The Cooper

chette, do what I tell you, you will make my little wife, I will make myself handsome to please you, I will love you, I will caress you, I will... you are yawning.

By the way.

What is it?

Master Persil has sent his boy here.

What for?

To tell you that their master arrives this evening, and that you must take him your bill to be paid for what you provided for his garden.

By God, he has made me wait long enough.

You must go there this evening.

This evening? come, let us not waste any time, it is money that is owed to me, do you know, roughly what he owes me?

No, you have it in writing upstairs.

Good, it is an account that will soon be settled: let us see.

You would be more comfortable in your room.

Four barrels, well hooped, almost all new to receive the water from the wells, at four francs each, that makes... 4 and 4 make 8, 8 and 8... How much does that make?

8 and 8 make 16.
