With the exception of three women who severally represented the aristocracy, finance, and government circles, namely, Mademoiselle de Fontaine, Madame Jules, and Madame Rabourdin, whose beauty, dress, and manners were sharply defined in this assemblage, all the other women wore heavy, over-loaded dresses, and offered to the eye that anomalous air of richness which gives to the bourgeois masses their vulgar aspect, made cruelly apparent on this occasion by the airy graces of the three other women.

"Choose the most doubtful doubt on the docket and Flame's got a pretty level head," he interrupted himself very characteristically. "No young girl has a level heart," asserted Flame's Mother.
