JOURNEY TO CHINA 2: THE PASSPORT. The foreigner who visits China is submitted to an indispensable formality; he receives a slip of paper on which is written the age he wants to indicate, the profession he says he pursues and the place where it pleases him to appoint his birth; all that followed by a description of particulars which applies to everybody, after which, against a consideration of two francs, the Chinese government is deemed to lend him succour and assistance for one year

SKETCHES OF SUMMER 40: －Sir, would you be kind enough to tell me when you'ld like to pay me back the five hundred francs you've been owing me for a long time... －My dear man, you're unreasonable to make such a request of me, you clearly see that I have nothing on me at this very moment..

ROBERT MACAIRE. 2nd Series 19: Macaire inheritor-philanthropist. －You see, Bertrand, my wife is dead, my rights to the inheritance are contestable; I'll offer a third of it to the poor, on condition that they immediately advance me the rest... they'll never touch a brass farthing!... that's how I manipulate legacies!! －Well done, dear fellow! If you don't pick up the Manthyon prize, you'll have been robbed!

THE SPECULATORS 1: －I bought this ground at one franc per metre and I'll sell it at 9 francs. －Who to?... －The name's not important as long as I earn 8 francs per metre... it's not too expensive. the ground's well worth 600 francs per metre on the boulevard Montmartre!... －Yes, but this place isn't populated. －What d'you mean, not populated... there are more than twenty thousand rabbits!

Parisian Freebooters 12: The Crocodile: This has to do with a variety of species of Crocodile, which was known to the ancients under the name of Tantalus and which a Gymnasium naturalist of our time has called the Gastronome without money. This voracious whale-like creature is most commonly found in the localities of Merchants of Eatables. His teeth are pointed and very long from lack of exercise, since he uses only his eyes to devour. When he has had the perseverance to remain for a whole day static in front of his prey he sometimes ends up by having the luck to catch... a crick in the neck. He feeds himself only on desires and vain hopes, he is also remarkably thin. Very different from other fish of his species that swim in open water, this type of Crocodile is always in the dry

In his inexhaustible clemency the best and most worthy of kings ordered that we chain him to an assassin, so that he might return to the good. He'd have been completely lost if we'd left him with another demagogue
