After little convincing, Claude has decided to start printing a weekly pamphlet out of the print shop entitled "Les Autres Idees"[The Other Ideas]. The statements in the pamphlet are He claims that he can do both the pamphlet and sanctioned texts. I told him he was insane.
When you take into account that he is in that shop from 7am to 8pm every night and then sits around drinking and talking with his friends until 3 or so in the morning, it seems impossible to me that somewhere in the schedule he will have the time to print a pamphlet as well. He also wants to continue having the salon at the house, perhaps even in the print shop after hours. I had to talk him out of the later. How he could even think that is beyond me. We were visited again by the Chatelet today. They've come by twice in the past two months, it seems awfully suspicious. Perhaps I'm just a little on edge about security in a house full of rebels.
Claude has spent most of the past week in the shop. The men come by only on Thursdays and Saturdays now which is nice. The rest of the week, either Claude stays at home in the print shop or heads over to the saloon down the street to meet with friends. He's very passionate about the subject. I'm not certain of where this will go. When the men do come over to the house, I sometimes join the conversation. Although some of them look at me as a woman and therefore have nothing to say, many of them realize that I know what I'm talking about. There is a heavy focus on the rights of man and citizen and I often have to enter a female point; citizens are not just men. Women comprise half of France and should be treated just as equally as men. I think they have a difficult time believing this.
