PEOPLE OF THE LAW 31: －We've got a great show today, Mr. Galuchet!... －By Jove, I think so... a murder embellished by rape!..

News 124: A day of the eclipse

MUSICAL SKETCHES 5: A gentleman managing to prove that he is able to sing and play the piano at the same time － which is a great discomfort

PEOPLE OF THE LAW 37: －It certainly seems that my jolly fellow is a great villian... so much the better... if I succeed in having him acquitted, what credit to me!..

LIFE'S HAPPY DAYS 20: A NATIONAL HOLIDAY EVENING: It never fails... you go out to see the fire[works], and revel in nothing but water!..

EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT 42: －I say, our mayor... communists what's that?... －Pierre, they're people who want money to be common, work common, land common among all French people... －Oh! well I think for a start they've got not common sense!..

Affectation 8: (He reads a letter) A meeting, it could be from that little Mrs. Giraud!... yes... but perhaps it's from her husband who wants to nab me and give me a thrashing

LIFE'S HAPPY DAYS 9: FULL DRESS DAY: I think like this I look a little... slightly Old Guard!..

MONOMANIACS 3: THE EXPERT: There are Experts and Experts, as there are Uncouth Peolple and Uncouth People. Firtly [there is] the Expert who knows (this is the rarest type); then the Expert who knows nothing, or knows stupid and useless things, that is to say, less than nothing. The Expert of these different categories passes for a profound, serious man; he is in a very good position, and makes a reputation in the world, like all who are hollow. He passes his days full of pleasures and free from failings, except that he is subject to the Cross of Honoour and the Academy

PARISIAN TYPES 44: Citizen grocer, warrior pure and without stain, Once a corporal, he wore a moustache; Dreamed of a future of large bullions And since that time, is the terror of urchins

PROFILES 7: THE FREQUENTER OF FÉLIX'S SHOP: Paris is at once the centre of civilisation, of the fine arts and of small pies; the love of the galette is pushed to fanaticism. Pastry cooks abound here, and today Paris is perhaps the city in the world where most brioches are made

MEMORIES OF THE PEACE CONGRESS 1: Victor Hugo, in a lecture of three points, demonstrates the futility of military glory, and proves by example that the crown of laurels could be replaced to advantage by a crown of roses! this gives him the advantage of making a novel effect of his forehead

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 24: THE KNIGHT OF THE GOLDEN SPUR: This so-called former Colonel of the Papal Guard, later aide-de-camp to the Prince of Monaco, awaiting as a prize for his services a distinguished post in the Government!... he would, however, willingly accept a tabacconist's shop or a position as an inspector of [street] sweeping; besides [this] he is a gallant man like all knights of his order, for a trifle demanding satisfaction from five-year-old children, perfectly making excuses from the moment you look at him in the face

MISADVENTURES AND DISAPPOINTMENT OF MR.GOGO 2: My son, you are wrong to risk your money in shares, the Stock Exchange is a den of swindlers, bitumen is a beastliness, the mines are precipices,... a wise man should enjoy his fortune quietly... －It's true, mother, I'm wrong, but I need some thousands of francs, and I've come to ask you... －My God!... I'd give it with pleasure... but ... frankly!... the card game ruined me this winter..

Strangers in Paris 16: The Daguerreotype portrait: －Here is the work of the sun..., how coloured it is, hm?... how warm... and all in three seconds! －Well, true...looking at that, you wouldn’t say that I’d been in the sun for only three seconds... you’d think I’d been in it for three years, because I look like a real negro... never mind, it’s a pretty portrait, and my wife will be well pleased!..

SKETCHES OF THE HUNT 7: －Well!... do you intend to stay there? －Certainly not!... I was waiting so that you could carry me to the village on your back... －No thanks, for a league and a half from here!... are you mad?... －Come!... look here, my friend... act as though you've killed a roe-deer and you've got to carry it home!..

Parisian Freebooters 12: The Crocodile: This has to do with a variety of species of Crocodile, which was known to the ancients under the name of Tantalus and which a Gymnasium naturalist of our time has called the Gastronome without money. This voracious whale-like creature is most commonly found in the localities of Merchants of Eatables. His teeth are pointed and very long from lack of exercise, since he uses only his eyes to devour. When he has had the perseverance to remain for a whole day static in front of his prey he sometimes ends up by having the luck to catch... a crick in the neck. He feeds himself only on desires and vain hopes, he is also remarkably thin. Very different from other fish of his species that swim in open water, this type of Crocodile is always in the dry
