after she had said her prayers. Sometimes in the afternoon she went to chat with the postilions. Madame was in her room upstairs. She wore an open dressing gown that showed between the shawl facings of her bodice a pleated chamisette with three gold buttons. Her belt was a corded girdle with great tassels, and her small garnet coloured slippers had a large knot of ribbon that fell over her instep. She had bought herself a blotting book, writing case, pen-holder, and envelopes, although she had no one to write to; ray ban cats 4000 she dusted her what-not, looked at herself in the ray ban cats 4000 glass, picked up a book, and then, dreaming between the lines, let it drop on her knees. She longed to travel or to go back to her convent. She wished at the same time to die and to live in Paris. Charles in snow and rain trotted

When at eleven oclock Charles came back from the chemists shop, whither he had gone after dinner to return the rema ray ban cats 4000 inder of the sticking-plaster, he found his wife standing by the cradle. I assure you its nothing. he said, kissing her on the forehead. Dont worry, my poor darling; you will make yourself ill. He had stayed a long time at the chemists. Although he had not seemed much moved, Homais, nevertheless, had exerted himself to buoy him up, to keep up his spirits. Then they had talked of the various dangers that threaten childhood, of the carelessness of servants. Madame Homais knew something of it, having still upon her chest the marks left by a basin f ray ban cats 4000 ull of soup that a cook

And he pretended not to notice her melancholy sighs, nor the handkerchief she took out. Then Emma repented. She even asked herself why she detested Charles; if it had not been better to have been able to love him? But he gave her no opportunities for such a revival of sentiment, so that she was much embarrassed by her desire for sacrifice, when the druggist came just in time to provide her with an opportunity. Chapter Eleven He had recently read a eulogy on a new me ray ban cats 4000 thod for curing club-foot, and as he was a partisan of progress, he conceived the patriotic idea that Yonville, in order to keep to the fore, ought to

Well see. Night brings counsel. Then to Leon, who was walking along with them, Now that you are in our part of the world, I hope youll come and ask us for some dinner now and then. The clerk declared he would not fail to do so, being obliged, moreover, to go to Yonville on some business for his office. And they parted before the Saint-Herbland Passage just as the clock in the cathedral struck half-past eleven. Part III Chapter One Monsieur Leon, while studying law, had gone pretty often to the dancing-rooms, where he was even a great success amongst the grisettes, who thought he had a distinguished air. He
tremulous, all desire, she threw open her window, breathed in the cold air, shook loose in the wind her masses of hair, too heavy, and, gazing upon the stars, longed for some princely love. She thought of him, of Leon. She would then have given anything for a single one of those meetings that surfeited her. These were her gala days. She wanted them to be sumptuous, and when h ray ban cats 4000 e alone could not pay the expenses, she made up the deficit liberally, which happened pretty well every time. He tried to make her understand that they would be quite as comfortable somewhere else, in a smaller hotel, but she always found some objection. One day she drew six small silver-gilt spoons from her bag they were old Roualts wedding present, begging him to pawn ray ban cats 4000 them at once for her, and Leon obeyed, though the

Sometimes, however, some curious person climbed on to the garden hedge, and saw with amazement this long-bearded, shabbily clothed, wild man, who wept aloud as he walked up an ray ban cats 4000 d down. In the evening in summer he took his little girl with him and led her to the cemetery. They came back at nightfall, when the only light left in the Place was that in Binets window. The voluptuousness of his grief was, however, incomplete, for he had no one near him to share it, and he paid visits to Madame Lefrancois to be able to speak of her. But the landlady only listened with half a ray ban cats 4000 n ear, having troubles like himself. For Lheureux had at last established the Favorites du Commerce, and Hivert, who enjoyed a great reputation for
saying, .Good afternoon, how are you?. and when midnight came he was saying, .Good ray ban cats 4000 afternoon, how are you?. At one point I saw him going off somewhere with a dignitary. Then he came back with a middle-aged woman; next minute he was talking to a couple of young ushers in the street. The next minute he was s ray ban cats 4000 haking my hand without recognizing me and saying, .Happy New Year, mboy.. He wasnt drunk on liquor, just drunk on what he liked - crowds of people milling. Everybody knew him. .Happy New Year,. he called, and sometimes .Merry Christmas.. He said this all the time. At Christmas he said Happy Halloween. There was a tenor in the bar who was highly respected by everyone; Denver Doll had insisted 35 that I meet him and I was trying to avoid it; his name was DAnnunzio or some such thing. His

The ride I proceeded to get was with a skinny, haggard man who believed in controlled starvation for the sake of health. When I told him I was starving to death as we rolled east he said, .Fine, fine, theres nothing better for you. I myself havent eaten for three days. Im going to live to be a hundred and fifty years old.. He was a bag of bones, a floppy doll, a broken stick, a maniac. I might have gotten a ride with an affluent fat man whod say, .Lets stop at this restaurant and have some pork chops and beans.. No, I had to get a ride that morning with a m ray ban cats 4000 aniac who believed in controlled starvation for the sake of health. After
