3: Dites donc: see List of Exclamations.
4: enfin: shows that Daniel is alive to Mr. Perrichon's change of feeling towards Armand. Tr., after all, or, as a matter of fact.

6: Par exemple: see List of Exclamations.
7: ça: for quant à ça! = as for that!
8: une tasse de thé: Daniel sneers at this handsome reward for saving a life.
