Recorder. That the Attorney-General has arrived.
La Bouzole. No—I know nothing of it.
Recorder. Yes, he has just arrived. It seems he brings the nomination of one of these gentlemen to the post of Councillor in the Court of Appeal.
La Bouzole. Ah, ah! And whose is the prize, in your opinion, Benoît? Vagret's?
Recorder. That was my opinion. I hesitated a long time between him and his Honor the President, and I decided it would be Monsieur Vagret. But now I think I am wrong.
La Bouzole. Do you think Monsieur Bunerat is appointed?
Recorder. No, your worship. I feel very proud—I believe it is my employer who has the honor.
La Bouzole. Monsieur Mouzon!
La Bouzole. What makes you think that?
