The lover submits to all the caprices of a woman; and as a man is never vile while he lies in the arms of his mistress, he will take the means to please her that a husband would recoil from.[Un amant obéit à tous les caprices d’une femme; et, comme un homme n’est jamais vil dans les bras de sa maîtresse, il emploiera pour lui plaire des moyens qui souvent répugnent à un mari.]
