, tous deux en habit. Padoie se
precipita vers eux:

--Oh! monsieur le president ... il est fou ... il est fou ... On nous
l'avait envoye en convalescence ... vous voyez bien qu'il est fou....

Varajou s'etait assis, ne comprenant plus, devinant tout a coup qu'il
avait fait quelque monstrueuse sottise. Puis il se leva, et se tournant
vers son beau-frere:

--Ou donc sommes-nous ici? demanda-t-il.

Mais Padoie, saisi soudain d'une colere folle, balbutia:

--Ou ... ou ... ou nous sommes.... Malheureux ... miserable ...
infame.... Ou nous sommes ... Chez monsieur le premier president!...
chez monsieur le premier president de Mortemain ... de Mortemain ... de
... de ... de ... Mortemain.... Ah!... ah!... canaille!... canaille!...
canaille!...
