They were simple, unconventional, light-hearted folk, and Van Bibber found them vastly more entertaining and preferable to the silence of the deserted club, where the matting was down, and from whence the regular habitues had departed to the other side or to Newport.
Her French was of the British school-girl variety, grammatically precise, but with a hopeless, insular accent. After a few attempts Stefan had ceased trying to speak it with her. "Darling," he had begged, "don't let us it is the only ugly sound you make." One by one they came to know the habitues of these places. In the restaurant Stefan was detested, but tolerated for the sake of his wife.
"Only once before, M. Gaston, have I compared notes with a fellow opium-smoker, and he, also, was a patron of Madame Jean; he, also, met in his dreams that Eastern Circe, in the grove of apes, just as I"... "Morbleu!

Molina burst out laughing ... when he ran his eye over the list and found accompanying the names of ballet-dancers and members of the chorus, the distinguished particles of some habitués. Madame Marsy was awaiting Guy de Lissac's return from the greenroom.

"But the lodging is furnished, and well too, and has four rooms. One hundred francs are not much." A thought flashed upon Graham. "Pardon, Monsieur," he said, "have you an appartement de garcon to let furnished?" "Yes, Monsieur, a charming one.

Some of my habitues rather expect me to be on hand to gossip about books." "I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed myself," said Gilbert. "I'm going to come again and study your shelves."
Her extraordinary beauty, however, had already made observers numerous and given the habitues of the Pincian plenty to talk about.
