Chut I Hush ! This onomatopoetic word is pronounced

very nearly like its English équivalent (very softly, sh I Cf. Latin st and English whist).

35. sans qu'il soit, without its being. Note that the English participial construction is replaced by the French subjunctive mood, whicli is used whenever the phrase is dépendent, i.e. cannot be entirely separated from the preceding verb without being affected thereby. Cf. ' Je suis sûr qu'il viendra ; je ne suis pas sûr qu'il vienne,' (See Fasnacht's Grammar, § 158 et seq. )
