio, Nicephorus Logothetes, Michael Calafates? |
20580 | Some fine morning he wakes and yawns, rubs his eyes, takes his pen and decrees-- what? |
20580 | Suppose those demagogues should write? |
20580 | Suppose those fellows should speak? |
20580 | Tell us, who played him that trick? |
20580 | That no one knowingly and willingly accepted that man? |
20580 | That no one voluntarily said"Aye?" |
20580 | The Republic? |
20580 | The magistrate asked Captain Crow:"Did you see the passengers drink?" |
20580 | The magistrate:"Did you not offer the commandant of the station a sum of money if he would march with you?" |
20580 | The orator continues:"Do you know what your standing army may become at any moment? |
20580 | The question resolves itself into this: Did any one hear a pistol or musket shot fired from one of the houses on the boulevard? |
20580 | The sick? |
20580 | This document being cited for what it is worth, the question is, what is the true total? |
20580 | This is evidently unjust; why such a difference? |
20580 | This, socialism? |
20580 | Though it be fallen and fallen for ever, is Greece despised? |
20580 | VII THE ADHERENTS Who are they that flock round the establishment? |
20580 | Voted what? |
20580 | Was any choice possible? |
20580 | Was it divined? |
20580 | Was it four hundred?" |
20580 | Was it suspected? |
20580 | Was it to do righteous deeds? |
20580 | Was this known among the people? |
20580 | We will both vote for him, wo n''t we, M. de Montalembert? |
20580 | Well, what would you have us do in the matter? |
20580 | What books have they in their hands? |
20580 | What but the Jacquerie was the red spectre? |
20580 | What came forth from the cloud? |
20580 | What can he do? |
20580 | What care they about sharing his ignominy, provided they share his fortune? |
20580 | What conclusion does the_ coup d''état_ thence derive? |
20580 | What conclusion? |
20580 | What courts? |
20580 | What did he intend doing? |
20580 | What did you do in those dark hours? |
20580 | What do you want us to do with it? |
20580 | What does M. Bonaparte do with all these oaths? |
20580 | What does M. Bonaparte do? |
20580 | What does he lack then? |
20580 | What dream is this? |
20580 | What errand summoned these men in red robes to this man in a black coat? |
20580 | What figure is that? |
20580 | What forms do their arts assume, their laws, their manners, their clothing, their pleasures, their fashions? |
20580 | What had been the cause of that? |
20580 | What has M. Bonaparte done with it? |
20580 | What has he done? |
20580 | What has he given you as compensation? |
20580 | What have you to say to"parliamentarism"? |
20580 | What is done for him? |
20580 | What is the exact figure of his victims? |
20580 | What is the great date for them, as for us? |
20580 | What is the placard pasted on the walls of their theatres? |
20580 | What is to become of him? |
20580 | What is to become of the sick? |
20580 | What language do they speak? |
20580 | What names do they know by heart? |
20580 | What nightmare is this? |
20580 | What of it? |
20580 | What of it? |
20580 | What of it? |
20580 | What of it? |
20580 | What of it? |
20580 | What shall we say of it? |
20580 | What signified a few dead bodies, more or less? |
20580 | What sort of place is that wherein reside all kinds of cynicism and all kinds of hypocrisy? |
20580 | What then? |
20580 | What was in their minds? |
20580 | What was the crime of these men? |
20580 | What was to be done? |
20580 | What will they do with it? |
20580 | What would you have? |
20580 | What''s that? |
20580 | What''s to be done? |
20580 | What, all? |
20580 | Whence comes it? |
20580 | Whence comes this government? |
20580 | Where are the little ones? |
20580 | Where are those times, those glorious times, interspersed with storms, but glorious, when all was life, when all was liberty, when all was glory? |
20580 | Where does he put them? |
20580 | Where is common sense? |
20580 | Where is the street, the faubourg, the lamp burning bright before the door, the friends, the workshop, the trade, the customary toil? |
20580 | Where? |
20580 | Where? |
20580 | Where? |
20580 | Where? |
20580 | Wherefore? |
20580 | Who added? |
20580 | Who appoints the servant? |
20580 | Who are those prisoners? |
20580 | Who at the Palais Bourbon? |
20580 | Who at the Palais d''Orsay? |
20580 | Who at the Palais de Justice? |
20580 | Who can tell what takes place in those nocturnal_ tête- à- têtes_ between Arago and Jupiter? |
20580 | Who can tell? |
20580 | Who certified? |
20580 | Who checked? |
20580 | Who could solve the two problems at the same time? |
20580 | Who counted? |
20580 | Who did solve them? |
20580 | Who does not permit it? |
20580 | Who examined? |
20580 | Who forbids it? |
20580 | Who is at the Élysée and the Tuileries? |
20580 | Who is established at the Luxembourg? |
20580 | Who is the man seated on the prisoners''bench, the man whom Magnan covers with"scorn,"the man towards whom Magnan turns his"indignant"face? |
20580 | Who knows? |
20580 | Who knows? |
20580 | Who made the proclamation? |
20580 | Who opposes it? |
20580 | Who prevented him from putting down eight millions, or ten millions,--a good round sum? |
20580 | Who reigns, in God''s name? |
20580 | Who said this? |
20580 | Who said this? |
20580 | Who set up the working- man''s scaffold? |
20580 | Who speaks thus? |
20580 | Who was it, pray, who said that the South Sea savages call the French the"_ oui- ouis_?" |
20580 | Who will ever know? |
20580 | Whom do they guillotine? |
20580 | Whom? |
20580 | Whom? |
20580 | Why do you want to change it, to put an end to it? |
20580 | Why not? |
20580 | Why seven million five hundred thousand? |
20580 | Why? |
20580 | Will he be less severely punished for that reason? |
20580 | Would you like to know what it calls you, even among your friends? |
20580 | X"Was this end attained? |
20580 | X----, you, whom I intended to urge for promotion, you come here to- day and admit all this?'' |
20580 | XI RECAPITULATION But we are asked:"Are you going a little too far? |
20580 | You enter the house of a schoolmaster,--salute him more profoundly; do you know what he is doing? |
20580 | You 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? |
20580 | and do you know the reason why? |
20580 | and from whom, I ask again? |
20580 | and said to him:"Can you conceive the assurance of this Bonaparte? |
20580 | are you not unjust? |
20580 | by what?" |
20580 | cries an orator of the Convention,"do you propose to cut short my speech?" |
20580 | despise France? |
20580 | governed, do I say? |
20580 | have we already reached the point that it is necessary to remind the reader of their source? |
20580 | hear you that crashing noise, all- pervading and formidable? |
20580 | hear you that dull sound? |
20580 | how will they occupy it? |
20580 | impossible? |
20580 | is it night? |
20580 | is it the Empire? |
20580 | is that what you would have me do? |
20580 | it is horrible to think and to say, but is it possible that we no longer think of it? |
20580 | it replied:"I am the truth;"and to those who asked:"Whence comest thou?" |
20580 | of what is France thinking? |
20580 | others:"whom are we going to see at the Hotel de Ville?" |
20580 | replies a coarse voice with a Dutch accent;"so you mistrust parliamentarism, do you?" |
20580 | said some;"Who is this giant?" |
20580 | the soldier, who would regain his freedom, would applaud, but what would the officer say? |
20580 | there is a moral side, then? |
20580 | were the Legitimists allowed to turn towards their exiled prince, and towards the ancient honour of the_ fleurs- de- lys_? |
20580 | what are these men who command our regiments, and who govern us? |
20580 | what do you want of us?" |
20580 | what happiness to be banished, to be disgraced, to be ruined,--is it not, brave workmen? |
20580 | what is it that he demands of France, this man- ambuscade? |
20580 | what is it? |
20580 | what parodies are we destined to see and hear? |
20580 | what sort of place is that, whence no idea has issued that has not been a plot, no action that has not been a crime? |
20580 | what spectacle is this? |
20580 | where are they all? |
20580 | where is reason? |
20580 | where is the brother? |
20580 | where is the mother? |
20580 | where is the wife? |
20580 | where is the wood, the tree, the forest path, the roof filled with nests, the church tower surrounded by tombs? |
20580 | where is truth? |
20580 | whither will they lead it? |
20580 | who could tell? |
20580 | who will give them bread? |
20580 | who will give them their father''s kiss? |
20580 | without one exception? |
20580 | ye proscribed, of what do you complain? |
34474 | A disaster hath befallen the Dauphin? |
34474 | A priest, messire? 34474 A priest?" |
34474 | Abjure? |
34474 | Ah, Sieur Pierre,she said,"where shall I be to- night?" |
34474 | Alone? |
34474 | And did the Domremy boys give a good account of themselves? |
34474 | And do you forgive me, my little one? 34474 And father?" |
34474 | And how did you get the gash? |
34474 | And how is Aveline? |
34474 | And how kept you yours? |
34474 | And if he does not? 34474 And not from the maid at all?" |
34474 | And what do you say, Hauviette? |
34474 | And who is to tell him what I say? |
34474 | And why not bed them, mother? 34474 And why not retire to the Castle of the Island, my children?" |
34474 | And why to Poictiers? |
34474 | And with him stands my uncle, Durand Lassois: he who took me to Vaucouleurs, you remember? |
34474 | And you in truth made that long perilous journey to speak with the King? |
34474 | And you, I doubt not, are that Burgundy who hath beguiled the gentle King with fair words and false promises? |
34474 | And your standard? |
34474 | Are not you the little maid who dressed my wounded arm at your father''s house in Domremy? |
34474 | Are there no cudgels to be had that you should use the sacred weapon? 34474 Are we to turn our backs?" |
34474 | Are you grieving over the cattle and the goods? |
34474 | Are you hurt, Mengette? |
34474 | Are you in truth going to get it for me, father? |
34474 | Are you the Count of Dunois? |
34474 | Are you the maid concerning whom letters have come to the King from Vaucouleurs? |
34474 | At once? |
34474 | But Aveline, Jeanne? |
34474 | But how will they know that it is the sword that you mean? |
34474 | But what made you think of coming? |
34474 | But where are the boys? |
34474 | Call you? 34474 Can Orléans hold out forever? |
34474 | Colet, 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? |
34474 | Dear Maid, have you forgot Paris? 34474 Did mother go on a pilgrimage to Puy en Velay?" |
34474 | Did the priests know that the sword was there? |
34474 | Did you know before you were taken that you would be captured? |
34474 | Did you not call me, mother? |
34474 | Did you not promise and swear not to resume the dress of a man? |
34474 | Did you not say that you had received divine direction regarding it also? |
34474 | Did you think that I would leave her while she has need of me, Uncle Durand? |
34474 | Do n''t you, Mengette? |
34474 | Do you believe in God? |
34474 | Do you like it, my little one? |
34474 | Do you mean to reflect upon the honor of our cousin Burgundy? |
34474 | Does it hurt much? |
34474 | Does your Counsel tell you to say this? |
34474 | Eh? 34474 For do not the wayfarers bring you news of all that happens beyond the mountains?" |
34474 | From Rome? |
34474 | Go back now, Jeanne? |
34474 | Has anything happened to the flocks? |
34474 | Have I not seen you somewhere, messire? |
34474 | Have 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?" |
34474 | Have you marked, Isabeau, that she no longer dances with the other children? 34474 Have you not good faith in the Lord?" |
34474 | Have you not heard that a woman should lose France, and that a Maid should save France? |
34474 | Have you nothing further to say? |
34474 | Have you witnesses to prove this? |
34474 | Have you, as''tis said, a message for the King? |
34474 | Have your voices told you that also, Jeanne? |
34474 | Hear 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?" |
34474 | How can they help it, mother, when even grown people fight their enemies when they meet? |
34474 | How can you say that? 34474 How could you know that a disaster hath befallen him to- day?" |
34474 | How could you understand, father? 34474 How did you come to speak so to him, Jeanne?" |
34474 | How did you know, uncle? |
34474 | How do you do, Jeanne? |
34474 | How is father? |
34474 | I know quite well that you are sent to question me,spoke the maiden with spirit,"but of what avail is it? |
34474 | I think she must be inspired in very truth, Jean; else how is it that she stands the journey as she does? 34474 I, Messire? |
34474 | If you feared it, why were you not on your guard? |
34474 | In God''s name, my fair duke, why do they ask so many questions instead of setting me about my work? |
34474 | In God''s name, why do they not set me about my work? |
34474 | In what language, Pucelle, do these voices speak to you? |
34474 | Is aught amiss? 34474 Is it your pleasure to have dinner, messire?" |
34474 | Is not the Dauphin master of his presence? 34474 Is she-- is she dead?" |
34474 | Is that all, Jeanne? |
34474 | Is this thy daughter? |
34474 | It would seem so, my child; but, unless there were cause why should he take this action? |
34474 | Jacques,ejaculated his wife reprovingly,"what are you saying? |
34474 | Jeanne, do you in truth know that? |
34474 | Jeanne, in what place do you expect to die? |
34474 | Jeanne, ma mie, what is it? |
34474 | Know you not that there are perils enough about us without giving a false alarm? 34474 Make peace, Sire; but--""But what, dear Maid?" |
34474 | May I hear mass before entering the court? |
34474 | Messire, would I not, were I betrothed to this man, go abroad with him to church, to dances, or to other public places? |
34474 | Mother scolding? 34474 Mother, did my father do that?" |
34474 | Not go back, my little one? |
34474 | Now then, Jeanne, did not your Voices promise you deliverance? |
34474 | Now who can it be that fares forth in such weather to go visiting? |
34474 | Of me, father? |
34474 | Of what? |
34474 | Oh, dost thou jarnedieu? |
34474 | Said I not so, Alain? |
34474 | Shall I be believed if I speak? |
34474 | Shall I be believed? |
34474 | Shall I burn? |
34474 | Shall I get you some fresh water, father? |
34474 | Shall I not speak to Sire Robert first, Jeanne? |
34474 | Since last Thursday have you heard your Voices? |
34474 | So you are the Pucelle? |
34474 | So? |
34474 | The King? |
34474 | Then what is it? |
34474 | Then why fret about telling the King what ye believe? |
34474 | Then why go to him? |
34474 | Then will you relate how the commands were given to you? |
34474 | There could n''t be one; could there, Jean? |
34474 | There is naught but good in that, so what makes the people talk so? |
34474 | Think you that I heed what a mad woman says? |
34474 | Think you that the Governor would listen to her if she were to go to him again? |
34474 | Thou who art so near death? |
34474 | To Poictiers? |
34474 | To Vaucouleurs? |
34474 | To- 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?" |
34474 | We will willingly give you one or two worthy men who speak French; will you say your Pater to them? |
34474 | We--"What''s that about going to fighting? |
34474 | Well, ma mie,he said banteringly,"what are you doing here? |
34474 | Were you, mother? |
34474 | What ails you, Jacques? |
34474 | What can be done? |
34474 | What can they mean? |
34474 | What did they say to you? |
34474 | What do you fear, messire? |
34474 | What do you mean, Colin? |
34474 | What do you think, Jeanne? |
34474 | What for? |
34474 | What has come over you, Jeanne? |
34474 | What hath happened? |
34474 | What have you to say to this article? |
34474 | What is abjure? |
34474 | What is it that I am to do? |
34474 | What is it that you have really decided? 34474 What is it, father?" |
34474 | What is it, ma mie? |
34474 | What is it, messire? |
34474 | What is the danger that may befall him? |
34474 | What is the use in having learned men ask me questions when I know neither A nor B? |
34474 | What is this that I hear about your visiting Sire Robert de Baudricourt? |
34474 | What shall be done now? |
34474 | What then, Jeanne? |
34474 | What would you of me, messire? |
34474 | What would your father say to you should aught happen to the sheep? 34474 What?" |
34474 | When did you come? 34474 When does messire, the bishop, wish to see me?" |
34474 | When may I begin, sire? |
34474 | When shall we go? |
34474 | Where are you going? |
34474 | Where did you get such notions? 34474 Where got you such skill in military matters, Jeanne?" |
34474 | Who is Messire? |
34474 | Who taught you where to set those guns? 34474 Why did n''t you pack them yourselves?" |
34474 | Why 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?" |
34474 | Why do you speak so, Jeanne? |
34474 | Why does it have the notches upon it, father? |
34474 | Why fret indeed? 34474 Why have you come to Court?" |
34474 | Why have you done this? |
34474 | Why, Jeanne, you do n''t mean that he wants to see me? |
34474 | Why, child, what brings you home so early? |
34474 | Will you not tell us in the presence of the King the nature of this Counsel? |
34474 | Will you really do what you say? |
34474 | Wish that Jeanne D''Arc would not be so good? |
34474 | With mother? |
34474 | Wolves? |
34474 | Would it not be best to take it without bloodshed? |
34474 | Would n''t you, Pierrelot? |
34474 | Would you sell this ring, good father? |
34474 | Would you travel in that garb, pucelle? 34474 You did not? |
34474 | You hear? |
34474 | You mean to walk there, Jeanne? |
34474 | You must believe me, uncle,spoke the girl pleadingly,"Have I not always been truthful?" |
34474 | You were prisoners to the Duke of Lorraine? |
34474 | You will return with me, Jeanne? 34474 You will, messire?" |
34474 | You wish me to do what, child? |
34474 | You? |
34474 | Your 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? |
34474 | A prisoner? |
34474 | After a time he raised his head to ask brokenly,"She told the Sire Captain that she would come again, Durand?" |
34474 | After each one the young doctor paused to ask? |
34474 | After they had spoken the bishop turned to the girl kindly and said:"And where is thy counsel, my child?" |
34474 | All but her, and what could she have done to help me an there had been a wolf?" |
34474 | All feared for the result, for what chance would a peasant maid stand with such wise men? |
34474 | All the harshness and severity that I showed you? |
34474 | And her parents? |
34474 | And now you have come here with a mission? |
34474 | And why do you want to take the sheep elsewhere? |
34474 | And you wish it too, do you not, Hauviette?" |
34474 | And, Hauviette, did Isabeau tell you that they wanted to know whether Jeanne ever carried a mandrake?" |
34474 | As he still hesitated she added:"Ah, gentle duke, are you afraid? |
34474 | As the trumpets sounded the assault, and he did not advance, Jeanne turned upon him quickly:"Why do you hesitate?" |
34474 | Be hunted like wild beasts, and killed if they can not pay ransom? |
34474 | Bertrand, man, does not the flavor of that stew assail your nostrils deliciously?" |
34474 | Build, for men- at- arms to burn? |
34474 | But I made up for it afterward; did n''t I, Pierre?" |
34474 | But is it by evil or by good spirits that you speak?" |
34474 | But you? |
34474 | Can they not see that she is one of God''s saints?" |
34474 | Can you in very truth do as you say: raise the siege of Orléans, and bring the King to his anointing?" |
34474 | Catherine?" |
34474 | Colin? |
34474 | Could it be that that was what Martin had heard? |
34474 | Did I not, Colin?" |
34474 | Did Pierre too feel for their suffering country? |
34474 | Did you look well to the money?" |
34474 | Did you wish to see them?" |
34474 | Didst not hear them say that they knew of your engagement to Colin?" |
34474 | Do we have to carry the tables and the paddles home, Jeanne? |
34474 | Do you hear, Jeanne?" |
34474 | Do you not know that I promised your wife to bring you back safe and sound?" |
34474 | Fair Dauphin, did you tell to any one the prayer that you made?" |
34474 | For were they not likely to lose the beasts forever on the morrow? |
34474 | For who that had not kinship with the Divine could transcend the weakness of the flesh as did this girl of seventeen? |
34474 | Had he ever heard her, Jeanne, speak of being engaged to Colin? |
34474 | Had he seen her at church, or any public place with Colin? |
34474 | Has your mother been scolding you?" |
34474 | Hast thou not heard that France ruined by a woman shall by a virgin be restored? |
34474 | Have you been accustomed to riding?" |
34474 | Have you never heard that though a woman should lose France, from the march of Lorraine a Virgin shall come for its redemption?" |
34474 | Have you thought of that?" |
34474 | Have you thought of that?" |
34474 | He dragged himself up as well as he could upon his horse, and galloped up to her, crying:"What are you doing here alone, Pucelle? |
34474 | Here Doctor Jean de Mascon, a"very wise man,"said to her:"My child, are you come to raise the siege?" |
34474 | Here and there an English soldier laughed, and suddenly a hoarse voice cried:"You priests, are you going to keep us here all day?" |
34474 | How could he, when I did not call? |
34474 | How could she approach such a man? |
34474 | How did you get here?" |
34474 | How then could I lead men- at- arms?" |
34474 | How was that faith kept?" |
34474 | How would they receive her? |
34474 | I have but to speak the truth; have I not?" |
34474 | I?" |
34474 | If receiving an answer to earnest prayer be witchcraft were not the maidens of Lagny equally guilty with Jeanne? |
34474 | If they be not true, why then do you besiege the good city of Compiègne, bringing suffering upon your own people? |
34474 | Is it not a secure stronghold?" |
34474 | Is it not his to say who shall, or who shall not be admitted to him?" |
34474 | Is it not so?" |
34474 | Is it true?" |
34474 | Is not that a Friar turning in from the highway, Isabeau?" |
34474 | Is not that a thing allowed to every prisoner?" |
34474 | Is not that best?" |
34474 | Is there aught from your heavenly visitors that would answer that prayer?" |
34474 | Is there in truth danger?" |
34474 | Is there not some gift or boon that you wish other than this?" |
34474 | Is this what you promised me?" |
34474 | Jeanne a heretic? |
34474 | Know you not that La Hire, the fiercest soldier of the Armagnacs, says,''Never was a king who lost his kingdom so gay as Charles?'' |
34474 | Know you not that the whole countryside is talking of you? |
34474 | Know you where the lads are? |
34474 | Must my children too live always in the midst of strife? |
34474 | Must the King be driven from his Kingdom, and we all turn English?" |
34474 | Must they too count on nothing; neither their goods, nor their lives? |
34474 | Must they too sow for soldiers to reap? |
34474 | Of what avail would such a small number be against an attacking force of freebooters?" |
34474 | Oh, Jacques, must France always be torn by war?" |
34474 | Oh, is not God good to give us so fine day for our pleasure?" |
34474 | Oh, would n''t the Godons run when they saw you?" |
34474 | One of them cried:"How can you set forth on such a journey when there are men- at- arms on every hand?" |
34474 | Or are n''t you through washing yet?" |
34474 | Pierre, will you see to the oxen? |
34474 | Presently he said, wistfully:"Do n''t you ever get afraid in battle, Jeanne? |
34474 | Presently 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?" |
34474 | Ransom? |
34474 | Resistance to the force that was with Antoine was out of the question, so what could they do? |
34474 | She had been deceived once; how could she know that the captains would keep the promise to return with the soldiers? |
34474 | She is but a peasant girl, and when hath a villein''s daughter ever ridden a horse, or couched a lance? |
34474 | She knew no language but French, so what other could the Voices use? |
34474 | Sire Bertrand leaned over to Jean de Metz and spoke in an awed tone:"Saw you that, Jean? |
34474 | So this was what Colin had been about in his absence? |
34474 | So what would be the use of coming here Thursday?" |
34474 | So when she said again:"Is anything amiss, Jeanne?" |
34474 | So you are that little maid? |
34474 | Solemnly he spoke:"How know you this, Maid?" |
34474 | The girl was so young, so fair, so slight, yet what great deeds had she not wrought? |
34474 | The song?" |
34474 | The wound?" |
34474 | Then drawing her mystic sword she waved it above her head, crying:"Dost thou so speak, Classidas? |
34474 | Then you can hear me in confession?" |
34474 | There was not the least flicker of amusement in his countenance as he said:"Well, my little maid, what brings thee here this time?" |
34474 | Therefore, was it not better that I should take her?" |
34474 | They asked her one day:"Do you know that you are in the grace of God?" |
34474 | They follow us, do they not, Jean?" |
34474 | This visit is for the day only, is it not?" |
34474 | Upon what were the people to live? |
34474 | Was she inspired, or possessed? |
34474 | Was the girl really an inspired prophetess, or a witch? |
34474 | We are to march there from here, and who can lead the men- at- arms to the storming so well as you? |
34474 | Were they too concerned in the matter? |
34474 | What business had you with him?" |
34474 | What could a maid do in such matters? |
34474 | What does it mean?" |
34474 | What guerdon shall be yours for these amazing labors?" |
34474 | What is it, Jeanne? |
34474 | What is the matter?" |
34474 | What is your name?" |
34474 | What is your sign, Pucelle?" |
34474 | What made you think that I called you?" |
34474 | What made you think that I called you?" |
34474 | What need, therefore, is there for you, a young girl, to go to the Dauphin?" |
34474 | What sign can you give us that you can perform them?" |
34474 | What sign can you give?" |
34474 | What then?" |
34474 | What voices?" |
34474 | What wonder that she wept? |
34474 | What wonder then, that when the divine call came, it was heard and heeded? |
34474 | What wouldst thou have with me?" |
34474 | What, a young girl fair and lovely as was this peasant maid to deliver France? |
34474 | What?" |
34474 | When do we start?" |
34474 | When will you set forth?" |
34474 | Whence came that indomitable spirit and courage? |
34474 | Where did you say the flowers were?" |
34474 | Where do you bide? |
34474 | Where is the pain?" |
34474 | Where were La Hire, Dunois, Alençon, Boussac, Rais, and other captains that no sword was drawn for Jeanne? |
34474 | Whip Jeanne, who was so good and sweet? |
34474 | Whip her? |
34474 | Who could guess that lords and knights of the Christian faith, holding captive the gentle Duke of Orléans, would besiege his own city? |
34474 | Who else has shown such courage and high heart since the beginning of the world? |
34474 | Who taught you to be so deft in such matters?" |
34474 | Why did they not leave France and go back to their own country?" |
34474 | Why did they not tell me?" |
34474 | Why do they not stay in their own country?" |
34474 | Why do they not take Messire''s word as it comes to them? |
34474 | Why do you fear to tell me what it is? |
34474 | Why do you not retreat with the others?" |
34474 | Why will you burn?" |
34474 | Why, what ails you, my little one?" |
34474 | Why, why did you permit it?" |
34474 | Will you go with me?" |
34474 | Will you let her go, Jacques?" |
34474 | Will you take me to Sire Robert?" |
34474 | You are getting ready to be a saint, are n''t you?" |
34474 | You are, I should judge, not over sixteen?" |
34474 | how is she?" |
34474 | she cried wonderingly;"and am I to die here?" |
34474 | where are you? |
34474 | why did you not keep her from going to Vaucouleurs? |
19488 | And what do you say if I have promised and sworn to our King not to put off these clothes? 19488 Are they indeed real?" |
19488 | Are you a gentleman? |
19488 | Are you a knight? |
19488 | But inasmuch as you have been taken hath not the angel failed you with regard to the good things of this life? |
19488 | But the year? |
19488 | Did Saint Denys ever appear to you? 19488 Did he hold scales?" |
19488 | Did not the angel who brought the sign speak? |
19488 | Did the Angel come along the ground, walking from the door of the room? |
19488 | Did the Angel who bore it come from above, or did he come from the earth? |
19488 | Did the churchmen of your party behold the sign? |
19488 | Did you actually behold Saint Michael and these angels in the body? |
19488 | Did you ever kiss and embrace the Saints, Catherine and Margaret? |
19488 | Did you know you were to be taken? |
19488 | Did you not abjure, and promise not to return to this dress? |
19488 | Did you not give them chaplets of flowers? |
19488 | Did you not say that it should come to pass before Saint Martin in the winter? |
19488 | Did you see a crown on the King''s head when you gave him this sign? |
19488 | Did you touch it or kiss it? |
19488 | Did your King and you make any reverence to the angel when he brought the sign? |
19488 | Do you believe that your Voices and apparitions come from good or from evil spirits? |
19488 | Do you believe that your Voices are Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine? |
19488 | Do you know whether Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret hate the English? |
19488 | Do you not trust in the Lord? |
19488 | Do 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?" |
19488 | Do you still believe in your Voices? |
19488 | Do you think and firmly believe that your King did right to kill or cause to be killed my Lord of Burgundy? |
19488 | Does God hate the English? |
19488 | Had he hair? |
19488 | Had your King a crown at Reims? |
19488 | Have you heard your Voices since Thursday? |
19488 | Have you seen that richer crown? |
19488 | How 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?" |
19488 | How can you,urges Jean Beaupère,"see this light which you say appears to you, if it is on your right?" |
19488 | How do you know this? |
19488 | How far was it from the door to the King? |
19488 | How? |
19488 | In God''s name, was I ever in such a place? |
19488 | In the good things of grace hath not your angel failed you? |
19488 | In what form and semblance did Saint Michael come to you? 19488 In what manner did the Angel bring the crown? |
19488 | In what semblance was Saint Michael? 19488 Is it of gold or silver, or of precious stones, or is it a crown?" |
19488 | It 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?" |
19488 | Know you aught of those who consort with fairies? |
19488 | Must the King be driven from his kingdom, and must we become English? |
19488 | Of what was the crown made? |
19488 | On the first day that you saw the sign did your King see it? |
19488 | On what day and at what hour? |
19488 | Rascal,he said,"what possesses thee to allow an excommunicated whore to approach a church without permission? |
19488 | Saw you any angel above the King? |
19488 | Then why,asked Maître Pierre again,"if you thought it likely, did you not take better care on the day you were captured?" |
19488 | To what place was the crown brought? |
19488 | Was God on the side of the English when they prospered in France? |
19488 | Was he clothed? |
19488 | Was 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? |
19488 | Was the angel, who brought the sign, the angel who first appeared unto you or another? |
19488 | Were there jewels in it? |
19488 | Were they of a sweet savour? |
19488 | What did they say unto you? |
19488 | What instruction did this Voice give you for the salvation of your soul? |
19488 | What is it? |
19488 | What is that man- at- arms saying? |
19488 | What is the sign that was given to your King? |
19488 | What is this peril or this danger? |
19488 | What part did you kiss, face or feet? |
19488 | What revelations were made unto your King? |
19488 | When embracing them did you feel heat or anything else? |
19488 | When shall this come to pass? |
19488 | When you showed the King the sign was there any one with him? |
19488 | Wherefore did you put it on and who made you? |
19488 | Wherefore did you return to it? |
19488 | Wherefore should he have cut it off? |
19488 | Wherefore was your standard rather than those of the other captains carried into the church of Reims? |
19488 | Which would you prefer, to wear a woman''s dress and hear mass, or to continue in man''s dress and not to hear mass? |
19488 | Will she not come to- morrow? |
19488 | Will 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? |
19488 | And Olibrius said unto her:"How comes it that so noble and beautiful a girl as you can worship Jesus the Crucified?" |
19488 | And could Jeanne fail to listen to them since she had always listened to them whenever they had counselled her to sacrifice and self- abnegation? |
19488 | And finally, why did not the priests, the ecclesiastics of the realm, with one voice demand an appeal to the Holy Father? |
19488 | And how could it be otherwise, seeing that Eve''s fall had effaced the divine likeness in this child? |
19488 | And how could they look to exchange a man accused of treachery for a prisoner of war? |
19488 | And how? |
19488 | And is it not admirable and rare to find such heroism united to such innocence? |
19488 | And now what becomes of those monkish tales of attempted violence related long afterwards by a registrar and two churchmen? |
19488 | And of what miracles was she not capable when acting according to the impulses of her own heart, and the grace of her own mind? |
19488 | And the Philistine said to David:''Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff?'' |
19488 | And what business had he to doubt that Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret, who were on the side of the French, spoke French? |
19488 | And 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? |
19488 | And what use is it to deceive ourselves? |
19488 | And who can say that they were not? |
19488 | And why should the King reconquer so poor a province? |
19488 | And why should the Lord Chamberlain and the Lord Archbishop have wanted to get rid of the Maid? |
19488 | And you, my sweet son, will you have this virgin for your bride?" |
19488 | And, seeing Goliath, he asked:''Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?'' |
19488 | Are they the fault of the Inquisitor or of the author of_ Le Journal_?] |
19488 | Art thou going to keep us here to dinner? |
19488 | At any rate, for that reason or for another, he asked:"Jeanne, in what place look you for to die?" |
19488 | At what age did she become subject to these trances? |
19488 | Basque, what did you promise me?" |
19488 | Brother Jean Lombard asked:"Wherefore have you come? |
19488 | But at heart what did they really think, those who employed her, those Regnaults de Chartres, those Roberts le Maçon, those Gérards Machet? |
19488 | But did he wish her harm? |
19488 | But had it been done on purpose? |
19488 | But had they power to execute their sentence? |
19488 | But how can we imagine that poor husbandmen had leisure to ponder on these things? |
19488 | But how could she have failed to be well versed in deeds of war, since God himself led her against the English? |
19488 | But how could this armed heresy be dealt with when it routed all the forces of the Empire and the Holy See? |
19488 | But how many Norman nobles were like her in refusing to swear fealty to the former enemies of the kingdom? |
19488 | But how was she to go to France? |
19488 | But how? |
19488 | But may the rest of the poem be assigned to 1435 or 1439? |
19488 | But might they not be undeceived? |
19488 | But was he not likely to lose them for ever on the morrow? |
19488 | But was it impossible for seven or eight Armagnac horsemen to traverse English and Burgundian lands without misadventure? |
19488 | But what can be thought of a historian who suppresses Jeanne''s trial because he finds it inconvenient? |
19488 | But what was her substance? |
19488 | But why should there be any? |
19488 | Can they have suspected that this woman, who in France had been considered a saint, might after all have been inspired by the devil? |
19488 | Canst thou be praised enough, thou who hast brought peace to this land laid low by war? |

19488 | Contrite and sorrowful she said to Maître Pierre Maurice:[2547]"Maître Pierre, where shall I be this evening?" |
19488 | Could it be said that if she escaped she would incur excommunication and the spiritual and temporal penalties inflicted on the enemies of religion? |
19488 | Could they say otherwise since they were the voices of her own heart? |
19488 | Could they send her there? |

19488 | Describing them by the word she herself used, he asked:"Is it your Council who speak to you of such things?" |
19488 | Did Brother Seguin so understand it? |
19488 | Did Jeanne suspect the Bishop of designing to poison her? |
19488 | Did 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? |
19488 | Did he not intend to use her against the Burgundians? |
19488 | Did he place it on your King''s head?" |
19488 | Did not the Angel salute Gideon( Judges vi), and Raphaël salute Tobias( Tobit xii)? |
19488 | Did she do great prowess? |
19488 | Did she intend when the war was over to return to Orléans and pass a peaceful old age in a house of her own? |
19488 | Did she say that an angel had saved her from the fire? |
19488 | Did she suffer ill treatment at the hands of a Burgundian band? |
19488 | Did she think of living in it? |
19488 | Did she think that the entrenched camp, Saint- Laurent- des- Orgerils, commanded by Scales, Suffolk, and Talbot would be attacked immediately? |
19488 | Did she want to show the document to some false friend, like Loiseleur, who was deceiving her? |
19488 | Did they mean to carry out the two attacks simultaneously? |
19488 | Did they renounce the project of their own accord or against their will? |
19488 | Did they think her incapable of keeping a secret? |
19488 | Did truces ever hinder Armagnacs and Burgundians from fighting when they had a mind to fight? |
19488 | Did you see the hair on their heads? |
19488 | Do you not remember that I promised your wife to bring you back safe and sound? |
19488 | Does this amount to saying that the young saint had no part whatever in the work of deliverance? |
19488 | Fair Duke, can you be afraid? |
19488 | Fearing lest harm should come to her, he leapt on to his horse, spurred towards her and cried:"What are you doing, all alone? |
19488 | Finding her still alive, in their amazement they could only ask:"Did you leap?" |
19488 | For 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?" |
19488 | Had he not need of her? |
19488 | Had not Saint Geneviève turned away Attila and his barbarian warriors from Paris? |
19488 | Had not a theologian of her own party said that she might be called an angel? |
19488 | Had she abstained from food that morning and if so when had she last partaken of it? |
19488 | Had they arms? |
19488 | Had they no decision to submit to the Pope and to the Council? |
19488 | Had they nothing to say in this matter? |
19488 | Had they really intended to deceive her? |
19488 | Had they rings in their ears? |
19488 | He asked her:"Is it an angel''s voice that speaketh unto you, or the voice of a woman saint or of a man saint? |
19488 | He gave her his hand as a sign that he pledged his word and asked:"When will you set forth?" |
19488 | He went to her, greeted her and asked:''What are you doing in such great haste?'' |

19488 | Holding the Child Jesus in her arms, the Virgin Mary appeared unto her and said:"Catherine, will you take him for your husband? |
19488 | How could Brother Pasquerel, her chaplain, her steward, and the honest squire d''Aulon, have become the accomplices of so clumsy a jest? |
19488 | How could a pious prince disdain so miraculous a source of counsel? |
19488 | How could it be so before the Pope and the Council had pronounced judgment concerning it? |
19488 | How could she have conducted them since she did not know the way? |
19488 | How could the Maid and Blue Beard be associated in a heroic action? |
19488 | How could the Maid have said of the English:"God sends them against us,"when they were fleeing?] |
19488 | How did they speak? |
19488 | How had Jeanne really expressed herself in her dialect savouring alike of the speech of Champagne and of that of l''Île de France? |
19488 | How was she to associate with men- at- arms? |
19488 | How, since she had shown him her angels, invisible to ordinary folk, could she for one moment have thought that he lacked faith in her? |
19488 | If they were not imposed upon, then how can we account for their conduct? |
19488 | In 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? |
19488 | In the morning, when she awoke, she asked:"Did she come?" |
19488 | In what part of the chapel had they found it? |
19488 | In what peril do we stand, we, your judges, and others?" |
19488 | In which case would it not be better to leave them to be dealt with by the_ Godons_? |
19488 | Is it not in the weak things of the world that he maketh his power manifest? |
19488 | Is it not still more wonderful that Samson should have slain so many Philistines with the jaw- bone of an ass? |
19488 | Is it possible to discover these reasons? |
19488 | Jean de Metz asked, as Sire Robert had done:"Who is Messire?" |
19488 | Jean de Metz was filled with no such ardent faith in the prophetess, since he inquired of her:"Will you really do what you say?" |
19488 | Jeanne replies that she had only fasted since the morning, and Maître Beaupère proceeds to ask:_ Q._"In what direction did you hear the voice?" |
19488 | Know ye them one from another?" |
19488 | Martin replied:"Since you know so much about it, why do n''t you perform your errand yourself? |
19488 | May we not interpret as a subtle and delicate reproach the utterance in his presence of this wish, this complaint? |
19488 | Maître Beaupère asked:"Do you know whether you stand in God''s grace?" |
19488 | Maître Guillaume Erard asked Jean Massieu:"Well, what are you saying to her?" |
19488 | Maître Jean Beaupère asked:"When you behold this Voice coming towards you, is there any light?" |
19488 | Maître Jean Beaupère threw out the question:"How did your King come to have faith in your sayings?" |
19488 | Maître Jean Érault, have you ink and paper? |
19488 | Meanwhile, where were the clerks of France? |
19488 | Might not the ceremony be performed in some other town than Reims? |
19488 | Must the King be driven from his kingdom and we all turn English? |
19488 | Must the disgrace of such neglect fall upon the whole Council and upon the Council alone? |
19488 | Notwithstanding he pursued his interrogation:"Do you believe in God?" |
19488 | Of what danger were you speaking? |
19488 | Often she asked:"Will she not come?" |
19488 | On the eve of Patay she had asked:"Have you good spurs? |
19488 | One day he met the damsel and said to her:"Well,_ ma mie_, what are you doing here? |
19488 | One of them, the Bastard of Granville, cried out to her:"Would you have us surrender to a woman?" |
19488 | Or at least why did they not send their evidence? |
19488 | Or is it God speaking without an interpreter?" |
19488 | Or was it her intent to present it to her saints? |
19488 | Ought they not to find their Maid in man''s attire, ready to put on her armour and fight with them? |
19488 | Passing abruptly from Merlin the Magician, Maître Jean Beaupère asked:"Jeanne, will you have a woman''s dress?" |
19488 | Quand le roy s''en vint en France, Il feit oindre ses houssiaulx, Et la royne lui demande: Ou veult aller cest damoiseaulx? |
19488 | Shall we ever discern the true features of her countenance? |
19488 | Shall we turn our backs on them?" |
19488 | She adroitly made answer by asking another question:"Are there two? |
19488 | She must obey them-- but how? |
19488 | She replied:"Doubt ye that Messire lacks wherewithal to clothe himself?" |
19488 | She replied:"How should she speak English, since she is not on the side of the English? |
19488 | She was seditious, for are not all those seditious who support the opposite party? |
19488 | Should he have offered to ransom the Maid? |
19488 | Some peasant? |
19488 | Straightway 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?" |
19488 | Taking her to mean the Count of Clermont''s spurs, the spurs of Rouvray, the Duke of Alençon exclaimed:"What do you say? |
19488 | The King, perceiving, asked her:"My beloved, wherefore laugh ye so merrily?" |
19488 | The citizens of a noble city shall be punished for perjury by defeat, groaning with many groans, and at the entrance[ of Charles?] |
19488 | The examiner asked:"How know ye that they are these two saints? |
19488 | The first question the examiner put Jeanne was:"What say you of our Lord the Pope, and whom think you to be the true pope?" |
19488 | The interrogator asked her:"When the Voice revealed your King to you, was there any light? |
19488 | The last question was:"Did you not say before Paris,''Surrender the town in the name of Jesus''?" |
19488 | The men- at- arms inquired of her:"To- day being the Sabbath, is it wrong to fight?" |
19488 | Then came the following subtle question:"Do you believe that if you were married your Voices would come to you?" |
19488 | Then came this remarkable question:"Have you received letters from Saint Michael or from your Voices?" |
19488 | Then recurred the same old questions:"When you went to the attack on Paris did you receive a revelation from your Voices? |
19488 | Then what was her idea? |
19488 | Then, taking the consecrated host in his fingers and presenting it to Jeanne, he said:"Do you believe this to be the body of Christ?" |
19488 | Thereafter the following questions were put to her:"Do you not believe to- day that fairies are evil spirits?" |
19488 | Think ye that ye will go unpunished? |
19488 | Thus gifted, how could he fail to exercise a powerful control over the government? |
19488 | To the question:"Were you addressing God himself when you promised to remain a virgin?" |
19488 | To the question:"What language do your Voices speak?" |
19488 | Was Jeanne able to communicate with the Carmelites of Melun? |
19488 | Was he tall and how was he clothed?" |
19488 | Was his mystery acted during the last thirty years of the century at the festival instituted to commemorate the taking of Les Tourelles? |
19488 | Was it a revelation that caused you to go to Pont- l''Evêque?" |
19488 | Was it a witch or the enemy of the English he was buying with his ten thousand gold francs? |
19488 | Was it difficult to convict a witch in those days? |
19488 | Was it in case the holders of them should be proceeded against by the French? |
19488 | Was it revealed to you that you should go against La Charité? |
19488 | Was one of those frequent truces ever kept? |
19488 | Was she able to give the custodians of the chapel any signs by which to recognise the sword? |
19488 | Was she not a chieftain of war? |
19488 | Was she right or wrong? |
19488 | Was their hair long and hanging? |
19488 | Was there anything between their crowns and their hair? |
19488 | Was there not something round? |
19488 | Was this the token by which the nobles of Metz recognised her? |
19488 | Were the captains and their men to go into this famine- stricken land? |
19488 | Were these words suggested to him by the enemies of the Maid? |
19488 | Were they her dupes or her accomplices? |
19488 | Were they not all to meet at the Council? |
19488 | Were they not sufficiently edified? |
19488 | What Christian in those days did not hold the practice of saying masses for the dead to be good and salutary? |
19488 | What did it profit King Charles to recognise his cousin''s rights over Paris? |
19488 | What does this mean if not that she was subject to hallucinations of hearing, sight, touch, and smell? |
19488 | What flatterers could better have gratified"the proud weakness of my heart? |
19488 | What fury, what folly, what rage possesses you? |
19488 | What is there strange in that, since he was a strong man? |
19488 | What kind of voices had they? |
19488 | What misfortune befell her at the gates of the town? |
19488 | What ought King Charles to have done? |
19488 | What use did she intend to make of this writing? |
19488 | What was the object of these letters? |
19488 | What was there to vex her in this? |
19488 | What was to become of Orléans? |
19488 | What were the true relations between the Royal Council and the Maid? |
19488 | What 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? |
19488 | What would the doughty La Hire have thought of them? |
19488 | When had she journeyed to Rome? |
19488 | Whence came she? |
19488 | Whence came these copies? |
19488 | Wherefore did the King''s men appear first before the northern walls, those of Charles V, which were the strongest? |
19488 | Wherefore do you essay to make out that they are not one?" |
19488 | Wherefore do you not retreat like the others?" |
19488 | Wherefore had they contrary to their custom summoned her to the Council? |
19488 | Whither did she go? |
19488 | Who can ever be thankful enough unto thee?" |
19488 | Who can say that, after having given credence to the tidings brought by Jean du Lys, the townsfolk did not begin to discover the imposture? |
19488 | Who exalted her as a supernatural power? |
19488 | Who knows? |
19488 | Who ought really to have interfered? |
19488 | Why did Holy Church exercise such severity towards a preacher endowed with so wondrous a power of moving sinful souls? |
19488 | Why did they keep silence? |
19488 | Why did they not demand a safe- conduct and come and give evidence at the trial? |
19488 | Why did they not depart from France and go into their own country?" |
19488 | Why did they not urge their opinions in opposition to those of the Faculties of Paris? |
19488 | Why do you appeal to a poor man like me who knows not how to express himself?" |
19488 | Why is she not English? |
19488 | Why should Charles VII''s Councillors have ceased to employ her? |
19488 | Why should not a like power be granted to a Christian? |
19488 | Why should not another of the illuminated succeed? |
19488 | Why should we imagine historical facts to be out of the ordinary run of things and on a scale different from every- day humanity? |
19488 | Why 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? |
19488 | Will you abjure such of your deeds and sayings as have been condemned by the clerks?" |
19488 | Will you appeal to the Church Militant?" |
19488 | With 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?" |
19488 | Would it not be better in this matter to act in concert with the ecclesiastics of King Charles''s party? |
19488 | Would it not be good Christian charity to present them with fine canonical arguments? |
19488 | Would it not have been madness after that to doubt the existence of witches? |

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

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