What are you thinking of? What do you mean to do? Where shall we go this evening? Anything new? What weather! I don't feel well, etc., etc. "All these variations upon the same theme the interrogation point which compose Fischtaminel's repertory, will drive me mad.
When I left there, I went to Braschon's, to see how much we owed him " "You made up this romance while I was talking to you! Look me in the face! I'll go to see Braschon to-morrow." Adolphe cannot restrain a nervous shudder. "You can't help laughing, you monster!" "I laugh at your obstinacy." "I'll go to-morrow to Madame de Fischtaminel's." "Oh, go wherever you like!"
Oh, dear mother, what an accomplished door-keeper this colonel would have made, had he been born in indigence! I don't think a bit the better of him for his bravery, for he did not fight against the Russians, the Austrians, or the Prussians: he fought against ennui. When he rushed upon the enemy, Captain Fischtaminel's purpose was to get away from himself.
Adolphe, who knows the consequences of a confession too well to make one to his wife, replies "Well, I'll tell you." "That's a good fellow I shall love you better." "I was three hours " "I was sure of it at Madame de Fischtaminel's!" "No, at our notary's, as he had got me a purchaser; but we could not come to terms: he wanted our villa furnished.
She is a friend of Madame de Fischtaminel's: Madame Foullepointe, the wife of a broker, a charming man and a good fellow, very fond of his wife: he's crazy about her. His office and rooms are here, in the court, while those on the street are madame's. I know of no happier household. Foullepointe talks about his happiness everywhere, even at the Exchange; he's really quite tiresome."
"Haven't you been to Madame de Fischtaminel's?" she asks in the middle of an exceedingly involved explanation, insolently taking the words out of your mouth. "Why should I have been there?" "It would have given me pleasure: I wanted to know whether her parlor is done." "It is." "Ah! then you have been there?" "No, her upholsterer told me." "Do you know her upholsterer?" "Yes." "Who is it?"
Besides, you know quite well that we dine with my mother on that day, and it is impossible to miss paying her a visit. To-morrow I will leave you at your mother's, for the count has returned from Frouville and will be at Madame de Fischtaminel's concert. You know how I adore music! The Touch and Go Mouse-Trap. THE WIFE. Why did you go away so early this evening?

Oh, how brutally you men take away our blessed ignorance!" This remark is meant for me, for me who had taken nothing from the lady, neither tooth, nor anything whatever of the things with a name and without a name that may be taken from a woman. "I must tell you that my husband took me to Madame de Fischtaminel's, where I dined quite often.
Still, Caroline's friends do not understand why she keeps so disagreeable a servant girl, one who wears a hat, whose manners are impertinent, and who gives herself the airs of a lady. This stupid domination is talked of at Madame Deschars', at Madame de Fischtaminel's, and the company consider it funny.
