This one day he confessed to his shocked friends, and guided them in his own experience, reading the fiery passages of the story of that Justine, unjustly accused of theft by her master and escaped from prison with street thieves who then had her raped ... and then those monks, perverted like Reverend Hobbs, or those vicious nobles, unpunished like the English officers or the well-thought and corrupt Tories, who wanted only to take their pleasure from the girls and never give, if not disguising it with humiliations and torture of all kinds. The men of power with women all behaved in the same way, barbarous marauders and despotic masters. Only idealists, those who dreamed of freedom for all, men and women, could understand what a woman could truly desire. This is why she had voted for the cause of freedom and would do everything to create a new and free world, where love was something to be lived with words and body, without modesty and hypocrisy.
Her friends had been disconcerted by her eloquence but then the passion for them had taken over and together their purpose had grown and had become a dangerous experience that had now led them to ruin.
