Dear me, wot a set o' hypocrites we've got to be in the hexecution of our dooty!"

"Pah!" he would cry, tugging at his midnight beard; "how can these men be aught but liars, when they live and preach a falsehood? Their creed is impious, and they are hypocrites. They are not superior beings, they are flesh like you or me. They have our passions and our faults, but a thousand times multiplied, for they walk in darkness and dwell in hypocrisy.
We explore life as tourists, who find everything amusing. We are amateurs of rare sensations, lovers of beauty." "You are hypocrites," replied Christophe bluntly. "Excuse my saying so. I used to think my own country had a monopoly.
You shall have your tub, and a weekly audience of a million readers for as long as you can keep them interested. Up with anything you like, and down with everything you don't. Be careful not to land me in a libel suit. Call the whole Bench of Bishops hypocrites, and all the ground landlords thieves, if you will: but don't mention names. And don't get me into trouble with the police.
"The time-servers and the hypocrites among them. I made it a condition that they should be teetotallers, and chapel goers, and everything else that I thought good for them.
