THE EARLY MORNING CALLER. THIS PERSON ENTERS YOUR HOME EARLY IN THE MORNING AND WALKS STEALTHILY LIKE A THIEF. IF YOU WAKE UP, HE PRETENDS HAVING ENTERED THE WRONG APARTMENT, LOOKING FOR A MR. PIERRE OR A MR. PAUL. HE IS ABASHED WITH APOLOGIES AND RETREATS AFTER CARRYING OFF WHAT HAS FALLEN INTO HIS HANDS. THIS MAN WORKS AROUND ALL THE HOTELS, KNOWING THAT THE TRAVELLERS HAVE THE HABIT OF LEAVING THEIR KEY IN THE DOOR.

Honoré Daumier

Le Bonjourien. Le bonjourien entre chez vous de grand matin et marche à pas de loup. Si vous vous réveillez il feint de s'être trompé d'appartement, et de chercher un M. Pierre ou un M. Paul; il se confond en excuse et se retire en emportant ce qui lui est tombé sous la main. - Le bonjourien exploite surtout les hôtels à cause de l'habitude qu'on les voyageurs de laisser la clé sur la porte.

ANOTHER ONE WHO NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT HIS NOSE THIS YEAR, SINCE THE POTATO-EPIDEMIC IS STILL GOING ON.

Honoré Daumier

V'là un particulier qui doit encore être inquiet pour son nez c't'année ci.... vu la pidémie qui règne toujours sur les pommes de terre!.....

1846

MR. VIENNET AT THE ROSTRUM. WHAT DO I SAY! (MR. LABOISSIÈRE, YOU DO SAY THE NICEST THINGS!)…. LET US BE GREEDY... LET US GIVE THE MINISTERS THE FUNDS THAT THEY REQUIRE AND LET'S VOTE FOR REPRESSIVE LAWS. THE PRESENT LEGALITY IS KILLING US ETC. ETC. THE SPEAKER HAS CARRIED ON IN THIS TONE FOR THREE HOURS AND 35 MINUTES AND NO ONE HAS BOTHERED ANSWERING HIM.

Honoré Daumier

Mr. Viennet à la Tribune. Que dis-je ! (Mr. Laboissière, vous dites de fort jolies choses)…….. servons-nous de la cupidité…….. donnons aux ministres les fonds qu’ils nous demandent…… et votons des lois repressives la légalité actuelle nous tue etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.. l’orateur a parlé sur ce ton là pendant trois heures et trente-cinq minutes personne n’a pris la peine de lui répondre.
