Plate 43: Un homme sensible...à juste prix, 1838. Hélas! Madame, vous avez eu le malheur de perdre Monsieur votre fils... - Ah ! Monsieur.... - Que voulez-vous, Madame, nous sommes tous mortels !.... C'était un homme bien honorable, Mr. votre fils... - Un enfant de quatre ans, si beau, si gentil!... Mais, Monsieur, à qui donc ai-je l'honneur de parler? - Madame, je suis marbrier et je viens vous offrir un mausolée, j'en fais à tous prix et comme je sympathise vivement avec votre douleur, je serais bien aise de travailler pour vous, Madame. (On le met à la porte.) (A sensitive man...at a fair price. Alas! Madam, you have had the misfortune to lose your son... - Ah! Sir... - What can you expect, Madam, we are all mortal!... He was a very honorable man, your son... - A four-year-old child, so handsome, so kind!... But, Sir, to whom do I have the honour of speaking? - Madam, I am a marble worker and I have come to offer you a mausoleum. I make them at any cost, and as I deeply sympathize with your grief, I would be very glad to work for you, Madam. (He is shown out.)) From 'Caricaturana,' published in Les Robert Macaires, 1838.
