First, there is our very merry neighbor Madame Campanule, who is little Charles N -'s wife; then Madame Jonquille, who is even merrier than Campanule, like a young bird, and the daintiest fairy of them all; she has married X , a fair northerner who adores her; they are a lover-like and inseparable pair, the only one that will probably weep when the hour of parting comes.
"How fortunate we are! This very evening there is to be a pilgrimage to the great temple of the jumping Tortoise! "The whole town will be there; all our married friends have already started, the whole set, X , Y , Z , Touki-San, Campanule, and Jonquille, with "the friend of amazing height."

For instance, Campanule buys for Chrysantheme an ingeniously contrived lantern on which, set in motion by some invisible machinery, Chinese shadows dance in a ring round the flame.

August 12th. The Y and Sikou-San couple were divorced yesterday. The Charles N and Campanule household is getting on very badly. And then Charles N fancies his mousme is faithless.
