Aussi cou\u00adpante dans sa d\u00e9ri\u00adsion qu\u2019un ins\u00adtru\u00adment chi\u00adrur\u00adgi\u00adcal, la voix r\u00e9son\u00adnait d\u2019un bout \u00e0 l\u2019autre de l\u2019an\u00adn\u00e9e, jour apr\u00e8s jour, sans par\u00adve\u00adnir \u00e0 d\u2019autre conclu\u00adsion que celle-ci :
\n\u2014 J\u2019ai t\u00e2t\u00e9 tous les pro\u00adc\u00e9\u00add\u00e9s, math\u00e9\u00adma\u00adtiques, po\u00e9\u00adtiques, sta\u00adtis\u00adtiques et ration\u00adnels pour p\u00e9n\u00e9\u00adtrer au c\u0153ur de ce d\u00e9sordre appe\u00adl\u00e9 filles. Filles ! Et nulle part je n\u2019ai pu d\u00e9cou\u00advrir la source o\u00f9 la femme puise cette pr\u00e9\u00adro\u00adga\u00adtive qui la rend si habile \u00e0 pro\u00addi\u00adguer la B\u00e9atitude \u00e0 nulle autre pareille. Qui lui a impar\u00adti les ins\u00adtruc\u00adtions, la saga\u00adci\u00adt\u00e9 et la tur\u00adpi\u00adtude n\u00e9ces\u00adsaire ? O\u00f9 et dans quelle chambre obs\u00adcure l\u2019arbre fut-il \u00e0 ce point cou\u00adp\u00e9 de Vie que la branche d\u00fbt se tour\u00adner vers la branche et faire des cour\u00adsonnes un jar\u00addin d\u2019extase ?
\nUn rire joyeux accueillit ces mots et l\u2019on put voir Dollie Dingue, en vaste basin \u00e0 ramages de fleurs de pom\u00admiers cou\u00adrir all\u00e8\u00adgre\u00adment der\u00adri\u00e8re les charmes d\u00e9me\u00adsu\u00adr\u00e9s de Senorita Butineuse, adpte for\u00adce\u00adn\u00e9e de la Marche vrom\u00adbis\u00adsante sur Rome.
\n\u2014 De mon temps, pour\u00adsui\u00advit Patience Scalpel, les Femmes avaient assez de tra\u00adcas \u00e0 rous\u00adsi\u00adner avec le p\u00e8re de leurs enfants. Qu\u2019est-ce donc, en cet an de gr\u00e2ce, qui fait la pareille s\u2019ap\u00adpa\u00adrier avec la pareille, sans jamais entre elles l\u2019\u00e9\u00adcran d\u2019une barbe, \u00e9corce contre \u00e9corce, d\u00fbt-on les \u00e9ca\u00adler jus\u00adqu\u2019\u00e0 la l\u2019a\u00admande ? M\u2019est avis \u2013 dit-elle r\u00eaveu\u00adse\u00adment, levant ses yeux sem\u00e9s d\u2019\u00e9\u00adtoiles vers les bran\u00adchages o\u00f9, fid\u00e8le \u00e0 la m\u00e9thode p\u00e9rou\u00adv\u00e9e, un van\u00adneau \u00e9tait tout \u00e0 la joie de s\u2019ac\u00adcou\u00adpler et de s\u2019as\u00adsu\u00adrer une cou\u00adv\u00e9e \u2013 qu\u2019elles aiment sur\u00adtout l\u2019Heure qui sonne et feraient volon\u00adtiers fi des moments qui l\u2019engendrent.
\nApr\u00e8s un ins\u00adtant de r\u00e9flexion elle ajou\u00adta plaisamment :
\n\u2014 Putes ! Les M\u00e8res de bonne volon\u00adt\u00e9 devraient-elles se mettre \u00e0 l\u2019\u0153uvre pour don\u00adner \u00e0 ces fines bouches une nou\u00advelle g\u00e9n\u00e9\u00adra\u00adtion ? Elles-m\u00eames ne conce\u00advront point d\u2019en\u00adfan\u00ad\u00e7onnes \u00e0 moins que l\u2019Une de nous ne emtte bas ! Eh bien, je ne serai point celle-l\u00e0. Elles plu\u00adme\u00adront qui elles pour\u00adront. Mes filles, elles, en justes noces convoleront !<\/p>\n

Thus her Voice was heard throu\u00adghout the Year, as cut\u00adting in its Derision as a sur\u00adgi\u00adcal Instrument, nor did she use it to come to other than a Day and yet ano\u00adther Day in which she said, \u201cI have tried all means, Mathematical, Poetical, Statistical and Reasonable, to come to the Core of this Distemper, known as Girls ! Girls ! And can now\u00adhere find where a Woman got the Account that makes her such a deft Worker at the Single Beatitude. Who gave her the Directions for it, the neces\u00adsa\u00adry Computation and Turpitude ? Where, and in what dark Chamber was the Tree so cut of Life, that the Branch tur\u00adned to the Branch, and made of the Cuttings a Garden of Ecstasy?\u201d
\nMerry Laughter rose about her, as Doll Furious was seen in ample dimi\u00adty, sprig\u00adged with Apple Blossom, foo\u00adting it fleet\u00adly after the pro\u00adpor\u00adtion\u00adless Persuasions of Senorita Fly-About, one of Buzzing Much to Rome !
\n\u201cIn my time\u201d, said Patience Scalpel, \u201cWomen came to enough trouble by lying abed with the Father of their Children. What then in this good Year of our Lord has pai\u00adred them like to like, with never a Beard bet\u00adween them, layer for layer, were one to unpack them to the very Ticking ? Methinks\u201d, she mused, her Starry Eyes aloft, where a Peewit was yet content to mate it hot among the Branches, making for him\u00adself a Covey in the olden Formula, \u201cthey love the stri\u00adking Hour, nor would breed the Moments that go to it. Sluts!\u201d she said plea\u00adsant\u00adly after a lit\u00adtle thought, \u201cAre good Mothers to sup\u00adply them with Luxuries in the next Generation ; for they them\u00adselves will have no Shes, unless some Her puts them forth ! Well I\u2019m not the Woman for it ! They well have to pluck where they may. My Daughters shall go amarrying!\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
