Excerpt from Pensees, Maximes, Anecdotes, Dialogues: Précédés de l'Histoire de Chamfort
Le gros public dira autre chose Quelle bizarre idée a donc passé par la tête de M. Comprend - on qu'un homme qui a fait de la prose et des vers avec suc cès, dont les drames et les comédies nous ont fait tant pleurer et tant rire, dont les romans sont si amusants quand on les lit au coin d'un bon feu, fasse la folie de s'occuper des affaires de l'état! Et chacun de dire à M. Ce qu'on disait autrefois à M. Galland Racontez - nous plutôt un de ces contes que vous racontez si bien.
