[ilds] a little pedantry

[tib pas]

Good morning,

The quotation "Comme l'on serait..." is from Flaubert's 17 February 1853 letter to Louise Collet.

Best wishes,

In such questions, one should notice and fondle the evidence. 

There is nothing wrong with the moonshine of speculation when it comes
after the sunny trifles of the evidence have been lovingly collected.

So where is the evidence in question? 

Comme l'on serait savant si l'on connaissait bien seulement cinq a
six livres.

Carefully moving ahead. . . .

C&c.
