GERFAUT

By Charles de Bernard

Antipathy for her husband bordering
upon aversion
Attractions that difficulties give to
pleasure
Attractive abyss of drunkenness
Consented to become a wife so as not to
remain a maiden
Despotic tone which a woman assumes
when sure of her empire
Evident that the man was above his
costume; a rare thing!
I believed it all; one is so happy to
believe!
It is a terrible step for a woman to
take, from No to Yes
Lady who requires urging, although she
is dying to sing
Let them laugh that win!
Let ultra-modesty destroy poetry
Love is a fire whose heat dies out for
want of fuel
Mania for fearing that she may be
compromised
Material in you to make one of Cooper's
redskins
Misfortunes never come single
No woman is unattainable, except when
she loves another
Obstinacy of drunkenness
Recourse to concessions is often as
fatal to women as to kings
Regards his happiness as a proof of
superiority
She said yes, so as not to say no
These are things that one admits only
to himself
Those whom they most amuse are those
who are best worth amusing
Topics that occupy people who meet for
the first time
Trying to conceal by a smile (a blush)
When one speaks of the devil he appears
Wiped his nose behind his hat, like a
well-bred orator
You are playing 'who loses wins!'
