| A passage from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens |
Try the SyvumClickTM Feature on this passage
A sumptuous man was the Farmer-General. Thirty horses stood in his stables, twenty-four male domestics sat in his halls, six body-women waited on his wife. As one who pretended to do nothing but plunder and forage where he could, the Farmer-General -- howsoever his matrimonial relations conduced to social morality -- was at least the greatest reality among the personages who attended at the hotel of Monseigneur that day.
For, the rooms, though a beautiful scene to look at, and adorned with
every device of decoration that the taste and skill of the time could
achieve, were, in truth, not a sound business: considered with any
reference to the scarecrows in the rags and nightcaps elsewhere (and
not so far off, either, but that the watching towers of Notre Dame,
almost equidistant from the two extremes, could see them both), they
would have been exceedingly uncomfortable business - if that could
have been anybody's business, at the house of Monseigneur. Military
officers destitute of military knowledge; naval officers with no idea
of a ship; civil officers without a notion of affairs; brazen
ecclesiastics, of the worst world worldly, with sensual eyes, loose
tongues, and looser lives; all totally unfit for their several callings,
all lay horribly in pretending to belong to them, but all nearly or
remotely of the order of Monseigneur, and therefore foisted on all
public employments from which anything was to be got; these were to
be told off by the score and the score.
