And Nana, who was slowly 1689 1| inquiry ended in a final galop after which Jupiter, breathless, 1690 5| of black kittens who were gamboling wildly round them while 1691 13| But ere long these little games were spoiled.

And there in the 1731 14| strings of brilliant pearls glistened among the stalactites in 1732 4| a rain of curls, and the glitter of a diamond clasp lit up 1733 6| in the deep quiet of the gloaming, he had meditated a fierce 1734 12| gliding in behind them. He gloated over them with a beatified 1735 14| repeated with a smile of gloomiest dejection.~Two more women 1736 5| Potier, one of the bygone glories of the Varietes, stood gazing 1737 11| cry rose heavenward in the glorious sunlight, whose golden rain 1738 5| the big white beard, the gluey odor of which doubtless 1739 2| kissed them with all the gluttonous eagerness peculiar to his 1740 4| Tatan Nene alone partook gluttonously of every dish.

You 1744 1| himself between the two goddesses. Then ensued a passage which 1745 5| when Venus entered in her godlike nakedness the same effect 1746 4| supper, and of these one was gorgeous in silver plate with sheaves 1747 8| with mud. They had long gossips together and were endlessly 1748 13| waiting for her; he had for–gotten to give her an answer to 1749 12| house which he erewhile governed.

Nana was greatly softened 1761 4| those very young men, whose grandmother she might well be, it was 1762 11| the open galleries of the grandstands! The scene interested her 1763 7| had followed the Rue de la Grange Bateliere as far as the 1764 11| the garden, across ruined grassplots and ravaged masses of greenery. 1765 5| drew back the slide over a grated peephole of the kind used 1766 13| fellow after keeping him gratis for weeks! And I met him 1767 11| what a lot of men on the graveled sidewalks, all of them with 1768 3| looking, as he did so, even grayer than was his wont.~Four 1769 14| sunken, they had assumed the grayish hue of mud; and on that 1770 6| of the victoria came near grazing her, but she did not step 1771 4| man of English origin who greased the wheels of the trains 1772 4| when her father, the wheel greaser at the Northern Railway 1773 5| unsteadily along in his greatcoat, he took his departure, 1774 13| for her sons. He knew her greatness of heart and pictured her 1775 7| fleshly instinct, a childish greed of enjoyment, which left 1776 4| Georges, giggling like a greedy little child.~A footman 1777 7| were a lot slyer than her greenhorn of a husband. And things 1778 2| close, heavy warmth of a greenhouse. The roses were withering, 1779 11| Nevertheless, she exchanged greetings at a distance. Indeed, she 1780 7| ecstasies over a porcelain greyhound standing with raised forepaw 1781 4| Georges all at once felt grievously chagrined, as though the 1782 13| We should be as jolly as grigs together, eh?”~This was 1783 7| shock he even hit upon a grimace calculated to tide him honorably 1784 7| sort of passion which the grimacing ugliness of a low comedian 1785 4| As she viewed Paris thus grimly awakening, she was overcome 1786 6| said Caroline Hequet, grinding her teeth.~Nana silenced 1787 13| of the poor man who was groaning in front of my door this 1788 2| putting plenty of sugar in her grog when the electric bell made 1789 1| a spare, sedulously well–groomed and extremely distinguished 1790 11| took in everybody, from the grooms leading the horses on to 1791 9| the corner box. She had to grope her way along the passage 1792 14| over this loathsome and grotesque mask of death the hair, 1793 9| with his actors, who now grouped themselves round him. Mignon 1794 5| What filthy weather!” he growled.~Simonne and Prulliere did 1795 6| and boxes. Zoe looked very gruff and cast a frigid glance 1796 9| business to be. And then they grumble when they’re kept till after 1797 6| answered with a succession of grunts. Down in the calash Nana 1798 3| it, the countess was well guarded; there was nothing to be 1799 9| them both against him and guessing that Bordenave had some 1800 10| visited the coachbuilders; he guided the young woman in her choice 1801 4| cold roast a galantine of guinea fowl in jelly.

It was in the palatial 1812 13| annihilation. Pious and habituated to ecstatic experiences 1813 6| a nature which had grown hackneyed and disgusted in the service 1814 5| passed.~“Just you find those hags Fernande and Maria!” cried 1815 10| a downward hail of long hairpins rang a little chime on the 1816 4| merry laughter into his hairy ear and enjoying the little 1817 8| quarreling with him about halfpence. He had certainly promised 1818 7| fixity of his gaze induced hallucinations.~A shower was falling. Two 1819 13| speaking, her sex rose in a halo of glory and beamed over 1820 8| morning restaurants, bars and ham–and–beef shops were brightly 1821 7| feet like an ox under the hammer:~“If honest women must meddle 1822 14| which suggested the beat of hammers upon an anvil.~“To Ber–lin! 1823 11| servants to take care of the hampers of champagne inside, and “ 1824 6| Then Nana rummaged in her handbag and found quite a heap of 1825 4| both exchanged a discreet handgrip, but to the questions which 1826 2| appearance of a bad start, handicapped by refusals of credit and 1827 5| quietly turned the door handle; then, cringing again:~“ 1828 1| actress? She’s being roughly handled enough in the passages.”~“ 1829 12| commission. I’ve brought you the handsel of my innocence!”~And with 1830 4| and the scene ended in handshakings. The little sickly looking 1831 10| the great thing was to die handsomely. For some time past Nana 1832 11| that Marechal had a dirty, hangdog look. Nevertheless, she 1833 7| himself a deputy; he was haranguing an assembly, loudly denouncing 1834 13| Cherbourg he had seen the new harbor with its enormous works, 1835 10| one ever troubled. But the hardest to bear were the two or 1836 11| the fine folks with the hardihood becoming a man ever ready 1837 12| accompaniment of amusing gossip and harebrained anecdotes. The ladies all 1838 1| meanings were attached to them; harmless phrases were diverted from 1839 7| notes as sweet as those of a harmonica, which had gained him his 1840 11| their bright colors mingled harmoniously. Chairs were scattered about, 1841 11| his two horses, which were harnessed tandemwise, the leader being 1842 8| touched him.~In the bedroom he harped still more vigorously on 1843 8| pavement in behalf of his harridan of a wife, whom nobody wants 1844 11| magnificent big brown bay, the harsh citron color and black of 1845 13| everything, in fact, which can hasten the ruin of a house devoured 1846 2| under some rough touch and hasty rings which sounded through 1847 13| fulfillment of a plan she had been hatching for some time past.~These, 1848 10| afternoon.~At breakfast, as she hated feeding alone, she nearly 1849 13| day wild disorders led to hateful complications. Nana even 1850 4| to grow angry and in her haughtiest manner announced that such 1851 9| eyes out!”~Tranquilly and haughtily Mignon shrugged his shoulders, 1852 10| eyes.
