26678 | You, too? |
26678 | _ Allons- y_--what do you say to a glass,_ ma belle_? |
26678 | _ C''est toi?_came in answer, and a small hand cautiously opened a heavy overhead shutter, back of which a shaded lamp was burning. |
26678 | _ Dis donc, toi!_he demanded brusquely:"how do they call you?" |
26678 | _ Dis donc_, what is the matter? |
26678 | _ Eh ben!_ How is it with the kid? |

26678 | _ Eh, bien!_ my child,I returned--"and it is thus you take such happy news?" |
26678 | _ Mon Dieu!_ What will you have, monsieur? |
26678 | _ Mon Dieu!_ What will you have? 26678 _ Mon Dieu!_ and they give you all that for nothing?" |
26678 | _ Penses- tu?_added the girl, since Garron did not reply. |
26678 | _ Tu m''accuses, hein?_he snarled. |
26678 | *****"Monsieur has never met Monsieur de Savignac?" |
26678 | Ah, you dear human children, are you conscious and grateful that I am lying out like a vagabond, a prisoner, that you may be alone? |
26678 | And did not the farmer Milon pay dearly enough for the applejack he distilled one dark night? |
26678 | And do you shoot also, may I ask?" |
26678 | And what do you think they did after the Commune? |
26678 | Are you a good shot, monsieur?" |
26678 | Are you certain, Emile?" |
26678 | Can you realize what he suffers now during days of exhausting rehearsals? |
26678 | Did n''t he tell me I was?" |
26678 | Did you not send me a dozen bottles this morning, Monsieur Tanrade? |
26678 | Do n''t you think so?" |
26678 | Do you happen to have seen it?" |
26678 | Do you know, monsieur, he has no longer even the right to shoot over the ground? |
26678 | Do you smoke?" |
26678 | Eh, mademoiselle? |
26678 | Erect, with the easy, quick step of a fisher girl? |
26678 | Fish oil?" |
26678 | From Paris, eh? |
26678 | Had I mistaken the day? |
26678 | Had he fallen in love hopelessly and past all reasoning? |
26678 | Had his stern brigadier refused to give him leave? |
26678 | Had the cares of his bank driven him to such a lonely hermitage as La Poche? |
26678 | Have they their papers of identity?" |
26678 | Have you missed your way?" |
26678 | He raised his fist and brought it down savagely on the table as he declared:"Would you believe it? |
26678 | I asked,"has she told you?" |
26678 | I called,"how did she get here?" |
26678 | I cried,"so it was that pig who poisoned him, eh? |
26678 | I inquired hotly--"was it Bonvin the butcher? |
26678 | Inside where?" |
26678 | Is it not at La Sapinière near Les Roses? |
26678 | Is it not sad?" |
26678 | Is it not so, my child?" |
26678 | Is it not so? |
26678 | Is it not so?" |
26678 | Is that plain?" |
26678 | Let me wire her to have breakfast ready for us?" |
26678 | May I ask you what business it is of yours?" |
26678 | Monsieur does not know?" |
26678 | Monsieur possibly remembers the little affair last year in the Rue des Mathurins? |
26678 | Monsieur sees that low roof beyond with the single chimney smoking-- just to the left of the château towers?" |
26678 | Not expensive, eh, when purchased with these?" |
26678 | On yourself?" |
26678 | One must be philosophic, eh?" |
26678 | One must invent novelties, eh? |
26678 | Only the good go wrong, is it not so? |
26678 | Or was it a clever ruse of four determined burglars? |
26678 | Oui_, monsieur,"she sighed, then suddenly mustering up her courage, she gasped:"_ Oh, mon général!_ Is it true, then, that Gaston must go to jail? |
26678 | Overslept, did you?" |
26678 | Presently she asked timidly,"One eats well there?" |
26678 | Shall I tell you who is coming to dine to- night, Green- eyes? |
26678 | She who had saved his life, who had loved him from babyhood-- she told herself-- and what had he done for her in return? |
26678 | So it is that?" |
26678 | Some man or woman whose very life and reputation depended upon it? |
26678 | Suzette adores him-- who does not in the lost village? |
26678 | Thank God--""How, then?" |
26678 | That the Baron''s son ran away with her and a hundred thousand francs? |
26678 | That the hundred thousand francs belonged to Le Bour? |
26678 | The devil I''m not? |
26678 | The next instant the gate of the court flew open, and I rushed out, to greet, to my surprise, Tanrade in his shooting- togs, and-- could it be true? |
26678 | Then I thought of Germaine!--that little minx, badly in debt-- perhaps? |
26678 | Then he stopped and inquired seriously--"What will you do without her?" |
26678 | To the Corean coast?" |
26678 | Was I to serve another night? |
26678 | Was he an Aladdin with a magic lamp, that could summon comfort in that desolation? |
26678 | Was he writing my death- warrant, I wondered nervously, or only a milder order for my arrest? |
26678 | Was it the moonlight? |
26678 | Was there ever a more charming grandmother? |
26678 | Was there ever such a marquise? |
26678 | Was there ever such an indefatigable sportsman? |
26678 | We have the contraband-- at least that is something, eh?" |
26678 | Were the intruders from the police? |
26678 | What had happened? |
26678 | What if he discovered them? |
26678 | What if he had"sold more than half of his vast estate in Brazil last year"? |
26678 | What if they outnumber us? |
26678 | What more can one ask? |
26678 | What right have_ you_ to carry a gun? |
26678 | What sort of discipline do you suppose I''d have if I did not share their hardships time and time again? |
26678 | What the devil was he doing here? |
26678 | What was he going to tell me now? |
26678 | What would my house abandoned by the marsh have been without her cheeriness, and her devotion, I thought, and what would it be when she was gone? |
26678 | What young son?" |
26678 | What, after all, if the smugglers failed us? |
26678 | Where are your traps? |
26678 | Where is your hunting permit?" |
26678 | Where''s Suzette? |
26678 | Where''s Suzette? |
26678 | Where''s the coffee? |
26678 | Where''s the patronne?" |
26678 | Where? |
26678 | Who would not change anything for so exquisite and dear a friend as Alice? |
26678 | Whose bed?" |
26678 | Why did you not head off those devils with the lantern?" |
26678 | Will you accept, dear sir, the assurance of my sentiments the most distinguished?" |
26678 | Would Suzette, in her anxiety over my absence, remember to give her the saucer of warm milk? |
26678 | You are a Protestant, is it not so?" |
26678 | You have not zee hunting breakfast? |
26678 | You who came to greet me to- night out of your suffering?" |
26678 | You will listen, my friend, will you not, until I am quite through, for I shall not mention it again?" |
26678 | _ Allons!_ forty sous, forty- one-- two?" |
26678 | _ Eh ben!_ And would you believe it?" |
26678 | _ Eh ben!_ What do you think of these?" |
26678 | _ Eh, ben!_ To- morrow night shall see most of the sketches hung and the rugs beaten-- that is again something, eh? |
26678 | _ Hein?_"He laughed, lapsing into his broken English. |
26678 | _ Les femmes!_ But in zee fields zey can not follow us? |
26678 | _ Me?_ What have I got to do with it, I''d like to know?" |
26678 | _ Me?_ What have I got to do with it, I''d like to know?" |
26678 | _ Parbleu!_ Where then? |
26678 | _ Sacristi!_ I thought, what if the gasoline gave out or the spark refused to sparkle, what if they had----Why worry? |
26678 | _ Sapristi!_ I had forgotten him-- and you wish to marry him, Suzette?" |
26678 | _ Sapristi!_ You did not know_ that_?" |
26678 | _ Sapristi!_ You do not know?" |
26678 | _ Voilà!_ It will be something for monsieur''s friends to admire, eh?" |
26678 | a partridge--_que voulez- vous, mon cher?_"he concluded, with a shrug. |
26678 | and he has a dog to give away, has he?" |
26678 | and it is true?" |
26678 | he exclaimed,"how much there is to do and how little time to do it in? |
26678 | page 272: typo corrected business out at the county- seat? |
26678 | returned Julie, closing her red fists upon the table,"that all you have to do is to ask for it? |
26678 | what?" |
26678 | where else in all Paris is there such Chablis? |
26678 | you''re not going?" |

7961 | And Molière? 7961 And do those gentlemen complain and put upon us the death of their horses? |
7961 | And the blonde one-- what do you think of her,_ hein_? |
7961 | And the blonde-- the handsome man at the creamery, he is the future--? |
7961 | And the change-- why has it come? |
7961 | And the widow,_ La Veuve_, shall she be dry or sweet? |
7961 | And what do you call his first period, dear mademoiselle? |

7961 | But these people, who are they, and how did you--? |
7961 | Could n''t have chosen better if we''d tried, could we? 7961 Dear Madame Le Mois-- and it goes well with you? |

7961 | Do you think these ladies want to spend the night on the_ grève_? 7961 Economical?" |

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 | 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 | 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? |
