Such a man is worse than a lunatic; prompted by his vicious, corrupted head, he no more knows what he is doing than this wretch of mine knew when I picked his pocket of his watch and his purse of gold.
Un tel homme est pire qu'un lunatique; poussé par sa tête ridicule, il ne sait pas plus ce qu'il fait que ne le savait mon misérable quand je lui tirai de la poche sa montre et sa bourse d'or.
