- Do I actually have the honor of addressing you in person, Monsieur?
- Indeed, Monsieur.
- I'm delighted. You have a really nice dog with you! Would you like a snuff?... Why of course! You must know my family, Monsieur, the Macairbecs? We originate from Brest, my grandfather served the king on board his galleys, my father and myself, we also have naval connections. Judicial misfortune, political persecution have plunged us into a terrible decline and I don't hesitate a moment to ask you for ten francs assistance
- I don't give to people I don't know, Monsieur.
- Quite right, quite right! In that case, lend me ten francs.
