Madame Riss.
Stop then. What, Monsieur Lek, again!
But what are you bringing me?
THE PRESIDENT.
A marvelous pâté,
Admirable.
M. LEK.
Here are two very good bottles,
Of a sparkling Champagne, which will do wonders.
THE PRESIDENT.
Here are some biscuits that a miserable litigant
Gave me; they are fine: smell the good odor.
Madame Riss.
I believe you. I am alone...
M. LEK.
Ah, all the better!
Madame Riss.
My servant
Has just left; she is absent.
THE PRESIDENT.
She is absent! And the valet?
Madame Riss.
Followed my husband.
THE PRESIDENT.
The happiness is complete.
M. LEK.
Ah! ah! your husband! .... The good reply
Of our President, regarding the happy journey
That he was going to make.
THE PRESIDENT.
And you, this joke
About his mare.
M. LEK.
And you, about his radiant brow.
Ah! tell the story.
THE PRESIDENT.
No, you tell it.
M. LEK.
No, no, tell it yourself.
