Excerpt from Robert Macaire en Orient
Presque tous les convives assis à cette table sup pléaient par l'espérance ou par l'illusion à l'exiguité de la chère que leur offrait l'hôtellerie. La fortune les avait plus ou moins maltraités dans leur pays na tal et ils accouraient en Egypte pour tenter des chances moins contraires. Ici c'était un caporal na politain qui sollicitait de son altesse le vice-roi un grade de colonel qu'on ne pouvait lui refuser sans in justice, disait-il. Là un fabricant de briquets phos phoriques n'attendait plus que des cliens pour cxcv cer la médecine qu'un de ses parens avait pratiquée avec succès sur les places publiques de Marseille. Plus loin un cordonnier parisien expliquait la gram maire et la prononciation françaises, et il attendait une chaire de littérature qu'on ne pouvait manquer de créer pour lui.
