Էջ 67 - Or, voici sa manière de surveiller : il établit à ma porte, dans la rue, des espions qui mesuivoient à pied quand ma voiture alloit doucement, et qui prenoient des cabriolets pour ne pas me perdre de vue dans mes courses à la campagne. Cette manière de faire la police me paroissoit réunir tout à la fois le machiavélisme français à la lourdeur allemande.
