'Memoires de deux jeunes mariees' by Honore de Balzac was serialised in the French newspaper 'La Presse' in 1841 then published in 1842 as part of 'Scenes de la vie privee, tome II' which in turn was part of the author's 'La Comedy Humaine'.

Letter XLV from Renee a Louise included the words 'Peut-etre Armand en fera-t-il des cocottes pour sa regiments alignes sur mes tapis ou des vaisseaux pour des flottes qui voguent sur son bain' (Perhaps Armand will make them into cocottes for his regiments lined up on my carpets or vessels for the fleets sailing in his bath).
