"Oh I know what you do with our pieces to show your superior virtue!" Madame Carré cried before he had time to reply that he wrote nothing but diplomatic memoranda. "Bad women? Je n'ai joué que ça, madame. 'Really' bad? I tried to make them real!" "I can say 'L'Aventurière," Miriam interrupted in a cold voice which seemed to hint at a want of participation in the maternal solicitudes.
I detested the piece, and did not like the part, and I considered the lines of L'Aventuriere very bad poetry indeed. As I cannot dissimulate well, in a fit of temper I said this straight out to Emile Augier, and he avenged himself in a most discourteous way on the first opportunity that presented itself.
