EXPLOITING FRIENDSHIP. MY DEAR ALPHONSE, I'VE INVITED THESE GENTLEMEN, MY FRIENDS, TO DINE AT YOUR HOME. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO TASTE OUR CHAMPAGNE, WE'LL LAUGH... WAIT A MINUTE! I'VE AN IDEA. WHAT IF WE WENT TO THE WOOD? WE COULD TAKE YOUR BAROUCHE AND YOU COULD LEND US SOME CLOTHES AS WE ONLY CAME TO PAY A SIMPLE VISITE... IN THE MEANTIME, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE US SOME CARDS AND SOME NAPOLEONS TO PASS THE TIME. EH? MY GOOD ALPHONSE, DEAR CHAP. HOW A

Exploitation de l’amitié. Mon cher Alphonse, j’ai invité ces messieurs (des amis) à déjeuner chez toi, Je veux leur faire goûter notre Champagne, nous rirons…. Tiens, une idée !! Si nous allions au bois? Nous prendrions ta calèche et tu nous prêterais quelques habits car nous sommes venus en voisins…… En attendant fais nous donner des cartes et quelques napoléons pour tuer le temps, mon bon Alphonse, mon cher ami, excellent garçon va !
