If his work and conduct are satisfactory, he will go into one of the upper classes, as becomes his age.” “Monsieur Roger, here is a pupil whom I recommend to your care he’ll be in the second. Then, turning to the class-master, he said to him in a low voice– The head-master made a sign to us to sit down. Those who had been asleep woke up, and every one rose as if just surprised at his work.
We were in class when the head-master came in, followed by a “new fellow,” not wearing the school uniform, and a school servant carrying a large desk. Reading over your magnificent defence, my work has acquired for myself, as it were, an unexpected authority.Īccept, then, here, the homage of my gratitude, which, how great soever it is, will never attain the height of your eloquence and your devotion.
Permit me to inscribe your name at the head of this book, and above its dedication for it is to you, before all, that I owe its publication. Member of the Paris Bar, Ex-President of the National Assembly, and Former Minister of the Interior Translated from the French by Eleanor Marx-Aveling
