Examples from texts

Ursule was whimsical, and displayed at times the shyness, the melancholy, and the transports of a pariah; then she would often break out into nervous fits of laughter, and muse lazily, like a woman unsound both in head and heart.
Ursule, fantasque, montrait par moments des sauvageries, des tristesses, des emportements de paria; puis, le plus souvent, elle riait par éclats nerveux, elle rêvait avec mollesse, en femme folle du cœur et de la tête.
