35. * Bon-temps pas bosco. (Le bon temps n’est pas bossu.)

“Good fortune is never hunch-backed.” (Same proverb in Martinique

dialect, and in that of Louisiana.)[16]--[_Trinidad._]

[16] In Creole _bon temps_ most generally signifies “idleness,” and is

not always used in a pleasant sense. Prov. 35 is susceptible of

several different applications.
