Էջ 56 - Vous nous en voulez parce que nous donnons refuge a des gens qui sont vos ennemis , et cependant nous ne faisons que suivre la loi de Dieu.

Էջ 31 - I saw the wall in the corner of the room split and open, and immediately afterwards masses of plaster fell from the ceiling and walls, bringing clouds of dust and a darkness as of night. I lay cowering in bed from some unaccountable impulse, which made me fancy myself safer there, as I heard the crashing of the falling wood and plaster, and the awful sound of the walls being cracked and rent apart An age of everincreasing horror seemed to pass (in reality, I believe, scarcely thirty seconds), till...

Répondez , et dites nous si vous ne feriez pas vous mêmes ce que vous nous reprochez.
