MadameBeauraingotu,andwithoutlookingatherhusband,sheexlainedherselfwithoutembarrassment,withoutuselessmodesty,andalmostwithouthesitation。

"Ofcourse,monsieur,Iknowthatwehavemadeourselvesridiculous。Willyouallowmetoleadmycauselikeanadvocate,orratherlikeaoorwoman?AndIhoethatyouwillbekindenoughtosendushome,andtosareusthedisgraceofarosecution。
