Montesquieu, 45, Lyon. Caption: "N'est-ce pas une illusion? Voici venir une Cocotte qui ressemble furieusement à la petite Marguerite Bellanger, Vraiment, je suis bien en état, en ce moment de recevoir sa visite. Que va-t-elle dire en me trouvant dans une position pareille? Pauvre petite! Quelle grimace elle va faire! Aussi, pourquoi m'a-t-on fait prendre une si forte purgation: je m'en serais bien passé de la médecine...Ah! diable de Prussien, va!" Caption (English translation): "Isn’t this an illusion? Here comes a darling that looks very much like my dear Marguerite Bellanger, Really, I am ready at this time to receive her visit. What will she say upon finding me in such a position? Poor girl! What a grimace she will make! Also, why do I have such a strong purgation: I could have done without the medicine ... Oh Prussian, you devil!" |
