Manon

[ ma-nawn ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

I tried to think where I had seen the name, and remembered the first leaf of the copy of Manon Lescaut.

I found her several times making notes in the book, and she always declared that when a woman loves, she can not do as Manon did.

A portion of its buildings was set apart for young women of bad character, and here Manon Lescaut was imprisoned.

Manon Philipon, a woman of a distinguished intellect, who married a member of the Convention.

The name, Manon Lescaut, meant nothing to me then, but the story of the picture was enough by itself.
