THE PRESIDENT SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF HER VOICE. LADIES, YOU ARE FROMALLY VIOLATING § 3 OF OUR CONSTITUTION WHICH STATES THAT NO MORE THAN FIVE GRADUATES MAY TALK AT THE SAME TIME... I CALL YOU TO ORDER... SILENCE! WELL, SINCE RINGING MY BELL SEEMS TO HAVE NO EFFECT, I SUSPEND THAT MEETING AND TAKE MY HAT!... NOW YOU CAN ALL DO WHAT YOU WANT!
Honoré Daumier
La Présidente Criant à Tue-Tête - Mesdames! ... vous violez formellement l'article 3 de notre réglement... lequel porte que les académiciennes ne parleront jamais plus de cinq à la fois!... je vous rappelle toutes à l'ordre... et au silence!..... puisque ma sonnette est impuissante.... je lève la séance et je mets mon chapeau!... jettez maintenant tant que vous voudrez vos bonnets par dessus les moulins!..
