Revolutions





‍ ‍ With a wild rattle and clatter, and an inhuman abandonment of consideration not easy to be understood in these days, the carriage dashed through streets and swept round corners, with women screaming before it, and men clutching each other and clutching children out of its way. At last, swooping at a street corner by a fountain, one of its wheels came to a sickening little jolt, and there was a loud cry from a number of voices, and the horses reared and plunged. ‍ But for the latter inconvenience, the carriage probably would not have stopped; carriages were often known to drive on, and leave their wounded behind, and why not? But the frightened valet had got down in a hurry … ‍ “What has gone wrong?” said Monsieur, calmly looking out. ‍ A tall man in a nightcap had caught up a bundle from among the feet of the horses, and had laid it on the basement of the fountain, and was down in the mud and wet, howling over it like a wild animal. ‍ “Pardon, Monsieur the Marquis!” said a ragged and submissive man, “it is a child.” ‍ “Why does he make that abominable noise? Is it his child?” ‍ “Excuse me, Monsieur the Marquis—it is a pity—yes.” … ‍ The people closed round, and looked at Monsieur the Marquis… [He] ran his eyes over them all, as if they had been mere rats come out of their holes. ‍ He took out his purse. ‍ “It is extraordinary to me,” said he, “that you people cannot take care of yourselves and your children. One or the other of you is for ever in the way. How do I know what injury you have done my horses?”

No he didnt seem like a very good person, because he didnt seem to care about the children only his horses and a good person would care if another is hurt or crying, especially a child.
 * Do you think the Marquis was a good person or a bad person? Why do you think that?**
