"At your service, monsieur."
"You are very good; you have, I won't say a devil of a name, but a singular name, at least; an almost terrifying name."
"Mon Dieu! monsieur, that don't prevent me from being as well as can be, or from having had twelve children, who are all as well as you or I."
"For their sakes, I hope they are as well as you."
"And monsieur will see that my name don't prevent me from having a good foot and a good eye; and he'll be satisfied with my services."
"I don't doubt it; we shall meet again soon, Madame Lamort."
Roncherolle returned to his cab, and Chicotin climbed up behind again, saying to the driver:
"I am in monsieur's suite, in his suite, I say."[A]
[A] An untranslatable pun: 'Je suis de la suite de monsieur; de sa suite, j'en suis.'
Two days later, Roncherolle, having purchased just what he absolutely needed to furnish his new lodgings, paid what he owed at his quarters, and announced that they might let his room.
