<ROBERT MACAIRE.> 2nd Series: (15) A groundless quarrel. —..Yes, Sir, do me the pleasure of giving that jovial fellow a brief respite... understood that the aforesaid gentleman denies himself the printing of my newspaper, and by this fact ruins my undertaking; to see oneself condemned to 67,000 f[rancs] of losses and interest... — But on what is his refusal grounded? — Oh, on a foolishness.... a trifle... on what I should pay him in cash, for which I'm 21 months in arrears... it's a poor pretext, a groundless quarrel.
