[6] ALLEZ REPONDRE VOS IMPERTINENCES AILLEURS. This is not a modern form. The meaning is, 'Keep your irrelevant remarks for people of your own class.' _Impertinences_ has here the meaning of 'irrelevant remarks.' [7] CE N'EST PAS A VOUS A JUGER. An infinitive after _c'est a_ (_moi_, _vous_, _lui_, etc.) may be introduced by either the preposition _a_ or _de_, but a difference is felt to-day between the two locutions, the first signifying 'it is your turn,' and the second, 'it is your right or duty.' [8] UNE ORIGINALE, 'eccentric.' "Il n'y a qu'en France que le mot _original_ applique a un individu, soit presque injurieux."-- Theophile Gautier, _les Grotesques_. [9] CELA EST ENCORE TOUT NEUF, 'That is another strange idea.' Bear in mind that Silvia had already expressed a distaste for marriage. [10] AIMABLE, 'Fitted to inspire love,' 'worthy of love.' [11] DE MARIAGE ... D'UNION. A peculiar use of the preposition _de_, allied to, and possibly derived from, the partitive after a negative: _Il n'y a pas de mariage_. It would be more natural today to say _un mariage ... une union_. The use of the form _de mariage_ is easily explained by the ellipsis of the concluding words, _que celui-ci_. [12] DELICIEUSE. Compare: "Il y a de bons mariages; mais il n'y en a point de delicieux" (La Rochefoucauld, _Reflexion_, 113). [13] DANS LES FORMES, 'Legally.' [14] DE QUOI VIVRE, 'Food.' [15] PARDI, 'Indeed.' An alteration of _par Dieu_. Though still used, _parbleu_, likewise a euphemism for _par Dieu_, has largely replaced it. It is not in the Dictionary of the Academy, 1878. [16] TOUT EN SERA BON. The _en_ refers apparently to the divers qualities of Dorante which Lisette has just enumerated, though it is difficult to see the connection clearly. [17] TOUT S'Y TROUVE. The modern form would be, _se trouve en lui_, the _y_ not being now used of persons. [18] HETEROCLITE. Used familiarly and figuratively for 'strange,' 'odd,' 'peculiar.' [19] UN PENSEE DE TRES BON SENS--_Pleine de sens_. VOLONTIERS, 'Frequently,' 'usually.' 'is usually inclined to be ...' [20] PASSE, 'We'll let that pass.' Used familiarly for _soit_. [21] OUI-DA, 'Truly,' 'certainly,' or, more freely and familiarly, 'I should think so.' _Da_ is, according to Diez, a shortened form of _diva_, an exclamation composed of the two imperatives _dis_ and _va_: _diva > dea > da_. It may be added to either the affirmative or the negative (_non-da_), or stand alone. In any case it adds force to the expression. Its use is becoming obsolete, especially in the negative. [22] DE BEAUTE. _Quant a la beaute_ would convey the idea, better to the modern ear. The construction is the genitive after _dispenser_. The pronominal _en_ is. therefore, redundant. [23] VERTUCHOUX, written usually _vertuchou_, 'Bless me,' A euphemism like _vertubleu_, which is similarly a corruption of _vertu (de) Dieu_.
