Angling 5: Woe to the Angler with rod and line who finds himself in the way of a steam boat!

PARISIAN MEN IN 1852. 9: NEW YEAR'S DAY. The door-keeper. － Sir, I wish you a good and happy one. The proprieter. － Very good, thank you! The door-keeper. － Good and happy for the man who wrings your neck, you miserable old skinflint!..

MONOMANIACS 5: THE REGULATOR: The word regulator normally applying to a type of machine, may wall also be applied to the individual above. One finds in Paris, said to be the most spiritual town in the most spiritual country in the Universe, several dozen particular men whose sole intellectual occupation is to regulate, each day, their watch on the shot of midday from the canon of the Royal Palace. Here, gunpowder makes those happy who will never set the world on fire

THE ALARMISTS AND ALARMED. 5: －Eh! so what’s new?... －Sir, whiting has become even dearer since yesterday!... －I always said that we were going to have a famine..

TRIVIAL THINGS 5: Oh,what the devvvvvil!... lady we'd such a good time they was eighteen on us, they was no men nor women, we was all from the Auvergne what the devvvvvvvvil!!!!!..

Bathers 10: Hurry up, ugly wretch; have you seen that poodle there, he should have been a sailor, he's made boats for himself with walnut shells, and you're afraid of the four sous pool

MONOMANIACS 7: THE HYPOCHONDRIAC: This class of citizens is the providence of medicine, the blessing of pharmacy, it is the Nymph Egeria who has inspired white mustard, Paraguay-Roux, the Regnault pâte, the Clyso-bolus and generally all the inventions destined to comfort non-suffering humanity. The hypochondriac gives himself by turns pleurisy, consumption Etc. Etc. He varies his illness in order to vary his pleasures and each day he exclaims, on feeling his pulse, “I truly must have an iron constitution to be able to resist all these illnesses.”

THE ALARMISTS AND ALARMED. 1: －Oh my god! they 've set fire to the neighbour's house!... don't look, Théodore, it'll hurt you too much!... －Why no... it's he who 's just lit up his window with three Chinese lanterns!..

MONOMANIACS 1: THE BEASTOPHILE: The supreme happiness of the Beastophile is to make in his home a small menagerie in the bosom of which he spends his life. One can truly apply to him the proverb: “Tell me whom you associate with, [and] I’ll tell you who you are.”

THE TEMPTATION OF THE NEW St. ANTHONY: In that particular time, a great and fat sinner named Véron felt himself touched by grace: having reflected that the Press was a priesthood, he became a hermit and retired to a wild place in the midst of the steepest mountains of Montmartre. There, he spent his days and nights in prayer, and as a means of mortification, imposed upon himself as a penitence the continual re-reading of the list of subscribers to the Constitutionnel. －For his only food, Véron took at long intervals a light fragment of Regnauld pâté. －The Devil, irritated by this edifying yet unexpected conversion employed different strategies to make St. Véron succumb to his temptations, but our noble coenobite knew how to resist those things which until recently had held so many charms for him: Satan, who had taken the form of the Constitutionnel in order come in person to tempt St. Véron, returned to the road for Paris, furious. －The anchorite of Montmartre has, since this time, been placed in the rank of the greatest saints which Parisian journalism honours, and is especially supplicated by the unfortunates who have a head cold

THE BACHELOR'S DAY 5: 11 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING: Mr. Coquelet wishing to offer a bouquet of violets to Miss Palissandre, reproaches himself for his prodigality; and washing his handkerchief with his own hands, clears his conscience by means of this economy

SKETCHES OF THE HUNT 5: －Well!... Are we going to continue our hunting, despite the vile weathe?... －No! absolutely not..., it's raining... the game fear the rain as much as we do..., they can't fail to come and shelter in this cottage, and we're going to bag lots of them!..

PROFILES 5: THE PORTER ON HIS ROUNDS ON NEW YEAR'S DAY: Nothing but 115 francs for my wishes, and I've already done eight floors!!! Dunces of Tenants! Another time I'll give them wishes... wouldn't they like to get it!

The Representatives Represented / The Legislative Assembly 17: Félix Saint-Priest: Proof with letters. － de St. Priest is no less celebrated for his postal reforms than for his playful character. Since [the sending of] letters has been four sous, de St. Priest has not much to do; but, to keep himself busy, he has tried for some time to alter his blue spectacles; at least, that's what I conclude from the way he wears them!

JOURNEY TO CHINA 10: CHINESE PROBITY. The unfortunate man who commits a little failing and gives 80 per cent to his creditors is ruined, dishonoured, lost, and sees all his careers close before him... if he would like to be well thought of, well received in the world, there is only one way... that is to begin again upon a bigger scale and to give away nothing at all

TODAY'S PHILANTHROPISTS 5: －Madam... it is not enough only to have danced for the benefit of those poor Poles... let us be Philanthropists to the very end... let us take supper for their profit!..

PARISIANS TYPES 30: －My God! Missus Bombec, what hit you? －Don't mention it,dear lady, the horror! the world's become so ferocious that I'd rather be the gatekeeper at the zoo. You know that Bezuchet on the fifth floor who tells everyone that her not-so great daughter, whose filling out nicely round the waist, has become Whatdropical. Me, I just said: oh yeh! －And that's the creature that... －by Jove, flew into my face

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

(Left) The little village on the far mountainside was already out of sight, and spring was coming around again. The grape trees were like large ailing snakes creeping under the coping stones of the wall. A brown light moved about in the tepid air. The void created by the selfsame every day is likely to chop down even the young trees that were left behind. In this everyday life, a thicket of trees protrudes like a boulder. (Right) The village I lived in has never been thought of as so small. The sun showed itself. The tall poplar forest looks like a beach being blown about by the wind. I grow dizzy just watching that seamless succession. If I can manage to get drunk on this succession of unchanging days, I can also grow to feel like I have taken down an elephant or snake. He differentiated things in this way, like a fluttering butterfly

JOURNEY TO CHINA 5: CHINESE LAW. Chinese barristers strive so hard, striking so many oratorical poses that the magistrates, in order not to be distracted by the gestures of the defence and to lose nothing of his arguments, generally devote themselves to some manual work, one slices his desk with penknife cuts; the other draws crude little figures on stamped paper or fashions folded paper hens; others have recourse to a more efficient method, they close their eyes and fall into deep meditation from which the usher who shouts silence! with all his might is at great pains to extract them... it is for this reason that Chinese justice is represented with a bandage over its eyes

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
