Pollution had been legalized by the voice of God-defying lust, and France, la belle France , had been converted into a disgusting warehouse of infamy.

The boy thinks that one who lives in the woods must be a great hunter, and clamors for bears and wildcats: Jane, in her usual unfeeling way, insists that I put him up to this. But though I am a family man and you could not easily find one more exemplary I do not propose to drag the nursery into the cold glare of public comment, or favor you with a chapter on the Management of Children.
