"There is a pleasant time in store for you, /Madame la Marquise/," said M. d'Aiglemont, setting his coffee cup down upon the table. He looked at the guest, Mme. de Wimphen, and half-pettishly, half- mischievously added, "I am starting off for several days' sport with the Master of the Hounds.

Unless I am prepared to be branded as a poltroon. Every professional soldier is supposed to welcome war. Most of us do: it's our opportunity. There's some excuse for us.英文原著 · 《All Roads Lead to Calvary》
Air in a closed cage must be mischievous, and what are ill-ventilated rooms but vicious air cages, in which mischiefs of all sorts breed? America professes to believe in publicity, and what is "publicity" but the open window and the open door?
