It has taken long ages to develop and heighten man's sensitiveness to the distinction between good and evil; we say with the most solemn emphasis that anything calculated to dull that sensitiveness, to wipe out that distinction, to drug the conscience, is nothing less than a crime of high treason against humanity.
I shall therefore go on with the more cheerful confidence, not only for the reasons that I have stated, but for another and material reason. I know and am satisfied, that, in the nobleness of your judgment, you will always make a distinction between the person that gives the order and the organ that is to execute it.
A flavour of the old school, a touch of something different in their manner which is freer and rounder, if they come of what is called a good family, and often more timid and precise if they are of the middle class serves, in these days, to accentuate the difference of age and add a distinction to grey hairs.

But I shall hear without pain, that I play the courtier very ill, and talk of that which I do not well understand. It is easy to see, that what is called by distinction society and fashion, has good laws as well as bad, has much that is necessary, and much that is absurd.
