When I am in the presence of a woman, of a pretty woman, I feel capable of anything. By Jove!
when I feel her looks penetrating me, her confounded looks which set your blood on fire, I should
like to do I don't know what; to fight a duel, to have a row, to smash the furni-ture, in order to show
that I am the strongest, the brav-est, the most daring and the most devoted of men.
