--Excuse me, said the commissary, the spirit of the ordinance is this --That if you set out with an intention of running post from _Paris_ to _Avignon_, &c., you shall not change that intention or mode of travelling, without first satisfying the fermiers for two posts further than the place you repent at--and 'tis founded, continued he, upon this, that the REVENUES are not to fall short through your _fickleness_----

'Excuse me,' said he, 'it means this: that if you set out with an intention of going post from Paris to Avignon, you shall not change that intention or mode of travelling, without first satisfying the fermiers for two posts further than the place you repent at. The Revenues are not to fall short through your fickleness.'
