-Mr. Court Clerk, would you please be so kind to inform me when we will punish the person who put me in this condition at Hâvre Square? - But Sir, it is quite inconceivable that you persist in wearing an eye patch, since it was proven to you that no one had been beaten up at Hâvre Square.... are you aware that the ex-members of the Society of the Tenth of Decenber would be entitled to ask for damages for the harm you can bring to their reputation!
(Un Vieil Entêté
- Monsieur le Greffier, pourriez vous avoir la bonté de m'apprendre quand on punira l'individu qui, place du Hâvre m'a mis l'œil dans l'état où vous voyez. - Mais mossieu, il est inconcevable que vous persistiez à porter un bandeau pareil quand on vous a prouvé que personne n'avait reçu des coups de poing place du Hâvre...... savez-vous que les ex-membres de la Société du Dix Décembre, auraient le droit de vous demander des dommages intérets pour le tort que vous pouvez porter à leur réputation!), number 37 from the series News (Actualités)
