I never heard of such another case. There is nothing astonishing about a young Roman declaring that he would remain unmarried for thirty years in order to mate, ultimately, with the girl of his choice.

"You may think so if you choose that I am afraid to do slyly and treacherously that which a thrasonical patriot like yourself is afraid of doing frankly and openly. I have other reasons. But that one should suffice you." Danton gasped. Then he swore more amazingly and variedly than ever. "By ! you are right," he admitted, to Andre-Louis' amazement. "You are right, and I am wrong.
