C'était pendant l'horreur d'une profonde nuit. The sentence is like a cavern whose mouth a careless traveller might pass by, but which opens out, to the true explorer, into vista after vista of strange recesses rich with inexhaustible gold. But, sometimes, the phrase, compact as dynamite, explodes upon one with an immediate and terrific force C'est Vénus toute entière
Beside Jack's bed, on his little "table de nuit," lay the remains of his last meal, and an open letter, which we read. It was from one of his suspicious acquaintances of former days, and ran thus: "Ou es tu, cher Jack? why you not come and see me tu me dois de l'argent, entends tu? un chapeau, une cachemire, a box of the Play.
La nuit passee you charged me pour deux chandelles when I only had one; hier vous avez charged me avec glace when I had none at all; tout les jours you are coming some fresh game or other on me, mais vous ne pouvez pas play this savon dodge on me twice. Savon is a necessary de la vie to any body but a Frenchman, et je l'aurai hors de cet hotel or make trouble. You hear me. Allons.
"Oh, yes, I can," said Eugene, "I practically have already. She will come to me." "She may, she may, but at what a cost. Look at me, Eugene. Am I not enough? I am still good looking. You have declared to me time and again that I have a beautiful form. See, see" she tore open her dressing gown and the robe de nuit, in which she had come in.
"You ought to have seen Bella's baggage," he said, at last; "it was so compact. You can't fancy any thing so tiny as the sac de nuit. A courier's moneybag would make two of it. Then a vast cloak, and that's all. Quite in light marching order." "I wonder you are not ashamed to talk about baggage," his wife retorted.
"Later," said Philip, "when Miss Westfall returns to her house on wheels, I imagine he too will take to the road again and resume his charming erotics." "That," said the Baron with decision, "is most undesirable." "I agree with you!" said Philip feelingly. "I too have promised to be a guest at Miss Sherrill's fête de nuit!" purred the Baron suavely.

Jamais de la cité le mal entier ne fuit, Hélas! et son autel y fume dans la nuit; Mais notre âge a ceci de pareil
Comme il se couchait de très bonne heure, il lui arrivait de s'éveiller au milieu de la nuit. Hanté par son idée fixe, il ouvrait la fenêtre. Une fois rassuré, avant de regagner son lit il allait, une bougie
He turned presently to the right, and preceded us down a long and horribly ill-favored street, full of mean cabarets and lodging-houses of the poorest class, where, painted in red letters on broken lamps above the doors, or printed on cards wafered against the window-panes, one saw at almost every other house, the words, "Ici on loge la nuit."
The hotel attendant, who had apparently undertaken the management of him, packed this up in the morning, having somewhat pointedly placed within it his robe de nuit. Thereafter the man bowed, smiled gravely, pointed to the door, beckoned him to follow, and left the room. By that time Lancey had, as it were, given himself up. He acted with the unquestioning obedience of a child or a lunatic.
