Gabriel Chevallier Quotes
Enter Justine Putet, Of Whom It Is Now Time To Speak. Imagine A Swarthy-looking, Ill-tempered Person, Dried-up And Of Viperish Disposition, With A Bad Complexion, An Evil Expression, A Cruel Tongue, Defective Internal Economy, And (over All This) A Layer Of Aggressive Piety And Loathsome Suavity Of Speech. A Paragon Of Virtue Of A Kind That Filled You With Dismay, For Virtue In Such A Guise As This Is Detestable To Behold, And In This Instance It Seemed To Be Inspired By A Spirit Of Hatred And Vengeance Rather Than By Ordinary Feelings Of Kindness. An Energetic User Of Rosaries, A Fervent Petitioner At Her Prayers, But Also An Unbridled Sower Of Calumny And Clandestine Panic. In A Word, She Was The Scorpion Of Clochemerle, But A Scorpion Disguised As A Woman Of Genuine Piety.
