Excerpt from Gambetta, Life and Letters
Two women, Mme. Leonie Léon and Mme. Juliette Adam, claim to have tamed the lion amowreua: and taught him how to behave like a gentleman. The former was for ten years his faithful companion; his letters prove to us that in her he found encouragement before the battle and sweet consolation after he had sacrificed his all and received worse than nothing - ingratitude - in return. And yet we cannot help thinking that his position must have suffered from being unable to take her into society - that respectable, middle-class society with its rigid code of morals.
