Excerpt from Scènes de la Vie Parisienne; Les Parents Pauvres; Le Cousin Pons
En conservant dans quelques détails de sa mise une fi délité quand même aux modes de l'an l806, ce passant rappelait l'empire sans être par trop caricature. Pour les observateurs, cette finesse rend ces sortes d'évocations extrêmement précieuses. Mais cet ensemble de petites choses voulait l'attention analytique dont sont doués les connaisseurs en flânerie; et, pour exciter le rire a dis tance, le passant devait cilfir une de ces énormités à crever les yeux, comme on dit, et que les acteurs recher chent pour assurer le succès de leurs entrées. Ce vieillard, sec et maigre, portait un sponsor couleur noisette sur un habit verdâtre à boutons de métal blanc Un homme en spencer, en 1844, c'est, voyez-vous, comme si Napo léon eût daigné ressusciter pour deux heures.
