Crossword-Solution: ARISTO 6 letters, 40 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 6

Every afternoon before the gates closed and the market carts went out in procession by the various barricades, some fool of an aristo endeavoured to evade the clutches of the Committee of Public Safety.

Sergeant Bibot especially at the West Gate had a wonderful nose for scenting an aristo in the most perfect disguise.

Everyone felt that Bibot would be that man, and Bibot allowed that belief to take firm root in everybody’s mind; and so, day after day, people came to watch him at the West Gate, so as to be present when he laid hands on any fugitive aristo who perhaps might be accompanied by that mysterious Englishman.

How is it possible to expect that mankind will take advice, when they will not so much as take warning? I forget whether Advice be among the lost things which Aristo says are to be found in the moon; that and Time ought to have been there.

For it rained like Westmorland for five endless days, while I kicked my heels in an inn and turned a canto of Aristo into halting English couplets.
