A Usurer had constantly two dishes brought to his table, but eat of but one; his Man once brought but one, and left the other behind. Sirrah, said his Master, Where’s the other Dish? Sir, said he, It has come so oft, I thought it would have found its way hither without my assistance.

Un Usurier se faisoit toujours servir deux Plats à Table, quoy qu’il ne touchât qu’à un; un jour son valet n’en servit qu’un, & laissa l’autre. Coquin, lui dit son Maitre, Où est l’autre Plat? Monsieur, dit il, Il est venu ici si souvent, que je croyois qu’il retrouveroit assez le chemin sans moy.
