Caption | Caption: English translation: "A singular occupation for an ex-monarch, we would think at first; but what do you want him to do, this coward that isn’t of a man other than his name! When one is like him, descended to the last step of the humiliation that one can do, than to dress up in the skirts and coifs of an old woman, to give constant care to infant children! Besides, look at Badinguet, in the exercise of his functions where he doesn’t seem to be familiarized, and yet he does them perfectly! We could say he has done nothing else in all his life…" |
