"Mais j'adore les bonbons, moi," said the little Sylphide, with a queer piteous look. "I can buy a hatful at Fortnum and Mason's for a guinea. And it shall have its bonbons, its pooty little sugar-plums, that it shall," Pen said with a bitter smile. "Nay, my dear, nay, my dearest little Blanche, don't cry.
And one morning Herr Dapsul did actually come down from his astronomical tower to go to church with Fräulein Aennchen and Herr Amandus von Nebelstern on the occasion of their marriage. They led an exceedingly happy wedded life. But as to whether Herr Dapsul's union with the Sylphide Nehabilah ever actually came to anything the Chronicle of Dapsulheim is silent.
Strong's voice," said the Sylphide, still half laughing. "Grady my coat! Bonner, who is Grady my coat? We ought to go away." Bonner still looked quite puzzled at the sound of the voice which she had heard. The bedroom door here opened and the individual who had called out "Grady, my coat," appeared without the garment in question. He nodded to the women, and walked across the room.
Thus, it once happened that a sylphide, who was in union with a philosopher, on an occasion when he was talking with friends about a pretty woman and perhaps rather too warmly suddenly allowed her white beautifully-formed limb to become visible in the air, as if to convince the friends of her beauty, and then killed the poor philosopher on the spot. But ah! why should I refer to others?
He now described the decorations in the "Sylphide," in "Natalia," and in various other ballets, the whole splendor, the whole magnificence. "But our orchestra is excellent!" said Miss Sophie. "It certainly contains several distinguished men," answered Joachim; "but must one speak of the whole?

While Christy was still on the quarter-deck, Mr. Lobscott came on board, and reported the capture of the schooner Sylphide, full of cotton.
He burst in upon her to declare his love, as if it were a question of firing the first shot on a field of battle. Poor novice! He found his ethereal sylphide shrouded in a brown cashmere dressing-gown ingeniously befrilled, lying languidly stretched out upon a sofa in a dimly lighted boudoir.
And what was my discovery of love? a vulgar dancing-woman! I failed, as everybody does, almost everybody; only it is luckier to fail before marriage than after." "Merci du choix, Monsieur," said the Sylphide, making a curtsey. "Look, my little Blanche," said Pen, taking her hand, and with his voice of sad good-humour; "at least I stoop to no flatteries." "Quite the contrary," said Miss Blanche.
About her work there seems to have been a subtle charm which no other modern danseuse has ever possessed, and her admirers were to be found in all ranks of society. Balzac often mentions her, and Thackeray says in The Newcomes that the young men of the epoch "will never see anything so graceful as Taglioni in La Sylphide."
