"Next day a wretched singer named Molinari called on Nina and told her that the viceroy was anxious to know whether she were really mad or not, and would like to see her in a country house, the name of which he mentioned: this was just what the wretched woman wanted.
"He's a rascal whom Ricla has placed in my house to spy out my actions, and I treat him as you have seen, so that he may have plenty of news to write to his master." I thought I must be dreaming; such a woman seemed to me beyond the limits of the possible. The poor wretch, who came from Bologna and was a musician by profession, came and sat down with us without a word. His name was Molinari.
We had a delicate supper and ate with appetite, and after it was over I would have gladly left them; but Nina would not let me go. The wine had taken effect, and she wished to have a little amusement. After all the servants had been dismissed, this Messalina ordered Molinari to strip naked, and she then began to treat him in a manner which I cannot describe without disgust.
Not a few prostitutes marry, he adds, but the proportion among inscribed German prostitutes is very small, less than 2 per cent. G. de Molinari, La Viriculture, 1897, p. 155. Reuss and other writers have reproduced typical extracts from the private account books of prostitutes, showing the high rate of their earnings. A. Després, La Prostitution en France, 1883.
In quite another way than that mentioned by Molinari, prostitution has even in very recent times led to the abandonment of infanticide.
As long as that need and that demand persist, they will provoke an offer. It is the need and the demand that we must act on, and perhaps science will furnish us the means to do so." In what way Molinari expects science to diminish the demand for prostitutes, however, is not clearly brought out.
Christophe was lost, drowned, submerged under such a deluge of poetry and turned to prose. He found Gustave de Molinari, Flechier, Ferdinand-Edouard Buisson, Merimee, Malte-Brun, Voltaire, Lame-Fleury, Dumas pere, J.J. Bousseau, Mezieres, Mirabeau, de Mazade, Claretie, Cortambert, Frederic II, and M. de Voguee. The most often quoted of French historians was Maximilien Samson-Frederic Schoell.
"What! you do not love him, and yet you make use of him in the way you do?" "Yes, just as I might use a mechanical instrument." In this woman I saw an instance of the depths of degradation to which human nature may be brought. She asked me to sup with her on the following day, telling me that we would be alone, as Molinari would be ill. "He will have got over the effects of the wine."
We had a delicate supper and ate with appetite, and after it was over I would have gladly left them; but Nina would not let me go. The wine had taken effect, and she wished to have a little amusement. After all the servants had been dismissed, this Messalina ordered Molinari to strip naked, and she then began to treat him in a manner which I cannot describe without disgust.
"I only use him to satisfy my desires, and because I am certain that he does not love me; if I thought he did I would rather die than allow him to do anything with me, for I detest him." The next day I went to her at seven o'clock in the evening. She received me with an air of feigned melancholy, saying, "Alas! we shall have to sup alone; Molinari has got the colic."
