After listening to her report of Raoul's scandalous behavior, he became very indignant, and swore that he would soon make him repent of his heartlessness. But when Mme. Fauvel told of the immense sums of money forced from her, Clameran seemed confounded, as if he could not believe it. "The worthless rascal!" he exclaimed, "the idea of his audacity!
"Of course I could write it to him but " Here Sylvie paused and turned away her head. Angela, moved by quick instinct, went to her and put her arm around her waist. "Now there are tears in your eyes, Sylvie," she said, "You are suffering for this man's heartlessness and cruelty.
The author's purpose is to illustrate, rather crudely, the heartlessness of plutocratic Bohemia; and by means of the bankruptcy and suicide he brings about what may be called a crisis of collective character. As regards individual incidents, it may be said in general that the dramatic way of treating them is the crisp and staccato, as opposed to the smooth or legato, method.
If one egg has got t' be given, you'd better begin on yourself, or Janet!" "Come, come, Susan Jane; there is two apiece, an' six fur company!" "Company!

Prove to me that you cannot marry me, and I'll wait, I'll be your slave, my life shall be yours to do what you will with.
And though he has shown me but little kindness, I will marry no other man so long as he lives. I cannot bring myself to form another union and break my troth."

"Your adopted father," said she, "is indignant at Mosu's heartlessness.
Prominent members busied themselves about charitable associations, and headed subscription lists, and all the while set examples of frivolity, heartlessness, and what is softly termed 'fashionable excesses, which shocked my ideas of Christian propriety and disgusted me with the mockery their lives presented.
