"On your tickets."
"On what tickets?"
"Why, on your theatre tickets."
"On my two seats a day?"
"Yes, that is what I mean. I have sold him both my tickets and my rights ... he has paid me two hundred and fifty francs outright. So, I said to myself, I mustn't forget my friends. I puffed you up well; I told him you were a young fellow just beginning your career, but that you showed considerable promise. I left him under the impression that you I were going to surpass Scribe and Casimir Delavigne altogether, and he is expecting you this evening at the café de l'Ambigu."
"What is your man's name?"
"Porcher."
"Good! I will go."
