"Le Constitutionnel for you, Madame?"
"Why not?"

"Do you think that reading the venerable Constitutionnel can convert me?"
"Certainly! It is a paper packed with arguments and eloquent with conviction!..."
"Never mind, I will venture: I should also like Le Courrier français."
"Le Courrier! but Madame forgets it has become ultra-Liberal."
"Listen, general: I like everything that is broad and loyal; I also want l'Ami de la Charte."
"Come now, that is Jacobin!"
