The other Ministers' wives were not born to charm the sight, and people smiled when they read that Madame Labillette had appeared at the Presidency Ball wearing a headdress of birds of paradise. Madame Vivier des Murenes, a woman of good family, was stout rather than tall, had a face like a beef-steak and the voice of a newspaper-seller.

There was a pause, and she heard him lighting the gas-ring in the sitting-room. Bunting always made his wife a cup of tea in the morning.
I was just saying that this particular world has no particular importance, no more than a newspaper-seller would accord to it if it were completely destroyed tomorrow ''Orrible catastrophe, total destruction of the world six o'clock edition-pyper! I say that it will become again the nebula out of which it was formed, and by friction with other nebula re-form into a fresh shape and so on ad infinitum but I can't explain why.
