There
is
only
one
nobility
,
the
title
of
duke
;
a
marquis
is
ridiculous
;
the
word
duke
makes
one
turn
round
.
—
Edinburgh
Review
.
The
Marquis
de
la
Mole
received
the
abbé
Pirard
without
any
of
those
aristocratic
mannerisms
whose
very
politeness
is
at
the
same
time
so
impertinent
to
one
who
understands
them
.
It
would
have
been
a
waste
of
time
,
and
the
Marquis
was
sufficiently
expeditious
in
big
affairs
to
have
no
time
to
lose
.
He
had
been
intriguing
for
six
months
to
get
both
the
king
and
people
to
accept
a
minister
who
,
as
a
matter
of
gratitude
,
was
to
make
him
a
Duke
.
The
Marquis
had
been
asking
his
Besançon
advocate
for
years
on
end
for
a
clear
and
precise
summary
of
his
Franche
-
Comté
lawsuits
.
How
could
the
celebrated
advocate
explain
to
him
what
he
did
not
understand
himself
?
The
little
square
of
paper
which
the
abbé
handed
him
explained
the
whole
matter
.
"
My
dear
abbé
,
"
said
the
Marquis
to
him
,
having
got
through
in
less
than
five
minutes
all
polite
formulae
of
personal
questions
.
"
My
dear
abbé
,
in
the
midst
of
my
pretended
prosperity
I
lack
the
time
to
occupy
myself
seriously
with
two
little
matters
which
are
rather
important
,
my
family
and
my
affairs
.
I
manage
the
fortune
of
my
house
on
a
large
scale
.
I
can
carry
it
far
.
I
manage
my
pleasures
,
and
that
is
the
first
consideration
in
my
eyes
,
"
he
added
,
as
he
saw
a
look
of
astonishment
in
the
abbé
Pirard
’
s
eyes
.
Although
a
man
of
common
sense
,
the
abbé
was
surprised
to
hear
a
man
talk
so
frankly
about
his
pleasures
.
"
Work
doubtless
exists
in
Paris
,
"
continued
the
great
lord
,
"
but
it
is
perched
on
the
fifth
story
,
and
as
soon
as
I
take
anyone
up
,
he
takes
an
apartment
on
the
second
floor
,
and
his
wife
starts
a
day
at
home
;
the
result
is
no
more
work
and
no
more
efforts
except
either
to
be
,
or
appear
to
be
,
a
society
man
.
That
is
the
only
thing
they
bother
about
,
as
soon
as
they
have
got
their
bread
and
butter
.
"
For
my
lawsuits
,
yes
,
for
every
single
one
of
them
,
I
have
,
to
put
it
plainly
,
advocates
who
quarrel
to
death
.
One
died
of
consumption
the
day
before
yesterday
.
Taking
my
business
all
round
,
would
you
believe
,
monsieur
,
that
for
three
years
I
have
given
up
all
hope
of
finding
a
man
who
deigns
,
during
the
time
he
is
acting
as
my
clerk
,
to
give
a
little
serious
thought
to
what
he
is
doing
.
Besides
,
all
this
is
only
a
preliminary
.
"
I
respect
you
and
would
venture
to
add
that
,
although
I
only
see
you
for
the
first
time
to
-
day
,
I
like
you
.
Will
you
be
my
secretary
at
a
salary
of
eight
hundred
francs
or
even
double
.
I
shall
still
be
the
gainer
by
it
,
I
swear
to
you
,
and
I
will
manage
to
reserve
that
fine
living
for
you
for
the
day
when
we
shall
no
longer
be
able
to
agree
.
"
The
abbé
refused
,
but
the
genuine
embarrassment
in
which
he
saw
the
Marquis
suggested
an
idea
to
him
towards
the
end
of
the
conversation
.
"
I
have
left
in
the
depths
of
my
seminary
a
poor
young
man
who
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
will
be
harshly
persecuted
.
If
he
were
only
a
simple
monk
he
would
be
already
in
pace
.
So
far
this
young
man
only
knows
Latin
and
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
but
it
is
not
impossible
that
he
will
one
day
exhibit
great
talent
,
either
for
preaching
or
the
guiding
of
souls
.
I
do
not
know
what
he
will
do
,
but
he
has
the
sacred
fire
.
He
may
go
far
.
I
thought
of
giving
him
to
our
Bishop
,
if
we
had
ever
had
one
who
was
a
little
of
your
way
of
considering
men
and
things
.
"
"
What
is
your
young
man
’
s
extraction
?
"
said
the
Marquis
.
