He must have had a great deal of matter already prepared, otherwise the diligence he used would be incredible. Before M. de Meaux's book was ready, M. de Cambrai's, entitled 'Maximes des Saints', was published and distributed. M. de Chevreuse, who corrected the proofs, installed himself at the printer's, so as to see every sheet as soon as printed.
She looked a long time at him as though she would penetrate to the bottom of his thoughts. "What proofs?" she implored. "A correspondence which we have placed under seal." "Was it addressed to him? What kind of correspondence?" "If it interests you, we will open it before you." "My God! My God!" she gasped. "Where have you found this correspondence? Where? Tell me where!"
"I shall now return to the consideration of painting and sculpture. "The Greeks, above all others, afford us the best and most decided proofs of the beauty arising from the philosophical consideration of the subject intended to be represented. To all their deities a fixed and appropriate character was given, from which it would have perhaps been profanity to depart.
But many readers, convinced of the irrefutable nature of his objections and believing them to be at least as strong as the proofs for the truth of religion, would draw dangerous conclusions.

I have seldom indeed seen Percivale look so pleased. "Do me a dozen as good as that," he said, "and I'll have the proofs framed in silver gilt."
