26. qu'on ne te voie, lest any one should see you. Note that garder, se garder, prendre garde, and se donner de garde, meaniug to beware, require an affirmative verb in the infinitive, unless the object guarded agaiust should be a négation. Ex. : Prends garde de ne pas réussir = d'échouer ; but with que, they, like craindre, require the subjunctive mood preceded by ne, because they express a wish that the thing guarded against may not happen. Ex. : Mind the child does not fall = Prenez garde que l'enfant ne tombe, i.e. take care, so that the child may not fall.

29. je l'aurais fait faire . . . he could not answer my purpose better if I had had him made to order. Note the double conditional, whicli is more emphatic than the imperfect indicative foUowing if.
