Էջ 121 - Vienna, with three hundred thousand inhabitants, there are thirty booksellers, four circulating, libraries, sixty-five piano-forte makers, and daneingrhalls. without number. Many of these dancing-halls are institutions for infamous purposes. They belong to private proprietors, who are always innkeepers.

' To hear the nonchalance with which a party of respectable merchants or shopkeepers speak of their amours, you would think them dissolute bachelors ; yet they are husbands and fathers ; and, provided all circumstances of...
Էջ 123 - Garden or the Palais Royal. How do the rest of the ladies, then, behave in Vienna ? Really, generally speaking, not much better.

Էջ 121 - The balls given in them are, more or less, merely a pretext for bringing worthless persons together. The price of admission is extremely low, for the scoundrelly landlord speculates on the consumption of wine and eatables during the evening. In more cases than one, the object is so little concealed, that females are admitted gratis ; and the handbill, which fixes the price of admission for gentlemen at fourpence or sixpence, adds, with a very appropriate equivoque,
Էջ 265 - That which the Emperor had foreseen came to pass. After a few days, he seemed satiated with this conversation, and thenceforward became more calm, more reserved on the subject. It may seem incredible, but it is nevertheless true, that at no time, under any circumstances, was he ever heard to utter one word of regret in connexion with it.
