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.

26678Overslept, did you?"
26678Presently she asked timidly,"One eats well there?"
26678Shall I tell you who is coming to dine to- night, Green- eyes?

26678Then I thought of Germaine!--that little minx, badly in debt-- perhaps?
26678Then he stopped and inquired seriously--"What will you do without her?"
26678To the Corean coast?"
26678Was I to serve another night?
26678Was he an Aladdin with a magic lamp, that could summon comfort in that desolation?

26678Whose bed?"
26678Why did you not head off those devils with the lantern?"

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_ 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_?"

7961It''s fine,_ hein_, and beautiful,_ hein?_ It is the Duke''s!
7961It''s the curé dusting the altar-- shall I go in?

7961The village?
7961Then, if you have ceased to believe in love, why did you go so religiously to Monsieur Caro''s lectures?
7961Was she so handsome then as they say she was-- at that time?
7961We came over by boat-- from Havre,we murmured meekly; then,"Is there a cake- shop near?"
7961We''ll go this afternoon-- Have you been to Honfleur? 7961 Well, and who asked you to talk?"

7961_ Ah, ma bonne_, how came that? 7961 _ Ah, mesdames-- que voulez- vous?_"was the old priest''s broken chant; he was bewailing the woes that had come to his order, to religion, to France.
7961_ Allons, mes filles-- doucement, là- bas-- et vos lits? 7961 _ Bonjour, mère--_""_ Bonjour, ma fille_--it goes well?"
7961_ Bonjour, mère_, how goes it?
7961_ C''est joli à voir_--it''s a pretty sight,_ hein_, my ladies? 7961 _ C''est très femme, çà-- hein, mademoiselle?_"And the cobbler cocked his head in critical pose, with a philosopher''s smile.
7961_ Ces dames_ wished rooms, they desired lodgings and board--_ces dames_ were alone?
7961_ Could_ you go this afternoon? 7961 _ E''ben, toi_--and thou wishest to proclaim to the world what a gymnast thou art-- swinging on thy perch?
7961_ E''ben-- et toi_--what do you want?
7961_ Est- il assez ridicule, lui?_ with his cap over his nose, and his knees knocking at everyone''s door? 7961 _ Est- il assez ridicule, lui?_ with his cap over his nose, and his knees knocking at everyone''s door?
7961_ Pas mal-- e''vous, M''sieur Renard?_"All right-- and the mortgage, how goes that?
7961_ Pas mal-- e''vous, M''sieur Renard?_"All right-- and the mortgage, how goes that?
7961_ Que voulez- vous, mesdames?_ Who could have told that the wind would play us such a trick?
7961_ Que voulez- vous, mesdames?_ Who could have told that the wind would play us such a trick?
7961_ Vous permettez?_asked the baroness, leaning over coquettishly to Monsieur d''Agreste''s cigar.
7961_ Were_ you there this morning?
7961Again I ask, why did he not disfigure this fair scene, and put out something of the beauty of the day?
7961Ah, madame, you are off already?
7961And Monsieur Paul?"
7961And by what magic also does a French village or city, even at its least animated period, convey to one the fact of its nationality?
7961And if of a hobby you can make a principle--""A principle?"
7961And madame herself was only mortal, for what woman lives but feels herself uplifted by the sense of having found favor in the eyes of her priest?
7961And now,"waving his hand toward us,"what do you propose to do with these ladies while you are painting?"
7961And the good citizen answers-- he has gone with the mayor to prop him up--''Which half will you take?
7961And the gout and the rheumatism, they have ceased to torment you?
7961And the picture, where is it?"
7961And the pilgrim, abashed, ashamed, would quickly make answer, if he were born of the right parents:"_ Chère_ madame, how was I to believe my eyes?
7961And tired, too,_ hein_, with the long walk?
7961And why?
7961And you, monsieur, you too leave us?
7961And you-- you''ve lost your tongue, it seems?"
7961As reminders of this old life, what is left?
7961Between the two, sea and river meet; is the river really trying to lose itself in the sea, or is it hopelessly attempting to swallow the sea?
7961But Monsieur d''Alençon, what did you think of him,_ hein_?
7961But here we are, at the top; it''s a fine outlook, is it not?"
7961But it is only a little danger, and danger makes the charm of travel, is it not so, my ladies?
7961But what can quench the fountain of French vivacity?
7961But what will you have?
7961But when are such things investigated?
7961Curse thy withered legs, and is it thus thou stumbleth?
7961Did you know she had had un_ nini_ this morning?
7961Did you see Jésu and the Magdalen?
7961Dieu-- why could n''t the republic have continued those glories--_ces gloires?
7961Do sane, reasonable mortals travel three thousand miles to read ancient history done up in modern binding, served up a la Murray, a la Baedeker?"
7961Do you really wish to rent the house?"
7961Do you remember how alarmed she would become when listening to music?"
7961Germain?"
7961Have you your little victoria and Poulette?"
7961He pleads for Filon, the culprit, to- night, does he not?"
7961He was desolated, but his inn was already full; it was crowded to repletion with people; surely these ladies knew it was the week of the races?
7961He went on in a quieter key:"But why am I always preaching and talking about death and eternity to two such ladies-- two such children?
7961He, the horse, the omnibus, and we, all waited for, what do you suppose?
7961Henri, did you bring any ice?"
7961Henri, just help the ladies, will you?"
7961Horace had need of rose- leaves to embalm his disappointments, for had he not cooled his passions by plunging into the bath of literature?
7961How can she be made to sit, a stiffened image of clay, after this life of freedom, this athletic struggle out here-- with these winds and tides?"
7961How could one eat seriously, with vulgar, gluttonous hunger, of a feast spread on the parapet of a terrace- wall?
7961How could we hope to make a Frenchman comprehend an instinctive impulse to turn our backs on the Trouville world?
7961How could you keep_ ces dames_ waiting like this?
7961How does it come about, that he is converted?
7961How goes it?
7961How goes the picture?
7961How is this?
7961How many I use?
7961How old, for instance, should you think that girl was, over there?"
7961I hear she has been fortunate in her choice of directors, has she not?
7961If the children did n''t walk, how could the procession be so fine?"
7961Is it Greek, is it Christian, this festival?
7961Is it because the French peasant seems now to be an inseparable adjunct of the Frenchman''s landscape?
7961Is it set up yet?
7961Is it that we have such a respect for French thrift, that a real forest seems a waste of timber?
7961Is it the mission of all flowing water to create an unrest in men''s minds?
7961It is a meekness, however, which does not hint of humiliation; for, after all, what humiliation can there be in being thoroughly understood?
7961It is idyllically lovely, is it not-- under such a sun?"
7961It was surely a stage set for a real comedy; some of these high- coiffed ladies, who knows?
7961It was to remind monsieur le president that the_ concierge_ was in a temper; would it not be better for him, the_ huissier_, to close the windows?
7961It''s a fair deal, is n''t it?
7961Last year I did the Jumièges sculptures; they fit in well, do they not?"
7961Loisette is waiting;_ la pauvre enfant_--perhaps suffering too-- how do I know?
7961Not quite so stiff,_ hein_--in such a bath of sunlight as this?
7961Now, however, he broke forth:"Shall we enter, my ladies?"
7961One must go as far as Paris-- to the theatre; one must hear a great play-- and even there, when does an actor make you weep as he did?
7961One of your models?"
7961Perhaps_ ces dames_, being strangers, did not know that Trouville was now beginning its real season-- its season of baths?
7961Pray pardon the impertinence of a personal question-- but we hear that American young ladies read Zola; is it true?"
7961Really, were you?"
7961Shall I conduct you to your rooms?"
7961She responded, with perfect good humor:"Why not?--why not try to discover beauties in nature?
7961So you are_ deux affreuses hérétiques_?
7961That even deformity has been so handled by the realists as to make us see beauty in ugliness?
7961That long scroll of tapestry, for truth and a naive perfection of sincerity-- where will you find it equalled or even approached?
7961The dove''s voice was trolling its sweetness, as she went on--"Eggs, monsieur?
7961The driver turned to look in at the window-- and to nod as he turned-- he felt so certain of our sympathy; had he not made sure of them at last?
7961The innkeeper was only a man; and since Adam, when has any member of that sex been known to say"No"to a pretty woman?
7961The mère''s insult was drowned in a storm of voices?
7961The priests?
7961The spectacle went to his heart; these gentlemen were again in a draught?
7961Their neighbors stopped to cry up to them:"_ Tendez vous, aujourd''hui?_"It is the universal question, heard everywhere.
7961There should be a trifle more shadow under the chin, what do you think?"
7961They also were looking at the moonlight, and one of them was singing to it:"_ Te souviens- tu, Marie, De notre enfance aux champs?_"_ Te souviens- tu?
7961They also were looking at the moonlight, and one of them was singing to it:"_ Te souviens- tu, Marie, De notre enfance aux champs?_"_ Te souviens- tu?
7961Think you, with such a task on hand, this city- ful of artists had time for frivolous idling?
7961This spring in the air was all very well, but how would it affect the sauces?
7961Was it even conceivable a father of a young family would lead an innocent lad into error, fraud, and theft?
7961Was it her fault if_ ces dames_ knew what comfort and cleanliness were?
7961Was the priest''s summary the last word of truth about modern France?
7961We had come far?
7961We were as wet as ducks, but what cared we?
7961Well, and how about obedience to our parents,_ hein_--how about that?"
7961Well, how are you?
7961Well, think you the subscription was for restorations,_ mesdames_?
7961Well,_ hein_, also?
7961Were the maids-- were Marianne or Lizette neglecting their work to flirt with the coachmen in the sheds yonder?
7961What a day,_ hein_?
7961What are juries for if they do n''t kill such rascals as he?"
7961What can I do with them?
7961What did the provinces want with Paris?
7961What do I hear?"
7961What do they teach you, anyway?
7961What do you think of old Dives and Monsieur Paul, and the rest of it?
7961What is his reputation worth, as a shrewd, sharp man of business, if a little thing like cheating stops him?
7961What is it to be a Protestant?
7961What is that?
7961What of_ his_''Misanthrope?''
7961What possible difference could it make to us whether we were landed at Trouville or at Villerville?
7961What shall I wear?"
7961What was it this world of sight- seers came up to the Mont for to see?
7961What was this order, this command the quick Percheron hearing had overheard?
7961What, pray, had we just now to do with fashion-- with the purring accents of boudoirs, with all the life we had run away from?
7961What?
7961What?
7961When at Rome was he not always sighing for his Sabine farm, and when at the farm always regretting Rome?
7961When one has an instep of ideal elevation, what is the use of being born a Frenchwoman, unless one knows how to make use of opportunity?
7961Where do you breakfast?"
7961Where was the_ concierge_?
7961Who and what was this neighbor, that he should have so curious and eccentric a taste in clothes?
7961Who cares whether Honfleur has been done to death by the tourist horde or not?
7961Who could stand by and see good candles blowing uselessly in the wind, and one''s money going along with the dripping?
7961Who does not know and love a French window, the higher up in the world of air the better?
7961Who really enjoys being left behind, to mope in a corner of the world others have abandoned?
7961Who would have looked to see a company of Norman provincials talking morality, and handling ethics with the skill of rhetoricians?
7961Why can not we all attain to an innkeeper''s altitude, as a point of view from which to look out upon the world?
7961Why does a man''s presence always seem to communicate such surprising animation to a woman-- to any woman?
7961Why is it that a forest is always a surprise in France?
7961Why is it that one is made to feel the companionable element, by instantaneous process, as it were, in a Frenchman and in his towns?
7961Why not emulate his calm, when people who have done with us turn their backs and stalk away?
7961Why not push on to Coutances, where the Fête was still celebrated with a mediaeval splendor?
7961Why not, like him, count the pennies as not all the payment received when a pleasure has come which can not be footed up in the bill?
7961Why should not a peasant, in blouse and sabots, with a grinning idiot face, have put the picture out?
7961Will you come?"
7961Will you have a less stormy and belligerent company to people the hill?
7961Will you have a''Marie Louise,''mademoiselle?"
7961Will you join me-- over there?"
7961Will you not rest a while after your long walk?"
7961With a charming outburst of enthusiasm she exclaimed aloud:"What a beauty, and youth, and tenderness this spring has, has it not?"
7961Would we wait for another cup?
7961Would you call it a town-- this one straggling street that begins in a King''s gateway and ends-- ah, that is the point, just where does it end?
7961Would_ ces dames_ give themselves the trouble of entering?
7961You are not Catholics?
7961You forgot?"
7961You hoped for a landau, and feathers and cushions, perhaps?
7961You remember what one of her commands was, do n''t you?"
7961You took the trouble to drive along the coast this fine day?
7961You were in luck-- in luck; why was n''t I there?"
7961You were with her a great deal, were you not, after his death?"
7961_ En voilà une_--did you remark the pretty one, with the book, seated, all in white?
7961_ Mais, que voulez- vous?
7961_ Tiens_--who was he talking to now?
7961and been painted until one''s art- stomach turns?
7961are there deep holes?"
7961c''est gai par ici, n''est- ce pas?_ One has the sun all to one''s self, and air!
7961if they preferred"_ des chambres garnies avec goût, vraiment artistiques_"--to rooms fit only for peasants?
7961mesdames, you did n''t expect this,_ hein_?
7961pay two_ sous octroi_ on a bottle of one''s own wine, that one had had in one''s cellar for half a lifetime?
7961qui les fait-- les bons saints du paradis, peut- être?_"And Marianne and Lizette would slink away to the waiting beds.
7961these gentlemen proposed to walk, in the sun, through clouds of dust, when here was a carriage, with ladies for companions, at their command?
7961with the bad season, the rains, the banks failing, the-- but you, madame, are well?
7961would they permit their trunks to be sent for?
7961would they see the house or the garden first?
7961you are Protestant?
