This language barrier is playing hob with Parisian social life. Many a telephoned invitation gets no farther than "Madame no está. No se. Tarde, tarde." CLICK. And one Spanish maid, after long employment had given her confidence, approached her mistress and asked her why on several occasions she had been ordered to put the family cat in the icebox.

...se-Majesté. Today's trend toward wholesale restoration of time-tarnished Victorian literary reputations may not wholly reverse this judgment of Swinburne the poet. But antiquarians in England are now beginning to rediscover Swinburne as a writer of prose. In the U.S., Critic Edmund Wilson became fascinated with the new researches and the incidental light they threw on Swinburne's strange personality. In this volume Wilson presents two Swinburne novels, along with a gargantuan preface that includes an advance tour of other finds-letters, quips and critical writings-soon to come...
