arranged for his sisters to be married. Ah, my dear Rameau, the man considered this period the happiest of his life. When he told me of it, he had tears in his eyes. And as I tell you the story, I feel my heart beating for joy, and my delight makes talking difficult. HIM: You people are so very odd! ME: And you are creatures who well deserve to be pitied if you can't see how we've raised ourselves above our fate and that it's impossible to be unhappy under the shelter of two fine actions like the ones I've just mentioned.

Yes, certainly. HIM: But I see countless decent people who are not happy, and countless people who are happy without being decent. ME: So it seems to you. HIM: But isn't it because I had some common sense and candour for a moment that I have no idea where to get a meal this evening?
