ma chère mignonne, my darling little pet

3. En me rappelant cela, tantôt, When she reminded me of that to-day. {Tantôt has to be rendered according to sensé : if something going to take place is meant, ' by and bye ' is used ; when referring to something past, ' just now.' Hère it seems to indicate something having taken place on that day. Tout à l'heure, coming a little lower down, is much the same and used in the same way.)

7. j'avais déjà onze ans, I was already eleven. 29. à deux lieues de là, two leagues from there. (A league is as near as possible two and a half miles!)
