Explore "Madame Parisse" by Guy de Maupassant on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Mme. Parisse, a young girl of the Combelombe family, had married, one year before the war of 1870, a Government official called M. Parisse. She was then a beautiful young girl, as slender and merry as she was now stout and sad.
She had reluctantly accepted M. Parisse, who was one of those potbellied, short-legged little men who mince along in trousers that are always cut too wide.
