She had long cherished the dream of possessing a white angora, and when, that morning, of her own accord, Zut stepped into the Salon Malakoff, she was received with demonstrations even warmer than those to which she had long since become accustomed.
"How long have you been here?" asked Fitzgerald. "I should say about two hours. It was very simple. He came to the door. I opened it. He came in. Zut! He is as powerful as a lion." "Why didn't you call?" "I was too busy, and suddenly it became too late. Gone?" "Yes." And Fitzgerald swore as he rubbed the side of his head. Briefly he related what had befallen him.
Zut! Boum-boum! Get along, old fellow, or we'll never see the pretty ladies of Pride's this blooming day!" There was a shorter cut by a spotted trail, and when he saw the first blaze glimmering through the leaves he steered his horse toward it.
"I've been on the go all day long," Athenais explained sweetly; "and now I've got nothing left to keep up on." "Zut!" the Delorme insisted. "Have more champagne and " "Thank you, no, dearest. My head is swimming with it already. I really must go. Surely you don't mind?"
At this moment a bass drum and a clarionet intervene in the clamor with a delicious French melody, "Ah! zut alors si Nadar est malade!" and the company retire to the ball-room to dance, and also, women as well as men, to smoke immense cigars. Yakaguazu, a large square village near Villa Rica, is visited by M. Forgues.

What do you think of that? Come, will you go? We'll drink champagne, and we'll laugh. No? Zut then, and my compliments to your family." But, at the moment of leaving the room, her heart failed her. "This is doubtless the last time I shall ever see you, M. de Tregars," she said. "Farewell! You know now why I, who have a dowry of a million, I envy Gilberte Favoral. Once more farewell.
He told himself that he would do as much for any girl in her situation, and, indeed, so hot ran his rage and so dearly did his young blood love rash adventure and high-handed justice, that there was some honest excuse for the statement! "Zut! A man does not risk his neck for a matter of indifference!" said the little Baroff sagely, her knowing eyes on Billy's grim young face.
One does not sell inferior eggs in Paris without hearing of it sooner or later. I know more than I have told, but not more than I can tell, if I choose." "Our ancient friendship" faltered Alexandrine, touched in a vulnerable spot. " preserves you thus far," added Flique, no less unmoved. "Beware how you abuse it!" And so the calls of Zut were no longer disturbed.
Even for Madame Caille herself, who fed her with the choicest morsels from her own plate, brushed her fine fur with excessive care, and addressed caressing remarks to her at minute intervals throughout the day, Zut manifested a lack of interest that amounted to contempt.
