As to the rest of his income he spent it on good deeds, and in presents to his great-niece; he gave a dinner four times a year to his friends, at Roland's, Rue du Hasard, and took them afterwards to the theatre. He played the part of those old bachelors on whom married women draw at sight for their amusements, a country jaunt, the opera, the Montagnes-Beaujon, et caetera.
Élodie made the actress sit on the right, took the left-hand place herself and put the slim Julienne between the two of them. Brotteaux settled himself, back to the horses, facing the citoyenne Thévenin; Philippe Dubois, opposite the citoyenne Hasard; Évariste opposite Élodie.
I shall reason with him when the time comes. And then we shall want to know where to find you." "At number 13, Rue du Hasard. The number is unlucky, the name of the street appropriate. Therefore both are easy to remember." She nodded. "I will walk with you to the gates."
Do you" Anna was deadly pale as she turned the cigarcase from side to side "do you imagine that I smoke, 'par hasard?"

The human torrent poured out into the Rue de Richelieu, and Andre-Louis perforce must suffer himself to be borne along by it, at least as far as the Rue du Hasard.

"You must go no farther, mademoiselle," said Loo. She stopped, half bending to take her skirt, but did not look back.
The Marquis was beating time with one finger, and within the room, to an impromptu accompaniment invented by Juliette, Barebone was singing: C'est le Hasard, Qui, tot ou tard, Ici-bas nous seconde; Car, D'un bout du monde A l'autre bout, Le Hasard seul fait tout. He broke off with a laugh in which Juliette's low voice joined.
A clear strong voice had broken joyously into song, and the words it sang were French: "C'est le Hasard, Qui, tot ou tard, Ici bas nous seconde; Car, D'un bout du monde A l'autre bout, Le Hasard seul fait tout."

In consequence of this, it was necessary that the squadron should attack in two divisions.
Voyons, coquin, n'y-a-t-il pas par hasard une visiteuse de la partie." "Une 'Waistcoat' par example? de quarante ans environ, le drap un peu râpé . . ." "Qui se nomme Dorothée ce que veut dire le gilet dieudonné . . ." "Easy now!" the Orderly's voice remonstrated. "Easy, I tell you, ye born mill-clappers! There's a lady in the party, if that's what you're asking."
