midnight
carry coals to Newcastle ; for if any of your companions think that the sharp eye of Paris will not pierce their pretensions , or the satiric tongue of Paris fail to immortalize it , they mistake greatly . You can not beat Paris with its own weapons ; and Paris will immensely respect you if you use your own . Poor little Mrs. Vite thinks she passes for a _ Parisienne _ in Paris . Why , there is not a _ chiffonier _ in the street at midnight that could n't see straight through the little woman , and nothing would better please the _ Jardin Mabille _ than to have her for a butt . My dear madame , the ape is a very ingenious animal , and his form much resembles the human . Moles , probably , and the inhabitants of the planet Jupiter , do not discern the difference ; but I rather think we do . A ten-strike by Venus !
