If the noise gets violent, he yawns, stretches his arms, rubs his eyes, and says, "All right, what's up What is it?" "We're trying to find out if Piron has more wit than Voltaire."

I'm the one who came up with the scene of the peddler. I based it on La Théologie en Quenouille. You don't get off the hook in it, any more than anyone else. ME: So much the better. Perhaps you're giving me more honour than I deserve. I'd be humiliated if those who speak badly about so many expert and decent people decided to say something good about me. HIM: There are many of us, and each one must pay his dues. After the sacrifice of the great animals we immolate the others. ME: Insulting science and virtue in order to make a living--that's really expensive bread. HIM: I've already told you we have no effect. We could injure the entire world, and we wouldn't hurt anyone. Sometimes our company includes the peasant Abbé d'Olivet, the fat Abbé Le Blanc, and the hypocrite Batteux. The fat abbé is malicious only before he's eaten. Once he's had his coffee, he throws himself into an armchair, rests his feet against the shelf by the chimney, and goes to sleep like an old parrot on its perch.
