 37        3|          You didn’t know about it. Oh, I had lots of bother to
 38        3|            ask Steiner about it?”~“Oh, when Steiner’s got hold
 39        3|          was hissed last Sunday?”~“Oh, frightfully, madame,” he

 61        4|            to get on in the world. Oh, a nice lot they are!”~Vandeuvres
 62        4|          just been leveled at him. Oh, it was all silly and slow,
 63        4|            to do her an ugly turn. Oh yes, she could see it all
 64        4|         that occurred to her. Yes, oh yes, SHE wasn’t a ninny—
 65        4|            the bottom of my heart! Oh, it would be too nice if

 74        5|          The prince has arrived.”~“Oh!” cried the rest with the
 75        5|       evening?” queried Fauchery.~“Oh, a splendid one!” replied
 76        5|             it must be your turn!”~Oh, all in good time! They
 77        5|          came in after her scene.~“Oh, Father Bosc HAS just scored!”
 78        5|            the end of the passage. Oh, that Nana! They were loading
 79        5|            grown suddenly serious. Oh, that Steiner! He had promised
 80        5|      uproar of some grand finale.~“Oh, the cows!” Bordenave suddeniy
 81        5|          his long arms and cried:~“Oh, take care! That mast just
 82        5|           him,” said she sharply. “Oh, what a mug!”~Horrified,
 83        5|        towel in air, before them.~“Oh, it IS silly to come in
 84        5|            played about her lips.~“Oh, don’t apologize,” cried
 85        5|          prince with a glance. Eh! Oh dear, yes! His Highness
 86        5|           May I give the knocks?”~“Oh, bother!” said Nana impatiently. “
 87        5|            gazing at the two men.~“Oh, don’t look at THEM!” Bordenave
 88        5|        asked what was the matter.~“Oh, nothing at all,” he murmured
 89        5|  recognized the count she smiled.~“Oh, you frightened me,” she
 90        5|        heard Satin screaming out:~“Oh, the dirty old thing! Just
 91        6|          my custom in the country. Oh, seeing you here makes me

 94        6|        name?” asked the countess.~“Oh, I wasn’t told,” murmured
 95        6|       replied with much vivacity:~“Oh, Mother, the gardener spoke

115        6|          no one would notice him.~“Oh, my God!” said the old lady
116        6|             he stammered at last.~“Oh, most surely she did! Why,
117        6|           lady of Napoleon’s time? Oh, SHE was a merry one! At
118        7|          when she noticed Muffat.~“Oh, it’s you!” she stammered.~
119        7|          the score of miserliness. Oh, how gladly she would have
120        7|       sleep with their eyes open.~“Oh, what a duck!” continued
121        7|           are you with in there?”~“Oh, a whole gang,” he said,
122        7|           about her trip in Egypt. Oh, it’s screaming! There’s
123        7|          her some pretty things!”~“Oh, it isn’t her trial trip,”
124        7|          poisoned though she was.~“Oh, you’re a fool!” she said
125        7|            When a man doesn’t know—oh, it is so comical! Good
126        7|        tell me something about it! Oh, do, do tell me!”~She overwhelmed

137        8|            angry with that clique. Oh, they were a regular cheap
138        8|           operation. And Daguenet? Oh, HE was getting on swimmingly.

155        8|            dear girl, my slippers! Oh, he’s the dirtiest old beast,
156        8|         flame came into her eyes.~“Oh, if I wanted to—” she muttered.~
157        8|     denunciation of the male sex.~“Oh, the pigs, the pigs! Look
158        8|         shall be better off there! Oh, how silly you are to get
159        8|          said, growing very pale.~“Oh, blast our bad luck! We’
160        8|     choking lump into her throat.~“Oh, my poor little one, my

165        9|       infusing a look of sadness.~“Oh, it’s impossible, little
166        9|           consent to be mine only, oh, then I should want you
167        9|   something worth more than money. Oh, if only someone were to
168        9|        gleam of hope in his eyes.~“Oh, you can’t give it me,”
169        9|           guess I’ve hit it, eh?”~“Oh, thoroughly,” he stammered
170        9|        with a despairing gesture:~“Oh, it’s impossible! You yourself
171        9|           comes by directly after. Oh, that’s where the shoe pinches,
172        9|         able to get out a phrase.~“Oh, I don’t care a jot for
173        9|           but not that, dear love! Oh, I beg you not to insist
174        9|           Lace? Diamonds?”~“Yes.”~“Oh, how good you are, my old
175        9|           dirty business or other! Oh, they’d be delighted if
176        9|             he grew angry at once.~Oh, very well, the moment the
177        9|          take it away from Rose.”~“Oh, if that’s all the trouble,”
178        9|         verge of being broken up.~“Oh, dear! No, no! Even if the
179        9|         nay, it would diminish it. Oh no, no! Glory before gain!
180        9|            Now she could but cry:~“Oh, come, you’re too base for

184       10|         asked in his child voice.~“Oh, I certainly love him!”
185       10|           she can send my brother. Oh, she’ll certainly send Philippe
186       10|          eh? No? Only ten minutes? Oh, we’ve got plenty of time.”~
187       10|           it’s all right, is it?”~“Oh, certainly it’s all right!
188       10|          age and the family honor! Oh yes, I understand those
189       10|            he’s going to return.”~“Oh, he’s going to return,”
190       10|    incessantly between her yawns:~“Oh, how the men bother me!”~
191       10|            Satin as a dirty swine. Oh, it would teach her to pick
192       10|   Vandeuvres and the young Hugons! Oh, if that had been true he

194       10|     baggage,” she resumed slowly. “Oh yes, the future father–in–
195       10|       though she had been tickled. Oh, that Mimi! It was impossible
196       10|           since it suits your game—oh, I’m agreeable: I’ll run
197       10|           her efforts to be free.~“Oh, I know,” she cried, excited
198       10|         your father came in drunk. Oh, so drunk!”~At this point
199       10|            living for us dear boy. Oh yes, you know, I’m the right
200       10|           when she munched apples! Oh, what bosh that stupid thing
201       10|          those proceedings still.~“Oh, those drunkards!” she said
