But the ripple of laughter behind did not take the edge off Mr. Niles's earnestness. "Honorable Thornton, I do not mind your sneers and slurs. When I see my duty I go for it.
Oscar listened with true pleasure to these slurs on the count, for they diminished, in a way, the importance of his fault; and he echoed the spiteful language of the ex-notary, who amused himself by predicting the blows to the nobility of which the bourgeoisie were already dreaming, blows which were destined to become a reality in 1830.
