[137] LA RUE DU FIGUIER. See note 126. [138] SAIS. _Savoir_ as used here means 'to know about the street,' 'to know that it exists,' 'to know where it may be found'; _connaitre_ would mean 'to be acquainted with it.' [139] RENDRA = _Remettra_. [140] RENDREZ. Some of the later editions print _rendez_. [141] QUE JE N'AIE VU, 'Until I have seen.' The negative particle _ne_ is required in a phrase introduced by _que_, when this conjunction stands in the place of _avant que_. [142] PRESOMPTIONS. 'Presumptions' or 'reasonable suppositions.' Compare: "Ce ne sont pas la des convictions entieres; mais ce sont les presomptions les plus fortes" (Voltaire, _Essai sur les moeurs et l'esprit des nations_, chap. 166). [143] DE VOTRE FACON, 'Of your choosing.' [144] TOUT. Later editions print _tout le monde_, which is evidently the sense in which this word is used. [145] ROGUE, 'Arrogant.' In the edition of 1758 the word is printed _roque_, which has led some editors into the error of correcting to _rauque_ (hoarse). [146] NOUS N'AVONS QUE FAIRE ENSEMBLE, 'We have no dealings together.' [147] NON QUE JE SACHE. _Non, pas que je sache_ is the more complete modern expression. [148] A CAUSE QUE. _Parce que_ is more modern. Littre favors the retention of _a cause que_, since it is used by good authors, and, in certain cases, is preferable to _parce que_. [149] AMPLIFIE, 'Exaggerates.' [150] HORS D'OEUVRE = _Hors de propos_. Generally used to-day as a substantive, but in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries often used adverbially as here. Compare: "Dans le _Cid_, toutes celles (the scenes) de l'infante sont detachees, et paraissent hors d'oeuvre" (Corneille, _Horace_, Examen). [151] ENFANCE. For the more modern word _enfantillage_, although the Dict. de l'Acad., 1878, retains the word in this sense. Compare: "Ils ne font que des enfances" (Mme. de Sevigne, Jan. 26, 1689). "On passait encore les enfances a Mme. la duchesse de Bourgogne par la grace qu'elle y mettait" (St. Simon. 294, 6). "Ce sont des betises ou des enfances dont il n'y a que de bonnes gens qui soient capables" (_Marianne_, 2e partie.) See _le Legs_, note 29. [152] TOUT A L'HEURE. In the sense of _tout de suite_ the expression is to-day obsolete, and is not admitted by the Dict. de l'Acad., 1878. See _le Legs_, note 76. [153] A CAUSE QUE. See note 147. [154] ENTEND. See _le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard_, note 247. [155] APPAREMMENT, 'Manifestly,' 'Of course.' In this sense the word has become obsolete, and is not admitted by the Dict. de l'Acad., 1878. [156] VOUS N'Y SONGEZ PAS. See _le Legs_, note 58, _le Legs_, note 102. [157] DELIVREE. The edition of 1758 prints _delivrees_, which will be accounted for by the speaker's including madame Argante in his mind. The singular is, however, preferable. [158] EUS. The edition of 1758 prints the past participle _eu_, without making it agree with the preceding object pronoun. See _le Legs_, note 56.
