There was no water, no means whatever of extinguishing the flames, but the active little Frenchmen did not lose a minute.

It is a strange experience and leaves one hoping that somebodysome German shut away in the south of France, one of those quick-eyed Frenchmen in the human zoo at Zossenis keeping a diary.

There were many discussions, both public and private, before the plenipotentiaires were named, and a great unwillingness on the part of many very intelligent and patriotic Frenchmen to see the country launching itself upon dangerous ground and a possible conflict with Bismarck.

O pernicious Frenchman!

Before anything, I had better let those suspicious Frenchmen get right away.
