"You must have done something."
"No. I have done nothing. I have not even done my duty. I ought to have taken my gun, gone down into the street, harangued the people, raised barricades; I remained at home stupidly like a sluggard" (the accused laughs); "that is the offence of which I accuse myself."
"You have not been condemned for that offence. Think carefully."
"I can think of nothing."
"What! You have not been to the café?"
"Yes, I have breakfasted there."
"Have you not chatted there?"
"Yes, perhaps."
"Have you not laughed?"
"Perhaps I have laughed."
