As to the cries of "Vivent lesgueux" at the tables of Orange, of the Abbot of Saint Bernard, and atother places, those words h...ad been uttered by simple, harmless fellows;and as he considered, the table a place of freedom, he had not felthimself justified in rebuking the manners of his associates, particularly, in houses where he was himself but a guest.
