- John, take these 500 F to the minister for the poor of the parish. Be sure to make it quite clear that they came from me. -Yes, Monsieur le Comte.... I forgot to tell Monsieur that this man has come back. - What man? - That poor man who pretends to be an old friend of Monsieur le Comte. His name is Bertrand. - Bertrand? I don't know this person... just tell him that I'm not home.
