    • 1796, Nicolas Rétif de la Bretonne, Monsieur Nicolas‎[1], page 92 of Tome VIII:
      Et comme la Dame-chef aura la tenue de la pension, le locage des habits, et le reste outre sa moitié sur la contribution des hommes, elle devra prendre tacitement sur ces objets la portion du droit de la Police sur la Fille, sans lui en parler.
      And as the head lady will have the running of the boarding house, the renting of the clothes, and the rest on top of her half to contribute to the men, she will have to tacitly exact on these objects the police's portion of the duty on the girl, without speaking to her about it.
