by Jove

by Jove
an exclamation that indicates the speakers surprise or wish to emphasize a point; bloody hell

Old Rouault on his way back began quietly smoking a pipe, which Homais in his innermost conscience thought not quite the thing. He also noticed that Monsieur Binet had not been present, and that Tuvache had "made off" after mass, and that Theodore, the notarys servant wore a blue coat, "as if one could not have got a black coat, since that is the custom, by Jove!" And to share his observations with others he went from group to group. They were deploring Emmas death, especially Lheureux, who had not failed to come to the funeral.
