"My child, we once were children, two children happy and small; we crept in the little hen-house and hid ourselves under the straw." "Kikerikueh! sie glaubten Es waere Hahnen geschrei." "...It's all very well, Mary, I can't go on reading Heine to you for ever. And apres?" He had taken her on his knees. That happened sometimes.
Were not her words, nearly 500 years later, echoed by Renan when he says, “Après Jésus, c’est Marie de Magdale qui a le plus fait pour la fondation du Christianisme”? L’Epistre au Dieu d’Amours is an extraordinary product of worldly wisdom and common sense, seasoned with satire.
Madelon, driven into her last intrenchments by the sophistries of the wily aristocrat, objected timidly, "Mais, Monseigneur, j'aime mon mari."

"Après le dîner il y eut appartement jeu, et la fête fut terminée par un feu d'artifice."
