  2        1|             ever–moving crowd. Many men did not enter the theater

  6        1|          ugly; on the contrary, the men raised their opera glasses.
  7        1|            In the passage two young men, delicately curled and formally
  8        1|          all. Five or six groups of men, talking very loudly and

 11        1|           the sidewalk, a stream of men who had come down from the
 12        1|         changing position.~The four men were charmed and fell a–
 13        1|        Nobody laughed any more. The men strained forward with serious
 14        1|         bitter, as of a devourer of men.~“By God,” said Fauchery
 15        1|             little finger she ruled men’s flesh. Backs were arched
 16        1|          across their muscles; upon men’s shoulders appeared fugitive

 18        1|             along the entrance hall men formed a living hedge, while

 20        2|         duty to look alive, for the men only thought of having their
 21        2|         last night. Among all those men who had cheered her, to
 22        2|           roundly declared that the men all had the devil in their
 23        2|          grasp. She was meaning the men, of course. Then they both
 24        2|           of my life I got what the men in Paris had spent on flowers
 25        2|         studied politeness.~The two men bowed and seated themselves.

 28        2|             were coming, were they? Men were arriving in long clothes.
 29        2|          seeing that a whole mob of men were jabbing at the ivory
 30        2|             requisition and putting men pretty well everywhere,
 31        2|          yet over, and this pack of men had followed up her scent.~“
 32        2|          she was delivered from the men and felt happily conscious
 33        3|            wont.~Four or five young men formed another group near
 34        3|           But when one of the young men appeared to doubt the truth
 35        3|       appeared satisfied. The young men at the end of the room no

 37        3|             turn. One’s seen faster men than that, though, you bet.
 38        3|           that time required of the men at the Tuileries. Among

 41        3|            had gone no further; the men even ventured to give their

 43        3|         noticed it before. And both men continued this comparison
 44        3|       embarrassed silence, but both men encouraged one another and
 45        3|          bow to the countess. Other men followed them, and the same
 46        4|        himself. They were the young men he had pressed into her
 47        4|           of her friends. Among the men his measure was taken in
 48        4|         could not be organized, and men and women entered anyhow,
 49        4|            crowding groups of young men and of women, such as Simonne,
 50        4|           much joking about it. The men offered seats on their knees.
 51        4|           arrivals, a woman and two men, had just come in. Oh dear,
 52        4|          but she had never seen the men before.~“This gentleman,
 53        4|          aunt that in the matter of men one could not have done
 54        4|      scarcely any conversation. The men, not being mutually acquainted,
 55        4|       behaved as seriously as grown men, devoured Rose with their
 56        4|       always working to minister to men’s pleasures, especially
 57        4|         especially those very young men, whose grandmother she might

 61        4|           they could to stir up the men. Now there was such a din
 62        4|              A band of eleven young men had arrived and were laughing
 63        4|        Daguenet and the rest of the men had all come forward in
 64        4|       opened every few moments, and men in white gloves and official

 67        4|      Steiner save the band of young men. These had by this time
 68        5|             rapidly moving shadows— men in costume, women with shawls
 69        5|   fashionable, white–gloved society men. They occupied as many ancient
 70        5|           the grotto on Mount Etna. Men were busy planting masts
 71        5|          curtain at the end and the men clustering closely round
 72        5|             your way with all those men there!”~And she added further
 73        5|       equanimity. Whereupon the two men had desisted from their
 74        5|          Fauchery and Mignon in the men on the floor he gave vent
 75        5|             still gazing at the two men.~“Oh, don’t look at THEM!”
 76        5|             thuds caused by the two men. They had rolled down to
 77        5|      unpleasant odor. What a lot of men it must have held! Clarisse
 78        5|           catching sight of the two men, drew some curtains half
 79        5|           humored familiarity which men adopt among their fallen
 80        5|       Clarisse was disgusted by the men. She spoke in violent terms
 81        5|            outdoor coats. Groups of men and women were coming down
 82        5|        delighted to escape from the men who were waiting for them
 83        5|        along the boulevard with the men of their hearts. But Clarisse

 86        6|             meaning. Not one of the men had smiled.~“Certainly,”
 87        6|        seasons. But among all those men who were busy following
 88        6|            bid us welcome.”~The two men clasped hands. Muffat, with
 89        6|   instruction in a by–path. The two men had shaken hands and given
 90        6|           priesthood. The two young men had begun joking at this,
 91        6|             and definite. As to the men, they behaved unexceptionably.
 92        7|             golden–haired girls and men in dirty linen came out
 93        7|          out the cores, but the two men bowed their heads and patiently
 94        7|         forsooth, to be mistress of men of position! She had been
 95        7|             palaces and poisons the men within by merely settling
 96        7|          replied furiously. “I like men who give without being asked.
 97        7|             the tumbled bed the two men caught sight of Fontan.

 99        7|        allowed to pass off! The two men retired without uttering
100        8|           way she would prevent the men from coming dangling after

102        8|            good housewives for whom men had ceased to exist. Just
103        8|             served to impose on the men. Besides, for six months
104        8|      subject—the beastliness of the men. Nana was overpowering on
105        8|         people and merchants, while men walked hastily about, looking
106        8|           of elderly, grave–looking men, on whose arms she leaned.
107        8|          might have done. As to the men, they were not numerous.
108        8|             des Poissonniers, where men conquered her scruples for
109        8|         aunt, eh? Or you’re keeping men; that’s plain! Will you
110        8|           many others and such rich men, too, some of them even
111        8|           she was fifteen years old men used to hug her while her
112        8|             backward glances at the men who turned to look at them,
113        8|       strumpets, and their hunt for men grew more ferocious than
114        8|          and in the deepening night men were rapidly dropping off
115        8|       corners were sure to send the men mad. And so she watched
116        8|            that was a fake by which men lived on their mistresses!
117        8|             of revenge practiced by men able and willing to crush
118        8|            duty of the plainclothes men to consult, and of certain
119        8|              It’s the plain–clothes men!” whispered Satin. “Off
120        8|             while the plain–clothes men rapidly narrowed their circle.
121        8|             she had gone with other men in order to supply his wants
122        8|             be sure, Fontan, of all men, ought never to have done
123        8|            to let the plain–clothes men into her secrets, ended
124        8|            made by the plainclothes men. But that particular night
125        8|          off by three plain–clothes men, headed by a little oily–
126        9|            one ought to talk to the men!” Geraldine had scarce any
127        9|        Accordingly, as he knew what men were, he thought of nothing
128        9|               It’s strange how rich men fancy they can have everything
129        9|           don’t care a damn for the men. Did you notice it when
130        9|              She looked at the four men. Muffat hung his head; Fauchery
131       10|     appearance of an anteroom. Here men’s overcoats and hats were
132       10|       lesson for which she held all men responsible. Accordingly
133       10|             owns it. Respect’s what men need to feel! The quarter
134       10|           visitors! Yes, there were men here, but what d’you suppose
135       10|      suppose I was doing with those men? You only advertise a woman’
136       10|             bored to death. She had men for every minute of the
137       10|           or receive a whole mob of men at her own house. She would
138       10|             her yawns:~“Oh, how the men bother me!”~One afternoon
139       10|         arrival of the plainclothes men had interrupted in the Rue
140       10|           the bliss of poverty. The men were in evening dress, Nana
141       10|           fits always occurred when men were present: it was as
142       10|             Nana talked to the four men as charmingly as hostess
143       10|       threatened to be off if those men still went on teasing her
144       10|             cheek! Why, she led the men about like dogs, and great
145       11|             to confess to the young men the real reason for this
146       11|             the carriage. The young men thought her sally very amusing,
147       11|        coach, where a band of young men were making a great din.
148       11|              But as the three young men were darting off to propagandize,
149       11|             enough work of it. Some men let themselves be persuaded;
150       11|         queried Nana when the young men returned after a prolonged
151       11|        empress. Thereupon the young men jested and were sorry that
152       11|        glasses of champagne for the men who came to pay her their
153       11|            What a set those betting men are! When I’ve got the favorite
154       11|              And, oh, what a lot of men on the graveled sidewalks,
155       11|             was waiting for betting men, as though they had been
156       11| exclamations were bursting from the men who were pressing to her
157       11|          know I’m proud of it!”~The men clambered up on the landau,
158       11|         surging waste of beasts and men, a sea of heads swayed and
159       11|        women waved their sunshades; men leaped and spun round, vociferating
160       11|             the landau the crush of men increased. The band of Nana’
161       11|         from the enclosure, and the men who returned thence were
162       11|          festoons of gas lamps, and men in evening coats and women
163       11|            and a whole lot of other men. How polite, eh? Oh dear,
164       11|         said the aunt gravely “When men are obstinate about a thing,
165       12|          who held conversation with men would go to hell. Scraps
166       12|         followed by a band of young men. She was going into ecstasies
167       12|             them among the crowd of men who remained standing about.
168       12|           said something funny. The men chatted. Since the races
169       12|            For some seconds the two men looked at one another. It
170       13|          built over a gulf in which men—their worldly possessions,
171       13|           gone. Heaps upon heaps of men, barrowfuls of gold, failed
172       13|          joking sort of way got the men to give her all they had
173       13|          wish it! Oh, what a set of men!”~And she escaped. But he
174       13|           many from whom to choose; men in any quantity could be
175       13|        picked up in the street, and men a good deal smarter, too,
176       13|          did not actually throw the men at his head Count Muffat
177       13|             The bells did not ring; men lounged about everywhere
178       13|           to this vice, to keep the men off her. But all was spoiled
179       13|         eyes to the unknown herd of men that scampered so quickly
180       13|           would be laughing at you. Men do not fight for Nana; it
181       13|             of showing how cowardly men were. She called him her “
182       13|     essential smells of fair–haired men and dark, the smoke of cigars,
183       13|            would read the number of men that passed. He secretly
184       13|        forget everything—the mob of men which constantly crossed
185       13|            befitting an idol of all men’s worship. And close by,
186       13|       understanding between the two men constantly improved. In
187       13|            works, where hundreds of men sweated in the sun while
188       13|       fortune on the bodies of dead men.~“Oh, by God, what an implement!”~
189       13|             the women when it’s the men who want you to do things.
190       13|          right when they accuse the men of heartlessness! Who knows?
191       13|         while a whole generation of men lay stricken down before
192       13|              had poisoned all these men by merely alighting on them.
193       14|             asked for news. The two men egged each other on. They
194       14|         scattering groups a band of men in workmen’s caps and white
195       14|            the wake of the bands of men in blouses. A constant forward
196       14|           to catch a glimpse of the men of their own party below,
197       14|            They are just like other men, and they’re not always
198       14|             There’s always too many men of that sort!” declared
