Les bas blancs bien tirés et à coins verts, les jupes courtes, les mules pointues et à talons hauts du règne de Louis XV ont peut-être un peu contribué à démoraliser l'Europe et le clergé.
[The white, well drawn-up stockings with their green figure-work, the short skirts, and the pointed, high-heeled mules of Louis XV's reign did, perhaps, make some contribution to the demoralisation of Europe, and of the clergy.]
But his frantic thoughts outran his pencil. He met La Zambinella, spoke to her, entreated her, exhausted a thousand years of life and happiness with her, placing her in all imaginable situations, trying the future with her, so to speak...
His passion became more profound as it became more tranquil.
