"It would have satisfied Sir Grosvenor le Draughte; he was for compromise. But, confound him, his father was only an accoucheur." A great merit of the baronets, from the novelist's point of view, is that they and their belongings are so uncommonly easy to draw. He is Sir Grosvenor, his wife is Lady le Draughte, his sons, elder and younger, are Mr. le Draughte, and his daughters Miss le Draughte.
I would as lief submit; my work to a publisher as I would to a select committee of authors. At all events, the publisher is not my rival; and I suspect he is the best judge, after all, of a book, as an accoucheur ought to be of a baby." "Upon my word, nephew, you pay a bad compliment to your father's Great Work, which the booksellers will have nothing to do with."
Madden left her, telling her that she was not pregnant, and when she reappeared at his office in a few days, he reassured her of the nonexistence of pregnancy; she became very indignant, triumphantly squeezed lactescent fluid from her breasts, and, insisting that she could feel fetal movements, left to seek a more sympathetic accoucheur.
"I don't doubt it," said my father, ruefully; "only those doves, when they are small, are a very noisy sort of birds non talium avium cantos somnum reducent. However, it might have been worse. Leda had twins." "So had Mrs. Barnabas last week," rejoined the accoucheur. "Who knows what may be in store for you yet? Here's a health to Master Caxton, and lots of brothers and sisters to him."

Oh, it's another case of American woman, too finely organized for the plain animal duties. A lot of my women patients are the same way. They take child-bearing hard, damned hard.... What's the matter with them? I don't know!" he concluded irritably.
"No, madame," replied the accoucheur, "I have not exactly seen any such, nor do I ever expect to do so; but I have seen some curious cases of lethargy, which, if you desire, I will bring to Your Majesty's notice.
