About This Book
Une des choses les plus burlesques de la glorieuse epoque ou nous avons le bonheur de vivre est incontestablement la rehabilitation de la vertu entreprise par tous les journaux, de quelque couleur qu'ils soient, rouges, verts ou tricolores. La vertu est assurement quelque chose de fort respectable, et nous n'avons pas envie de lui manquer, Dieu nous en preserve! La bonne et digne femme!
