To how, or what, or when—

Eh bien! c’est la première Idée.

Napoléonienne.

To sneak into a good man’s house,

With sham credentials penned—

To sneak into his heart and trust,

And seem his children’s friend—

To learn his secrets, find out where

He keeps his keys—and then

To bone his spoons—c’est une Idée
