<The Representatives Represented / The Legislative Assembly>: (17) Félix Saint-Priest: Proof with letters. – de St. Priest is no less celebrated for his postal reforms than for his playful character. Since [the sending of] letters has been four sous, de St. Priest has not much to do; but, to keep himself busy, he has tried for some time to alter his blue spectacles; at least, that's what I conclude from the way he wears them!
