JACQUELINE, By Therese Bentzon (Mme. Blanc)
A familiarity which, had he known it,
was not flattering
A mother's geese are always swans
As we grow older we lay aside harsh
judgments and sharp words
Bathers, who exhibited themselves in
all degrees of ugliness
Blow which annihilates our supreme
illusion
Death is not that last sleep
Fool (there is no cure for that
infirmity)
Fred's verses were not good, but they
were full of dejection
Great interval between a dream and its
execution
Hang out the bush, but keep no tavern
His sleeplessness was not the insomnia
of genius
Importance in this world are as easily
swept away as the sand
Music—so often dangerous to married
happiness
Natural longing, that we all have,
to know the worst
Notion of her husband's having an
opinion of his own
Old women—at least thirty years old!
Pride supplies some sufferers with
necessary courage
Seemed to enjoy themselves, or made
believe they did
Seldom troubled himself to please any
one he did not care for
Small women ought not to grow stout
Sympathetic listening, never having
herself anything to say
The bandage love ties over the eyes
of men
The worst husband is always better
than none
This unending warfare we call love
Unwilling to leave him to the repose
he needed
Waste all that upon a thing that nobody
will ever look at
Women who are thirty-five should never
weep
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!'
