Au revoir, Ophélia!.., 1844. 'Au revoir, Ophélia!...ne manquez pas de venir mardi 'est une reunion littéraire en petit comité...nous lirons des élégies et nous ferons du bischoff!'. Woman to her friend: 'Goodbye, Ophelia!...don't forget to come on Tuesday 'll be a literary meeting in small will read elegies and we will make bischoff!'.

Series: Les Bas-bleus, no. 4; Periodical: Le Charivari, 10 February 1844.
