14 CXCIV    |           you brought me a copy of le Gaulois in which there were
15 CXCIV    |          the workmen, published in le Temps. How true it is! How
16 CXCV     |          every one is able to read le Petit Journal and le Figaro,
17 CXCV     |          read le Petit Journal and le Figaro, they won’t read

20 CXCVIII  |           sent it as an article to le Temps for my next fortnightly
21 CCI      |         the lead. Your articles in le Temps, which have had a
22 CCVII    |   production seemed too violent to le Nouvelliste de Rouen, which
23 CCVII    |        will appear on Wednesday in le Temps, then at Rouen, as

34 CCLX     |         Well, I have finished with le Sexe faible, which will
35 CCLX     |            play! It will be called le Candidat. My written plot
36 CCLXII   |          Carvalho content with the le Sexe faible, but he wants
37 CCLXII   |           answer. As I have in the le Sexe faible a rather ridiculous
38 CCLXII   |       wrong in keeping quiet about le Roi s’amuse. He often asserts
39 CCLXIV   |   impossible to change anything in le Sexe faible without distorting
40 CCLXIV   |           But he is asking to play le Candidat first, it is not
41 CCLXIV   |       short, if after l’Oncle Sam, le Candidat is finished, it
