One year more, as the rulers themselves admit, and not one Conventionalist, not one pure Jacobin, will sit in the Legislative Corps. Consequently, according to the revolutionaries, the counter-revolution will have taken place in the year VI. This means that the Revolution is to end in the year VI., and that the pacific reign of law will be substituted for the brutal reign of force.
But sometimes, when one comes across charming and exquisite people who "cannot read him," one is tempted to give one's personal appreciation that kind of form. Dickens is one of the great artists of the world, and he is so, in spite of the fact that in certain spheres, in the sphere of Sex, for instance, or the sphere of Philosophy, he is such a hopeless conventionalist.
When, on rare occasions, she was alone in the hotel where they happened to be staying and it was then that doubt, while there was any, oppressed her she hugged Janet's sayings to her mind, forced them to support her.

Barriovero, a conventionalist, according to Grandmontagne yes, and how keen the scent of this American for such matters! attended the opening of a radical club in the Calle del Principe with a party of friends.

He liked much better to have to do with persons who were attached to royalist interests, or who had become stigmatized by popular excesses. He even went so far as to wish to name as a counsellor of state a conventionalist sullied with the vilest crimes of the days of terror; but he was diverted from it by the shuddering of those who would have had to sit along with him.
"Not at all," said Barriovero the conventionalist, very gravely. "He has the superstition of the peasant; he thinks he must leave enough wine to cover the bottom of the glass."
It's the inconvenience of the thing that makes the morality or the immorality in your mind. You're only a conventionalist like everybody else-you're not a moralist."
The complete explanation of such men as Adair we need not expect to find stated anywhere not even in and between the lines of his book.
