  • “She was one of those pretty and charming girls who are sometimes, as if by a mistake of destiny, born in a family of clerks.”
  • “Nothing. Only I have no dress, and therefore I can’t go to this ball. Give your card to some colleague whose wife is better equipped than I.”
  • “She fastened it around her throat, outside her high-necked dress, and remained lost in ecstasy at the sight of herself.”

MARXIST

  • “Everyone wants to go; it is very select, and they are not giving many invitations to clerks.”

 

  • ¨She had no dresses, no jewels, nothing. And she loved nothing but that; she felt made for that. She would so have liked to please, to be envied, to be charming, to be sought after.”

  • “It annoys me not to have a single jewel, not a single stone, nothing to put on. I shall look like distress. I should almost rather not go at all.”

MARXIST

  • "She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of being known, understood, loved, wedded, by any rich and distinguished man; and she let herself be married to a little clerk at the Ministry of Public Instruction."
