Plate 27: Robert Macaire Négociant, 1838. Hé bien! Monsieur Macaire, vous reprenez donc vos opérations? - Oui j'ai mon concordat. Parbleu! mes créanciers ne se plaindront pas, je leur abandonne:...En une créance sur le gouvernement des iles Sandwich...un million...La dot de ma femme...un million./Total, quatre millions et je n'en dois que trois! On ne dira pas que je fais perdre un sou!... - Mais ces créances me semblent difficiles à recouvrer. Croyez-vous qu'on les fera rentrer? - Ah pour cela, ça ne me regarde pas, écoutez donc! C'est l'affaire de mes créanciers et je ne me mêle pas des affaires des autres." (Robert Macaire, merchant. - Well, Mr. Macaire, you're starting up business again? - Yes, I have my bankruptcy certificate...heavens, my creditors won't complain, I'm giving up to them...letter of credit drawn on the government of the Sandwich Islands...A million... my wife's dowry...a million. Total, four million and I only owe three. Nobody can accuse me of losing a sou!...- But it seems very difficult to recover your shares. Do you believe that they'll be able to cash them in? - Ah! That's absolutely nothing to do with me, I assure you. It's my creditors' affair and I don't interfere in other people's affairs). From 'Caricaturana,' published in Les Robert Macaires, 1838.
