And so Mayenne came to Brussels and passed three days with the archduke. "He avows himself ready to die in our cause," said Ernest.
The work of investigating this and of arranging the results under two categories requires whole meditations, which may serve as an appendix to the present one. The preceding meditation has proved that we possess in France a floating population of one million women reveling in the privilege of inspiring those passions which a gallant man avows without shame, or dissembles with delight.
When the minister of public justice thus avows himself the agent of a party, a government, however recent its formation, must be far advanced in depravity; and the corruption of those who are the interpreters of the law has usually been the last effort of expiring power. My friends, Mons.
And in another ode he derides the artist's pictures as 'tea-boards, 'varnished waiters, and avows that his rocks are 'paste-board, while his trees resemble 'brass wigs, and his fleecy flocks 'mops. Probably the quiet of his studio oppressed our painter somewhat. The simple effects attainable in an easel-picture did not satisfy him.
The slave-holders are worse, he declares, than thieves, for they steal from all.

In 1789, he was indebted above one million two hundred thousand livres and he now possesses national property purchased for seven millions of livres and he avows himself to be worth three millions more in money placed in our public funds. He often says, laughingly, that he is under great obligations to Robespierre, whose guillotine acquitted in one day all his debts.
Here we have come to the central fact of the question: a fact nobody avows, which is yet the true explanation of the monstrous system of child imprisonment and torture which we disguise under such hypocrisies as education, training, formation of character and the rest of it. This fact is simply that a child is a nuisance to a grown-up person.
