Ma foi! c'est comme on dit...
“Well...as the saying goes, like a genuine string of pearls, .... only some of them have become unthreaded, that's all!,” plate 9 from Coquetterie
“What about that..., they don't seem to be interested in me any more,” plate 89 from Actualités
L'ancien négociant
“- Sir, you who are so good, can't you get me small position?.... I am able to furnish you the best references on my honesty.... - You have always remained honest?... But in that case, my worthy man, why the devil have you come to me? You ought to know that I concentrate all my business and all my charities on this highly interesting class of freed convicts! Why don't you go and steal something or at least kill a bit... and once you are out of Toulon-prison, come and see me... I'll be delighted to offer you a helping hand!,” plate 19 from Les Philantropes Du Jour
