• "That such abuses do really exist I have proved beyond the power of contradiction; and that they are at least tolerated by those -- whoever they may be -- who possess without exercising the means of preventing, does not require the ingenuity of an "intrigant" to discover, as the fact is self-evident."
• "I cannot, therefore, admit that either my complaints or suspicions are "tout a fait imaginaires," or that they are "des petitesses," as your excellency is pleased contemptuously to term them; but whatever they are, they originate in my own observation, without any assistance from the spectacles of an "intrigant," with which I am so gratuitously accommodated by your excellency."
