<Conjugal Manners>: (30) The plea of adultery: ''Magistrates, my client is sure of the fact. But this personal conviction is not enough to satisfy him; it is necessary for him to share it with your tribunal, with those listeners gathered here... with the whole of France. Such was the task taken upon myself in the intererst of my client, and I believe that I have made the issue clear before you. Now, it only remains for my client to see... his social position confirmed by a fair judgement, and you are very just. Magistrates, do not refuse him this last satisfaction.''
