<Caricaturana>: (50) Abuse of article 214 of the civil code: My lady wife, you leave me without anything, you only give me a miserable annuity of three thousand quid, you leave me at your door like a beggar, and furthermore, you want to distance me from Paris, to expatriate me, to deport me!... No,no, I shall not leave Frrrrrance!.. No,no!!... Listen. I owe 10,000 f[rancs] to my friend Bertrand, it's a gentleman debt, I owe the keeper of the cheap eating house 525 and ten francs to my lodging house, total 10,535 f[rancs]; give me a few thousand francs more to distract me from my domestic sorrows and I'll leave you in peace, word of honour!
