As for Panpan, his street wanderings terminated in his finding employment in a lace manufactory, and it soon became evident that his natural talent here found a congenial occupation. He came by degrees to be happy in his new position of a workman. Then occurred the serious love passage of his life—his meeting with Louise, now Madame Panpan. It was the simplest matter in the world: Panpan, to whom life was nothing without the Sunday quadrille at the barrière, having resolved to figure on the next occasion in a pair of bottes vernis, waited upon his bootmaker—every Parisian has his bootmaker—to issue his mandates concerning their length, shape, and general construction.

In another of his plays, "Cyrano de Bergerac," there is one poor little tune played on a pipe of which the hero says: "Écoutez, Gascons, c'est toute la Gascogne."
"Oui mon cher bonhomme." "Zate oon sharlatanery, monshoo!" "Comme toute la médecine, monsieur." Dr. Sarkantyús put both hands behind his back, measured the young man first from head to foot, and then from foot to head, scratched his own head violently, and retreated precipitately. And now Széphalmi rejoined the stranger, and begged him to come in and see the invalid.
