He was really very good and kind to let me go at all, after he found the sort of society rampant around her.

He didn't like it extremely, but, being the prince of husbands, he was lenient to my desires and yielded the point.
She seems to live in the abomination of desolation, as far as regards society--crowds of ill-bred men who adore her _a genoux bas_, betwixt a puff of smoke and an ejection of saliva.

Society of the ragged Red diluted with the lower theatrical.

She herself so different, so apart, as alone in her melancholy disdain! I was deeply interested in that poor woman, I felt a profound compassion for her.

I did not mind much the Greek in Greek costume who tutoyed her, and kissed her, I believe, so Robert said; or the other vulgar man of the theatre who went down on his knees and called her 'sublime.' 'Caprice d'amitie,' said she, with her quiet, gentle scorn.
