I once overheard her say to her mother: "il est beau comme Apollon quand il sourit de son air hautain."

I have spent my time extremely pleasantly. But one must know where to stop. I will let you go till lunch time and I will go and look after my business. My secretary, you saw him Constantin, c'est lui qui est mon secretaire must be waiting for me by now. I commend him to you; he is an excellent, obliging young man, and quite enthusiastic about you.
