`` That would n't matter ; we can always find ourselves here . '' `` In the end ! '' said Valensolle . `` And when one reflects that we are wandering through a grotto under rivers at three o'clock in the morning , sleeping the Lord knows where , with the prospect of being taken , tried , and guillotined some fine morning , and all for princes who do n't even know our names , and who if they did know them one day would forget them the next -- I tell you , Morgan , it 's stupid ! '' `` My dear fellow , '' said Morgan , `` what we call stupid , what ordinary minds never do understand in such a case , has many a chance to become sublime . '' `` Well , well , '' said Valensolle , `` I see that you will lose more than I do in this business ; I put devotion into it , but you put enthusiasm . '' Morgan sighed .
