  3        1|          There’s Bordenave,” said Fauchery as he came down the stairs.
  4        1|              Wait a bit,” replied Fauchery. “I certainly must make
  5        1|           it my brothel!”~At this Fauchery laughed approvingly, while
  6        1|          man convinced.~Meanwhile Fauchery, with extreme calmness,

 11        1|      Count Xavier de Vandeuvres,” Fauchery whispered in his companion’
 12        1|        through the crowd, pulling Fauchery with him, so as not to miss
 13        1|           the stair.~In the house Fauchery and La Faloise, in front
 14        1|          cherub might have owned. Fauchery smiled when he looked at
 15        1|           curls.~“It’s Gaga,” was Fauchery’s simple reply, and as this
 16        1|           played over every face. Fauchery, whom his cousin was questioning,
 17        1|       chamberlain to the empress. Fauchery, who had caught up his opera
 18        1|             There’s a man there.”~Fauchery decided to level his opera
 19        1|          put that on,” he said to Fauchery, loud enough to be heard
 20        1|           sturdy shoulders, while Fauchery, out of the corners of his

 27        1|            replied Daguenet.~Then Fauchery, to put him out of countenance:~“
 28        1|       that man’s name?” he asked.~Fauchery failed to observe him.~“
 29        1|           ll present me,” replied Fauchery; “we’ll go down afterward.”~
 30        1|           as of milk turned sour.~Fauchery glanced along, scrutinizing
 31        1|        Jove, you’re right!” cried Fauchery. “I was saying that I had
 32        1|           But on hearing the name Fauchery the countess raised her
 33        1|          The emperor desires it.”~Fauchery gaily recounted how one

 36        1|          knows them all,” replied Fauchery quietly. “What d’you want
 37        1|   somewhat cleared of people, and Fauchery was just about to go downstairs
 38        1|           in front of the theater Fauchery and La Faloise lit cigarettes.
 39        1|          for the time of year. As Fauchery and La Faloise were passing
 40        1|          there’s Satin,” murmured Fauchery when his eye lit upon her.~
 41        1|        Once more in their places, Fauchery and La Faloise noticed a
 42        1|        him at the Muffats’. As to Fauchery, he was under the impression
 43        1|   devourer of men.~“By God,” said Fauchery quite simply to La Faloise.~
 44        1|   feminine mouth. In front of him Fauchery saw the truant schoolboy
 45        1|         heaps of outdoor raiment. Fauchery and La Faloise had hurried
 46        1|         was waiting for Clarisse; Fauchery had promised to catch up
 47        1|    peeping out, had obtained from Fauchery the formal promise of an
 48        2|       epithet. It was a notice by Fauchery, written just after the
 49        2|           a nice fellow, was that Fauchery, and she would repay him
 50        3|       Falois made his appearance. Fauchery, who followed in his wake,
 51        3|        desire to be confidential, Fauchery buttonholed him and said
 52        3|          de Bismarck’s favor. But Fauchery detained him.~“You never
 53        3|     interchanged, and he gazed at Fauchery in hopes of an explanation
 54        3|           in this old town house. Fauchery scrutinized her and yet
 55        3|          it was to want to come!”~Fauchery questioned him abruptly.~“
 56        3|      nobody talks.”~Then although Fauchery did not take the trouble
 57        3|       like that when he married.”~Fauchery chuckled as he looked at
 58        3|          a phiz for it!” murmured Fauchery. “A pretty present he made
 59        3|           the question.~“Monsieur Fauchery, have you not published
 60        3|          despite his lofty piety! Fauchery asked if he should have
 61        3|       kick the bucket here,” said Fauchery to his cousin when he had
 62        3|        bully!”~“Indeed!” muttered Fauchery with some astonishment.~“
 63        3|         it, eh?”~“Eh, what?” said Fauchery, pretending not to understand
 64        3|          eh? With which of them?”~Fauchery motioned to him that they
 65        3|         amiable and more refined. Fauchery, at sight of that respectable
 66        3|        All in good time,” replied Fauchery.~But he was no longer in
 67        3|       bored. He was describing to Fauchery an escapade of that little
 68        3|     behind the ladies’ armchairs. Fauchery looked at her as she sat
 69        3|          in strange contrast. And Fauchery, having sketched out his
 70        3|       sounded a note which struck Fauchery strangely, the note of delicate
 71        3|        seemed to wake from sleep. Fauchery began smiling, as though
 72        3|          him, and he had rejoined Fauchery.~“My dear fellow, have you
 73        3|       middle of the drawing room. Fauchery, afar off, amused himself
 74        3|          go to Laure’s?” murmured Fauchery with a chuckle. “You venture
 75        3|     murmured Vandeuvres, bringing Fauchery back into the middle of
 76        3|        the embrasure of a window. Fauchery was left to himself and
 77        3|      easily have got me invited.”~Fauchery was at length about to state
 78        3|          he found means to inform Fauchery in a low whisper that they
 79        3|          her too.~In the meantime Fauchery decided that the moment
 80        3|          side. When she drew near Fauchery, who was chatting with her
 81        3|         to the arguments urged by Fauchery, who spoke of a dinner where
 82        3|          room, and Vandeuvres and Fauchery could not continue pressing
 83        3|        had exchanged glances with Fauchery. They both happened to be
 84        3|         by its walls. It was then Fauchery spoke of departure. Yet
 85        3|         could have her,” declared Fauchery.~Vandeuvres stripped her
 86        3|          thighs?”~He stopped, for Fauchery touched him briskly on the
 87        3|   Monsieur de Bismarck!” muttered Fauchery. “This time I make my escape
 88        3|          the question in hand and Fauchery had invited him in his turn,
 89        3|      ought to set a good example. Fauchery smiled and shook hands with
 90        3|       left.” Yet before going out Fauchery gave a final glance. Vandeuvres
 91        3|            It was the last phrase Fauchery was able to catch. He closed
 92        4|         told them laughingly that Fauchery was engaged in a dispute
 93        4|  Nevertheless, from the moment of Fauchery’s arrival she appeared preoccupied,
 94        4|         up against Nana, and when Fauchery had left her he said to
 95        4|             And Bordenave?” asked Fauchery.~“Oh, you may imagine how
 96        4|        between Lucy and Clarisse; Fauchery between Rose Mignon and
 97        4|         for some minutes Rose and Fauchery, who were talking very near
 98        4|         was put out somewhat when Fauchery assured her that Victor
 99        4|        exceedingly amorous toward Fauchery. This was the explanation
100        4|           it. She doesn’t know my Fauchery: a dirty gent he is, too,
101        4|   situations.~“Ought not Monsieur Fauchery to come and lunch with us
102        4|           come tomorrow, Monsieur Fauchery.”~Lucy Stewart heard this
103        4|           for him! She would have Fauchery! She had been getting enamored
104        4|       Then signing imperiously to Fauchery:~“I’ve got your slippers
105        4|           get her to believe that Fauchery had not put the Count Muffat
106        4|          A regular snake was that Fauchery, an envious sort, a fellow
107        4|          seen any of them before. Fauchery, Labordette, Daguenet and
108        4|         the ball at the Ministry. Fauchery jestingly inquired whether
109        4|      chatting in a low voice with Fauchery and waiting for Mignon,
110        4|        invitation for tomorrow to Fauchery. Lucy thereupon refused
111        5|     shaking hands with Mignon and Fauchery, who now came into the room.~
112        5|      house this evening?” queried Fauchery.~“Oh, a splendid one!” replied
113        5|      continued Fontan, addressing Fauchery. “Only why do you say that
114        5|         the thought that this man Fauchery brought nothing but a certain
115        5|       outburst of tenderness, and Fauchery, who was a frail, small

119        5|         in the greenroom now save Fauchery and himself. The journalist
120        5|         this short–lived respite, Fauchery stretched his feet out languidly
121        5|         his eye lit on Mignon and Fauchery he called them; he wanted
122        5|           who had kept his eye on Fauchery, seized this opportunity
123        5| sceneshifters’ exaggerated mirth, Fauchery grew white. His lips trembled,
124        5|          his jokes and smothering Fauchery with caresses. He had at
125        5|  spectators it was impossible for Fauchery to pocket such a blow with
126        5|           him. When he recognized Fauchery and Mignon in the men on

129        5|          home to sleep.~Just then Fauchery, who had been prowling about
130        5|        listening to Nana’s songs.~Fauchery had already preceded him
131        5|          had just had a bath. But Fauchery began calling the count,
132        5|            Do come here,” shouted Fauchery, who had vanished some moments
133        5|     concern them.~“Do come here,” Fauchery repeated with the good–humored

135        5|           her last scene. Then as Fauchery blocked up the doorway,
136        5|            It’s for that nuisance Fauchery!”~And with that she darted
137        5|         head in token of refusal. Fauchery followed them, laughing.
138        5|         all the same,” he said to Fauchery without entering on further

140        6|          too big for the company. Fauchery and Daguenet had been driven

144        6|      planning various excursions. Fauchery was growing increasingly

147        6|        against excessive boredom. Fauchery had taken advantage of the
148        6|       orders. Toward Daguenet and Fauchery Mme Hugon behaved unjustly
149        6| respectful attentions to Estelle. Fauchery also stayed with the Muffat
150        6|         broad daylight.~Meanwhile Fauchery had become the Countess

158        6|          behaved unexceptionably. Fauchery and Daguenet looked icy

169        7|          had found a weak spot in Fauchery. And with that she relapsed
170        7|          the story about you that Fauchery’s circulating. There’s a
171        7|        wife, for she’s at it with Fauchery. Yes, it’s quite correct;
172        7|         he remembered going up to Fauchery’s rooms to thank him for
173        7|        ruin. And he reconstructed Fauchery’s article on the poisoned
174        8|        that good–for–nothing of a Fauchery. And that Mignon, who goes
175        8|           busy mounting a play of Fauchery’s containing a splendid

179        9|           with an air of fatigue. Fauchery was nervous and kept shifting
180        9|           for her with Bordenave. Fauchery glanced in her direction
181        9|     outlined. As to Bordenave and Fauchery, they were already drowned
182        9|         dragging monotonously on, Fauchery suddenly jumped from his

184        9|            That’s the kiss,” said Fauchery triumphantly. “Once more;
185        9|           sort of progress. Twice Fauchery had to repeat his explanation,
186        9|           he announced quietly to Fauchery.~“What d’you mean, idiotic?”
187        9|       never be finished! And when Fauchery, without, indeed, being

191        9|     exaggerated politeness, while Fauchery pretended to be entirely

195        9|           voluntarily ignorant of Fauchery’s assiduous attentions to
196        9|        the man.~“Well, what then? Fauchery isn’t the devil!” Nana repeated,
197        9|          the verge of utterance:~“Fauchery can refuse you nothing.”~
198        9|            owing to an attempt on Fauchery’s part to cut short one

200        9|    certainly deserve to have it.”~Fauchery’s silence seemed to give

207        9|        yes, it would be capital.”~Fauchery turned toward him with a

209        9|           to convince the others. Fauchery gazed at him in a state
