"Well, Chamoureau, where do you expect to see your wonderful conquest again? has she given you an assignation?"
"She has done more, my dear fellow: she has given me her address, with permission to call on her—at her hôtel!"
"So she has a hôtel—furnished probably."
"And when he goes to ask for his charmer, the concierge will say: 'It's on such a floor, monsieur, such a number; the numbers are on the doors'—Ha! ha!"
"Laugh away! laugh all you please! 'He laughs best who laughs last!'"
"The moment you begin on proverbs, I haul down my flag. But where does your conquest live? Perhaps I know her house."
"Freluchon, ask me for my fortune, ask me for my life——"
"You wouldn't give 'em to me, I know; go on."
"I would give them to you rather than tell you the name and abode of my fascinating brunette!"
"Oho! is it as bad as that?"
