SKETCHES BY DAUMIER 3: －Your client is a scoundrel who's murdered six women, and you're counting on extenuating circumstances. －Why of course!... the jury is composed entirely of married men

SKETCH OF THE DAY 28: You know the fat deputy from opposite, who's a representative at 25 francs a day, well, this morning I read off the newspaper that they'd given him a commission! －A commission pays generally seventy five centimes without even a written decision... on that day he should've made 25 francs 15 sous, what luck!

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)

ROBERT MACAIRE. 2nd Series 3: Yes, Sir, you see in me a victim of political hatreds... an outcast... I have been condemned Falsely and I have had to go into exile... I'm clearing off to Belgium in order to reach Spain where I count on taking up arms... (aside) if I can't take anything else

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

ROBERT MACAIRE. 2nd Series 2: －Yes, Madam, I am completely devoted to our August Prince, and by means of a few miserable hundreds of thousands of francs will undertake to re-establish him on the throne. －What are your means? －My means! I am full of means! I have friends, newspapers, and if the entire Macaire family declares itself for him, never could a Prince raise a more innumerable army!..

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!..

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

TODAY'S PHILANTHROPISTS 12: －So then, my friend, at the age of twenty two you had already killed three men... what a powerful nature, and how guilty society is for not having better guided it!... －Oh! yeah sir!... in my view the police have been very wrong... without them I wouldn't be here!..

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

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
