GERFAUT

By Charles de Bernard

Antipathy for her husband bordering upon aversion

Attractions that difficulties give to pleasure

Attractive abyss of drunkenness

Consented to become a wife so as not to remain a maiden

Despotic tone which a woman assumes when sure of her empire

Evident that the man was above his costume; a rare thing!

I believed it all; one is so happy to believe!

It is a terrible step for a woman to take, from No to Yes

Lady who requires urging, although she is dying to sing

Let them laugh that win!

Let ultra-modesty destroy poetry

Love is a fire whose heat dies out for want of fuel

Mania for fearing that she may be compromised

Material in you to make one of Cooper's redskins

Misfortunes never come single

No woman is unattainable, except when she loves another

Obstinacy of drunkenness

Recourse to concessions is often as fatal to women as to kings

Regards his happiness as a proof of superiority

She said yes, so as not to say no

These are things that one admits only to himself

Those whom they most amuse are those who are best worth amusing

Topics that occupy people who meet for the first time

Trying to conceal by a smile (a blush)

When one speaks of the devil he appears

Wiped his nose behind his hat, like a well-bred orator

You are playing 'who loses wins!'
