Le Marchand d'habits, 1842. The clothes seller. 'Habits ? vendre! avez vous des chapeaux, des souliers, des vieux habits ? vendre! Ce commerce fleuret ? l'?poque du carnaval, aux environs des ?coles de droit et de m?decine: l'?tudiant cede volontiers sa garde-robe, pour se procurer un costume de d?bardeur, une ?pouse, un l?ger doigt de champagne, et le cancan ? discr?tion!'. 'Clothes for sale! Do you have any hats, shoes, old clothes to sell! This was good business during the carnival, at the schools of law and medicine: the student willingly gives up his wardrobe, to obtain a docker's outfit, a wife, a sip of champagne, and a bit of the cancan!'. From Boh?miens de Paris.
