*****   "You are not to think," Clairwil remarked to me, "that those
individuals there have been picked at random from the class that ordinarily
supplies them; they are libertines like us, but less prosperous: unable to
pay the admission fee, they fulfill their functions out of pleasure and
just as you would suppose, the job is done better in this manner.  Some of
them receive a stipend, others ask only to enjoy a member's privileges,
these are granted to them."  (The Marquis de Sade, _Juliette_)   *****
