Tartarin's neighbour was the last to leave and as she rose to go her face was so close to that of our hero that their breaths mingled and he was aware of a bouquet of youth,jasmine, musk and pastries.

Eventually, one evening at the club, carried away by some glasses of egg-nog, the public interest and the plaudits, he declared formally that he was tired of shooting at hats and was going shortly in pursuit of the great lions of Africa.
The poor fellow saw himself already torn to pieces by lions or swallowed up in the sands of the desert, and the other Tartarin could pacify him only a little by pointing out that these were plans for the future, that there was no hurry, that they had not yet actually started.

 Alphonse Daudet
French short-story writer and novelist, remembered for his LETTRES DE MON MOULIN (1866), light stories of southern France, and his egocentric hero Tartarin from TARTARIN DE TARASCON (1872) - the boastful, loud, vulgar 'Don Quixote' from the Midi.
Whilst reading heaven only knows what startling adventure of scalp- hunters, he pouted out his lower lip in a terrifying way, which gave the honest phiz of the man living placidly on his means the same impression of kindly ferocity which abounded throughout the house.
Lettres de Mon Moulin was adapted into screen by Marcel Pagnol in 1954, starring Roger Crouzet, Henri Cremieux, Edouard Delmont, Henri Vilbert, Fernand Sardou.
