Synopsis
Excerpt from La Famille Profit
Et cela allait jusqu'au numéro quatorze. Le grand soir venu, le professeur Profit, bon homme à l'ordinaire, se hérissait, tempêtait, refusait9 nettement sa chemise de cérémonie dont il trouvait le plastron salement Cependant, l'heure approchant, et avec elle le sentiment d'une lourde responsabilité, M. Profit, devenu soudain plus doux qu'un mouton de bucolique, acceptait sa chemise. Il passait sa redingote la plus neuve dont les coudes, néanmoins, luisaient doucement. Et bientôt, par les rues en pente, coupant le brouillard traître des soirs de novembre, la famille Profit défilait, portant grave ment la mandoline et la guitare ensevelies sous des housses brodées, la mère, aussi inquiète que son époux, l'enfant, Gustave, enchanté de l'aubaine.
