Two overly polite hunters. - How is Madame Coquelet? - You are very kind... - Madame your aunt hopefully suffers no longer from the cold? - Cured completely... - and your health is still satisfactory... etc. etc. (at the same time the partridges too are enjoying the most flourishing health).

Well yes, it’s true, the daughter of Mme Chopin got married yesterday with the son of Durand. I just talked to the young man and from what he told me (in full confidence), she must have had some strange ones before him…

Honoré Daumier
The Chevalier des Adrets is the lover of a woman of the world. He is amiable and fervent, he pretends to be passionate and devoted... one day, an alleged bailiff and an alleged bill of exchange fall like a clap of thunder into the midst of the most tender effusion of feeling... "Oh! My God!! The Baron de Wormspire, a so-called friend, has had the impudence to have me thrown into prison... He's ruined my good fortune, separated me from what I love! Oh! Friends!! What are friends?... There's no such thing as a friend!!!..." The poor woman, poor dupe, casts off her jewels, gives him everything she can, borrows, ruins herself, only to discover too late that her knight is only a knight of industry, a right Robert Macaire.
