And Brigit, too unstrung to tell the usual conventional lies, simply sobbed on, her whole body shaking with agony. Madame Joyselle sat patiently by her, stroking her shoulders with a kind hand, murmuring little broken phrases in French, patting her hair. "Oui, oui, ma mie Pauvre petite, ça te soulagera Pleures, ma cocotte, pleures!"
Papillon's features wore an air of self-satisfied pride as, sitting erect on his box, he cracked his whip, and encouraged the nimble Cocotte. The vehicle could not have got over the ground more rapidly if its driver had been promised a hundred sous' gratuity. Father Absinthe alone was sad.
Oh, my Cocotte! where is my Cocotte?" "Hang your Cocotte!" I used to cry out in a rage. "'Tis bad enough to be mewed up here like a Bear in a pit, without being worried by a counfounded Barber's Clerk!" I had been Tugging at the Oar full Six Months, when a change came over my lamentable Lot.
She was looked upon as a cocotte, and that was indeed her profession; but when people wanted to refer to her in a literary fashion, they called her an actress and a singer. I used to be devoted to the theatre, and therefore this fraudulent pretense of being an actress made me furiously indignant.

That meal was followed by a period of torpor, then every one sought the beach the high, the low; the rich, the poor; the dowdy and the well-dressed; the virgin in white and the cocotte in scarlet; the thin and the obese; the French, the Dutch, the Italian yea, and the angular English, for Weet-sur-Mer attracted a crowd as hybrid as its name!
Can you imagine what my kind colleagues say about me? That I've gotten along as a woman of the demimonde rather than as an artist that I'm a cocotte, using my voice and the stage for soliciting, as it were." "Damn the liars!" cried Rafael hotly. "I'd like to have someone say that in my hearing." "Bah! Don't be a child. Liars, yes, but what they say has a grain of truth in it.
He belongs to the old school, it is true, but his work is interesting all the same. The English and American girls were dressed like Elsie and Cissy in cheap linen dresses; one of the French artists was living with a cocotte. She was dressed more elaborately; somewhat like Mildred, Elsie remarked, and the girls laughed, and sat down to their bowls of coffee.
