Napoleon the Little

20/24

This is answerable for everything.

You venture timidly to observe: "It is perhaps a pity so many families have been ruined, so many people transported, so many citizens proscribed, so many coffins filled, so many graves dug, so much blood spilt" "Aha!" replies a coarse voice with a Dutch accent; "so you mistrust parliamentarism, do you ?" Get out of the dilemma if you can.
Parliamentarism is a great find.

I give my vote to M.Louis Bonaparte for the next vacant seat at the Institute.

What's that?
why, we must encourage neology! This man comes from the dung-heap, this man comes from the Morgue, this man's hands steam like a butcher's, he scratches his ear, smiles, and invents words like Julie d'Angennes.

He marries the wit of the Hotel de Rambouillet to the odour of Montfaucon.
