That imbecile Dubrancard, instead of spending 300 francs for this dance-evening where they are just serving tea, he should rather have invited us for a good meal. (opinion of those who do not dance)
(Cet imbécile de Dubrancard, au lieu de dépenser trois cents francs pour cette soirée dansante où l'on ne vous sert que du thé, n'aurait-il pas mieux fait de nous donner un bon dîner? (Opinion de ceux qui ne dansent pas.))
