Why is it that there is nowhere one can smoke in this place? Ça m'embête beaucoup! C'est pas cultivé. À la France, on peut fumer encore.

((This annoys me! It's not civilized. You can still smoke in France.))

	Yeah, tell me about it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I understand some places, but nowhere at all? It is not civilized. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aw, well. You can do it outdoors all ya like. It's all a matter of putting up with dirty looks and lectures about politeness and cancer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Europe may be cracking down, but Europeans at least mind their own business. Hrmph. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've heard that. This place ain't too bad though, with enough sass and a mind your own business or ten. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That was one of the things I liked best about Prague, actually. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I have not been yet, though I may sometime soon for professional reasons. At least in Paris you may still smoke in a bar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It doesn't make sense that I can kill my liver but not my lungs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is true. And God forbid one not be partial to drinking. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ah, I'm afraid you will find California particularly frustrating in that regard. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ursule didn't tell me about this. Though you do have my word that I will never smoke in your house if you don't wish it, mon cher. ~~If I am welcome back.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, you could join me on the patio any time. I do not smoke inside the house, but you will notice the back patio is quite comfortable. ... for this particular reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I may indeed, with your permission. I would not like to indulge in front of Cosette, but it's a vice I cannot yet give up. At least I no longer have to roll my own. €5 for papers, €15 for a tin of tobacco that lasts ages, and who knows how much in coughing and weakness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I prefer to not overthink that particular cost. It makes it more difficult to selfishly indulge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	grisettemodele 2013-04-08 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Mon cher Valjean. You have a selfish indulgence? I am astonished. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, my dear. All flesh is weak, or something equally pithy. I am hardly a saint. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You will forgive me if I am biased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And you will forgive me for letting you down? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	grisettemodele 2013-04-08 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Mon ami. I don't mean I think you a plaster saint. I do, however, think you deserve to become one. And you won't change my opinion, I'm afraid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then I will not attempt to sway you, chere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	grisettemodele 2013-04-08 02:11 am UTC (link)
	And don't worry. I don't intend to praise your name at every breath. But I would be ungrateful in the extreme if I ever forgot what you did for me or my daughter. Your daughter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	no24601 2013-04-08 02:15 am UTC (link)
	Oh, Fantine. Do not trouble yourself with that, not now. She is your daughter as well. And I was merely glad to be of service. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	grisettemodele 2013-04-08 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Be that as it may, cheri, you're condemned to a life of my gratitude and friendship. I shall try to make it as merciful as possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	no24601 2013-04-08 02:22 am UTC (link)
	I look forward to the servitude, Fantine. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	One of the many, many, many reasons I miss Paris. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I have never left Paris until now. It is odd to be somewhere else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I went to university there and absolutely loved it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I grew up in the streets of Paris, to be frank. Life was difficult, but at least it was Paris. (Reply to this) (Parent)
