Plate 15: Robert Macaire commis-voyageur, 1838. Comment diable! Mr Dumont un homme comme vous doit avoir les connaissances utiles!!...il faut que je vous abonne... - Non, non, c'est inutile, je n'en veux pas. - Vous avez bien raison!...mais je vous vendrai une bonne pièce de Bordeaux - Non, non, c'est un vin trop froid, je ne l'aime pas... - Vous avez ma foi bien raison! n'en parlons plus, je vous inscris seulement pour les connaissances utiles et pour une pièce de Bordeaux... - Non, Mr. Macaire, non! - C'est bon, mon dieu! C'est bon! Vous me payerez ça quand vous voudrez, j'enverrai demain la quittance! (Robert Macaire travelling salesman. - What the devil! Mr. Dupont, a man like you really ought to have some useful knowledge!!...I'll make you out a subscription. - No, no, you're wasting your time. I'm not interested. - Quite right!...I'll just deliver you a nice cask of Bordeaux. - No, no, I don't like it. It's much too dry a wine for me... - You're quite right, by Jove. We won't say another word about it. I'll just put you down for some useful knowledge and a cask of Bordeaux... - I said No, Mr. Macaire, no! - Very good! By heavens, it's very good! You can pay me when you like. I'll send the receipt tomorrow!) From 'Caricaturana,' published in Les Robert Macaires, 1838.
