This fact is simply that a child is a nuisance to a grown-up person.
There was a horrible fascination in being where his father was, in listening to his falsehoods, in watching the turns and twists of his gross hypocrisies. But yet at times he was moved by a strange pity, for Olivier Delagarde was, in truth, far older than his years: a thin, shuffling, pallid invalid, with a face of mingled sanctity and viciousness.
It was no time for the smug hypocrisies under which we people down town usually conduct our business just as the desperadoes used to patrol the highways disguised as peaceful merchants.
