Strangers in Paris 15: Strangers stared out by those like themselves: The woman from Carpentras －It's odd...Parisian women are not as elegant as people say!... The woman from Quimper-Corentin －It's extraordinary... the women of the capital are not as daintily turned out as reputation has it!..

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 8: THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL FRIEND: Ah! dear friend; how stout you've become... let me embrace you! let me embrace you! (the instant after, it was nothing but a mistake and the gentleman discovers that his extempore friend wished to make the acquaintance of... his watch!)

NEWS 45: ABDUCTION OF A GIRL-SPIRIT OF THE AIR. － Come, come, Mr. Godard, I'm frozen, let me into the gondola... － That's impossible, since we'll be seen by Paris... － But I've got a frightful head-cold!... － All I can promise is to wipe your nose, as soon as we get into a cloud!..

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)

Caricatures of the Day: The bourgeois at the Salon: Let's see... What's that?... (reading from his catalogue) "No. 387. Portrait of Mr. B*** stock-broker"... well... well!... oh! how stupid I am... 386 is the portrait of Mr. B***, this is a portrait of a bull by Mr. Bracassat... I'd also say... that the idea of having yourself painted with horns as big as that... after that, you can't refuse a stock-broker anything

Strangers in Paris 1: The arrival: What, no room!... －Not even for your hat-box... －What about in the sitting-room? －Twenty one Englishmen are in there... －In the attic?... －I've put eleven Savoyards in there... －In the celler?... －Fifteen Polish people have set up home... －Oh! hang it...oh! damnation... oh! Good God!...are we going to spend the night by the side of a milestone?... －That's what you'd better do, because then the night patrol will get you out of trouble quickly by taking you to sleep at the Prefecture of Police's office, Saint Martin cell!... specially reserved for the homeless and poodles without papers!..

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

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 17: THE WORKER FOR A LABOUR EXCHANGE: Employed at fifteen sous a day, as a secret bill-poster, what a fate! They're asking for a replacement, by Jove, as are my hat and my clothes, and above all my last night's supper's asking for a replacement!

The Representatives Represented 17: L. Ant. Garnier-Pagès: Ex-member of the provisional Government, ex-Mayor of Paris, ex-Minister of Finance; Garnier-Pagès has the habit of putting his hands in his pockets, which is a great proof of honesty, above all at a time when so many citizens like to dig their hands into their neighbours' pockets. --- We note besides that Garnier-Pagès is loved by all who know him, despite the fact that he has a slight wart on his forehead
