He was able, however, occasionally to be carried round in a hand litter, made for him upon a plan devised by Gaspard Vaillant; in which he was supported in a half-sitting position, while four men bore him as if in a Sedan chair. But it was only occasionally that he could bear the fatigue of such excursions.
When such a tortured spirit is driven to homicide, how is it possible for society to demand and take that life? Shall we admit that there is a duel between society and these souls deranged by the wrongs of society? "In this duel," said Vaillant, "I have only wounded my adversary, it is now his turn to strike me."
Ah, poverty, what a sorry counsellor art thou, and how tolerant we ought to be to those who have to endure misery! One day Vaillant came to see me in my dressing-room at the theatre. I was playing Lorenzaccio, and he said to me: "Ah, that Florentine was an anarchist just as I am, but he killed the tyrant and not tyranny. That is not the way I shall go to work."
And as he who is loudest in demanding liberty for himself is sternest in denying it to others, you may confidently go to the Maison Vaillant, or the Mosthaus, for a flawless example of the iron hand. Laws of the State are as faulty and as faultily administered as those of the Family.
Le Vaillant first mentioned it, and then it died away and was not credited; but since that, the reports of various travellers appear to give confirmation to what Le Vaillant asserted. The paragraph you have now read in the newspaper has again renewed the assertion, and the parties from whom it proceeds are by all accounts worthy of credence.
"Rhodoginus mentions a parrot which could recite correctly the whole of the Apostle's Creed." Animal Biography, by the Rev. W. Bingley. "The Dutch," says Le Vaillant, "give this bird the name of Secretary, on account of the bunch of quills behind its head." Bingley, Animal Biography. A snapper up of unconsidered trifles.
Many of these people are souls that have gone astray and are hysterical, like Vaillant and Henry, who, had they been engaged in some other cause, far from being a danger, would have been able to be of use in this society which they wished to destroy....
In similar situations to these has the "white zebra" been observed though only by the traveller Le Vaillant and hence the doubt about its existence as a distinct species. None of the kinds associate together, though each herds with other animals! The quagga keeps company with the gnoo, the "dauw" with the "brindled gnoo," while the tall ostrich stalks in the midst of the herds of both!
General de Saint-Arnaud, Minister of War. De Saint-Arnaud, Barrister at the Court of Appeal of Paris. Schneider, ex-Minister. Amédée Thayer. De Thorigny, ex-Minister. Tourangin, ex-Prefect. Troplong, First President of the Court of Appeal. De Turgot, Minister for Foreign Affairs. Vaillant, Marshal of France. Vauchelle, Mayor of Versailles. Vuillefroy.
At last, however, he sauntered into the dressing-shed, and was aided by Rake into tops that had at length achieved a spotless triumph, and the scarlet gold-embroidered jacket of his fair friend's art, with white hoops and the "Coeur Vaillant se fait Royaume" on the collar, and the white, gleaming sash to be worn across it, fringed by the same fair hands with silver.
