But then he seemed such a boy as to make the notion ridiculous; and yet, on reckoning, it proved that their years were equal.
"No, it was a human thing. You should not insult the brutes by such a misuse of that word; they have not deserved it," and he went on talking like that. "It is like your paltry race always lying, always claiming virtues which it hasn't got, always denying them to the higher animals, which alone possess them. No brute ever does a cruel thing that is the monopoly of those with the Moral Sense.
We have had to tax ourselves privately to guard against these dangers, and the iniquity of denying education to the children of men who are paying taxes is so manifest that I pass on with mingled feelings of anger and disgust. This important branch of the public service is entirely in the hands of a corporation domiciled in Holland.
She had found herself admitting that in these days there were women of forty who had not wholly passed beyond the pale into that outer darkness where there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The death of the woman below had moved her deeply, for the wonderful charm of Florette's manner had won her also. Towards midnight Ulrich took the lamp and went upstairs.
