But after a quarrel, when the laundress had bullied her, the old woman was not sparing in her allusions. She would say that she knew men who were precious fools and women who were precious hussies, and she would mutter words far more biting, with the sharpness of language pertaining to an old waistcoat-maker.
And so, too, in that loud, crass annex of Broadway, the Café de Paris and in the Moulin Rouge, which died forever from the earth a dozen years ago when the architect Niermans seduced the place with the "art nouveau" and amid the squalid hussies of the fake Tabarin and in the Rue Royale, at Maxim's, with its Tzigane orchestra composed of German gipsies and its toy balloons made by the Elite Novelty Co. of Jersey City, U.S.A.
Them hussies without homes ain't got no call to give themselves airs, bits of things workin' for their livin'." "I'm afraid I'm in the same category, as I have no home," I said by way of turning her wrath. "Oh, well, yes, but you're different; you don't have to work for your livin'." "Have you any daughters?" I asked. "I had one, but she soon married.
"And that pack of worthless hussies," her mother resumed, "that come out on the stage, and begun to kick." "Laws, mother!" the girl shouted, "I thought you said you had your eyes shut!" All but these two simpler creatures were abashed at the indecorum of suggesting in words the commonplaces of the theatre and of art. "Well, I did, Mely, as soon as I could believe my eyes.
"Then you did see her?" she was content to say. "I I thought I did." "And I, Charlotte, am positive you did. Have you told your husband about it?" "Not yet." "Don't, then. Between ourselves, my dear Charlotte, an idea has occurred to me, and I fancy that if Major Vigoureux thinks he can delude me with his painted hussies he will find himself mistaken!"
We were living in our old chateau of Valrenne, near Caudebec-en-Caux. "At this period my mother's chambermaid was one of the prettiest girls you could see, fair-haired, slender and sprightly in manner, a genuine soubrette of the old type that no longer exists. To-day these creatures spring up into hussies before their time.
Immediately then Aunt Pen went into a new tantrum; she was going to be stone-blind, and dependent on three heartless hussies for all her mercies in this life; but no, thank goodness! she had friends that would see she did not go absolutely to the wall, and would never suffer her to be imposed on by a parcel of girls who didn't care whether she lived or died who perhaps would rather she did die who stood open-handed for her bequests; she would leave her money to the almshouse, and if we wanted it we could go and get it there!
Why, even now he might have one of them brazen creatures on board. No, there's no fool like an old fool when it comes to women." "But Eben's with him, isn't he? The captain wouldn't surely cut up any capers with his son on board." "Eben! H'm! Little good would he be. He lives in the clouds when he isn't eating and sleeping. He wouldn't notice anything wrong with a dozen hussies on board.
There was a father and mother; two daughters, brazen, blowsy hussies, who sang and acted, without an idea of how to set about either; and a dark young man, like a tutor, a recalcitrant house-painter, who sang and acted not amiss.
"Ah! the nasty hussies!" exclaims the mother. "What is the matter, madam?" "The riddle is clear enough, sir; these sheets are spoiled." "I am very sorry, my dear madam, but change them, and the evil will be remedied at once." She went out of the room, threatening and grumbling, "Let them come again, and see if I don't take care of them!"
