The superiority of the Philosophers over the churchmen in argument is too evident to be denied. The strength of a church does not lie in her doctors and her orators, still less in her wits and debaters, though they all have their uses.
It was a message from The Hague containing these words: "My heartfelt congratulations on your undoubted success Robert." Just as she finished reading it Dr. Trublet entered the dressing-room. She flung her arms, burning with joy and fatigue, round his neck; she drew him to her warm moist bosom, and planted on his meditative Silenus-like face a smacking kiss from her intoxicated lips.
"Not at all," said Pradel. "You always attended poor Chevalier. It is for you to give a certificate." Romilly agreed: "Of course, doctor. You are the physician to the theatre. We must wash our dirty linen at home." At the same time, Nanteuil turned upon Socrates a gaze of entreaty. "But," objected Trublet, "what do you want me to say?" "It's very simple," Pradel replied.
From the depths of his cushions Trublet, wafting a kiss to Félicie, replied: "My dear child, there is no more exquisitely delicate, rich, and beautiful tissue than the skin of a pretty woman. That is what I was telling myself just now, while contemplating the back of your neck, and you will readily understand that, under such an impression "

At Lyons I had composed another, entitled 'La Decouverte du Nouveau Monde', which, after having read it to M. Bordes, the Abbes Malby, Trublet, and others, had met the same fate, notwithstanding I had set the prologue and the first act to music, and although David, after examining the composition, had told me there were passages in it worthy of Buononcini.
An adjustable arm-chair, infirm and cynical, displayed itself by the window. The director of the Odéon set forth the object of his call, and ended by saying: "Chevalier's funeral service cannot be celebrated in the church unless you certify that the unfortunate young man was not altogether sane." Dr. Trublet declared that Chevalier might very well do without a religious service.
We have a crowd of silly writings, but all together do not approach the impertinence of 'Gauchat, Doctor of Divinity. I am so satiated with the great number of detestable books with which we are inundated that I am reduced to punting at faro." "And the Mélanges of Archdeacon Trublet, what do you say of that?" said the Abbé. "Ah!" said the Marchioness of Parolignac, "the wearisome mortal!
Trublet, the physician attached to the theatre, and a friend of the actress's, was resting his bald cranium on a cushion of the divan, his hands folded upon his stomach and his short legs crossed.
