Summary

Two Englishmen meet and shake hands on the cobbles outside the porte-cochère of the Hotel des Fermes: an obese John Bull, and a dandified younger man, saying "Commong porty vous Munseer?" and "O Oui-- il est un tres belle jour!" A dog barks at them and various bystanders register amusement.
