Consequently, this contention that they have been deprived of the octroi owing to my love for the "Sozies" angers them still more, but the contention is false. You, my dear friend, are doubly wrong. In the first place, we shall be forced to have Socialist policy after the war whether it is welcome or not, and I consider it extremely important to prepare the Social Democrats for it.
So much glory and so many military or diplomatic successes cost dear; France was crushed by imposts, and the finances were discovered to be in utter disorder; the superintendent, D'Emery, an able and experienced man, was so justly discredited that his measures were, as a foregone conclusion, unpopular; an edict laying octroi or tariff on the entry of provisions into the city of Paris irritated the burgesses, and Parliament refused to enregister it.
I proposed the abolition of the octroi duties and of the duty on liquors. This objection was raised, "No caresses to the people! After victory, we will see. In the meantime let them fight!
And and our road passes through it." "Oh!" I was enlightened. "Then they will probably ask to see our papers at the octroi?" "Yes." The car was eating up the smooth white road; I could see the little octroi building at the town boundary-line, and a group of gendarmes in readiness close by. It was a critical moment.
Had he stolen, or killed anybody, or tried to evade the octroi duty? No. Then why should an ugly thief of a sick man climb upon his cart? The wretch had hardly clothes enough to cover him decently a torn shirt and a pair of old trousers that he must have stolen, for they were much too short for him!

"'Vos clefs, s'il vous plait, said a polite official as we entered the door, and another laid hands on the satchels we carried, to examine them. "We had entirely forgotten the octroi officers. The next thing to there not being a necessity, is not seeing a necessity, and this I prepared in the most innocent manner to do.
For ramparts they had octroi walls, and in place of the death-dealing defiance of 1792 they now showed only the spasmodic vehemence or ironical resignation of an over-cultivated stock. As M. Charles de Rémusat finely remarks on their varying moods, "The despotism which makes a constant show of prosperity gives men little fortitude to meet adversity."
Barrymore loves Italy so much that he likes her for knowing these things, and I think I shall steal that book she bought at Nice, and is always reading Hallam's "Middle Ages." The effect of the grim old gateways, even upon me, is a little marred by the fact that from out of their shadows usually jump small blue-uniformed Octroi men like Jacks from a box.
They tried to teach agriculture by schools and pamphlets and prizes; they sent out plans for every public work. A town could not establish an octroi, levy a rate, mortgage, sell, sue, farm, or administer their property, without an order in council.
I have no doubt the scientific gentlemen at the Musée will be able to tell us all about it M. de Clairon 'Not to interrupt M. le Maire, said Riou, of the octroi, 'I think there is more in it than any scientific gentleman can explain. 'Ah! You think so. But they explain everything, I said, with a smile. 'They tell us how the wind is going to blow.
