...ever-present dust, Marinates scrambles down the gully to show interested visitors an example. He lowers himself into a masonry-lined oblong that was once a temple room. Triumphantly he points to the plaster of one wall. There is an image of a girl in a bell-shaped skirt, and she is dancing, dim in the sunlight. For 3,500 years, up until just a few weeks ago, that girl danced in the darkness of the earth...
...Doubt. Callas at 48, chic in pantsuit or flowing, ankle-length skirt, does not merely walk out on the stage, she takes possession of it, just as she did during her last public performances in 1965 (Tosca at the Met and Covent Garden).

Judge Chesnelong said that Ismaëls conduct ran "from tenderness to the most refined bestiality. He could not pass near his spouse without trying to caress or kiss her, or to lift her skirt with a view to touching her. Several times a day he pursued her with assiduity, covering her with kisses on her entire body. And these aphrodisiac acts seemed the most natural thing in the world to him. Mme. Franconville justly called him a satyr...
