49621Agnes, my dear Agnes, do you not know the original of the above picture? 49621 And did you take the oath?"
49621And is she dead?
49621Aye; who knows indeed?
49621But surely you are not now come back?
49621But surely,cried she, starting up, and running into the next room to Fanny,"I should write a few lines of congratulation to the bride?"
49621But what right have you to complain?
49621But will you not allow it to shelter for one moment the wretched and the penitent?
49621Can I? 49621 Do you not know me?"
49621Fanny,said Agnes,"you say nothing of your husband?"
49621I have seen you before, and very lately?
49621I once lived with you; have you forgotten little William? 49621 Is miss Fitzhenry grown_ rich_ again?"
49621Never, never,replied Agnes;--"yet who knows?"
49621True, child,resumed the mother;"and what did it end in?
49621What are the bells ringing for to- day?
49621What does this change mean, my dear lady?
49621What does this outrage mean, my lord?
49621What, tired so soon?
49621Who is that elegant, fashionable- looking man, my lord, in the lower box just opposite to us?
49621You think it ca n''t be cured, then?
49621--"And are you sorry to see me?"
49621--"And as to saving the child,"cried the wife,"am I not a mother myself, and can I help feeling for a mother?
49621--"Because Agnes Fitzhenry is a name which I have often heard toasted: she sings well, does she not?"
49621--"But what then?"
49621--"But you are not going so soon?
49621--"Do you hope none from mine?"
49621--"Then will you promise me, if I die, to be a mother to this child?"
49621--"What scheme?"
49621--"You know her then?"
49621Added to these reasons, Mr. Seymour was a very vain man, and never acted in any way without saying to himself,"What will the world say?"
49621But the means-- the means?"
49621But were not these soothing reveries sometimes disturbed by the pangs of ill- requited love?
49621Do I not owe all I have to you?
49621Happy would it have been for Agnes, had she adhered to this resolution; but vanity and self- confidence again interfered:--"What have I to fear?"
49621Miss Fitzhenry, do you not know me?"
49621To this what can the world say, but that you are a just judge?
49621What will difficulties and mortifications be to her?
49621What would the world say?"
49621When he did so, he was surprised at the agitation of her manner.--"What, I suppose you thought they were coming after you?"
49621and leave your own father, Edward?"
49621are you there?
49621asked his agitated parent.--"Look at me,--I am your father;--but I suppose, your mother, as well she might, taught you to hate me?"
49621asked the cottager.--"Hear whom?"
49621but----"--"But unhappy, I suppose?"
49621can I?"
49621continued he, taking Agnes by the arm, and leading her gently forward.--"And you loved her very tenderly, I suppose?"
49621could she, retracting her pretensions to penetration, believe she had put herself in the power of a designing libertine?
49621cried Agnes, her whole frame trembling with agitation.--"What could I do?"
49621cried Agnes, rising from her unfinished meal:"well married, I hope?"
49621cried Mr. Seymour:"Why thus exult over the fallen?"
49621cried the other;--"a favourite mistress, I suppose?"
49621do you see them?
49621exclaimed Agnes, withdrawing from his embrace;"can not the marriage take place to- morrow?"
49621exclaimed she,"can that affectionate father, who has till now anticipated my wishes, disappoint me in the wish nearest to my heart?"
49621have you then taken an oath never to be mine?"
49621he is--"--"Do you think he would forgive me?"
49621is this possible?"
49621pray what did you say, sir?"
49621replied one of the men;"and what then, child?
49621said the half- distracted Agnes;"you will not leave me to shame as well as misery?"
49621she exclaimed in a faltering voice;"and whose child is that?"
49621she is going to leave us again; what shall we do without her?"
49621then you do allow her to be fallen?"
49621who are you?"
49621wilt thou not pardon me if I seek a refuge from my suffering in the grave?"
49621would you forsake your child?"
49621you have worked too much:--Had you no_ friends_, my child?"
49621you will not leave me, will you?"

3733Why not?
3733Why not?
3733Why, no; what is it? 3733 Why?

3733Yes; why?
3733You did?
3733You have faith in me?
3733You have no dress suit? 3733 You?"
3733Your mamma? 3733 Your parents live near Rouen, do they not?"
3733A man''s angry voice cried:"What is the brat howling about?"
3733A voice broke the silence-- a voice which came from afar:"Are you ready, sirs?"
3733After a short silence, she asked:"Have you been in Paris a long time?"
3733After several moments of silence Duroy asked:"Will it be some time before you return to Paris?"
3733After the man had disappeared, Du Roy asked, hoping for another place of meeting than La Trinite:"Where shall I see you to- morrow?"
3733And did you, sir, enter this church from curiosity?"
3733And he asked:"How did you make Forestier''s acquaintance?"
3733And here I am; where shall we go?"
3733And how are you?"
3733And now that I have explained, shall we be friends?"
3733And turning to Madeleine she added:"Will you permit me to call him Bel- Ami?"
3733And who knows?
3733Are you displeased?"
3733Are you mad?"
3733As Georges remained silent, his wife, who divined his thoughts, asked in her soft voice:"Of what are you thinking?
3733As Saint- Potin entered, Duroy asked him:"Have you seen the paragraph in''La Plume''?"
3733As he took his leave, he asked again:"Are we friends-- is it settled?"
3733As they disappeared, Forestier laughed and said:"Tell, me, old man, did you know that you had a charm for the weaker sex?
3733Both the old man and his wife were struck dumb with astonishment; the latter recovered her self- possession first and asked:"Is it you, son?"
3733But how is it you have not found anything better than a clerkship at the station?"
3733But might one ask, what is M. de Marelle''s opinion?"
3733But what woman has never been loved thus?
3733But where is your trunk?"
3733Can I do anything for you?"
3733Can I go?"
3733Can you do that?"
3733Can you let me have your reply before Saturday?"
3733Can you not guess?"
3733Can you not on the occasion of our marriage change your name somewhat?"
3733Claire Madeleine du Roy, lawful wife of M. Prosper Georges du Roy, here present?"
3733Could we not modify it?"
3733Did he often see that nephew?"
3733Did you not tell me that your home was in the country?"
3733Do you know how the acceptance of it might be interpreted?
3733Do you know the house?"
3733Do you not want anything?"
3733Do you remember what you said to me in the church and how you forced me to enter this house?
3733Do you think I do not know about Suzanne?"
3733Do you think I do not know how you stole a portion of Vaudrec''s bequest from Madeleine?
3733Do you think that I am going to interview that Chinese and that Indian?
3733Do you think that I did not see that you could not exist for two days without him?"
3733Do you wish to kill me?"
3733Du Roy was surprised:"Who told you about that name?"
3733Du Roy''s hand, he turned to her husband and cordially offered his hand, saying:"How are you, my dear Du Roy?"
3733Du Roy, finding himself alone with Suzanne, said in a caressing voice:"Listen, my dear little one; do you really consider me a friend?"
3733Duroy asked:"Can we not open the window a little?
3733Duroy asked:"Does she help him very much?"
3733Duroy asked:"How is your master?"
3733Duroy asked:"Is M. Walter in?"
3733Duroy asked:"Well, how are you?
3733Duroy asked:"What about his wife?"
3733Duroy began to laugh:"Do n''t you remember me?"
3733Duroy felt reassured and asked:"Is Madame well?"
3733Duroy glanced at the bill and when it was settled, whispered:"How much shall I give the waiter?"
3733Duroy happening to glance at the walls, M. Walter said:"You are looking at my pictures?
3733Duroy hired a room here?"
3733Duroy?"
3733Duroy?"
3733Forestier asked her husband:"Do you wish to retire, or will you go downstairs to dinner?"
3733Forestier asked him, when his letter was completed,"Saint- Potin, at what time shall you interview those people?"
3733Forestier asked irritably:"Are we to have no lamp to- night?
3733Forestier asked sceptically:"To whom do you owe that amount?"
3733Forestier asked:"Is there anything new at the office?"
3733Forestier asked:"Where are you going?"
3733Forestier murmured:"There is no happiness comparable to that first clasp of the hand, when one asks:''Do you love me?''
3733Forestier, Will you come?"
3733Forestier, who seemed not to have heard her, asked:"Do you object to my closing the window?
3733Forestier:"Who is that person?"
3733From the office he proceeded to his home, and hearing the sound of ladies''voices in the drawing- room, he asked the servant:"Who is here?"
3733Georges asked:"How much is that bracelet?"
3733Georges asked:"Is Madame at home?"
3733Georges rang the bell, and when the door was opened, he asked timidly:"When shall I see you again?"
3733Georges sat up in bed and asked:"Well?"
3733Glory?
3733Had he any reason for doing so?"
3733Had she not sent for him?
3733Had she projects, plans?
3733Have you forgiven me?"
3733Have you seen Prince de Guerche?
3733Have you seen her?"
3733He asked abruptly:"How much do you pay here?"
3733He asked harshly:"Will you soon have done crying?"
3733He asked in a gallant, yet paternal tone:"Will you permit me to kiss you, Mademoiselle?"
3733He asked in affright:"What ails you, my dear little one?"
3733He asked in surprise:"Why not?"
3733He asked:"How do you make that out?
3733He asked:"Is Laurine still vexed with me?"
3733He asked:"My little Made, would you like to go as far as the Bois?"
3733He asked:"Well, how did it all pass off?"
3733He asked:"What is it?"
3733He continued:"Had he any relatives at his death- bed?"
3733He continued:"Shall I meet you to- morrow at Park Monceau?"
3733He continued;"Charles has no relatives then?"
3733He cried:"Are you sure of that?"
3733He did not understand her and repeated:"Susceptible herself?"
3733He drew near Clotilde and murmured:"When shall we meet again?"
3733He entered her room out of breath:"Did you know?
3733He entered the room and asked:"Have you invited anyone to dinner?"
3733He followed him, repeating:"Where the deuce have I seen that fellow?"
3733He growled ill- naturedly:"What is it?"
3733He insisted:"Why do you not want me?
3733He interrupted her with an impatient gesture:"Do you know I am getting tired of Charles?
3733He knew that when the beer was placed in front of him, he would drink it; and then what would he do at eleven o''clock?
3733He laid five francs upon the plate and handed the purse to its owner, saying:"Shall I escort you home?"
3733He mounted to the third story of a house in that street, and asked the maid who opened the door:"Is M. Guibert de Lorme at home?"
3733He muttered:"Are you going to begin that again?"
3733He paused for a moment and then asked:"Did you come here in the evening with Charles occasionally?"
3733He paused, reflected several seconds and then asked:"Are you a bachelor?"
3733He replied in the affirmative, adding gently:"Did you not know it?"
3733He replied:"I did not come because it was for the best--""How?
3733He said angrily:"Do you need to exhibit it, or affix it to the door?
3733He said:"Have you been well since we last met?"
3733He saw no one; whence came it?
3733He stammered:"Have you not been better since you are here?"
3733He thought:"What does that old owl want with me?
3733He took advantage of the occasion:"Yes, that is true; shall we go somewhere else?"
3733He took his hat, and, as he was leaving the room, he asked:"Shall I try to compromise with the nephew for fifty thousand francs?"
3733He turned toward her abruptly and said:"If I were free would you marry me?"
3733He whispered:"When can I see you alone to tell you how I love you?"
3733He wondered if his adversary had ever fought before; if he were known?
3733His father asked simply:"Shall I see you soon again?"
3733His friend asked:"Shall you remain any longer?
3733His friend growled angrily:"What do you want again?
3733His second and the doctor felt him, unbuttoned his garments, and asked anxiously:"Are you wounded?"
3733How are you?"
3733How could I have taken the other one?
3733How could he have been so blind?
3733How did he look?
3733How did it happen?"
3733How had she ever consented to marry that man?
3733How long had she known him?
3733How old was he?
3733How tall?
3733How would she receive him?
3733If Cicero and Tiberius were mentioned would you know who they were?"
3733If he did not approach her, what would people think?
3733If he greeted her, might she not turn her back upon him or utter some insulting remark?
3733If he should tremble or lose his presence of mind?
3733If you were not married I should advise you to ask for the hand of-- Suzanne-- would you not prefer her to Rose?"
3733In a short while, he asked:"Shall we go?"
3733In order to insure himself he asked:"Are you asleep?"
3733Is all well?"
3733Is he not considered one of the most capable men in the Chamber?"
3733Is it for this that you sent for me?"
3733Is it not beautiful?"
3733Is it possible?
3733Is that Patte Blanche?
3733Jacques was still in bed, but he rose when the bell rang, and having read the insulting paragraph, said:"Whom would you like to have besides me?"
3733Le Brument asked Duroy:"Do you feel well?
3733Love?
3733M. Duroy, senior, who was naturally jocose, made so bold as to ask with a twinkle in his eye:"May I kiss you too?"
3733M. Walter asked:"Do you know Algeria, sir?"
3733M. Walter was there; he raised his head and asked:"What, are you here?
3733M. de Marelle put a log upon the fire and asked:"Have you been engaged in journalism a long time?"
3733MADAME FORESTIER"Where does M. Forestier live?"
3733Madeleine asked:"What is it?"
3733Madeleine asked:"What, my friend?"
3733Madeleine choked and asked:"Can we go out?
3733Madeleine, who was bored by his silence, asked:"Shall we go to Tortoni''s for ices before returning home?"
3733Madeleine, who was taking off her veil, turned around with a shudder:"Between us?"
3733Money?
3733Need I look over it, Forestier?"
3733Norbert?"
3733Nothing was said during the soup; then Norbert de Varenne asked a general question:"Have you read the Gauthier case?
3733Occasionally a woman would stop and ask with a coarse smile:"What have you to offer, sir?"
3733Of what was she thinking?
3733Oh, my God-- my God-- what has happened to me?
3733On entering the house at his usual time, he said to his wife:"Well, is everyone coming to dinner?"
3733On retiring, haunted by the same thought, he asked:"Did Charles wear a cotton nightcap to keep the draft out of his ears?"
3733On taking leave of him, she asked:"Shall we meet again the day after to- morrow?"
3733One evening Du Roy, who liked sweetmeats, asked:"Why do we never have sweets?"
3733Perceiving that his embrace was colder than usual, she glanced up at him and asked:"What ails you?"
3733Perhaps Madame has your tongue?"
3733Placing the hand he held upon his heart he asked:"Do you feel it beat?"
3733Rival asked:"Do you know what has become of his wife?"
3733Say, Suzanne, have you shown him everything?
3733Seeing that he did not speak, his wife approached the window and pointing to the horizon, said,"Look at that?
3733Shall I speak to the manager?"
3733She answered angrily:"So you are going to marry Suzanne Walter?
3733She appeared surprised:"Why?"
3733She approached him:"Good evening, my dear; are you well?"
3733She asked with a smile:"What have you against him?"
3733She asked:"Can you come to dinner to- morrow?
3733She asked:"Is your native place Canteleu?"
3733She asked:"What secrets, Bel- Ami?"
3733She asked:"Where are we?"
3733She asked:"Would you like a glass of champagne?
3733She blushed and said:"Why should he leave us anything?
3733She continued calmly:"What has become of you?
3733She continued:"Have you grown deaf since Thursday?"
3733She cried:"Leave here-- you will make me-- you?
3733She gasped:"Have you seen Suzanne?"
3733She glanced at him:"What ails you?"
3733She had recovered her self- possession and replied:"Why did you choose to- day?"
3733She interrupted with a laugh:"And he sent you to me?"
3733She laughed angrily and cried:"Are you dumb, too?
3733She looked so pitiful that he rose without a word and asked with some hesitation:"Shall I return presently?"
3733She made an effort to appear dignified and haughty, and asked, though somewhat unsteadily:"Who is it?"
3733She replied naively:"Yes, it happens opportunely, but he is not in the way when he is here; is he?"
3733She replied with provoking archness:"Are we going to Rouen to talk of him?"
3733She reseated herself with docility at his feet and asked:"Will you dine with us to- morrow?
3733She said to him:"Do you remember how gloomy the forest at Canteleu was?
3733She said:"What shall we do?
3733She turned pale, trembled, and asked:"What is it?
3733She was reading a letter and turning to him asked:"What did you say?"
3733Should I confess it-- I, a married man, to you, a young girl?
3733Should he bow to her or pretend not to see her?
3733So what can we do?
3733Still, what difference does a little more or a little less genius make, since all must come to an end?"
3733Suddenly his companion asked,"Why do n''t you try journalism?"
3733Suddenly softened he asked:"How?"
3733Suddenly to his amazement, she exclaimed:"Good evening, Bel- Ami; do you not remember me?"
3733Suppose she forbade him to enter her house?
3733Tell me, has your wife any means?"
3733The brunette called out to him:"Have you found your tongue?"
3733The cabman asked:"Where shall I drive to?"
3733The commissioner turned to Madeleine:"Do you confess, Madame, that this gentleman is your lover?"
3733The curtain fell-- the orchestra played a valse-- and Duroy said:"Shall we walk around the gallery?"
3733The invalid muttered:"I?
3733The lackey asked:"Whom shall I announce, Monsieur?"
3733The latter turned, looked at him, and said:"What do you want, sir?"
3733The man handed him three francs and asked:"Is that enough?"
3733The manager looked keenly at the young man and asked:"Have you brought my article?"
3733The manager stammered:"But your wife?"
3733The officer again asked:"Who are you?"
3733The officer retreated and stammered:"Sir, will you tell me who you are?"
3733The officer turned to him:"Now, sir, will you tell me who you are?"
3733The old man took his son''s arm and asked him:"How are you getting on?"
3733The old poet murmured:"Do you think so?"
3733The priest asked:"Who is waiting for you?"
3733The priest repeated:"You have committed sins: of what kind, my son?"
3733The same maid opened the door, and with the familiarity of an old servant she asked:"Is Monsieur well?"
3733The voice continued:"What do you want?"
3733The voice repeated:"Who are you?"
3733The young girl murmured half sadly, half gaily:"It is a pity that you are married; but what can you do?
3733Then he added:"What shall you do?"
3733Then he asked:"Is your husband well?"
3733Then he asked:"Will you tell me when to pay?"
3733Then turning to his friend, Forestier added:"Have you brought the other paper on Algeria?
3733Then you do not want to marry Marquis de Cazolles?"
3733They entered the shop:"What would you prefer, a necklace, a bracelet, or earrings?"
3733They heard a light step approach, and a woman''s voice, evidently disguised, asked:"Who is there?"
3733They ordered him to spend the winter in the south, but how could he?
3733Throwing her arms around his neck, she exclaimed:"What have I done to you that you should treat me so?"
3733To get your pay?
3733Turning to Madeleine, she asked:"You are not jealous?"
3733Walter and Du Roy do not speak?"
3733Walter turned to her husband and asked in despair:"What does that mean?"
3733Walter, turning her head, called out:"Come, little one; what are you and Bel- Ami doing?"
3733Was he afraid?
3733Was not that a kind of avowal?
3733We shall undoubtedly become good friends; would that please you?"
3733What a lot of people, eh?
3733What can we do?"
3733What comes after it all?
3733What could I do?
3733What did she say?
3733What difference does it make if I die a day sooner or later, since I must die?"
3733What do you long for?
3733What do you want?"
3733What does her husband do?"
3733What for?
3733What have I done to you?
3733What is it?"
3733What is more simple than that?"
3733What is your father''s name?"
3733What o''clock was it?
3733What should he do?
3733What should he do?
3733What should he say?
3733What was the difference between one and the other?
3733What will you do?"
3733What would a respectable man gain by risking his life?
3733What would happen if that state of things should exist?
3733What would she do now?
3733What would this opponent reply?
3733When Du Roy arrived home, he asked Madeleine, who was writing letters:"Shall you dine at the Walters''Friday?
3733When Duroy and Saint- Potin, who had some political information to look up, were in the hall, the latter asked:"Have you been to the cashier''s room?"
3733When Thursday came, he asked Madeleine:"Are going to the fencing- match at Rival''s?"
3733When he asked the janitor of the house in which Count de Vaudrec lived:"How is M. de Vaudrec?
3733When he concluded she asked:"How did you know that?"
3733When he had paid the score, the journalist asked:"Would you like a stroll for an hour?"
3733When he returned, his wife asked:"Where have you been?"
3733When he was gone, Madeleine said to her husband:"Is he not nice?
3733When he was near him, he bowed and said politely:"I beg your pardon, sir, for disturbing you; but can you tell me when this church was built?"
3733When they arrived home, Du Roy closed the door and throwing his hat on the bed, asked:"What were the relations between you and Vaudrec?"
3733When they met, she rushed into his arms, kissed him passionately, and asked:"After a while will you take me to dine?"
3733When they were seated in the cab, she asked:"Where did you tell the coachman to drive to?"
3733When will you elope with me?"
3733Where could she find a priest?
3733Where have you come from?"
3733Where shall I meet you?"
3733Where should she turn?
3733Where the deuce do they get the money from?"
3733Where would you like to go?"
3733Wherefore?
3733Who is he?"
3733Who was he?
3733Who was he?
3733Who was she?
3733Who was that smiling lady?
3733Who was the man?
3733Whom would she marry?
3733Why are you not dining at my house?
3733Why can I not have one?"
3733Why did I never think of it?
3733Why did his heart palpitate so wildly at the slightest sound?
3733Why do I never meet you at the Forestiers?"
3733Why do we never see you any more?"
3733Why do you never come to see me?
3733Why do you refuse to dine with me even once a week?
3733Why had he been insulted?
3733Why should he lament when he had so many years still before him?
3733Why should he not succeed?
3733Why that anxiety as to what she would do?
3733Why that attack?
3733Why?"
3733Will you allow me to retain him on the same terms?"
3733Will you be kind enough to procure one who will require nothing but the confession, and who will not make much fuss?"
3733Will you do so?"
3733Will you go upstairs?"
3733Will you invite Rival and Norbert de Varenne?
3733Will you permit me some day to unburden my heart, to explain all to you?"
3733With a furious glance, Duroy then exclaimed:"How dare you accost me?
3733Without a word, Duroy left the room, and entering his friend''s office, brusquely asked:"Why did not my article appear this morning?"
3733Without giving him time to raise the shades, the latter said:"So you are going to marry Suzanne Walter?"
3733Would you like me to handle you with gloves?
3733You gave her my money-- did you not?
3733as simple as that stupid fellow?"
3733de Marelle in a low voice:"Do you know the one who signs herself''Domino Rose''?"
3733de Marelle our plans?"
3733de Marelle paused in amazement, crying:"Laurine playing?
3733de Marelle rushed in, crying:"Did you hear?"
3733de Marelle said to him:"Would you believe that I have never been to the Folies- Bergeres; will you take me there?"
3733de Marelle, saying:"Shall we dine together and afterward have a frolic?"
3733de Marelle, who was chatting with her hostess, called him:"So, sir,"she said bluntly,"you are going to try journalism?"
3733de Marelle:"May I escort you home?"
3733de Marelle?"
3733de Marelle?"
3733du Roy under suspicious circumstances; what have you to say?"
3733she continued incoherently,"Should I say that to you?
45512Do you know any one she corresponds with frequently?
45512Have I made you happy?
45512The happiest?
45512What are you about? 45512 When the heart is so inclined to good,"said she, glancing a most enchanting look,"how is it possible it should at the same time be prone to vice?"
45512Whence arises this inclination for a walk?
45512Why, my lovely dear, will you no longer be my daughter? 45512 You are happy, then?"
45512( then said I) Will you ruin yourself for ever?
45512(_ Annexed to the former._) How happens it, my dear friend, I no longer see you; although I never cease wishing for it?
45512(_ Wrote with a pencil, and re- copied by Danceny._) You desire to know how I spend my time?
45512--"And what is that?"
45512A correct picture of morals put in motion.--What should be the aim of a novel?
45512A tender attachment, a stronger union, congenial thoughts, the same happiness as the same sorrows; what is there in this that is foreign to you?
45512A transitory apprehension, a momentary gloom, causes my present distress, which love will soon dispel: is it not so, my adorable Cecilia?
45512Again, how is it possible to fix you?
45512Am I no longer, then, your beloved Danceny?
45512Am I then reserved for all this humiliation?
45512Am I totally forgotten?
45512And are you no longer certain of your success?
45512And by whom?
45512And do you doubt my docility?
45512And do you love me, and no longer dread telling me so?
45512And do you think, my charming friend, I should bear it?
45512And if I am so distressed to refuse you at such a distance, how would it be if you was here?
45512And if it be one, is it not sufficiently punished by the racking torments to which I am devoted?
45512And in what manner, pray?
45512And is it not they have approved this necessary step, in compliance with my duty?"
45512And is it possible to imagine the Creator would think himself honoured in hearing pure hearts pouring blessings on a reprobate?
45512And is it thus I am beloved?
45512And must I bear this?
45512And now that I am upon it, give me leave to put you a question: I have been often told it was very wrong to be in love with any body, but why so?
45512And pray how long is it since you have fallen into the method of travelling so gently, and in such bye- roads?
45512And should I, as the generality of men do, be overcome by an accident?
45512And then absence will redouble my torments; to whom but you can I relate my grievances?
45512And thou who I have injured; thou, whose esteem adds to my torment-- thou who only hast a right to revenge; why art thou far from me?
45512And were it possible we could have any pretensions in the sight of God, what could mine be?
45512And what are those that restrain me?
45512And what other method but a speedy rupture can justify a shameful choice?
45512And what virtuous woman could resolve to do that which she would be obliged to conceal?
45512And what woman but you would not, at least, have determined me to blast her reputation?
45512And whom do you think she has chosen for her son- in- law?
45512And why?
45512And yet, was there ever a person more respectful and submissive than I?
45512And"who then can it be?"
45512And_ his manner of speaking, to which one did not know how to answer_, did it not proceed from_ his manner of doing_?
45512Are novels useful, or are they prejudicial to the morals?
45512Are the consequences suitable to the premises?
45512Are there many who will not blush at the awkwardness of Cecilia?
45512Are there many young people who will prefer the character of a virtuous man to the brilliant and lively one of the profligate Valmont?
45512Are there not a hundred others who wish I would pay attention to them, and eagerly accept it?
45512Are you not a little fatigued?
45512Are you not now in that place where you often saw me with indifference?
45512Are you not there surrounded by women, who, all more amiable than me, have a greater right to your homage?
45512Are you not very ungenerous to make me bear the whole burthen of prudential care?
45512Are you not, at least, afraid of offending the one or the other?
45512Are you out of temper with me, Viscount, or are you dead, or, which is pretty much the same, do you live no longer but for your Presidente?
45512Are you quite sure that a desire to write to me will never torment you?
45512Art thou afraid a soft sentiment should invade me?
45512As she is persuaded the cause proceeded from her, ought she not in conscience endeavour to calm them?
45512As to the secret,"added he,"what purpose will it answer to make her promise, since she will risk nothing in deceiving us?
45512As to your prudence and cunning, I do not speak of myself, but where is the woman that has not more of it than you?
45512At what hour can I see you, to seek consolation and advice from you?
45512Be the arbitress of my fate, you can make me happy or miserable for ever; into what dearer hands can I commit such a trust?
45512But because the mind is engaged, must the heart be enslaved?
45512But could one not live in a foreign country as well as here?
45512But for whom?
45512But have you not humiliated yourself?
45512But he would have a kiss first; which I was forced to comply with: for what could I do?
45512But say, Viscount, which of us two will undertake to deceive the other?
45512But shall I then have it torn from me without a struggle?
45512But should irregularities be drawn without inflicting their punishment?
45512But to the point; what did it cost me?
45512But to what am I made a sacrifice?
45512But what do you think of M. de Valmont''s distraction?
45512But what have I to do in common with those inconsiderate women?
45512But what is become of the tender sentiments which inspired you with that readiness of finding out means of daily seeing each other?
45512But where do I wander?
45512But why all those threats and this wrath?
45512But why mention happiness?
45512But why should I have been the instrument, and that at the expence of my repose for life?
45512But why should he remain?
45512But why, when his resolution is to fly me, why begin by seeking me?
45512But why?
45512But will you abuse your power over me?
45512By how many pretexts did you not combat my reasons?
45512By what fatality is it, that Gercourt must always have the advantage of you?
45512By what refinement of cruelty do you envy me the happiness of my love?
45512Can I have any other, than sometimes to bare to you a heart overwhelmed by you with anguish and bitterness?
45512Can I still be worthy a friendship, which is no longer useful to my happiness?
45512Can any be so pleasing as to be at peace with oneself, to enjoy days of serenity, to sleep without disturbance, and to awake without remorse?
45512Can there be any one more agreeable in every sense of the word?
45512Can there be happiness for me that you do not partake?
45512Can you take a step there without meeting an example of your mutability?
45512Can you think I no longer love you?
45512Certainly I should think myself obliged to thank you, and, who knows?
45512Certainly, as to any thing bad, I would not be guilty of it, but what harm can there be in writing, when it is to prevent one from being unhappy?
45512Convince me you are so, by extending your generous care to me; of the many you have relieved, is there a wretch wants it so much as I do?
45512Could I have a little chat with you this morning?
45512Could not M. de Valmont''s happiness be completed but by my misfortune?
45512Did I ever swerve from my submission?
45512Did he talk of returning to Paris?
45512Did it not revolt at the idea of having a cause of complaint against me?
45512Did not the prodigal son at his return, find more grace with his father, than the one who never had been absent?
45512Did you send her the letter I wrote you for her?
45512Do men know how to rate the women they possess?
45512Do men know how to rate the women they possess?
45512Do n''t you feel yourself humiliated at that name?
45512Do n''t you know, that the time for its causing any impression on me will be after I have enjoyed her?
45512Do n''t you recollect, when you first began your courtship to me?
45512Do n''t you think it ought to be made a part of the education of a man of intrigue?
45512Do n''t you, really now, think, after so extraordinary a proceeding, my ungrateful fair one should dread me?
45512Do you believe it is for want of reasons I am silent?
45512Do you doubt of fixing me yours?
45512Do you feel boldness enough to commit an act of injustice?
45512Do you imagine she will go after you?
45512Do you know what you have got by the one you have taken?
45512Do you know you have lost more than you can imagine, in not taking this child under your tuition?
45512Do you know you have roused my jealousy?
45512Do you know you will make me angry, and that I am this instant in a most horrible passion?
45512Do you know, I had like to be exposed on his account, and for no purpose whatever?
45512Do you know, I have a great mind to scold you?
45512Do you know, Viscount, your letter is wonderfully insolent, and has almost made me angry?
45512Do you prefer that despotism which decides without a hearing?
45512Do you then think I can live without your love?
45512Do you think I do not know what you want is not right?
45512Do you think it so pleasing to be scolded every day by mamma?
45512Do you think you will be able to persuade any one that I am here without your consent?
45512Does Madame de Tourvel, in order to inspire a passion, need any deception?
45512Does he bear the nausea of love well?
45512Does not this scheme appear the most feasible as well as the most delightful to you?
45512Does not your heart leap for joy?
45512Does she not attempt to excuse herself?
45512Doubt neither the emotions of my heart, or my proceedings, my dear Viscount-- Is it possible I could resist a wish of my Cecilia''s?
45512Fools will believe him, others will seem to believe him; and then what becomes of your resources?
45512For at your age, where is the woman one does not adore for, at least, the first eight days?
45512For have we not a father as well as a mother, a brother as well as a sister, and there is the husband besides?
45512For is it not in the bosom of my friend I deposit the secrets of my heart?
45512From what other person am I to expect that consolation, which will become so necessary in my affliction?
45512From whence could that involuntary melting proceed whilst he was speaking?
45512From whence proceeds, Madam, the cruel care you take to avoid me?
45512Had it not been for me, you would have been happy; will you forgive me?
45512Has he destroyed himself in a fit of despair?
45512Has she any thing to reproach me with?
45512Has so short an absence altered your sentiments?--Why, then, deceive me?
45512Have I ever been inconstant?
45512Have I not put it in your power to be revenged of Madame de Volanges, for her acrimonious zeal against you?
45512Have I prejudiced myself by my frankness; and will you punish me for my candour?
45512Have you and I mutual interests or no?
45512Have you never observed that pleasure, which is the_ primum mobile_ of the union of the sexes, is not sufficient to form a connection between them?
45512Have you, then, lost the secret of being the most amiable?
45512He has undoubtedly been led astray by some errors; he does not conceal it; but who like him ever knew what was love?
45512He will not treat your mistress worse than you will his; and after all, is not one woman as good as another?
45512Here the timid lover gave way to her tender grief--"But, M. de Valmont, what is the matter?
45512How am I to regain the ground I have lost?
45512How can I be any way concerned in the success of you law suit, as I must suffer by your absence?
45512How comes it, my charming friend, I receive no answers from you?
45512How could it be otherwise?
45512How did I know whether I was acting right or wrong, as you knew nothing of the matter, and it was Mr. Valmont only that mentioned it?
45512How do you employ your time?
45512How do you think I can support the unsufferable idea of your indignation; but especially that I do not sink under the terror of your vengeance?
45512How does he employ himself in the country?
45512How happens it, that being yourself indisposed, you have not a physician?
45512How is all this?
45512How is it I deserved the reproaches you make me, and the indignation you express against me?
45512How is it possible there can be any communication between you and him?
45512How is it possible to discredit perfect happiness, when I experience it this moment?
45512How is it possible, Madam, to answer your last letter; how shall I dare speak truth, when my sincerity may ruin me with you?
45512How is it then, that laying your discretion aside, you have consented to make me unhappy?
45512How is your time taken up in the country?
45512How often have you deplored the time you lost in search of adventures, now you have them at command?
45512How shall I live without you?
45512How shall I write to her?
45512How then can one contribute to their children''s happiness, if our wishes and cares are not sufficient?
45512How then shall I find it, when absent from you?
45512I admit it; but when you put me in mind of this permission, do you think I forget the conditions on which it was granted?
45512I am fond of thinking, and really believe Danceny is not his inferior; but are we so certain of it?
45512I am inclined to think your Presidente is so unfashionable as not to perceive it; but what is that to the purpose?
45512I appeal to yourself, to your honour; how could you think me capable of such a proceeding?
45512I asked my maid, if she knew who was with my Mamma?
45512I ca n''t conceive you; for it is impossible to take your letter in the style it is couched; what did you then mean to say?
45512I do n''t say, but what I wish it as well as you; and you ought to be very sure of it: but what would you have me do?
45512I expect there will be some forms to be settled; but, the first difficulties surmounted, do those austere prudes know where to stop?
45512I gave you leave to write to me, you say?
45512I make no reply, and you are no farther concerned about the matter; have you forgot my lover is your sworn friend?
45512I must own it would have been whimsical to have left her so; but was it possible to think a woman should be ruined for me, that was not ruined by me?
45512I must possess this woman, lest I should be so ridiculous as to be in love; for whither may we not be led by frustrated desire?
45512I only beg of you to ask yourself with sincerity, if you do n''t believe I love you sincerely?
45512I return to my text; what do you mean to say?
45512I returned to the usual common- place phrases--"What do you then regret you have made me the happiest man on earth?"
45512I shall not dwell on the numbers he has seduced; but how many has he not utterly undone?
45512I shall see thee this evening; but shall I find you alone?
45512I think I hear you say,"Can M. de Gercourt and my daughter know each other better?"
45512I vegetate for a long time; it is more than six weeks since I have permitted myself a gaiety; this is the first, how can I refuse it?
45512I will not deny they make against me: but had you not sufficient within your own heart to contend against them?
45512I will not determine; but I would ask what he means by those_ thinking_ men, for whom unadorned morality is not terrifying?
45512I will readily believe I am wrong: but would you not rather recall me by reason, than to combat my opinion?
45512I will readily believe some of them deserve it; but are they all then so contemptible?
45512I would be glad to know how long has this sentiment been detrimental to friendship or love?
45512If a lover, a friend, should ever come to talk to you of gratitude, would you not say to him with indignation, Withdraw, you are a worthless man?
45512If even I was determined on it, should you not have opposed it?
45512If he is so, and behaves thus, where are we to look for men of principle?
45512If it had not been for you, Mamma would have taken notice of it; and then what would have become of me?
45512If love has been sufficient to furnish the means, what is it not capable of when assisted with revenge?
45512If men are such as you describe them, they must be shunned, they are hateful: but where is the resemblance between Valmont and them?
45512If the ungrateful wretch should not come-- Tell me sincerely, do you think he will?
45512If there really are such beings, ought not their society to be avoided carefully?
45512If those reasons were to be no longer valid, the course of business must be altered; then what would become of the respect for old customs?
45512If you are astonished at this heap of nonsense, you must forget our situation: what business had we for better arguments?
45512If you were uneasy because I did not write to you, do you think it did not give me a great deal of concern too?
45512If, as you say, he was only one example of the danger of connections, would he be the less a dangerous connection?
45512If, in common with them, he has that violence of passion you call transport, is it not restrained by delicacy?
45512In about two hours after she asked, whether the room she had, whilst she was a pensioner, was vacant?
45512In the gloom of this abode, where shame has drove me to bury myself, are my sufferings to have no respite; is hope to be for ever banished?
45512In vain should I babble; your existence would nevertheless be brilliant and peaceful: for what would you have to dread?
45512Is it by any imprudent act of your own?
45512Is it in a corrupt world, in which she is just entering, that she will receive the fatal knowledge?
45512Is it in order to form people to the detestable art of seduction, or to inspire them with a horror of it?
45512Is it not a species of infidelity, to leave your friend, after having accustomed him not to be able to exist out of your presence?
45512Is it not better for us to terminate this state of trouble and anxiety?
45512Is it not curious, that I should have reason to complain of love?
45512Is it not enough to have tormented, degraded, abased?
45512Is it not reasonable that I should also know your adversary''s case?
45512Is it not the result of your own reflections?
45512Is it not to them you are indebted for being now with your Presidente, when your own folly drove you from her?
45512Is it not very pleasing to have a young friend, whose inclinations lead him elsewhere?
45512Is it not, then, any longer your happiness as well as mine?
45512Is it nothing to see you?
45512Is it possible that the wicked should participate with the good the extatic pleasures of benevolence?
45512Is it real, or does he mean to deceive the world to the last?
45512Is it the fore- runner of any misfortune, or is it the hope of seeing you that makes me thus?
45512Is it the style of friendship?
45512Is it then impossible to see her?
45512Is it then possible for me to contradict your wishes; and have I not already proved it?
45512Is it thus, then, Sir, you fulfil the conditions on which I consented to receive your letters sometimes?
45512Is not a man our neighbour as well as a woman, and still more so?
45512Is not that confounding the genus with the species?
45512Is not the subject worth the trouble?
45512Is not this a most edifying scruple, especially when he is about seducing the daughter?
45512Is not this an exalted idea?
45512Is not this, then, the exhibition you fly to at the theatre with so much avidity, and applaud with so much ardour?
45512Is not your proceeding to- day your own voluntary act?
45512Is there one so powerful as the god of love?
45512Is this love?
45512Is this passion, then, the only one that you are capable of?
45512Is this the duty of a mother?
45512It has been said to be a picture of the manners of a certain class in society; and, if it was not a resemblance, where would be its utility?
45512It is a great pity; what would you advise me to?
45512It is thee; yes, it is thyself-- What fatal illusion deceived me?
45512It is, then, too true, he has made me a sacrifice; he has even exposed me-- and to whom?--To a vile creature.--But what do I say?
45512It was he saved me; and shall I dare complain of suffering for him?
45512It would be very convenient, would it not?
45512M. Danceny quitted Paris about a fortnight ago; it is said he is gone to Malta, to settle: perhaps it would be yet time enough to prevent him?
45512Mama perceived it as soon as I appeared, and asked me, what was the matter with me?
45512Mamma burst out laughing, saying,"Well, what''s the matter?
45512May I, however, hope to know your reasons?
45512Moreover, this man has certainly some friends, and who knows what such friends may invent to my prejudice?
45512Mr. de Valmont and Danceny-- the very name of Danceny distracts me-- How shall I begin?
45512Must monsters be created to cause in us an aversion of ordinary vices?
45512My full heart could neither command my words or tears; but is it then a crime?
45512My greatest consolation is, you promise me Danceny will love me the more for it: are you very sure of it?
45512Not but I am sensible, this opinion, which custom authorises, hurts delicacy: but why should mine complain, when Valmont''s suffers more?
45512Not that I doubt it; but it relieves my anguish; you love me then?
45512Now let me ask you, can things be put off longer than our next interview?
45512Now seriously, Viscount, have you left the Presidente?
45512Now tell me, most venerable friend, if M. de Valmont is an irretrievable debauchee?
45512Now, can you believe that I can see Danceny cry, without crying myself?
45512Now, you must agree, there is some pleasure in talking rationally to me, has not your_ important advice_ had great success; but what can I do?
45512Now, young gentleman, how will you behave in this business?
45512Of what estimation would virtue be, without the obligations it imposes?
45512On whom do your suspicions fall?
45512Or should I have punished myself for a momentary error by an useless constancy, which would only have exposed me to ridicule?
45512Or would you force me to believe, by so undeserved a rigour, if I had deceived you, I should have gained more indulgence?
45512Ought I then be so much humbled?
45512Ought you even to have made me such a proposition?
45512P. S. But what''s become of our poor Chevalier?
45512Perhaps this is obscure to you; but why are you not here?
45512Perhaps you''ll ask me why?
45512Placed between coquetry and love, pleasure and happiness, which will you choose?
45512Plunged into consternation as I am by your letter, how shall I answer it, Madam?
45512Pray is that so common an exploit?
45512Pray, good Sir, what could you have done more?
45512Read the tenth letter: vice is to be drawn; but should it be drawn in such seducing colours?
45512Shall I be the cause of my child''s unhappiness?
45512Shall I confess to you, this is the idea that at present torments me most?
45512Shall I hear from you this day?
45512Shall I not, then, know how to preserve myself from it?
45512Shall I tell you the real cause of my assiduity?
45512Shall the most delicate sensations of the mind, tenderness and constancy, be employed against her?
45512Should I boast of a modesty, for which I am only indebted to Valmont?
45512Should I consent to share with another a sentiment proceeding from your soul?
45512Should I force her inclinations, am I not answerable for the dreadful consequences that may ensue?
45512Should I sacrifice an inclination, and a new one, for you?
45512Should innocence weep without being avenged?
45512Should vice, with impunity, applaud its infamous triumphs?
45512Should, then, the prospect of so charming a futurity be sacrificed to vain motives?
45512Since when, then, do the charms of Friendship dissipate those of Love?
45512Speak truth, do you deceive yourself, or do you mean to deceive me?
45512Still would not that innocent heart, that soft and easy temper, be moulded to good more readily than it was hurried to evil?
45512Tell me, how have I deserved this afflicting rigour?
45512Tell me, then, have I for ever lost your heart?
45512Tell me, then, my dear sighing swain, of the different women you have had, do you think you gained any of them by force?
45512That your love is now a torment to you; that you ca n''t live any longer thus, nor bear to be so circumstanced?
45512The illusions of love, I will allow, are more engaging; but do n''t we well know they are not so lasting?
45512The one that is in most danger, ought they not to forget the other?
45512This I think sufficient to call him a very dangerous man: but is it not enough for you, Marchioness, he is_ handsome, very handsome,_ as you say?
45512This is all well-- But if, unfortunately, I am blind, or without a guide, who is to restore me sight, or lead me?
45512This precious friendship, which you undoubtedly thought me worthy of, as you condescended to offer it, what have I since done to forfeit?
45512This punishment is just; but the idea alone is enough to make one shudder; but what is all this to me?
45512This visit importunes me; I repent having promised it-- what occasion to see me again-- what are we now to each other?
45512This word alarms you; and, pray, why?
45512This, I believe, is the full contents of your letter; and is it not the first elements of the art of seduction?
45512Those are your terms; who then are those officious friends?
45512Those childish tricks are passable on the eve; but on the morrow is it not ridiculous?
45512Those striking truths, so easy to put in practice, what have they in them frightful?
45512Thus offering you my friendship, Sir, I give you every thing that belongs to me; every thing that is at my disposal; what can you wish for more?
45512Thus, this adventure, which according to your opinion, was never to be determined, could, as you see, have been ended this morning?
45512To add, if possible, to the happiness I experience in loving her, by the additionally charming idea that it is your friend I love?
45512To recall me if I should stray?
45512To talk to me of my Cecilia?
45512To whom shall I fly for consolation?
45512Turn thy languishing eyes towards me-- What are those bands you want to break?
45512Unfortunately( but why must it be a misfortune?)
45512Upon my word you have a good opinion of me: But even suppose it the case, what would it avail me?
45512Was I to choose a husband, I who knew nothing of a married state?
45512Was he not already dead to me?"
45512Well, Marchioness, how are you after the pleasures of last night?
45512Well, do n''t you guess yet?
45512Well, my dear little creature, you are very much vexed and ashamed; and this same Valmont is a wicked man, is he not?
45512What account can we demand of him who owes us nothing?
45512What am I to do?
45512What are become of your vows of eternal constancy?
45512What avail thy reproaches and thy tears?
45512What can I say more?
45512What can I then do, but admire and pity you?
45512What can have caused so sudden, so cruel a change in you?
45512What can he say in his justification?--But what matters it to him?
45512What can it hide, then, more afflicting to a mother''s heart, than those horrible suspicions to which you give me up?
45512What can she do with the letters she receives?
45512What can she think of?
45512What can this affair be,_ the greatest of his whole life?_ On what account should he ask my pardon?
45512What can this affair be,_ the greatest of his whole life?_ On what account should he ask my pardon?
45512What can thus alter thy countenance?
45512What can you have more to say to me?
45512What could I wish for more than what I have, enjoyments, privations, hope, and incertitude?
45512What could his slaves do more?
45512What crime have I unintentionally committed which puts you so much out of temper?
45512What deity dared she invoke?
45512What did he do?
45512What did he say then?
45512What did she say?
45512What did you then not say to me?
45512What do I say?
45512What do you dread, what can you dread, from a sentiment that you will always have the power to direct at your pleasure?
45512What do you mean?
45512What do you propose to me?
45512What do you say?
45512What do you think of that?
45512What does it avail me to talk to you of my sentiments, if it is only in vain that I seek means of convincing you?
45512What does this woman mean?
45512What fatality attaches me to this woman?
45512What has been said to you?
45512What has happened, and what has he lost?
45512What have I done, then, to put you so much out of temper?
45512What have you then done, that I have not surpassed by a million of degrees?
45512What increases my embarrassment, is the speedy return of M. de Gercourt-- Must I break off this advantageous match?
45512What is a novel?
45512What is it, then, you mean to say?
45512What is now left me?
45512What is she now doing?
45512What man would not have forfeited his life by so daring an act of insolence?
45512What matters my silence to you?
45512What more could be done?
45512What more is to be had on a grand theatre?
45512What mother would not tremble to see any other but herself speak to her daughter?
45512What new transport inspires thee?
45512What obstacles to surmount?
45512What occasion for them, when you are certain to be obeyed, even in your unjust orders?
45512What opinion have you of late conceived of me, when even favourably inclined, you doubt my sentiments or inclinations?
45512What purpose would it answer, Sir, to give a reply to your request?
45512What reproaches have you to make to yourself?
45512What right have you to pretend to dispose of a heart, whose homage you refuse?
45512What rival have you to encounter?
45512What sacrifice would be painful when your heart could dispense the reward?
45512What say you, my lovely friend; are not you tired of your constancy?
45512What shall I say to you then, when I even do not know what to think?
45512What shall I say?
45512What shall I say?
45512What should it express, when nothing speaks to her heart?
45512What sort of friendship is it that you consent shall subsist between us?
45512What stronger proof can you require?
45512What then can prevent you; it is not, I hope, the dread of a refusal?
45512What then happens between a couple that I suppose decent?
45512What was the consequence?
45512What will now become of me?
45512What will save us from the miseries that hang over us?
45512What will you say, then, when your lover''s will be so?
45512What woman on earth could he make happier than me?
45512What would become of you now, if it had been only a trick I put upon you?
45512What would she get by severity?
45512What would you advise me to?
45512What would you have a poor woman do, who surrenders, and will not be accepted?
45512What you wished to obtain, I was impatient to grant; but I, in turn, now make a request; and what is that request?
45512What, have you then pardoned him the affair of Madame the Intendante?
45512What, then, has M. de Valmont wrote to you?
45512What, then, is become of the active friendship of Valmont?
45512What, then, my charming friend, are those sacrifices you think I would not make to your pleasure?
45512What, would you instruct a novice who neither knows how to take or leave you, for whom you must do every thing?
45512When I would even grant you equal talents with us, how much more must we surpass you by the necessity we are under of employing them continually?
45512When have you seen me depart from the rules I have laid down to myself, and abandon my own principles?
45512Whence arises, my charming friend, this strain of acrimony and ridicule which runs through your last letter?
45512Whence proceed these fears?
45512Where are now the friends to whom I was dear?
45512Where are you both?
45512Where did you find the idea you have imbibed of the heart of a libertine?
45512Where is the man who would not complain to be so treated?
45512Where is the merit that may be truly called yours?
45512Where is the person who has not had their struggles?
45512Where is the woman who would not fly the first advances of a seducer?
45512Where is there a truly delicate and sensible woman, who has not met unhappiness where she expected bliss?
45512Where is there another so worthy to inspire them?
45512Where is, then, the advantage of my daughter being born to a large fortune, if she is to be nevertheless the slave to that fortune?
45512Where shall I find strength or resolution?
45512Where then will you seek consolation?
45512Where was you yesterday?
45512Where, then, is the boasted ingenuity of love?
45512Whether you are not even certain of having fixed this, as yet, I most own, too inconstant heart?
45512Whether you have the least doubt of your empire over my heart?
45512Which of us is in the wrong?
45512Who could have thought I should have been allied to Gercourt?
45512Who inspired them?
45512Who is it can have betrayed us?
45512Who is to be believed, when Cecilia deceives me?
45512Who knows but we were born for each other?
45512Who then would have dared to tell you, you will sigh for this woman?
45512Who think you it is that wants to destroy me, with this woman I adore?
45512Who would dare embark upon a sea spread with thousands and thousands of wrecks, and with whom?
45512Why are you absent?
45512Why ca n''t I instantly consummate this sorrowful sacrifice, and forget at once the cause and the object?
45512Why can I not serve you?
45512Why did I flatter myself with being able to conquer it at my pleasure?
45512Why did I not endeavour to resist the dominion of your charms that have taken possession of my imagination?
45512Why did I not oppose sooner this growing inclination?
45512Why do you obstinately follow me?
45512Why do you pursue my steps?
45512Why do you seem to announce that our correspondence is to cease?
45512Why do you seem to announce that our correspondence is to cease?
45512Why has not Madame de Merteuil always secrets to impart to your Mamma?
45512Why is it he has left off writing to me so suddenly?
45512Why is it, because we are at some distance, we have nothing more to say to each other?
45512Why must the idea of the restraint that attends us, be mixed with the delicious remembrance that fills my soul?
45512Why not here to give me an answer?
45512Why obey me only by halves, and in some measure make a bargain of a simple, genteel act?
45512Why should I deprive her the pleasure of making the fortune of the man she loves?
45512Why should I trouble myself about you or them; what right have you to disturb my peace?
45512Why should he cease loving me?
45512Why should you be displeased with sentiments to which you have given birth?
45512Why tell me of an eternal rupture?
45512Why tell me you still love me, and even still more?
45512Why then run such a hazard with one so dear to you?
45512Why those solemn preparations for death?
45512Why will you persecute me?
45512Why, Sir, do you endeavour at a diminution of my gratitude to you?
45512Why, convinced of its inestimable value, must I know myself no longer worthy of it?
45512Why, my lovely dear, will you no longer be my daughter?
45512Why, then, do I run madding after this one that flies me, and neglect those that offer?
45512Why, then, will you torment yourself?--And why torment me?
45512Will it be in this ridiculous passion, against which you should have guarded her, by which you even suffer yourself to be seduced?
45512Will not this be a sprightly jaunt?
45512Will nothing move you?
45512Will thou then rob me of the peaceful tomb?
45512Will you blame your own work?
45512Will you permit my age to make a reflection which seldom occurs to yours?
45512Will you refuse even the acknowledgment of the sacrifices you require?
45512Will you then never cease being unjust?
45512Will you turn aside, not to see the tears you cause to flow?
45512Will you, who are the cause, refuse me that consolation?
45512With a charming woman, whom you adore?
45512Would it not be humorous enough to steal a letter or a portrait of a rival, or to extract from the pocket of a prude, materials to unmask her?
45512Would not one imagine, you never had made any other happy, perfectly happy?
45512Would you believe it was three whole days before your letter had any effect on the little terrified creature?
45512Would you believe it?
45512Would you believe it?
45512Would you believe it?
45512Would you impute, then, to criminality this new affection?
45512Yet who knows whether this apparent discretion is not the result of the mediocrity of his income?
45512Yet, after all, what am I about to do, but exhibit your own productions?
45512You are quite right, it is a pity, and I am as sorry as you that he should be the hero of this adventure; but what can be done?
45512You ask me whence proceeds this excessive confidence?
45512You did not expect such things from him; is it not true?
45512You forbid me, Madam, to talk to you of my love: but where shall I find courage to obey you?
45512You found Danceny at my house, and you was displeased; be it so: but what conclusion do you draw from thence?
45512You have a rendezvous for to- night: have you not?
45512You have seduced, ruined several women: but what difficulties had you to encounter?
45512You have taken great trouble to be informed of them, most certainly: and pray what progress have you made by it?
45512You may guess how my modesty displayed itself; but who can stop a woman''s tongue, who unconsciously praises the man she loves?
45512You perhaps hope to prove to this woman, that she should give herself up?
45512You seem to make a great merit of your last scene with the Presidente; but what does that prove in support of your system, or against mine?
45512You wish then, Madam, that I should form a good opinion of the virtue of Monsieur de Valmont?
45512You''ll quote Madame de Merteuil, whose connection with him has escaped censure; you''ll perhaps ask me why I admit him to my house?
45512Your portrait have I said?
45512[ 1] Is it to punish me for not guessing at what was improbable; or do you suspect me of creating you affliction designedly?
45512[ 1] Is it to punish me for not guessing at what was improbable; or do you suspect me of creating you affliction designedly?
45512[ 1] have I not more reason for revenge?
45512am I not now much the wiser?
45512and could you possibly not wish to have her for a friend, whom you would wish to inspire with more tender sentiments?
45512and if you succeed, where is the glory?--I go farther: pleasure is out of the question; for who ever had any with a prude?
45512and will you betray that confidence that you seemed to countenance, and to which I unreservedly gave way?
45512can to- day make you forget them?
45512did not you say to yourself, one kiss would have made him completely happy, and refused it?
45512for what is life without him?
45512is it so powerful as to exclude friendship?
45512it is no longer with fear, it is the soft emotion of love; why refuse my tender caresses?
45512it will be an absolute regale to see you again-- will you come?
45512me consent to be forgotten by Mademoiselle de Volanges, and I to forget her?
45512my heart is oppressed; it seeks to pour out its distress into the friendly bosom of prudence and mildness:--where could it find it but with you?
45512or who will give me advice in my distress?
45512she certainly has not sense enough for dissipation?
45512so you are to meet Danceny to- morrow morning?
45512what can I say but what I think?
45512what is this I learn, my dear Madam?
45512what is this very urgent danger which threatens you?
45512what will become of us?
45512when shall we see each other again?
45512who are we, that we dare blame one another?
45512who are we, that we dare blame one another?
45512why did I ever speak to you?
45512why does the reflection that you are a prey to grief come to disturb my charmed mind?
45512why is not your happiness dependent on me?
45512will thou never be tired persecuting me?
45512will you cease loving me, because it is not quite so easy to see me as formerly?
45512will you refuse me?
45512will you this day, then, Madam, give me up to everlasting despair?
45512would we have had more reason to boast of purity in our connection, if it had taken more time to form?
33928A great risk?
33928Ah!--and he did not say anything?
33928Already?
33928And he told you to come and see me? 33928 And our-- our-- article, will it go in to- night?"
33928And the title?
33928And you,she asked,"how do you like your new life?"
33928And-- we will leave for Paris to- morrow?
33928Another bock, eh?
33928Anything new at the paper?
33928Are you a good swordsman?
33928At play?
33928At the same time?
33928Boisrenard? 33928 But what do you want to do?"
33928But where are we?
33928But where?
33928But why? 33928 But, surely not; what does it all mean, tell me?"
33928By whom?
33928Can not we open the window a little?
33928Can you get out of the hotel alone?
33928Come, what are you going to say?
33928DEAR SIR AND FRIEND,--You told me, did you not, that I could reckon upon you for anything? 33928 Did you ever cuckold poor Charles?"
33928Do n''t you know me?
33928Do n''t you remember, what you promised me here on the evening of the fête?
33928Do you know the other, the one who signs herself''Pink Domino''?
33928Do you know what became of his wife?
33928Do you know what his fortune was?
33928Do you love me enough to run a risk?
33928Do you remember the forest close to your home, how gloomy it was?
33928Do you take coffee, Monsieur Duroy?
33928Had he any other relatives?
33928Has your mistress come home?
33928Have you seen everything? 33928 Have you seen the paragraph in the_ Plume_?"
33928Have you the courage to set your father and mother at defiance?
33928He has no relations, then?
33928He was very well off, Vaudrec?
33928Heavy?
33928How is your master?
33928How many more sunsets shall I see? 33928 How so?"
33928How so?
33928I? 33928 If I dared to, what would she do?"
33928Is it a large one?
33928Is it not so?
33928Is n''t it nice, eh, is n''t it nice? 33928 Is she of the same breed?"
33928It is a promise, then?
33928It is true, then?
33928Monsieur Walter, if you please?
33928No other reason?
33928No; what?
33928No; why?
33928Nothing more?
33928Number ought, Nowhere Street, eh? 33928 Quite plainly?"
33928Really now?
33928Really?
33928Shall I stand you some jewelry?
33928Shall we stroll down as far as the Seine?
33928Shall you have done grizzling soon?
33928The governor? 33928 The greatest of risks?"
33928Then it is his nephew who will inherit?
33928Then you must know something about agriculture?
33928Then-- then-- you have not been so very angry with me?
33928To see you die? 33928 To- morrow morning?"
33928Truly?
33928Very well, and you?
33928Very well, thanks-- and you?
33928Well, sir,she said, abruptly,"so you want to try your hand at journalism?"
33928Well, then, you will promise me one thing?
33928Well, will you come with me to the_ Vie Francaise_, where I have some proofs to correct, and then we will take a bock together?
33928Well, will you walk home a bit of my way with me?
33928Well?
33928Well?
33928What about?
33928What are they?
33928What are you doing here?
33928What are you doing in Paris?
33928What do you mean, Pretty- boy?
33928What has brought you out so early?
33928What is it you want with me now?
33928What is it?
33928What is up, then?
33928What shall we do now? 33928 What shall we, do?"
33928What was she thinking?
33928What, dear?
33928What? 33928 What?"
33928When shall I see you?
33928When shall we see one another again?
33928Where are we?
33928Where are we?
33928Where can we meet again?
33928Where did they unearth these literary phenomena?
33928Who is waiting for you?
33928Who? 33928 Why do you call me that?"
33928Why not, then?
33928Why not?
33928Why so?
33928Why so?
33928Why? 33928 Why?"
33928Will you take a seat, sir?
33928Will you take young Duroy here with you, and let him into the way of doing it?
33928Within ten days?
33928Yes, yes; and then?
33928Yes; but what is it?
33928Yes; why?
33928You are from the country?
33928You are in mourning?
33928You are quite certain?
33928You are quite steady?
33928You have confidence in me?
33928You have invited some one to dinner, then?
33928You have no dress clothes? 33928 You kept them on?"
33928You know it is to be played at the Odeon next winter?
33928You mean to get a divorce?
33928You remember what I said to you just now?
33928You will see me home, Pretty- boy?
33928Your father was very angry when you said no?
33928Your native place is Canteleu?
33928Your parents live near Rouen, do they not? 33928 ''What do you mean?'' 33928 ''Why?'' 33928 A deputy, as Madame de Marelle fancied, or some young fellow with a future before him, a higher class Forestier? 33928 A man''s angry voice shouted:What is that little devil howling about now?"
33928A regular Jew?
33928A voice rang out in the deep silence, a voice that seemed to come from a great distance, saying:"Are you ready, gentlemen?"
33928A voice, a woman''s voice, that an attempt was evidently being made to disguise asked:"Who is there?"
33928About four o''clock he received a telegram from his mistress, running:"Shall we dine together, and have a lark afterwards?"
33928After a brief silence she asked:"Have you been long in Paris?"
33928After a few moments, he said,"Shall we go?"
33928After a minute or so, he asked:"Did you ever come here like this of an evening with Charles?"
33928Ah, so you have come to old women, have you?
33928All at once a woman''s head was passed through the window, and asked:"Are you there, Pretty- boy?"
33928All at once she asked:"Will you come home with me?"
33928An astonished silence followed this opinion, and Madame Walter asked with a smile:"But why?"
33928And as Duroy still smiled without replying, he asked:"Are you going to stop any longer?
33928And he kept asking himself:"What shall I do?
33928And he kept continually repeating,"How is it that she could have stomached such a donkey for a single moment?"
33928And now, how do you speak to me?
33928And suppose she would not receive him at all?
33928And then-- why not-- if it were possible?
33928And turning to Madeleine, she added:"You are not jealous?"
33928And we will go home early, eh?"
33928And what is her husband?"
33928And who knows?
33928And why had she summoned him?
33928And why should he not succeed too?
33928And why?
33928And with the pistol?"
33928And you, sir, is it out of curiosity that you entered this church?"
33928Another bock, eh?
33928Are you quite well?"
33928As he re- entered his home, his wife said:"Where did you get to?"
33928As she left him she said:"Shall we meet again the day after to- morrow?"
33928As she seemed to be treated with great attention, Duroy asked Madame Forestier:"Who is that lady?"
33928As soon as he had left Madeleine said to her husband:"Is he not perfect?
33928As soon as she had rejoined him, and had carefully drawn down the blind on her side, she asked:"Where have you told the driver to take us?"
33928As soon as she saw that Madame de Marelle was looking at her she touched Duroy''s shoulder, saying:"Good evening, are you quite well?"
33928At length he said:"Then you have not got any better since you have been here?"
33928At length the sub- chief said, hesitatingly:"You said?"
33928Besides, what was there for him to be afraid of?
33928Boisrenard went on:"Who gave you this''Echo''?"
33928But as Madame Forestier was showing him out, he said to her, quickly:"You have not forgotten our agreement?
33928But he felt so deeply moved that he asked himself:"Can one be afraid in spite of one''s self?"
33928But he merely interrupted him by asking:"And your name is Saint- Potin?"
33928But he smiled, and replied:"As that cuckold of a Forestier?"
33928But he went on,"No, but tell me now, he must have been a duffer to sleep with?"
33928But how can I get out of it?
33928But how could she meet him herself afterwards?
33928But how had she been able to gain their confidence and their affection?
33928But how is it one no longer sees you at the Forestiers?"
33928But how the deuce is it that you could not get hold of anything better than a clerk''s berth on the Northern Railway?"
33928But may one ask you what is the opinion of Monsieur de Marelle?"
33928But on going to bed, still haunted by the same idea, he asked:"Did Charles wear nightcaps for fear of the draughts?"
33928But she merely looked him down from head to foot, saying:"What do you want with me?"
33928But suppose he shook?
33928But what could he fear?
33928But where could she find one?
33928But where is the woman who has not been loved thus?
33928But where is your portmanteau?"
33928But who first took them?
33928But why do you no longer ever come to see me?
33928But why this anxiety as to what she would do?
33928But, tell me, how is it that Du Roy comes to be married in church after a divorce?"
33928Can I withdraw?"
33928Can one tell what she wants and what she cares for?
33928Certainly she already had lovers, but of what kind, in what class of society?
33928Come, admit that you cuckolded him?"
33928Come, can not we modify this word Canteleu a little?"
33928Come, is it not true?"
33928Could not these hussies tell what a man was?
33928Could you not, on the occasion of your marriage, ennoble yourself a little?"
33928Did he see this nephew often?"
33928Did not you, yourself, just now have hopes that he would leave us something?"
33928Did she even suspect it?
33928Did she know herself?
33928Did you not admit to me the other evening that Forestier was a cuckold?"
33928Did you notice her?"
33928Did you see the Prince de Guerche?
33928Do n''t you know, Monsieur Montelin, that one should always let one''s debts mount up, in order to offer a composition?''"
33928Do not women always hope for something that is not?
33928Do they pay you, eh-- do they pay you?
33928Do you feel capable of that?"
33928Do you know, I have dreamed of you twice since last time?"
33928Do you love me as well, baby?"
33928Do you remember what you said to me in the church, and how you forced me into this house?
33928Do you think I did not see that you could not pass a couple of days without having him here?"
33928Do you think I do n''t know how you slept with Susan to oblige her to marry you?"
33928Do you think I do n''t know you robbed Madeleine of half Vaudrec''s money?
33928Do you understand now how our acceptance of it would be interpreted?
33928Do you understand?
33928Do you want anything?"
33928Doctor Le Brument said to Duroy:"Do you feel all right?
33928Du Roy thought:"Will this resolution hold good?"
33928Du Roy turned towards him, and smiling insolently, said:"Why so?
33928Du Roy, who was thinking of obtaining an appointment elsewhere than at the Church of the Trinity, murmured:"Where shall I see you to- morrow?"
33928Duroy asked:"Does she help him much?"
33928Duroy asked:"What is his wife, really?"
33928Duroy asked:"Who is that?"
33928Duroy checked it, and then handed over two notes and received back the change, saying in a low tone:"What shall I give the waiter?"
33928Duroy drank a glass of beer with his new comrades, and then said to his friend:"What am I to do now?"
33928Duroy replied:"What can I do, there is no direct attack?"
33928Duroy, after a few moments''silence, inquired,"Shall you be long before you return to Paris?"
33928Duroy, surprised at this, asked:"Whoever took you there?"
33928Forestier asked:"Where are you going?"
33928Forestier asked:"Where does it hang out?"
33928Forestier remarked, with irritation,"Well, are they going to bring in the lamp to- night?
33928Forestier said to him:"I say, Saint- Potin, when are you going to interview those people?"
33928Forestier, skeptical on the point, inquired:"Whom do you owe it to?"
33928Forestier, who did not seem to have heard, said:"Would you mind the window being closed?
33928From time to time a woman would stop and ask, with stereotyped smile:"Are you going to stand me anything?"
33928From time to time his teeth absolutely chattered, and he asked himself:"Has my adversary been out before?
33928From time to time she would hesitate, and ask:"Is that what you want to say?"
33928George continued:"You have until nine o''clock, have you not?
33928George inquired:"And Laurine, is she still angry with me?"
33928George inquired:"How much is this bracelet?"
33928George said:"She will marry again very quickly, no doubt?"
33928God-- God-- God; what is to become of me?
33928Had she any projects, any plans, any settled ideas?
33928Had she fancied them more poetical?
33928Had she not sent for him under the present grave circumstances?
33928Has thy wife any money?"
33928Have I caught her, too?"
33928Have you forgiven me?"
33928Have you had something to eat and drink?"
33928Have you seen the governor?
33928Have you shown him everything, Susan?
33928He admitted it quietly, and added:"Did not you know it?"
33928He asked abruptly:"Why so?"
33928He asked in a gallant, and at the same time fatherly, tone:"Will you allow me to kiss you, Mademoiselle?"
33928He asked the doorkeeper of the house in which the Count de Vaudrec resided:"How is Monsieur de Vaudrec?
33928He asked, startled:"Well, what is it?
33928He asked:"Well, how did it go off?"
33928He asked:"Why so?
33928He began to follow him, turning over his recollections and repeating to himself half- aloud:"Where the deuce did I know that joker?"
33928He began to laugh, and Madeleine asked:"What is it?"
33928He came home very calm, and as Madeleine was writing letters, said to her:"Are you going to dine at the Walters''on Friday?
33928He could no longer speak or think of anything else and said in a spiteful tone,"I say, Made?"
33928He darted forward to meet the wife of the manager, and then shaking Du Roy by the hand, said:"How are you, Pretty- boy?"
33928He darted forward with,"Allow me, Madame?"
33928He did not turn round, and she went on:"What, have you grown deaf since Thursday?"
33928He did not understand what she meant, and inquired,"How of no moment?"
33928He emphasized each point several times, saying:"When they say,''Are you ready, gentlemen?''
33928He exclaimed, in a pathetic tone:"Can we command our feelings?"
33928He felt reassured, as if he had anticipated her displaying a troubled countenance, and asked:"Is your mistress quite well?"
33928He growled ill- temperedly:"What is it?"
33928He had forced her to sit down, and, kneeling before her, went on:"Have you forgiven me?
33928He halted in surprise, saying:"What is it you wish, madame?"
33928He inquired, in order to make certain:"Are you asleep?"
33928He inquired, suddenly softening,"How so?
33928He inquired, with alarm:"What is the matter with you, darling?"
33928He inquired:"How have you been during the century that has elapsed since our last meeting?"
33928He jumped in after her, and when the driver asked,"Where to, sir?"
33928He kicked it aside, and said with a laugh:"Charles was always chilly about the feet, I suppose?"
33928He looked at her, asking himself whether she was not mad, and then said:"What can I do for you?"
33928He made an angry movement, and exclaimed, in an exasperated tone:"What do you mean by speaking to me?
33928He murmured,"I love you,"and then inquired,"Is your husband quite well?"
33928He murmured:"But-- your wife?"
33928He murmured:"When can I see you quite alone, to tell you how I love you?"
33928He murmured:"Will you allow me the hope that we shall be more so?"
33928He murmured:"You must be very tired?"
33928He must have been very comical at such a time?"
33928He opened it, and Madame de Marelle rushed into the room, terrified and breathless, stammering:"Did you hear?"
33928He placed the hand he held upon his heart, saying:"Do you feel it beat?"
33928He put five francs on the salver, and handed back the purse, saying:"Shall I see you to your door?"
33928He rang the bell, and as the door opened, said, tremblingly:"When shall I see you again?"
33928He remained silent for a few moments, evidently reflecting, and then asked:"Have you a bachelor''s degree?"
33928He replied, in a grumbling tone:"Why go out?
33928He said, angrily:"Have we any need to show it and to paste it up on all the walls?
33928He said:"Would you like to go to Père Lathuile''s?"
33928He seized the opportunity:"It is true; will you come somewhere else?"
33928He squeezed her hands:"Yes, yes, what would I not forgive you, loving you as I do?"
33928He started, almost choked with emotion,"Is that you, Susan?"
33928He suddenly had an inspiration, and asked:"What is the rent here?"
33928He thought,"What does this old screech- owl want with me now?
33928He thought:"What matters the past?
33928He thought:"What shall I do now?"
33928He took his hat, and then, at the moment of going out, said:"I will try to settle the difficulty with the nephew for fifty thousand francs, eh?"
33928He turned suddenly towards her, and said right in her face:"If I were free, would you marry me?"
33928He wanted to start a clever and attractive chat, but not being able to do so to his liking, stammered:"Then you are not too angry with me?"
33928He was astonished, and asked:"Who is he, too?"
33928He was astonished, and asked:"Why not?"
33928He was sometimes astonished at this revolt of his heart, which he did not understand, and said to himself,"How the deuce is it?
33928He was surprised, more by the tone than by the words, and asked:"Why not?"
33928He was told to spend the winter in the South, but how could he?
33928He went into her room breathless, and said at once:"Have you heard?
33928He went on:"To- morrow, will you let me meet you in the Parc Monseau?"
33928He wore an insolent and chaffing air as he said:"Well, what?
33928He would say,"I say, Made, do you remember the day when that duffer Forestier tried to prove to us that stout men were stronger than spare ones?"
33928Her face was so upset, so full of pain, that he rose without saying a word, and then, after a little hesitation, asked:"Shall I come back presently?"
33928His friend, turning his face towards him-- an angry face, too-- growled:"What is it you want now?
33928His seconds and the doctor touched him, felt him and unbuttoned his clothes, asking, anxiously:"Are you hit?"
33928His wife had rejoined him, and stammered:"Well?"
33928How are you?"
33928How can you?
33928How could he take advantage of her in that place?
33928How did I come to take that other one?
33928How did it happen?"
33928How ever had she agreed on her part to marry that poor and commonplace young fellow?
33928How had she succeeded in making someone of him?
33928How had they become acquainted?
33928How is it I did not think of it?
33928How is it one no longer sees you?"
33928How is it that I never noticed it?
33928How is it?"
33928How long had she known him?
33928How was it he had been blind enough not to understand that?
33928How would he receive her?
33928How would she receive him?
33928I ask you who you are?"
33928I at once ask myself:''Who will replace him?''
33928I came, here I am; will you forgive me this early visit and the frankness of this explanation?"
33928I ought to get along quicker than this,"and asked:"How did you make Forestier''s acquaintance?"
33928I want to see how she will receive me on Thursday?"
33928II"Monsieur Forestier, if you please?"
33928If anyone mentions Cicero or Tiberius, you know pretty well what they are talking about?"
33928If he did not approach her, what would people think?
33928If he spoke to her, might she not turn her back on him, or treat him with insolence?
33928If some power stronger than his will overcame it, what would happen?
33928If we do n''t succeed after all?"
33928If you were not bespoken, I should advise you to ask for the hand of-- Susan, eh?
33928In a moment he had turned out all his pockets, those of his trousers, coat, and waistcoat, and murmured:"There, are you satisfied now?"
33928In any case, can you give me your answer on all these points before Saturday?"
33928Is he a frequenter of the shooting galleries?
33928Is he known and classed as a shot?"
33928Is it agreed?
33928Is it not so, Monsieur Norbert?"
33928Is it not so?"
33928Is it settled?"
33928Is it to you or to him that I have to answer?"
33928Is it with you or with him that I have to do?
33928Is n''t it funny?
33928Is not that beautiful?"
33928Madame Forestier said to her husband,"Will you go to bed, or would you rather come down to dinner?"
33928Madeleine, who was taking off her veil, turned round with a start, exclaiming:"I?
33928Monsieur Walter asked:"Do you know Algeria, sir?"
33928Monsieur Walter held the lamp at arm''s length, and repeated, with a sly laugh:"It is funny, is n''t it?"
33928Monsieur de Marelle placed a log upon the fire, and inquired:"Have you been long engaged in journalism?"
33928Nothing was said while the soup was being consumed, and then Norbert de Varenne asked:"Have you read the Gauthier case?
33928Now- a- days, in political complications we must not ask:''Who is the woman?''
33928On returning home at his usual time, he said to his wife:"Well, have you secured all the people for your dinner?"
33928On the Thursday he said to Madeleine:"Are you not coming to the assault- at- arms at Rival''s?"
33928One evening Du Roy, who liked sweet dishes, said,"How is it we never have sweets at dinner?"
33928One evening she said to him:"Would you believe that I have never been to the Folies- Bergère?
33928One evening, Madeleine, looking him straight in the eyes said:"You have not yet announced our intentions to Madame de Marelle?"
33928Ought I to have admitted that-- I, a married man, to you, a young girl?
33928Perhaps the lady has bitten your tongue off?"
33928Saint- Potin led away his new colleague, and when they were in the passage, he said to him:"Have you seen the cashier?"
33928Shall I engage him on the same terms?"
33928Shall I speak to the manager about it?"
33928She added, calmly:"What has become of you?
33928She asked, quivering:"And where shall we go to?"
33928She asked, without understanding:"What?
33928She asked:"What is to be done?"
33928She began to laugh an angry laugh, and said:"So you are dumb, then?
33928She blushed suddenly, as though a rosy veil had been cast over her white skin, and said:"Why should he have left us anything?
33928She ceased talking, and Duroy asked:"Is that all?"
33928She declared:"I have made up my mind; where shall I rejoin you?"
33928She did not answer at once, but after a brief period of reflection, said:"Shall we go round there by and by?"
33928She did not understand, and said:"What do you mean?
33928She exclaimed, as soon as she saw him:"Do you know that Laroche- Mathieu is Minister for Foreign Affairs?"
33928She exclaimed, standing before him, furious and indignant:"You are going to marry Susan Walter?
33928She grew pale, felt herself tremble, and stammered out:"What is the matter?
33928She had recovered her assurance, and observed:"Why to- day, then?"
33928She had seized him round the neck, and with her lips close to his, said:"But what have I done to you?
33928She hesitated a moment, and then asked:"May I speak plainly?"
33928She inquired insolently:"Do you often have such jobs as these, sir?"
33928She inquired, smiling:"What have you against him?"
33928She looked at him disconsolately, saying,"Oh, George, ca n''t I even kiss you?"
33928She murmured, livid:"I-- I lured him?"
33928She raised her head in order to speak to him, and said, with her mouth full:"Do you know, darling, I dreamt of you?
33928She refused, but he persisted, saying:"Why will not you permit me?
33928She repeated:"When will you run away with me?"
33928She repeated:"Will you take me to the Reine Blanche?
33928She replied with perfect ease:"Quite well; and you, Pretty- boy?"
33928She replied, in panting tones:"Ought I to have told you that?
33928She replied, with provoking archness:"Are we going to Rouen to talk about him?"
33928She said:"Where is Madame Walter, I should like to wish her good- bye?"
33928She said:"Would you like a glass of champagne?
33928She sat down again docilely between his knees, and asked,"Will you come and dine with us to- morrow?
33928She scanned him closely with her bright eyes, saying:"And did it not cause her any emotion?"
33928She seemed surprised as she said:"Why so?"
33928She stammered:"Have you seen Susan?"
33928She stopped short, and looking into his eyes to read the truth in them, said:"You say?"
33928She took the matter pleasantly, saying:"A serious declaration?"
33928She turned round somewhat, leaving off looking into the water, and said:"Come, what is the matter with you?"
33928She undressed rapidly, and slipped into bed beside him, when he resumed:"Were there any relations present at his death- bed?"
33928She was a little late, because her husband had come home for a week, and said,"Can you come and dine with us to- morrow?
33928She was amazed, saying:"What do you really mean?"
33928She was slightly astonished, saying:"You?"
33928She was struck and hurt by it, and asked:"What is the matter with you?
33928She whispered:"I will lend you some; will you let me?"
33928She would ask,"Whose mouth is this?"
33928Since she had deceived the other, how could he have confidence in her himself?
33928Since she had wishes which he could not for the moment gratify himself, was it not natural that she should pay for them rather than go without them?
33928So it was to show off in this way that you came here, eh?"
33928So you do n''t want to marry Monsieur de Cazolles?"
33928So you fancy I am going to ask the Chinese and the Hindoo what they think of England?
33928So you think I am going to do your work, and that all you have to do is to call on the cashier at the end of the month to draw your screw?
33928Sometimes she asked Duroy, with a shudder:"If I were insulted in these places, what would you do?"
33928Suddenly he exclaimed:"Why do n''t you try journalism?"
33928Suddenly she asked:"What do you think of my friend, Madame de Marelle?"
33928Suppose he was going to fail?
33928Suppose she had forbidden them to admit him?
33928Tell me you have forgiven me?"
33928The brunette said:"Have you found your tongue again?"
33928The commissary addressed himself to Madeleine:"Do you admit, madame, that this gentleman is your lover?"
33928The commissary again asked:"Who are you?"
33928The commissary asked:"Why not?"
33928The commissary continued:"You will not answer, eh?
33928The commissary drew back, stupefied, and stammered:"Really, sir, will you tell me who you are?"
33928The commissary turned towards him, saying:"Now, sir, will you tell me who you are?"
33928The commissary went on:"What are you doing here?
33928The father merely said:"Shall I see you again soon?"
33928The invalid raised his head, and Duroy said,"Well, how do you feel?
33928The journalist asked:"Have you a good box?"
33928The man took three francs from his waistcoat pocket and said:"Do you want any more, sir?"
33928The manager glanced sharply at the young fellow over the glasses of his spectacles, and said:"Have you brought my article?
33928The mother rose, and, turning to George, said:"Then I may reckon upon you for next Thursday, two o''clock?"
33928The old fellow took his son by the arm, and keeping him a little in the rear of the others, asked with interest:"Well, how goes business, lad?"
33928The old poet murmured:"Do you think so?"
33928The old woman recovered herself first, and stammered, without advancing a step:"Is''t thou, boy?"
33928The other thought he was joking, and said:"Upset what?"
33928The priest repeated,"You have given way to guilty pleasures-- of what kind, my son?"
33928The promenader turned round and looked at him, and then said:"What is it, sir?"
33928The same servant opened the door, and with the familiarity of servants of the middle- class, asked:"Are you quite well, sir?"
33928The voice repeated:"Who are you?"
33928The voice went on:"What do you want?"
33928The young wife, who had divined something of what was passing through her husband''s mind, said, in her soft voice:"What are you thinking of, dear?
33928Then having put back the one he had been using in its usual place, he repeated:"Where does this gem hang out?"
33928Then he added:"Well, how goes it?"
33928Then he added:"What do you think of doing?"
33928Then she made an effort, a strong effort, to be proud and dignified, and asked, in the quivering tone of a woman about to burst into sobs:"Who is it?"
33928Then she said, as she kissed the ends of his moustache:"You do n''t know what a vexation has happened to me, darling?
33928Then turning to his friend, Forestier added:"Have you brought the continuation of the Algerian article?
33928Then what is there to do?
33928Then, finding his embrace cold, looked at him, and said:"What is the matter with you?"
33928Then, when they had drunk them, the journalist said:"Will you stroll about a bit for an hour?"
33928Then, with fiery eye and swelling bosom, she screeched out:"So that''s it, is it?
33928They reached the boulevard, and the reporter observed:"Will you have a drink?"
33928They really look like dew- drops, do they not?"
33928They went in, and he asked:"What would you prefer-- a necklace, a bracelet, or a pair of earrings?"
33928Walter raised his head and asked:''What news?''
33928Walter, amazed, pushed his spectacles right back on his forehead, and said:"You are not joking?"
33928Was a rascal less of a rascal after going out?
33928Was he afraid?
33928Was he going to be afraid?
33928Was it a confession?
33928Was she aware of it?
33928We are friends and allies, are we not?
33928Were you arrested by an_ agent des moeurs_?"
33928What am I to do?
33928What are we, after all?"
33928What are you doing with Pretty- boy?"
33928What can we believe in?
33928What can we cling to?
33928What could I do?
33928What could be meant to be drunk out of that?
33928What could be simpler?"
33928What could she have done else?
33928What did a duel prove?
33928What did an honest man, who had been insulted, gain by risking his life against a scoundrel?
33928What did she say?
33928What did they say then?
33928What did they take him for?
33928What did you come here for?"
33928What do you mean?"
33928What do you think?"
33928What do you want of me?"
33928What does it matter to you whether I die a day sooner or a day later, since I am done for?"
33928What does it matter?
33928What fanciful being arranged the union of that old man and this madcap?
33928What had she fancied them to be-- she, who did not usually dream?
33928What has become of him, I have not seen him for a week?"
33928What have I done to you?
33928What have I done to you?"
33928What have you been up to?"
33928What have you to say for yourself?"
33928What is it you want now?"
33928What is it?"
33928What is the matter with you?"
33928What is the meaning of this?"
33928What is to be done?"
33928What is your father''s Christian name?"
33928What made the inspector marry this giddy girl?
33928What man?
33928What o''clock could it be?
33928What ought he to do?
33928What reply would the other man make?
33928What shape would it take?
33928What should he do?
33928What should he say?
33928What took place then?
33928What was his age, his height, his appearance?
33928What was the difference between one and the other?
33928What was the matter with him, then?
33928What were you to him?"
33928What will become of me?"
33928What would he do then up to eleven o''clock?
33928What would it do?
33928What would she do now?
33928What would you have?
33928What would you like done?"
33928What would you, I love the profession?"
33928What would you?
33928When Madame Forestier asked:"Have you told Madame de Marelle?"
33928When he had finished, she asked:"How do you know this?"
33928When he reached home he heard ladies''voices in the drawing- room, and asked,"Who is there?"
33928When he saw the tears come he took his hat from the corner of the mantelpiece, saying:"Oh, you are going to cry, are you?
33928When she was in the carriage he murmured:"Tuesday at the same time?"
33928When they returned to the drawing- room, Duroy again approached Madame de Marelle, and looking her in the eyes, said:"Shall I see you home to- night?"
33928When will you run away with me?"
33928Whence came they?
33928Whence came this whispering?
33928Where are we going to?"
33928Where had she met all these people?
33928Where shall we go?"
33928Where the deuce do they get the money from?"
33928Whither could she go?
33928Who are these men?
33928Who is he?"
33928Who kept them on?
33928Who knows?
33928Who was he?
33928Who was he?
33928Who was she?
33928Who was this lady who was smiling at him?
33928Who was this man?
33928Who?"
33928Whom do you think of for the other second?"
33928Whom would she marry?
33928Why did his heart beat wildly at each well- known sound in the room?
33928Why did you not come to dinner with us?
33928Why do you go on in this way?
33928Why do you refuse to come to dinner, even once a week, with me?
33928Why grieve when he had still so many years before him?
33928Why had he not chosen swords?
33928Why should he have done so?
33928Why should not I?"
33928Why should not such secret, hidden affection have placed my name at the tip of his pen when he thought of expressing his last wishes?
33928Why this brutal attack?
33928Why?
33928Why?
33928Why?"
33928Why?"
33928Will that suit you?"
33928Will you allow me some day to open my heart to tell you all this?"
33928Will you do this?"
33928Will you have the kindness to quietly let our friends know that I will smack the face of the first that starts the joke again?
33928Will you invite Rival and Norbert de Varenne?
33928Will you please step up to his room, sir?"
33928Will you promise me this much?"
33928Will you take me there?"
33928With empty pockets and hot blood, he kindled at the contact of the prowlers who murmur at street corners:"Will you come home with me, dear?"
33928Would n''t the old fellow be staggered if he could see me this evening in the house I am going to?
33928Would you like it?"
33928Yes, what would happen?
33928Yes, why should he not attempt this conquest himself?
33928You are not offended?"
33928You cuckolded him, eh?
33928You know the place?"
33928You quite understand, eh?"
33928You understand the matter?
33928You understand, too, how afraid they have been of everyone, of the slightest indiscretion?"
33928You were not at all astonished at that, and yet he did not bring you any, did he?
33928You will do so this week, will you not?"
33928You will turn me out of here-- you-- you?"
33928You wo n''t act like that, George?"
33928and turning to Madeleine, added:"You will allow me to call him Pretty- boy still?"
33928and what does that mean?"
33928and where does he live?"
33928but''What is the business?''"
33928done for?"
33928how do you receive me?
33928is n''t that worthy of Balzac?"
33928is that the youngster?"
33928it is you, Monsieur Duroy?
33928suppose he fainted?
33928the rooms are not let, then?"
33928what about?"
33928what do you say, what do you say, what do you say?"
33928yes, it was very nice now, was it not?
33928you have got on quickly?"
