Our excerpt here concerns a succession of cult dialogues between Pierre Brochant, François Pignon, Lucien Cheval and Juste Leblanc. The extract begins with the annoyance of Pierre Brochant who agreed to receive Lucien Cheval, his tax inspector, who takes pleasure in controlling the latter's apartment rather than handing him over, as had been agreed with François Pignon, the address of Meneaux, the supposed lover of his wife but who will ultimately turn out to be the lover of his tax inspector, Lucien Cheval. At the end of the extract, François Pignon calls Meneaux following the instructions of Pierre Brochant in order to intimidate him.
