..
--I have told you so, sir, --sometimes--like you.
--Ah, Veronica, the greatest saint is he who sins only seven times a day.
--Seven times!
--Seven times, quite as much. You find, no doubt, that I sin much more, butI am far from being a saint. As to my predecessors, were they no greatersaints?
--Saints! Ah, Jesus! Do you wish me to tell you, sir? Well, betweenourselves, I believe that there are none but in the calendar.
--Oh, Veronica, Veronica.
--Yes, sir, I believe it in my soul and conscie...nce, and I can add anotherthing still. If, before they canonized all these saints, they had consultedtheir servant, perhaps they would not have found a single one of them.
--What! you, the pious Veronica, you say such things?
--One is pious and staid and everything you wish, but one sees what onesees. Monsieur Fortin was accustomed to say that no one is a great man tohis _valet de chambre_; and I add, that no one is a saint to his cook. Itell you so.
--But that is blasphemy, Veronica.
--Blasphemy possibly, but it is the truth, Monsieur Marcel.
