None of those fine young fellows whom I used to see at the Hotel de La Mole, who read _Rene_, would have any of his absurdities; but apart from those of them who are very young and have inherited fortunes, as well, and know nothing of the value of money, which of those fine Parisians would be capable of such a sacrifice?'
Un de ces beaux jeunes gens que j’ai vus à l’hôtel de La Mole, et qui lisent René, n’aurait aucun de ces ridicules ; mais excepté ceux qui sont fort jeunes et encore enrichis par héritage, et qui ignorent la valeur de l’argent, quel est celui de ces beaux Parisiens qui serait capable d’un tel sacrifice?
