  3        1|        the scent of an idiot. You’ll see, you’ll see! She’s only
  4        1|         an idiot. You’ll see, you’ll see! She’s only got to come
  5        1|    grumbled to himself:~“Yes, she’ll go far! Oh yes, s’elp me,
  6        1|        far! Oh yes, s’elp me, she’ll go far! A skin—oh, what
  7        1|        radiantly to Steiner. “She’ll get a pretty reception;

  9        1|      trollop that comes by. There’ll soon be no more decent women
 10        1|           They’re people whom she’ll have had nothing to do with!”~

 15        2|     stupid not to know anyone who’ll give you three hundred francs.”~
 16        2|           at once:~“It’s you. You’ll go to Rambouillet today?”~“
 17        2|      throwing out her bosom. “You’ll have lunch, and then we’
 18        2|           have lunch, and then we’ll see.”~Zoe brought a dressing
 19        2|       hair. He bowed and said:~“I’ll keep my eye on the evening
 20        2|           m discreet! Tut, tut, I’ll look after him as though
 21        2|      waiting for you to return we’ll play a game of bezique,”
 22        2|         four o’clock.”~“Oh, there’ll be no time lost,” she murmured.~
 23        2|           to feel too hungry they’ll be off.” Her humor had changed,
 24        2|           not attend and said:~“I’ll take you along with me.
 25        2|        take you along with me. We’ll have dinner together, and
 26        3|          skeptic, Foucarmont; you’ll spoil all your pleasures
 27        3|         nothing about anything, I’ll wager!”~Just then the Countess

 35        4|         the stomach’s unhurt, you’ll see.”~Other guests had arrived
 36        4|       Bordenave in the middle! He’ll be our president!”~Thereupon
 37        4|           don’t take any fish; it’ll do you no good at this time

 42        4|          Bois de Boulogne, and we’ll drink milk there.”~She clapped
 43        4|        bottle of chartreuse; that’ll pick him up! And now, my
 44        4|        now. Come tomorrow, and we’ll arrange about hours. Now

 65        6|      before seven o’clock. But it’ll be a change for him all
 66        6|           at the making of her! I’ll bet you that she’s the mistress
 67        6|            decent sort of lady! I’ll tell her that I never saw
 68        6|      Georges in great anxiety. “I’ll explain it all myself. Besides,
 69        6|       there yet!~“Eh, darling, we’ll stay?” she said, giving
 70        7|       blackguard Fauchery too! He’ll teach her some pretty things!”~“
 71        7|         one of these days, and we’ll have a chat.”~Then she became
 72        7|         giving Zoe an order. “You’ll look out for him, and you’
 73        7|         look out for him, and you’ll tell him not to make a noise
 74        7|         roasted. Wait a second. I’ll cook my tummy a bit. That’
 75        7|         now you see the clearance’ll be quite complete. Now then,
 76        8|       gentleman behind it all.~“I’ll never consent!” declared
 77        8|      charming, and, by heaven, we’ll come and see you!”~But when
 78        8|        well, my little Francis, I’ll go and look ‘em up, I will.
 79        8|           to them at once? Yes, I’ll go, and we’ll see whether

 81        8|          s go to sleep, or things’ll take a nasty turn.”~And
 82        8|         mash I starve for it! You’ll come and see me, eh? You
 83        8|        you will,” she replied. “I’ll make tea, and we’ll go to
 84        8|             I’ll make tea, and we’ll go to bed after.”~Thereupon
 85        8|        you cook a leg of mutton I’ll pay for half of it. We’ll

 87        8|          you need fear nothing! I’ll work for both of us!”~But
 88        8|      little knocks. Tut, tut, you’ll get others as bad, but don’
 89        8|           skin off your back, you’ll come and knock at my door,
 90        8|           knock at my door, and I’ll open it to you.”~Soon money
 91        8|       were pincers.~“Hook it or I’ll strangle you!”~rhereupon
 92        8|           the pigs! Look here, we’ll have nothing more to do
 93        8|           in a great fright. “You’ll kill yourself.”~Then as

 95        9|        low tone:~“You are sure he’ll come?”~“Quite sure. Without
 96        9|      Quite sure. Without doubt he’ll come with Mignon, so as
 97        9|          makes his appearance you’ll go up into Mathilde’s dressing
 98        9|   Mathilde’s dressing room, and I’ll bring him to you there.”~
 99        9|            Fauchery repeated. “We’ll arrange the scene tomorrow.”~
100        9|          written in, my dears! It’ll fall dead flat, you may

104        9|       there’s no end to ‘em! They’ll be fancying I’ve got ‘em

109        9|      Bordenave’s master here. You’ll tell me there’s Fauchery
110        9|           it’s a bargain, eh? You’ll tell him that it’s for my
111        9|         of the utmost anguish. “I’ll do whatever you like, but
112        9|           begin making a fuss. We’ll find some points. Eh, Fauchery,
113        9|         points. Eh, Fauchery, you’ll add some points? In the
114        9|      trouble,” said Bordenave, “I’ll undertake to arrange matters.”~
115        9|       abusing your power, but you’ll see, you’ll see!”~At this
116        9|        power, but you’ll see, you’ll see!”~At this the embarrassment
117        9|         we’re all of one mind, we’ll finish the matter at once.
118        9|    Fauchery and Muffat, said:~“We’ll sign tomorrow morning. Have

128       10|        dignity; “if he’s polite I’ll be polite.”~Francois ushered
129       10| laughingly:~“For that matter, you’ll see your brother here. I’
130       10|       willing to be comforted.~“I’ll swear by whatever you like—

136       11|            I’ve an inspiration. I’ll bet a louis on Nana.”~“Bravo!
137       11|           again? I’ve a notion: I’ll hire the Gaite, and we’ll

146       11|           blown upon already. You’ll see the canter.”~The horses
147       11|         see how many minutes they’ll be about it,” said Bordenave
148       11|            So much the better! It’ll do my business for me!”

153       12|         her the example, and that’ll shut you up. There, now,
