“- My dear friend, we have learned yesterday at the theatre that a gentleman has inadvertedly stepped on your foot.... We have come to get his address and we are eager to announce that the affair is arranged.... He is waiting for you this morning in the Bois de Boulogne. You will raise pistols at a distance of 15 paces,” plate 1 from Les Amis

“- Hey, Baptiste, what are these two shouting for the last hour… I am sure they are fighting! - Oh no, they make such funny movements, that's hilarious… I've got it: the are rehearsing a tragedy which they will perform at the party of Madame Follemèche… Lucky the bourgeois who can afford with his income to enjoy such entertainments… the man is almost as funny as the clown of the Folies-Nouvelles!,” plate 11 from Les Comédiens De Société

A Present for an Artist. The Chinese adore music, but they are also passionately fond of musicians. Their infatuation of this attitude is carried to extremes which are not easily understood in our civilized regions. Thus it is quite normal to see Chinese harnessed like horses to a cab and drive their idol around town. An when a pianist has improvised variations more or less brilliant of the "air of moonlight", "Ah!... you will say... Mama" or "King Dagobert", they find nothing better to bestow on him than a sword of honour which is accepted with a coolness equally laughable, plate 23 from Voyage En Chine
