Her age was seventeen, and she dressed after Carmen to please herself, and read Gyp with the same intention. She was absorbed now in Les Amoureux, and had to be told twice that her cousin had come before she would look up. "Miss Marvel? Show her in."
His two first comedies, L'Etourdi and Le Dépit Amoureux, which he had only ventured to bring out in a provincial theatre, were grafted on Italian and Spanish comedy.
But Emile Chasles, a son of my old friend, gave a lecture upon him, and afterwards Le lion amoureux was played, a very tolerable little piece from the Revolutionary period, in which, for one thing, Napoleon appears as a young man. There are some very fine revolutionary tirades in it, of which Princess Mathilde, after its first representation, said that they made her Republican heart palpitate.
'The Amours of the Gauls' was the pretence of his imprisonment; but the true cause was the song in which the king was treated with too much freedom, and which, upon this occasion, was brought to remembrance to ruin Bussi, the reputed author of it. Que Deodatus est heureux, De baiser ce bec amoureux, Qui d'une oreille a l'autre va!
She showed to the ladies of the Court the severe verses which the Count had written; and his victims were so enraged that they carried their complaints to the King, who had already felt the weight of the author's blows in some verses beginning: "Que Deodatus est heureux De baiser ce bec amoureux, Qui, d'une oreille a l'autre va.

* "Les amoureux fervents et les savants austères Aiment également, dans leur mûre saison, Les chats puissants et doux, orgueil de la maison, Qui comme eux sont frileux et comme eux sédentaires." "I need hardly remind you that you must write me a story. Bring it on Twelfth Night. We will dine together. "Annie Morgan. "P.S. Your little cat's name is Porou."

Beaux jours!
