“"What do you know about it, Danton? I would make her pregnant!"
"We shall see," said Marat.
And he smiled.
Danton saw this smile.
"Marat," he exclaimed, "you are a sneak, I am a man for open air and daylight. I hate the life of a reptile. It would not suit me to be a wood-louse. You live in a cellar; I live in the street. You have nothing to say to anybody; any passer-by can see me and speak to me."
"Pretty boy, will you come up where I live?" muttered Marat.
