Our ordinary business-terms, in short.

Another week, and Clairvaux broke in bloom

At end of April, to receive again

Monsieur Léonce Miranda, gentleman,

Ex-jeweller and goldsmith: never more—

According to the purpose he professed—

To quit this paradise, his property,

This Clara, his companion: so it proved.

The Cousins, each with elongated nose,

Discussed their bargain, reconciled them soon
