He always had candy or flowers to give the ladies. Mon Dieu! Men shouldn't be expected to push away women who threw themselves at them. There was no excuse for Gervaise. She was a disgrace.

"Yes, in this place." "You surprise me." "Mon Dieu, they enjoy themselves because they have not that fear of death which is the great killjoy in all our earthly pleasures." "But why should they be members of this club if they do not kill themselves?" "One may be a member of the club without being obliged for that reason to commit suicide." "But then?" "I will explain.
