Since receiving her goddaughter's letter she had added a petition to her usual prayers, supplicating God to open the eyes of Jean-Jacques Rouget, and to bless Agathe and prosper the expedition into which she herself had drawn her.
"Your nephew is a painter; you don't care for those pictures; be kind, and give them to him." "It seems," said Jean-Jacques, leaning on Flore's arm to reach the place were Joseph was standing in ecstasy before an Albano, " it seems that you are a painter " "Only a 'rapin," said Joseph. "What may that be?" asked Flore. "A beginner," replied Joseph.
Desire, which usually sets free the tongue, only petrified his powers of speech. Thus it happened that Jean-Jacques Rouget was solitary and sought solitude because there alone he was at his ease. The doctor had seen, too late for remedy, the havoc wrought in his son's life by a temperament and a character of this kind.
This one, explained by a very specious theology, like most others, is composed of dogmas called the principles of 1789; they were proclaimed, indeed, at that date, having been previously formulated by Jean-Jacques Rousseau: * The well known sovereignty of the people. * The rights of Man. * The social contract. Once adopted, their practical results unfolded themselves naturally.
One night, when no sound broke the stillness of the house, Flore, who chanced to wake up, heard the regular breathing of human lungs outside her door, and was frightened to discover Jean-Jacques, crouched like a dog on the landing. "He loves me," she thought; "but he will get the rheumatism if he keeps up that sort of thing." The next day Flore looked at her master with a certain expression.
Not restrained, possibly encouraged by his father, the young fellow, who was in every way stupid, paid her neither the attentions nor the respect which a son owes to a mother. Jean-Jacques Rouget was like his father, especially on the latter's worst side; and the doctor at his best was far from satisfactory, either morally or physically.
Our whole system of public education needs overhauling, and the work should be presided over by some man of great knowledge, powerful will, and gifted with that legislative genius which has never been met with among moderns, except perhaps in Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Possibly our superfluous numbers might be employed in giving elementary instruction so much needed by the people.
This is Turgot's opinion on the controversy (Letter to Caillard, Oeuv., ii. 827): "Tous avez donc vu Jean-Jacques; la musique est un excellent passe-port auprès de lui. Quant
Employ Fabre's method if you wish to learn by yourself, or to evoke in your children a love of science, and, according to the phrase of the gentle Jean-Jacques, to help them "to buy at the best possible of prices."
"The world is made for us, and we must accept it. But we may criticise it. There is nothing to the contrary in the contract." "In the social contract? Are you going to talk to me about Jean-Jacques?" "Have you read him, Madame?" "'No woman who respects herself " began Maria Consuelo, quoting the famous preface. "I see that you have," said Orsino, with a laugh. "I have not." "Nor I."
