LOOK! I JUST KILLED THIS MAGNIFICENT GROUSE! … - POOR YOU! THAT IS THE ROOSTER OF THE FARM NEXT DOOR. THAT COCK WILL COST YOU MORE THAN THIRTY FRANCS, NOT COUNTING THE PITCHFORK JABS!

LHERBETTE. DEPUTY SINCE AGES AND ONE OF THE FEW LUCKY ONES WHO CAN RELY ON BEING REELECTED ON THE 13TH OF MAY. HE JUST SUCCEEDS WITH EVERYTHING. ONLY HIS NAME IS NOT TO HIS TASTE. HE IS ALSO TRYING TO GIVE HIMSELF A DISTINCT AIR.
Honoré Daumier
Lherbette. Député depuis un temps immémorial, Lherbette plus heureux que la plus part de ses confrères a encore eu la chance d'être renommé le 13 Mai, tout lui réussit! - Son nom seul le contrarie, aussi cherche-t-il à prendre l'air fin.
