<MISADVENTURES AND DISAPPOINTMENT OF MR.GOGO>: (1) What, Director, you've lost 99,721[francs] 35 centimes from the 100,000 f[rancs] that my father deposited in your friendly society 40 years ago!... But your prospectuses say that your Capital has increased six-fold in six years from the accumulation of interests and the interest on the interests... — it's true, but... misfortunes... variations in revenue... my predecessors fleeing from their creditors... anyway, the future of this mutual society is assured from now on... — Oh! it's assured? well that's different!... well!! keep my 278[francs] 65 centimes, accumulate interest and try to regain the capital... don't lose it... I'll come back later... — very well!!... very well!!... I'll keep an eye on your money, I'll look after it as if it were my own... come back later... as late as possible.
