He committed the extreme error of selecting mademoiselle Guimard as mediatrix between himself and me. |
|
There is but one abode for the blessed, my dear mademoiselle, and one expiation for us all. |
|
I talked on for a few minutes, and then turned to make my adieus to mademoiselle. |
|
All this while mademoiselle, on the floor at my feet, had neither stirred nor whispered, as rigid as the statued Virgin herself. |
|
De Launay was rich, of course, but he did not believe that mademoiselle was mercenary. |
|
Was I wrong in declining to have mademoiselle Guimard as ambassadress? |
|
Why, mademoiselle, is it possible that anybody with a grain of rationality should feel enthusiasm about a mere name, and that name England? |
|
The marquise turned to mademoiselle, who was still sitting on the floor. |
|
I care little, so long as you, mademoiselle, give them no credence! |
|
I mean, mademoiselle, that wherever I may happen to be, no one else ought to be the master. |
|
Mademoiselle's lady's maid says, sir, that mademoiselle is finishing her toilette, and will be here shortly. |
|
Thanks to the devotion of her lieutenants, mademoiselle was soon ready for the conflict. |
|
It is enough, mademoiselle, said Smithers, jotting down notes. |
|
First, mademoiselle, I must decide whether I choose to be paid. |
|
I shall take mademoiselle on Fatima and get her safe inside the gates. |
|
I had on a spotlessly fresh pair of gloves, but I went in and held up my hands, and said to her, 'Dear mademoiselle, what will you ask me for cleaning these? |

Mademoiselle Giraud was a quilter, and sometimes worked at Madam Galley's, which procured her free admission to the house. |
|
Mademoiselle Deschamps, who was only a figurante, contrived to get on with a salary of only sixteen pounds. |
|
Mademoiselle held the royal warrant of her father's banishment in her hand. |
|
In fact, the mauvais quart d'heure was really due to the innate womanly weakness of Mademoiselle Justine Delande. |
|
|
But how in St. picot's name did you arrive at all this knowledge, Mademoiselle? |
|
It is all very well for Mademoiselle Susan, but you are not created for a religieuse. |
|
The house in question had always been occupied by abbes, and it belonged to an old maid named Mademoiselle Gamard. |
|
Madame colours, looks resentful, Mademoiselle busies herself with orders to a mannequin. |
|
In the meantime Mademoiselle de Montalais had taken the letter, folded it carefully, as women do, in three folds, and slipped it into her bosom. |
|
Why, he was talking of his engagement to Mademoiselle Dormance two months ago and chortling over her shekels. |
|
Seventy-five dollars, Mademoiselle Hennequin, would be a high price for such a thing, even in Paris, I fancy. |

|
He had related to M. de Fleury their history, and Mademoiselle de Merrivale's desire to repurchase them. |
|
Mademoiselle Riette, catching sight of him, laughed so exhaustingly that she could dance no longer. |
|
Then followed Mademoiselle Irma Viollat, one of the ornaments of the corps de ballet. |
|
Whereupon I pointed the not unuseful moral that what I had said applied to Mademoiselle also. |
|
Mademoiselle shuddered, envisioning some bloodthirsty, evil thing, unspeakably depraved. |
|
He had asked if Mademoiselle wished him to call a voiture, but she had said no. |
|
Better to place these pots of cyclamen on the window-sill, Mademoiselle, if you please. |
|
|
Mademoiselle was deftly opening the girl's dressing case, but she paused now and turned. |
|
The calm and the naivety of this compliment made Mademoiselle shed tears. |
|
The son of Monseigneur will in the autumn marry Mademoiselle de Voincourt. |
|
She ees the most baddest Mademoiselle zat I have een my class. |
|
Mademoiselle Armande had taken the chevalier's arm, and walked away so as to leave the three women free to discuss wedlock. |
|
It was the envelope of the fatal letter which Mademoiselle Violet had written him to Queenstown. |
|
He knew Mademoiselle Reisz a good deal better than he wanted to know her, he informed his questioner. |
|
There, Mademoiselle, you have the reason for a clandestine union. |
|
The very first chords which Mademoiselle Reisz struck upon the piano sent a keen tremor down Mrs. |
|
Edna's desire to see Mademoiselle Reisz had increased tenfold since these unlooked-for obstacles had arisen to thwart it. |
|
All of a sudden Mademoiselle Amelie Thirion, the leader of the aristocrats, began to speak in a low voice, and very earnestly, to her neighbor. |
|
He revealed, in a spirit of revenge, the artless, sincere, and genuine love of Athanase for Mademoiselle Cormon. |
|
I wonder if I shall ever be stirred again as Mademoiselle Reisz's playing moved me to-night. |
|
Mademoiselle Cormon did not possess in her person an obliging auxiliary to her desires. |
|
Mademoiselle smoothed the letter out, restored it to the envelope, and replaced it in the table drawer. |
|
Mademoiselle Bourienne stood near them pressing her hand to her heart, with a beatific smile and obviously equally ready to cry or to laugh. |
|
It is high time now to spread a rumor of my marriage with Mademoiselle Cormon. |
|
Du Bousquier flung water on Mademoiselle Cormon's face and bosom, which, released from the corset, overflowed like the Loire in flood. |
|
Perhaps a thought of blackmail occurred to him as a useful possibility in helping him in his designs on Mademoiselle Stangerson. |
|
Thus all things conspired on this fateful day to produce the great scenic effect which decided the future life of Mademoiselle Cormon. |
|
|
Well, then, if it be not Mademoiselle Aure de Montalais, it is that pretty blonde who follows her. |
|
Mademoiselle Bourienne was often touched to tears as in imagination she told this story to him, her seducer. |
|
Mademoiselle Cormon, from a sense of shamefacedness, dared not look at the terrible seducer. |
|
As nothing escapes the piercing eyes of malice, Mademoiselle Thirion became, as it were, a sharer in the sudden emotion of master and pupil. |
|
Mademoiselle is serious, persisted the young man, bowing and grimacing. |
|
Gustave, have you seen Mademoiselle Madeleine, this morning? |
|
He turned and hurried away to one of the far cottages, where Mademoiselle Reisz was shuffling away. |
|

|
Newman pointed out what pleased him, and Mademoiselle Noemie generally criticised it, and proposed something else. |
|
|
Mademoiselle Noemie glanced at the glowing splendor of the Venetian masterpiece and gave a little toss of her head. |
|
So, then, Mademoiselle Cormon was guilty in the eyes of the world of the divine ignorance of virgins. |
|
On leaving the grocer's shop, they saw a coach, the future depository of the charms of Mademoiselle Truchen and Planchet's bags of crowns. |
|
Monsieur Frulus, a taste of vol-au-vent for Mademoiselle de la Pincerie. |
|
It is not only Monsieur that occupies himself with Mademoiselle. |
|
Nay, did I not see Mademoiselle shake hands with the ondine? |

|
Isn't he what your countrymen would call a 'wunderkind,' Mademoiselle? |
|
Mademoiselle Cormon had ended, as it was natural she should end, in contemplating herself only in the infinite pettinesses of her life. |
|
His large boots contained a foot which Mademoiselle de Montalais might not have disowned if she had been transformed into a man. |
|
Mademoiselle was poking at a rusty stove that smoked a little and warmed the room indifferently. |
|
The Homeric laugh thus raised having subsided, Mademoiselle Cormon asked the reason of her success. |
|
Mademoiselle de Montalais, of a half noble family, not only would be dowered, but would ennoble Malicorne. |
|
Mademoiselle Saget was reflecting, and she expressed her thoughts aloud. |
|
The despondent frame of mind in which she had left home began again to overtake her, and she remembered that she wished to find Mademoiselle Reisz. |
|
She gave Edna the address, regretting that she would not consent to stay and spend the remainder of the afternoon, and pay a visit to Mademoiselle Reisz some other day. |
|
Mademoiselle Thirion's act was, therefore, a decisive stroke, intended by her to force the others into becoming, openly, the accomplices of her hatred. |
|
During the last two weeks I had looked for much to transpire, but am still ignorant whether at that time anything decisive ever passed between Mademoiselle and the General. |
|

|
Valentin remained, and the two men, in their respective places, sat out the rest of the performance, which was also enjoyed by Mademoiselle Nioche and her truculent admirer. |
|
Mademoiselle Reisz perceived her agitation and even her tears. |
|
Mademoiselle Violet stood to him for the whole wonderful world of romance, into which he had peered dimly from behind the counter of an Islington emporium. |
|
Mademoiselle opened the drawer and drew forth the letter, the topmost one. |
|
When the Consulate restored internal order, external difficulties made the marriage of Mademoiselle Cormon as difficult to arrange as it had been in the past. |
|
Thus I shall rejoice when Mademoiselle Eugenie perceives I am but a pitiful atom, with scarcely as many hundred thousand francs as she has millions. |
|
Monsieur Ratignolle stared a little, and turned to ask Mademoiselle Reisz if she considered the symphony concerts up to the standard which had been set the previous winter. |
|
Mademoiselle had only disagreeable things to say of the symphony concerts, and insulting remarks to make of all the musicians of New Orleans, singly and collectively. |
|
It is to be hoped that Mademoiselle Stangerson will shortly recover her reason, which has been temporarily unhinged by the horrible mystery at the Glandier. |
|
Mademoiselle Reisz, being exceedingly diminutive, was elevated upon cushions, as small children are sometimes hoisted at table upon bulky volumes. |
|
Mademoiselle Stangerson threw a fichu shawl over her shoulders and I plainly saw that it was she who was begging Monsieur Darzac to go with her into the garden. |
|
In truth, my dear Captain, I have a great mind to take away your commission and give it to Mademoiselle de Chemerault, to whom I promised an abbey. |
|
It was during such a mood that Edna hunted up Mademoiselle Reisz. |
|
She took a fancy to Mademoiselle, and amused her very much with odd stories of her life in France, when Amy sat with her while she got up Madam's laces. |
|
Mademoiselle Nioche is like the great artists whose biographies we read, who at the beginning of their career have suffered opposition in the domestic circle. |
