So also he disbursed three hundred francs for a wooden leg that she thought proper to make a present of to Hippolyte. Its top was covered with cork, and it had spring joints, a complicated mechanism, covered over by black trousers ending in a patent-leather boot. But Hippolyte, not daring to use such a handsome leg every day, begged Madame Bovary to get him another more convenient one.
I will obtain the necessary dispensations from the Archbishop as well as all facilities regarding the banns, confession-tickets, etc." Hippolyte, although he thought the combination a little dangerous, agreed to it, a good deal flattered, at bottom. "I will go in a short coat," he said. He went in a frock coat with white gloves and varnished shoes, and he genuflected. "Politeness demands. . . ."
"Assuredly, Mademoiselle," I said, "but I have known him longer than you, and I tell you that in a month he will not wish to come back." Hippolyte gave a grunt of approval to this plain speech. Suzanne exclaimed, but before Nick could answer footsteps were heard in the path and Lenoir himself, perspiring, panting, exhausted, appeared in the midst of us. "Suzanne!" he cried, "Suzanne!"
I am glad my hair curls naturally, because I laughed so at the face of Hippolyte, gesticulating at the Baronne, that I did not pay attention to a wave, and it threw me over, and I went right under water.

Mine don't spell anything. I'm named for my grandfather up in Woodford, William Ransome. He's dead. Father's don't either Georges Gautier Hippolyte Leroy. His father ran away from France because he was a Girondist, and came to Louisville because it was French, and father's been to Paris, too; haven't you, father?" The gentleman thus adjured removed his cigar and addressed his wife.
The Comtesse is a splendid shot, and hit the flying ball almost each time; she is such a quiet little thing, one would not expect it of her. The Baronne made a lot of fuss, and said she knew it would kill her, until Hippolyte, who was behind the party with her cloak, said: "Madame la Baronne doit essayer c'est nécessaire que toutes les belles jeunes dames sachent comment se défendre."
