Nice, began to yawn when she saw all the people in our box.

Why do women yawn when they are jealous and curious? My mother has
noticed it a hundred times, and I, too, in my short life.


Wretched feminine position! Men have all the privileges, women have
only that of waiting their good pleasure.

I should be quite proud if I could make myself really loved by this
man.

Wild, reckless, ruined, vicious, fickle, brutalised by association
with wicked women! His feelings of delicacy, of true love, of
virtue, which are the bloom of the human heart, have been early
swept away from him. The desire for money holds the first place,
money to lead a gay life, to support the riffraff he has in his
train.

How much women are to be pitied! It is the man who first takes
notice, it is the man who asks to be introduced, it is the man who
makes the first advances, it is the man who gives the invitation to
dance, it is the man who pays attention, it is the man who offers
marriage. The woman is like this paper, this nice paper on which we
write whatever we please. God does not hear me, yet I will not doubt
God. Often a desire to do it seizes possession of me, but I am very
quickly punished.

Pshaw! Life is an ugly thing!
