- Maria Renard: They claim it's the natural order. They're born rich, and we're born poor. And that's just the will of God. It's the natural order for them to get rich by milking us dry with impossible rents and unplayable taxes. My mother hasn't paid her taxes for years now because she's just too poor. Sooner or later they'll send around their bully boys. And you all know what I mean by that. They thought it would stay like that until the end of time. Well, the king thought it would be his divine right to be king, but do you know what happened to him? He's been arrested. The government in Paris has overthrown the monarchy and declared a republic. To hell with the natural order. No more kings. No more aristocrats. Vive la Revolution!
