When I went to give blessings, I loved to talk to the women and to hear their joys and their sorrows

TENANTS AND LANDLOADS 5: －Why, madam..., I am unwise enough to absent myself from my property for some months and this is the state in which I find you... I give you twenty four hours' notice to leave... I don't even know that I don't have the right to claim damages from your husband!..

PARISIANS TYPES 29: Discomfort in talking to people who have a mania for putting thier story into action. －Yes dear Sir, do you think that the rrrrascal was allowed to laugh in my face.

Caricaturana 93: Suffer the little children to come unto me!... Do you understand the parable, Bertrand? －you don't! blockhead! we'll form a paternal and philanthropic association, we receive 5/10ths now, in order to give 500 for 100 in the future... －And what shall we fix it to in the future －We'll up sticks.

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

JOURNEY TO CHINA 17: THE PENAL CODE. The Chinese legislators have decreed that all the accused will answer a summons freely in front of their judges, and so they are brought before the examining magistrate between two policemen and bound with handcuffs, which in fact leaves them no more liberty than to sneeze. Moreover justice is delivered with such promptness in the Celestial Empire that it is very rare for he who has been cautioned to remain more than eight months before attending his trial, finally the solemn day arrives when he sees himself sentenced to a fortnight in prison, and the capped mandarin has the goodness to explain to him that this fortnight is not to be confused with the eight months he has already spent behind bolted doors

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

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

PARLIAMENTARY IDYLLS 2: THE INDISCREET FAUNS: Come, Cholë come my sister; / amenable to my entreaties, / The virgin with the golden quiver has rid these glades./ Of fauns and Taschereaus./ Thus speaks Nisa. Laughing between the boughs / Two hidden Taschereaus turn upon those hips. /The ardour of their treacherous gaze. (Short-lived Poems by Count de Mantalembert.)
