 18        1|        again insisted. “There’s a man there.”~Fauchery decided

 20        1|          especially that of a fat man which was as round as the

 42        2|        suddenly upon a very young man. He was sitting on the top
 43        2|         even now!” The very young man had jumped down at sight
 44        2|         the discreet gesture of a man who is offering a lady a
 45        3|       center of the room, a stout man, a chief clerk at the Ministry

 62        3|      Bismarck was perhaps a witty man. Only, if you go as far
 63        3|          at the supper himself. A man might go anywhere; no one

 89        5|        are vain?”~“Yes, my little man, why d’you say that?” shouted
 90        5|          at the thought that this man Fauchery brought nothing

106        5|     Clarisse to go and see if the man were there. Clarisse was

120        6|          Never yet had she seen a man in such a state. She grew
121        6|         in the society of a young man whose noisy humor seemed
122        6|          good nature, as became a man of no account, nor did he

133        7|          tall, good–looking, fair man with well–fitting gloves,
134        7|         the first floor, and as a man who is comforted and happy,

137        7|        that,” whispered the young man, pointing to the door of

139        7|         make a noise if the other man’s still with me.”~“But where
140        7|         submissively, as became a man no longer afraid of being

142        7|       Muffat gazed and gazed as a man possessed, till at last,
143        7|        present instance where the man was a cuckold. The mere
144        7|          have been stupid! When a man doesn’t know—oh, it is so
145        7|        dearie, women don’t like a man to be foolish. They don’
146        7|           sooner or later, when a man’s been an ignoramus, they
147        7|     opposite her. Just fancy that man—Damn it, how hot this fire
148        7|        behalf? Now that the other man had come she ought to get
149        7|       riled about it. If I were a man I shouldn’t care a rush
150        7|         Zoe to usher in the other man, who was waiting in the
151        7|          and passing it with that man. He now began recalling

153        7|       wife could not be with that man. It was monstrous and impossible.
154        7|         himself, shivering like a man in rags, as he did so. Then
155        7|         with the icy shudder of a man who does not know where
156        7|           in M. Venot’s arms? The man could do nothing.~And then
157        7|        was deserting her. Was the man going crazy?~“Come, be off!”
158        7|           breath, and as became a man who had rushed across Paris
159        7|         incontinence. It was this man Fontan then whom Nana had
160        8|         cattle, and the idea of a man bothering himself about
161        8|       kiss in return, as became a man who is having all the enjoyment
162        8|       angrily, as became a pretty man, declared that they were
163        8|        her. Ain’t it sly to get a man to come to her when I’ve
164        8|         making him one with every man she meets—yes, even with
165        8|         ye see?—for I’d smash the man who laid a finger on me!”~
166        8|          In the morning, when the man picked up overnight had
167        8|         bunch of radishes a young man, who might have been a shop–
168        8|           at the sight of a young man with short curly hair and
169        8|       caprice. But when the young man began to laugh his bosom
170        8|         not to be ruined. To each man his own.”~And he pocketed
171        8|       taken by force, as became a man whose forgiveness is worth
172        8|         an ugly mug! Besides, the man knocked her about too!~“
173        8|      lofty superiority becoming a man who is loved for his own
174        8|         varnish would crack off a man, and the brute beast would

178        8|          turning white whenever a man drew nigh, she fetched an
179        8|       herself. No blackguard of a man would ever have sacrificed
180        9|      Cossard, a little humpbacked man perched on a straw–bottomed
181        9|        three hundred francs. That man Fontan was always picking
182        9|        his shoulders, as became a man from whom nothing could
183        9|          seem very ridicubus in a man of his position; but Labordette
184        9|         so great that he seemed a man frozen to ice. He addressed
185        9|         smile, “you’re a sensible man! Now that we’ve made our
186        9|          me finish! There’s not a man, you understand, able to

188        9|           angry repugnance to the man.~“Well, what then? Fauchery
189        9|        this explanation. Let each man fight for his own hand,
190        9|           Monsieur le Comte. Each man’s vainer than his neighbor,
191        9|         more.~Thereupon the young man ran off, delighted to escape
192        9|      interest at stake, the young man thought to avoid aquiescence
193        9|        his eyes on him. The young man read menaces in that darkling

197       10|           to mention to the other man. From Vandeuvres she would

201       10|          full of the image of the man who was to be turned out
202       10|          behaved like a well–bred man at once. So don’t be anxious
203       10|         uproariously, as became a man who was plunging into a
204       10|           table he took the young man on one side and asked news
