Excerpt from Ursule: Roman Inédit
Ursule, sa femme, avingt-quatre ans en 1855. Ce n'est pas une de ces belles personnes qu'on admire au théâtre et dans les bals publics, et qui servent de point de mire aux lorgnettes.et aux doigts indice teurs; elle n'a aucun éclat bruyant sur sa figure ni sur sa toilette sa grâce et ses charmes ne se révè lent que dans le demi - jour du salon, lorsqu'elle a quitté son chapeau, sa mantille ou son châle, et que rien ne dérobe ses beaux cheveux nous, l'ovalo pur de son front, la fraîcheur de son teint, le calme vir gimal de ses yeux, la souplesse ouatée de son col les limites savoureuses de ses épaules, la perfection de son corsage, la finesse de sa taille ettout ce qu'on devine dans l'invisible, par une règle de proportion que font si aisément les mathématiciens de la forme et les connaisseurs en beauté.
