2108 I, I | so sad, an expression so pathetic, that the painter fancied
2109 I, IV | statues set up along the pathway around large green shrubs,
2110 I, II | rodomontades of the self-styled patriots of the League. And he painted
2111 II, III| her station.~She was lady patroness to numerous and very well

2151 II, I | bench in the sun. Yes, she perspires, the~beggar, and she smells
2152 I, I | seemed to take no part in the perturbation of her mind.~She repeated
2153 II, II | poetic ideas of a tender but pessimistic philosophy, which is a frequent
2154 I, II | when the Duchess said, “Ma petite,” one still heard in her

2168 I, I | before a table covered with picture-books.~Olivier Bertin, following
2169 II, II | tone in which this was said pierced the Countess’s heart like
2170 I, IV | dark hats and shoulders, piercing it in a thousand places,
2171 I, I | still quivering body the piercingly sweet remembrance of that
2172 II, I | solitude of an old cooing pigeon when you are~shedding such
2173 II, VI | thick packet of letters, piled one on top of another, and
2174 II, V | in which lay the mass of piled-up envelopes, on which his
2175 II, III| tones as he mixed the little piles of paste, so strongly did

2185 I, III| grief in voice and gesture, placing one hand on Guilleroy’s
2186 I, IV | full of dead victims of the plague, and the Shade of Dante

2203 I, IV | hat decorated with ostrich plumes, and wearing red cloth breeches,
2204 I, II | and the artistic worlds, pluming himself on his intimate

2215 I, I | portrait of the Princesse de Ponteve.”~“You know,” said the lady
2216 I, III| in a landau with a white poodle, the Countess, delicate
2217 II, II | in rubies if it is the poppy; in sapphires if it is the
2218 I, III| who was sailing out of port like a vessel, while her
2219 I, III| The Count approached the portable table, where was also an

2269 II, III| limited confidence in the priests, whom she regarded merely
2270 I, I | artificial.~“What is the Princess like?” she asked.~He was
2271 II, III| but when one grows thin on principle it is always at the expense
2272 II, III| upon her any particular principles of devotion, and she had

2278 II, VI | anything decisive as to the probable result of this accident,~
2279 I, I | was it? Was it love? He probed deep in his heart in order

2281 I, III| increased allowance, the legal proceedings instituted by the police
2282 I, I | demi-monde of the theater, prodigal of their favors with such
2283 I, III| of those days of facile production, when ideas seem to descend
2284 I, II | a multiplicity of cheap productions of all kinds and from all
2285 I, III| experienced, in these crises of productiveness, a strange and delicious

2287 II, IV | the landscape painter, professed a profound contempt for
2288 I, II | most princely houses, of professing their royalist sentiments,
2289 II, II | passionate attention, and professional skill which he displayed
2290 I, I | before, with the air of a professor giving a lecture; and she

2320 I, III| sensations and mysteries of psychology, Les Fleurs du Mal, Le Rouge
2321 I, III| re-read many times; other publications lay near it, some of them
2322 I, I | expressions, vulgar and puerile.~Assuredly, he must write—
2323 II, VI | suddenly thought of the puerility of poets who have invented
2324 I, I | toward the ceiling with every puff that Olivier Bertin, lying

2331 I, III| places where one finds or purchases the means of killing time.
2332 I, I | and that sometimes in the purest hearts desire arises like
2333 II, VI | toward the flames, leaving a purple train.~The Countess received
2334 I, I | toward the painter that she purposed to assume; she dreaded the
2335 I, I | nothing of that which he pursues, or can succeed only in
2336 II, VI | between the acts, for he was pursuing into the wings, his fixed
2337 II, I | warmed-over~vegetables, the purulent cheese, the fruits ripened
2338 I, I | turning so slowly, in order to push the larger one on toward
2339 II, II | he is, the dear fellow!”~Pushing back her chair, she jumped
