  1. Mondenod, doué d’un cœur excellent et homme de courage, un peu voltairien, fut disposé à faire le gentilhomme, reprit M. Alain ; son éducation aux Grassins, où se trouvaient des nobles, et ses relations galantes lui avait donné les mœurs polies des gens de condition, que l’on appelait alors aristocrates.
  2. Cette épaisseur, cette lourdeur de la démarche, un certain air rogue, les vestes de chasse à boutons historiés qu’il portait, et qui ménageaient une grande poche dans le dos, deux ou trois chiens galopant autour de lui qu’il sifflait brusquement, c’est bien ainsi que j'imaginais l’aristocrate aux champs.
