In the last year of his life he dined with the courtezan Ambapâlî and the incident has attracted attention on account of its supposed analogy to the narrative about Christ and "the woman which was a sinner." But the resemblance is small. There is no sign that the Buddha, then eighty years of age, felt any personal interest in Ambapâlî.
Nor was there wanting, to complete the variety, the brazen-faced courtezan, with her 'nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles, tho' to class her with ladies of any grade, would be sacrilege. The weather was delicious; a soft breeze gently stirred the trees, which were beginning to assume the fair livery of spring, and the mild rays of the declining sun shone cheerily over the noble enclosure.
In a state of mind bordering on distraction, the wretched woman wandered about the streets until a late hour; the disorder of her dress, the wildness of her appearance, induced many whom she met to suppose her to be intoxicated; and several riotous young men, returning from a theatre, believing her to be a courtezan, treated her with the utmost rudeness, at the same time calling her by the most opprobrious names, until a gentleman who was passing rescued her from their brutality.
Give her all the instruction in your power, and learn her the arts and ways of a finished courtezan." Jew Mike laid Fanny upon a sofa; the girls crowded around her, and regarded her with looks of interest and joy.
Those who do not distinguish genera, use the two terms promiscuously, as if they had one meaning, and thence one signification: but as they are two genera, and the term keeping a mistress is suitable to the former, because a kept mistress is a courtezan, and the term concubinage to the latter, because a concubine is a substituted partner of the bed, therefore for the sake of distinction, ante-nuptial stipulation with a woman is signified by keeping a mistress, and post-nuptial by concubinage.
A beautiful French girl a fashionable courtezan was taken to the police office, charged with stealing a lady's small gold watch. Her accuser was positive that she had the article about her; her pocket, reticule, bonnet, hair, and dress were searched without success. The rude hand of the officer invaded her voluptuous bosom, but still without finding the watch.
To avenge his wrongs, and the loss of his betrothed, who is given to his rival and dies, he blows up the steamer in presence of an assembled multitude, and quits his native land with a courtezan who has conceived a liking for him and will provide him with money to recommence his enterprise elsewhere.
We'll travel the continent, we'll go the world over, you and I. I'll quit my estates, my family for you. Come, now, why do you delay?" "Still you misunderstand, my lord." "Tell me then what you do mean." "Our old bargain over this is broken, my lord. We must make another." His anger rose. "What? You want more? You're trying to lead me on with your damned courtezan tricks!"
Julian made no response. He drew nearer and looked in silence. "Now what are they to each other?" Philadelphus continued. "Father and daughter; lady and servant or a courtezan and her manager?" At the continued silence of his companion, he argued his question himself. "No such ill-fashioned peasant loins as his ever begat such sweet patrician perfection as that!" he declared.
In fact, the government must hold the scales, and allow the citizens to load them as they please. In Lyons I met the most famous courtezan of Venice. It was generally admitted that her equal had never been seen. Her name was Ancilla.
