Mr. PRUDHOMME: - My son, you must always remember this important day, when the walls of favorism have finally been torn down. Sooner or later, philosophy, the product of human reason will always demolish social barriers! Young Adolph: - Right Papa, but tell me... why are they being rebuilt a bit further down?
