I'VE COME TO AID YOU, TO FALL AT YOUR FEET, I'LL SWEAR... ANYTHING YOU LIKE... I'LL ONLY LEAVE YOU AT DEATH, MY KIND UNCLE, MY SO EXCELLENT UNCLE! LET'S EMBRACE AND PUT AN END TO IT. (MACAIRE, SOLE INHERITOR, HAS HIS DEAR UNCLE THROWN INTO A COMMON PIT).
Honoré Daumier
Oui, mon oncle, mon vertueux oncle, je fus dissipateur, joueur, débauché, j’eus bien des torts, en un mot, je fus léger : mais vous êtes malade, très malade, les médecins vous abandonnent…….. J’accours, je tombe à vos pieds, je jure….. tout ce que vous voudrez et je ne vous quitterai qu’à la mort, mon bon oncle, mon excellent oncle ! Embrassons- nous et que cela finisse. Macaire, légataire universel, fait jeter son cher oncle dans la fosse commune.
