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!..

Ancient History 22: The baptism of Achilles. Just as you temper a weapon of war, / Thetis, wanting to make of her brat a hero, / Steeped him in the Styx until he saw the light; / Which proves that baths are good for all purposes (On the Influence of baths, Poem by Mr. Vigier)

JOURNEY TO CHINA 16: THE MUSIC LESSON. The Chinese man of independent means likes to occupy his leisure by cultivating music: very willingly he takes lessons on the clarinet, the accordion or the hunting horn, and in spite of the contrary opinion of his unfortunate neighbours, persists in calling this an accomplishment!

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 7: THE PUFFER OF CUSTOMERS: About the word puff! (scans, lies in wait for, cheat's dictionary.) Under the appearance of a simple loafer this individual is dedicated to business in security [watch] chains, hall-marked gold gems; silver pencil-cases and other encumbrances of the public way, he scents the police constable; and when the security of [watch] chains is compromised he clears off wth the shop!

JOURNEY TO CHINA 9: A CHINESE DANCE.One is greatly mistaken if one believes the Chinese people to be giddy, joyful and the friend of pleasure: they are on the contrary serious and morose, since their greatest amusement consists in a type of lugubrious walking in which the men and women walk one in front of the other, or one beside the other, and seem to be saying among themselves: brother we should die! In order also to point to the philosophical intention behind this ceremony, the opposite of dancing, they call it: Counter-dancing

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
