Scene III

22 Vous m'en donnez aussi : En donner, to tellstories,

to take in, to make fools of people. .

12 Que nomment nos guerriers poudre de sympathie :

It is said tkat a certain Chevalier Dighy brought to France this pretended remedy.

NOTES

He exposed his opinions before the Académie de Montpellier in a Discours dated 21st Dec., 1651. The inversion, que nomment nos guerriers, instead of que nos guerriers nomment , is incorrect.

Page 49 Une 22 — En moins d'un tourne-main on ne s'en souvient pas :

It is forgotten in no time ; the usual phrase is en moins d'un tour de main , i.e., in less than a trice, in a turn of a hand, in a winking of an eye.
