HIM: Right, there aren't any. But, on the other hand, few of them are rascals outside their own shops, and everything would go well enough if there weren't a certain number of people whom we call diligent and accurate, who carry out their duties rigorously and strictly, or, what amounts to the same thing, who are always in their shops busy with their trade from morning to evening, doing nothing else. In addition, they're the only ones who get rich and respected. ME: Because of idioms.

l, every profession has its exceptions to the general conscience. I'm happy to call these trade idioms. ME: I understand. Fontenelle speaks well and writes well, although his style is crawling with French idioms. HIM: And the sovereign, the minister, the financier, the magistrate, the soldier, the man of letters, the lawyer, the prosecutor, the merchant, the banker, the artisan, the singing master, the dancing master--these are all really honest people, although their conduct goes against the general conscience in several points and is full of moral idioms. The older the business institution, the more idioms there are. The worse times get, the more idioms multiply. Whatever the man is worth, that's what the job is worth, and conversely, in the end, whatever the job is worth, that's what the man is worth. So we value the job as much as we can. ME: What I can see clearly from all this nonsense is that there are few professions honestly practised or few honest people in their professions.  HERE SOME ME IDIOMS HIM THAT'S IT WELL EVERY PROFESSION HAS ITS EXCEPTIONS TO THE GENERAL CONSCIENCE I'M HAPPY TO CALL THESE TRADE IDIOMS ME I UNDERSTAND FONTENEL SPEAKS WELL AND WRITES WELL ALTHOUGH HIS STYLE IS CRAWLING WITH FRENCH IDIOMS HIM AND THE SOVEREIGN THE MINISTER THE FINANCIER THE MAGISTRATE THE SOLDIER THE MAN OF LETTERS THE LAWYER THE PROSECUTOR THE MERCHANT THE BANKER THE EARNEST THE SINGING MASTER THE DANCING MASTER THESE ARE ALL REALLY HONEST PEOPLE ALTHOUGH THEIR CONDUCT GOES AGAINST THE GENERAL CONSCIENCE IN SEVERAL POINTS AND IS FULL OF MORAL IDIOMS THE OLDER THE BUSINESS INSTITUTION THE MORE IDIOMS THERE ARE THE WORSE TIMES YET THE MORE IDIOMS MULTIPLY WHATEVER THE MAN IS WORTH THAT'S WHAT THE JOB IS WORTH AND CONVERSELY IN THE END WHATEVER THE JOB IS WORTH THAT'S WHAT THE MAN IS WORTH SO WE VALUE THE JOB AS MUCH AS WE CAN ME WHAT I CAN SEE CLEARLY FROM ALL THIS NONSENSE IS THAT THERE ARE FEW PROFESSIONS HONESTLY PRACTISED OR FEW HONEST PEOPLE IN THEIR PROFESSIONS
