Each profession, each calling in France has its slang. "Have you seen the 'Ducler'?" asked Minoret. "Monsieur Desire?" said the postilion, interrupting his master. "Hey! you must have heard us, didn't our whips tell you? we felt you were somewhere along the road."
Cabirolle, the former conductor of the "Ducler," a man sixty years of age, has married La Bougival and the twelve hundred francs a year which she possesses besides the ample emoluments of her place. Young Cabirolle is Monsieur de Portenduere's coachman.
He is almost a lawyer; and his interests are mixed up in this matter." The arrival of the diligence is always an amusement, but when it comes in late some unusual event is expected. The crowd now moved towards the "Ducler." "Here's Desire!" was the general cry. The tyrant, and yet the life and soul of Nemours, Desire always put the town in a ferment when he came.
The master pulled off his cap and waved it; he was seen. The best mounted postilion, who was returning with two gray carriage-horses, set spurs to his beast and came on in advance of the five diligence horses and the three other carriage-horses, and soon reached his master. "Have you seen the 'Ducler'?" Every new enterprise is called the "Competition."
