27th
of September Montbrion, commissioner of the administration of the
Bouche-du-Rhone, sends two messengers to fetch the furniture to Apt.
On reaching Apt Montbrion and his colleague Bergier have the vehicles
unloaded, putting the most valuable effects on one cart, which they
appropriate to themselves, and drive away with it to some distance out
of sight, paying the driver out of their own pockets: "No doubt whatever
exists as to the knavery of Montbrion and Bergier; administrators and
commissioners of the administration of the department."--De Sades,
the author of "Justine," pleads his well-known civism and the
ultra-revolutionary petitions drawn up by him in the name of the section
of the Pikes.]

Librarie Plon, Paris 1893--Pasquier and his wife stopped in Picardy,
brought to Paris by a member of the commune, a small, bandy-legged
fellow formerly a chair-letter in his parish church, imbued with
the doctrines of the day and a determined leveler. At the village of
Saralles they passed the house of M. de Livry, a rich man enjoying an
income of 50,000 francs, and the lover of Saunier, an opera-dancer. "He
is a good fellow," exclaims Pasquier's bandy-legged guardian: "we have
just made hint marry. Look here, we said to him, it is time that to
put a stop to that behavior! Down with prejudice! Marquises and dancers
ought to marry each other. He made her his wife, and it is well he did;
otherwise he would have been done for a long time ago, or caged
behind the Luxembourg walls."--Elsewhere, on passing a chateau being
demolished, the former chair-letter quotes Rousseau: "For every chateau
that falls, twenty cottages rise in its place." His mind was stored with
similar phrases and tirades, uttered by him as the occasion warranted.
This man may be considered as an excellent specimen of the average
Jacobin.]
