212        7|           Now then, be off! I can’t keep you here. But perhaps
213        7|         here. But perhaps you won’t presume to stay at such
214        7|   rebellion.~“It’s sickening! Don’t you understand I’m jolly
215        7|        there! So be off or I shan’t answer for the consequences.
216        7|          once, twice, thrice! Won’t you go? Very well! Look
217        7|        with the play actor couldn’t last; the madness must be

220        8|            Devil take it! Why don’t you eat? You’ve got plenty
221        8|          about the Varietes. Wasn’t that cad of a Bordenave
222        8|         suffering that you couldn’t come within six yards of
223        8|          theatrical people wouldn’t shed many tears over. Nana
224        8|          ugly finish if he couldn’t hit on some new commercial

227        8|        Steiner away from her. Ain’t it sly to get a man to come
228        8|          doors?”~“M. Mignon doesn’t tell that tale,” said the
229        8|     savage tones. “You know I don’t like being bored. Let’s
230        8|        brisk jump upward.~“It isn’t my fault if there are crumbs

236        8|           oh no, I’m sure it wasn’t in a pretty place.”~And
237        8|        softly. After all, it didn’t matter to her! Yet seeing
238        8|       their stew’s very good, ain’t it?” said Satin.~Nana nodded
239        8|          s easily made! You haven’t allowed for the furniture;
240        8|         likewise children who don’t belong to me. You were pleased
241        8|           it myself because I don’t like women’s fancies. Now
242        8|          women’s fancies. Now don’t go moaning any more; it

247        8|        the thing’s obvious! I don’t speak on my own account,
248        8|         manners? For though I don’t want to flatter myself,
249        8|         bred in our family, weren’t we now?”~Nana used never
250        8|        yesterday evening. She can’t understand it any more than
251        8|       respect. In fact, there isn’t a word to be said for him.
252        8|         be said for him. I wouldn’t have his portrait in my
253        8|         answer that when one didn’t like a thing there was no
254        8|    herself up at once.~“No, I don’t want to.”~Thereupon he waxed
255        8|     coarse and rejoined:~“Why don’t you want to, eh? Why, everybody
256        8|         my rooms.”~“Because I don’t.”~In her opinion that explained
257        8|             he cried. “Only I don’t side with you, my dear.
258        8|         they’re dirty brutes. Don’t think any more about ‘em.
259        8|           love you very much. Don’t cry, and oblige your own
260        8|           pricks on them: you don’t work. Now then, dress!”~“

264        9|    getting rosy soon! A piece can’t be put on nowadays without
265        9|           I want to be off; I don’t want to get seedy.”~“Silence,
266        9|            No, it beats me; I can’t understand it,” said Fontan
267        9|        Good God! Why the hell can’t you shut up? We’ve lost
268        9|          done! You, Fontan, mustn’t move. You, Rose, must make
269        9|         much bitterness. “I haven’t got more than two hundred
270        9|         favor of being quiet, won’t you?”~He knew what to rely
271        9|           lady so chaste? It wasn’t natural! With that he sneered
272        9|           Barillot! Eh? What? Isn’t Bosc there? Is he bloody
273        9|      bounce matters through.~“Don’t do it in the dignified way!
274        9|        You wanted to see me, didn’t you? But you didn’t intend
275        9|          didn’t you? But you didn’t intend us to stand looking
276        9|          if we meet again we shan’t, at any rate look like a
277        9|            that’s about it. I don’t want to.”~He looked ardently
278        9|           simple advice:~“Ah, don’t be a baby!”~But he was one
279        9|         he would. “All this doesn’t help you a bit, seeing that
280        9|          m a good sort, and I don’t mind giving in to you for
281        9|           enough of it now, haven’t I? So let me get up. You’
282        9|         no, no!” she said. “I don’t want to!”~With that he gathered
283        9|         money. Well, and if I don’t want to consent—what then?
284        9|          consent—what then? I don’t care a pin for your presents!
285        9|           your palaces if one isn’t in love. Ah, as to money,

287        9|          she continued; “it doesn’t depend on you, and that’
288        9|           that! Besides, that isn’t the reason. The fact is
289        9|    looking like a duchess who don’t care a damn for the men.
290        9|      saying just now that it didn’t depend on me.”~She interrupted
291        9|        you want the part. Now don’t be such a silly! Bordenave
292        9|         making Rose angry. I didn’t mention the woman when you
293        9|           woman forever one doesn’t usually take up with the
294        9|         Mignon’s leavings! Oughtn’t you to have broken it off
295        9|          out a phrase.~“Oh, I don’t care a jot for Rose; I’ll
296        9|           what then? Fauchery isn’t the devil!” Nana repeated,
297        9|       solemnly promise you it won’t be like the first, for now
298        9|          woman. You give all, don’t you? Well then, I don’t
299        9|           t you? Well then, I don’t want anybody but you! Why,
300        9|         that! Just fancy, I haven’t two hundred lines, and they’
301        9|    influence over the boxes. “Don’t begin making a fuss. We’

303        9|        silence. At bottom he didn’t care a pin about it. That
304        9|         concerned that he shouldn’t act it at all!~“Fauchery!”

306        9|          Now whatever you do, don’t jump! It’s most serious.
307        9|           no! You’re joking, aren’t you? People would laugh
308        9|           s been assigned. We can’t take it away from Rose.”~“
309        9|            Do what you like—I don’t care a pin about it. Yes,
310        9|           pay you out! Things can’t go on like this; d’you understand?”
311        9|     atrocious after all. She wasn’t going to eat his play—not
312       10|          he explained, “Mamma won’t come to you while she can
313       10|            my fine fellow! It isn’t imitation, and it’ll teach
314       10|          brother, you know—”~“Don’t you fear,” she said with
315       10|          makes you anxious, doesn’t it, Monsieur Georges?”~“
316       10|           heard—that is, you didn’t cry?” he stammered out.~“
317       10|          bred man at once. So don’t be anxious any longer. It’
318       10|         discreet lover, and I don’t want to be advertised; I
319       10|           to be advertised; I don’t!”~He obtained his pardon
320       10|    pleased to remark that it wasn’t her place to do so, but
321       10|           to slap her; she couldn’t cut herself in two, however
322       10|       That’s a matter which doesn’t concern you, dear old pet.
323       10|           boy, if the thing doesn’t suit you it’s very simple:
324       10|           greater fun when I hadn’t a cent!” Nana repeated.~
325       10|            By Jove, yes, Dad hadn’t any sense! And then what
326       10|         and it’s a miracle I didn’t kick the bucket over it,
327       10|        What you’re telling us isn’t very cheerful.”~“Eh, what?
328       10|             I believe you; it isn’t cheerful! Somebody had to
329       10|           m the right sort; I don’t mince matters. Mamma was
330       10|         of it! There! If it doesn’t suit you—if you’re ashamed
331       10|         had enough of this, haven’t we? Leave the room, all
332       10|          room, all of you! We don’t want you any longer!”~This
333       10|          serious expression:~“Isn’t it, my friend?”~“Yes, certainly,”
334       10|       said Nana seriously. “I won’t have her tormented; you
335       10|      wishing to show her she wasn’t vexed, gave her a dress
336       10|        come off, my friend; I don’t want to prevent your daughter’
337       11|        bore of all is that we can’t argue about anything now
338       11|        much as you like; that won’t prevent me believing what
339       11|         our usual row, and I wasn’t the least bit reassured
340       11|        amused by the jest. “I don’t back myself then; no, by

346       11|        not to know them. She wasn’t there for business purposes:

361       11|       whispered. “Be careful: don’t madden Rose too much. You
362       11|           good laugh!”~“No, I don’t wish it,” Mignon briskly
363       11|       anger overpowered him.~“Won’t you deuced well let me be,
364       11|       taken the horse. Who, I don’t know. I should prefer leaving

370       11|        cried so, and today I didn’t think I should be able to

372       11|           were, don’t you? I didn’t desire that kind of thing
