THE LADIES' BATH. YES, MY DEAR, IT IS JUST THE WAY I HAVE THE HONOUR OF TELLING YOU. I WAS PREGNANT WITH HIM FOR ELEVEN MONTHS AND PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS DROPSICAL. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ALREADY SIX YEARS AGO? HE TAKES AFTER HIS FATHER, DRUM-MAJOR OF THE 6TH LEGION. SINGS THE MARSEILLAISE (NATIONAL ANTHEM) BY HEART AND HAS A DRINK IN THE MORNING LIKE A REAL FIRE-FIGHTER. OH, MY LITTLE DARLING, COME HERE AND GIVE YOUR MOTHER A KISS!

ROBERT MACAIRE, BUSINESS AGENT. YESTERDAY I MADE A MISTAKE WHEN I SAID THAT YOUR BUSINESS IS IN GOOD SHAPE. IT'S DETESTABLE. THE GOVERNMENT OWES YOU FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND FRANCS, IT'S TRUE, BUT THE DEBT HASN'T BEEN RECOGNIZED, THERE'S A FORFEITURE TODAY, YOU WON'T HAVE A PENNY. HOWEVER, COME TO THINK OF IT, THERE'S MR. DE ST. BERTRAND, A RICH CAPITALIST, AN IMBECILE, SELL HIM YOUR INTERESTS FOR A HUNDRED CROWNS, THAT'LL BE A SPLENDID DEAL... (ASI
Honoré Daumier
Robert Macaire, business agent. Yesterday I made a mistake when I said that your business is in good shape. It's detestable. The government owes you five hundred thousand francs, it's true, but the debt hasn't been recognized, there's a forfeiture today, you won't have a penny. However, come to think of it, there's Mr. de St. Bertrand, a rich capitalist, an imbecile, sell him your interests for a hundred crowns, that'll be a splendid deal... (aside) and not expensive.

I HAVE PLENTY OF THEM. I HAVE FRIENDS, NEWSPAPERS, AND IF THE ENTIRE MACAIRE FAMILY SUPPORTS HIM, NEVER A PRINCE HAD SUCH A HUGE ARMY AT HIS SERVICE.

Yes Madame, I am with all my available means devout to our August Prince; all I need are some miserable hundred thousand francs to establish his accession to the throne. - And what are your means? - My means! I have plenty of them. I have friends, newspapers, and if the entire Macaire family supports him, never a prince had such a huge army at his service.
