PARLIAMENTARY IDYLLS 4: FLORA AND ZEPHYR (DE LA MEURTHE.): Lightly he balances himself / On a foot barely skimming the water's surface:/ Flora who admires him in silence / Says to herself. / Ah! God damn it all, how beautiful he is! (Translated from Anacreon by Ratapoil, retired police colonel, member of Châlons sur Marne society of literature and of the society of the Tenth-of-December in Paris)

Ancient History 14: Ulysses and Penelope. Chastely stretched on their bashful marriage-bed; / This noble married couple find themselves at last. / And when Ulysees snores, from his charming mouth / Penelope steals a loving kiss (Trifling work by Mr. Vatout)

PRACTICES OF THE MERCHANTS OF PARIS 6: She does make a fuss, that stuck up woman from the fifth floor, Wearing a hat! and two cups of milk for a sou! Damnation! Ma Capitaine, it's because we've got visitors this morning

PHYSIOGNOMY OF THE ASSEMBLY 18: Below the upper vignette: －You see, how well little Estancelin speaks for his age, and in front of everybody, and without crying... unlike you Anatole, he's a great satisfaction to his parents! ; Below the lower vignette: The meeting is suspended

THE BACHELOR'S DAY 10: 5 O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON: Mr Coquelet you're an unsociable being, d'you understand with your dog; that's twice when I've had 149, he jumps on the table and jumbles it all up. Your dog's and accomplice!... and you're an old cheat

Ancient History 33: Arion's rescue

EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT 69 : －Yes... I've had the indignity of having my picture refused for the exhibition... and moreover, see how scrupulously I've executed my saint's crucifixion... it can't be said that there's a nail missing from it!..

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 22: THE CLOTHES SELLER: “Closes to sell!... any hats, shoes, old clothes to sell!” This trade fourishes at carnival time in the vicinity of the schools of law and medicine: the student willingly sells his wardrobe to get himself a stevedore's costume, a wife, a small thimble-full of champagne and limitless tittle-tattle!

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

Ancient History 6: Penelope's nights. Of her absent husband the adorable profile, / Always shines like a star to her gentle eyes / But to drag on for three years, and her trick and her web / ...She must have had an intrepid thread (Odessy Ch[apter] II. Indiscreet translation by Mr. Villemain)

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 27: COUNTRY ACTORS: －Yes,my dear fellow,yes the barbarians hissed at me in Cinna;and what's more you've seen me in Cinna! －Yes, I flatter myself that I've seen you, but don't you see that the provincials are hard up; open at the Français, go and find Mr.J.J.,get yourself looked after, ask for one hundred thousand francs per year and they'll applaud you...but you want success with 1500F[rancs] salaries and at Beauvais...greenhorn!

JOURNEY TO CHINA 19: CHINESE WORRIORS. All Chinese men have the right, from six to eight times a year, to carry a rifle, a cartridge-pouch, and even to wear a fur cap; then they apply themselves, more or less voluntarily to night patrols which have as their goal the maintenance of public peace. Only it happens quite often that the chief named KA-PO-RAL takes infinite trouble to prevent his warriors singing at the tops of their voices “mother GO-DI-CHON” or other Chinese ballads, and it is by waking with a start that the good citizens learn that their rest is being watched over

Caricaturana 92: Sir, I despise the charlatanism of the poster, I despise the Puffs of the advertisement, I abhor everything which smells of the charalatan, the tumbler, the rope-dancer, and I limit myself to producing with all naivete and foolishness my merchandise. Read my catalogue! Scent of love, esteem and friendship, in phials from the Middle-Ages... Extract of the smile of infancy －Perfume of Adolphe's first steps－ Water of the peoples' alliance, for the handkerchief, with Beranger's song. Perfume of General Foy, a scent to strengthen the brain's fibre and to remind the French of their liberties and rights guaranteed by the constitutional charter. Surrounded by an oration given upon the tomb of the immortal deputy by one of his honourable colleagues. You see, it's impossible to be more simple

PASTORALS 34: -－Will you shut up with your Cock-a doodle-doos...there's no point in coming to the country to sleep peacefully, －I'm woken everyday at three o'clock in the morning... I slept better in Paris, even when my wife was alive!..

MONOMANIACS 2: THE EMBROIDERER: An example of the error that nature sometimes commits in labelling the sexes. Thus, in the same way that you see so-called women who sport trousers, a kind of moustache, play the cornet, the double-bass, or who compose humanitarian novels; so you see so-called men who pluck the harp, hem ties, embroider at the frame with their men's hands, and if need be, do a little cooking

JOURNEY TO CHINA 7: CHINESE MARRIAGE. The angler's skill in setting his lines, the hunter's artfulness in taking game, the horse-dealer's tricks to hide the redhibitory defects of his horse, nothing is comparable to the skill, the artfulness, the trick which a mother deploys in order to marry her daughter... the poor Chinese men mistrust the lures, of honey and of glue, to no avail, someone always falls into the maternal snare

ROBERT MACAIRE. 2nd Series 16: Sirs, crushed under the weight of misfortune, ruined, laid bare, I lost my head, I abandoned all that was dear to me, my motherrrland, my creditors, the whole paraphernalia... here am I on foreign soil... sheltered from my persecutors, but ready for the greatest sacrifices to preserve intact the name of Macaire. In consequence, I offer you 2 per cent payable in ten years;... by refusing, you can only lose hopes of the above-mentioned 2 per cent and the estmation of your servant / Macaire
