Carotte du Restaurant. –J’offrirai à monsieur un petit dîner distingué et pas cher. –Très bien!
–Six douzaines marennes, haut Soterne, comme monsieur prend toujours; bisque d’ecrevisses, barbue, chevreuil, Bordeaux-laffitte…. –Diable! dites donc…. –A douze francs, comme la dernière fois; un petit faisan, asperges, un souflé et du Sillery frappé, comme monsieur le prend toujours. Estonné, ebloui, vexé, flatté l’amphitrion; est enfoncé.
