Thanks to Karin Montin! She e-mailed me about the Biblioth豵e
Nationale de France (http://www.bnf.fr) and I found a
wealth of information. I was trying to access this database
through http://www.theeuropeanlibrary.org
and had been failing to get as many hits (probably operator
error). Direct access worked much better. Most of my
questions, French-wise, are answered. I may still have some
problems with the language. (I think the only reason why I
did not fail French in college was because the professor had
a crush on me.)
For those of you keeping score at home: L'ɣharpe Rouge (The
Red Scarf), Pas de Boulettes! (Angel), A la Courte Paille
(Three-Way Split), La Dame Est un Tr鳯r (Sugar), and Plus
Morts Que Riches (So Rich, So Dead).
